Me me me me me me me me me me.

I think there’s a difference between Bob Costas, who I’m sure is set for life, playing both sides, and a bunch of bloggers, who will probably lose their job if they don’t cover the NFL. 

Mega-corps like Disney pay billions to broadcast the NFL and will do literally anything to stay in the NFLs good graces. And for all the work they do as the Shield’s PR wing they get saddled w/ some chum like Cards-Redskins or Bills-Titans. I really don’t get it. The networks own the NFL, not the other way around,…

Yeah, but abolish golf anyway.

Fainaru-Wada was on Richard Deitsch’s podcast this week and he goes into the article/story a bit more in depth. worth a listen if you find this stuff interesting. they also discuss ESPN’s reporting on the NFL given their contract with them (not very much new info, but again, worth a listen).

“Everyone knows we’re just for show, why are you blaming us?”

Costas is a sanctimonious, two-faced weasel, thus why he’s being sure to note every step of the way that he doesn’t want to cause any trouble while clearly trying to cause the people he feels wronged him trouble. Just be openly bitter like the rest of us, Bob.

Men are trash. 

“i would get in trouble if someone knew we talked like this”

Hot take: I love the music of Ryan Adams (some albums more than others, obviously), never really cared about (or for) his public persona, but have seen him live many times.

This is probably what the plot of “A Star Is Born” should have been in a 2018 remake.

“We should respect the privacy of a 40-year-old man having phone sex with a 14-year-old girl” is certainly an interesting take!

It’s fucked up even if you don’t think about it!

Atlanta was supposed to be a bastion of sex during Super Bowl week, with both prostitution (voluntary sex work by legal adults) and sex trafficking (forced sex work by children and adults) on the rise. Yet sex workers say that neither seemed to be occurring at higher levels than usual in Atlanta. The lack of sex…

Sounds like its time to rank the seasons.

C’mon now, the stomach pumping urban legend has always been tied to Rod Stewart hasn’t it? Amazing how that story made it around the country before the internet.

I gave an honest to God effort to watch this shitshow. I lasted until they showed the montage of Goodell taking a guided civil rights walking tour.
