This is absolute horseshit considering that at the 2021 Cheez-It Bowl all I got was COVID.

While every college football pundit is putting their energy into burying G5 schools, @samneumann.bsky.social sets the record straight about why seperating G5 schools out doesn't solve any of the problems it's percevied to have created.

I will fight the good fight for the Group of Five until the very bitter end.

I really think it's important for these millionaire athletes, none of whom are children, to feel great shame for being interested in Adin Ross to begin with. Mookie Betts, you are 33 years old. You have a wife and children. You should not know who Adin Ross is.

"There's a lot of irony in Cowherd calling out the mainstream media for distortion and exaggeration, when he too often veers into hyperbole himself."

Crickets from the Stop Antisemitism org, btw.

We’ve never been more back.

“I actually came away MORE impressed with Joe Biden.”

Per @samneumann.bsky.social, MLB Network will re-air its 2019 special “The Cobra at Twilight” on Dave Parker at 8 p.m. ET tonight.

The funniest part of Donald Trump sharing an @awfulannouncing.bsky.social article on Truth Social is that it’s generated minimal traffic.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will
