The Packers, man…

1. The history of the CFP is littered with blowouts just as bad as this Oregon-JMU game but between top four teams 2. Whatever changes they make as a "result of today's games" they were probably just going to do anyway.

Every time the LaFleur thing seems to be getting a little stale he gets a Willis game and super in his bag

In this economy??

This is what I thought Alabama Oklahoma would be

Bain got UP there

Glad to see Bama thought their playoff selection was as preposterous as I did. Protest noted, Tide. You can start playing anytime.

someone get me the google trends for ann arbor flight tracker, stat

Muschamp should absolutely tap Sark on the back and let him know he was named HCIW every so often

The whole Puka Nacua situation is indicative of media toxicity in which young guys swim every day. Why is there a massively popular antisemitic Twitch streamer? Why does that exist?

I'm (only a little bit) mad. You can put it in the paper that I'm mostly not mad. Or at least, have gotten over being mad. Thanks to @defector.com for taking the time to chat with me! defector.com/creator-of-a...

Terrible media news of the day (TM)

What is your favorite 68 Venture?

Knicks heading to the Canyon of Heroes to celebrate THE CUP?

I have so many questions about what he was going for in the prompt here.

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different

Packers having a nice little nightmare 🫠

I have many complaints about this dreadful Syracuse performance, but mostly—Carmelo needs to lose that awful split Mets/Yankees hat

I’m ready for the six-part HBO miniseries on the Taylor pork roll family drama www.nj.com/news/2025/12...

the people of this great republic yearn for locomotive transport

I don’t go back *that* far but I can’t think of a more college football couple of weeks

For a couple of years now, I've been fascinated with what's happening at small liberal arts colleges, which are running out of money for reasons unrelated to Trump funding cuts. Businessweek let me go deep on the problems, and one college that's trying to blaze a new trail.

Whose league is it anyway? defector.com/whose-league...

I regrettably admit that Caleb Williams may have it

This and the "ditch the SEC championship" arguments are both non-starters. Both are working as intended and have little to do with actually figuring out the 12 teams in the end.

Folks going knives out on the G5 teams right now is pretty gross! Their inclusion is one of the good parts of the system.

I would've gone Notre Dame over Alabama but making sure Miami didn't get screwed on the head-to-head was the biggest thing for me.

No. 1 Indiana, what a universe

Four bids officially clinched. Indiana as the No. 1 seed. The live SI bracket: www.si.com/college-foot...

Truly incredible sport. Moving sucks, I get it Brent!

Duke football to the ACC

Fernando Mendoza postgame interview after winning the game of his life

Indiana and Ohio State had the two best red zone defenses in the country. Tonight, over five combined red zone trips, there is just one touchdown.

Pretty unfair that Ohio State is allowed to put up a forcefield in the red zone, IMO

Three-loss Alabama that hasn’t played a complete game since Tennessee coming off of a non-competitive game against Georgia?

This feels like the anti-E-Rob move in a ton of ways, really like it on paper.

We need to hear from the Edward Jones managing partner!!!

With everything that’s happened in that search, landing Matt Campbell feels like it would be a coup for Penn State. Outside of Cignetti (pre-extension) and maybe DeBoer, he feels like the best fit of any of the other realistic names out there since Franklin was fired.

News, not slop. Important for the whole industry to stand up for this, and readers can push back on it too.

How can you support us? 1) Let media companies know you deserve news from humans. Sign the petition here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/st... 2) Stay informed and amplify our fight. Follow us for updates on our bargaining progress and share our message. When readers speak up, management listens.

Through collective bargaining, we are continuing to press for protections that help prevent the spread of AI in the newsroom. We believe our readers should get the best journalism humans can make. We're calling on SI to commit to who has built its legacy: its people.

We sent a letter to management, signed by more than 80% of our members, asserting the need to be transparent with our readers and that replacing jobs with AI would damage our brand. After the action, they agreed to disclose the use of AI when used to make editorial content.

Hi 👋 It has been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we’re standing side-by-side with other @nyguild.bsky.social shops to send a clear, simple message: News, not slop. Readers deserve journalism crafted by human hands. Here's how we've been fighting back during collective bargaining 👇
