It's a good thing Jed Hoyer refuses to compromise the future www.nytimes.com/athletic/699...

Sequel? There's no sequel! It was a complete story arc! Why are you doing this?!? www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Happy 3 year anniversary to this post

Here's an early indicator for South Carolina football this coming season: The Gamecocks have not started a season 3-0 since Shane Beamer's arrival. The 2026 schedule starts: Kent State, Towson, Mississippi State. All at home. That's the first test. 3-0 or bust.

My gosh it might be true www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports...

A satire post that would only be funny if it were true is not, in fact, funny

Guy Fieri's not really changing his look, guys www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/g...

Yes, but Tom Nichols says nuanced things on here, so they are evil

Here's the thing that seems relatively clear to me about the Andy Burnham saga: If you make a big deal out of potentially being able to take down your party's leader, and then you need the party's leadership to support you politically...well, you've made your bed

My position makes it very hard for me to talk about politics in anything but the broadest or most neutral strokes I can find. But I hope my handful of followers do not take silence as complicity. And I hope others know that my silence will not, cannot be infinite

This will make me choke on my words, but I'll defend Dabo. The projected starter for Clemson was the No. 6 QB for his recruiting class. There is no need to go pick up a splashy transfer. This is how teams always used to do it, and it can work. Craziness out there www.thestate.com/sports/colle...

That Guy Fieri "new look" is the most obvious AI that ever AIed

Oh yay people are arguing about the profile of the Democratic nominee in two years' time, which is warranted because it is inconceivable that the political climate might change in unanticipated ways between now and early primaries in 2028

Listen, I don't watch as many movies as I used to and have long since grown accustomed to the fact that blockbusters don't get a fair shake. But you're going to have a hard time convincing me there were five performances better than Florence Pugh in Thunderbolts. She carried that movie

One very important and explicit aspect of Calhoun's ideology was that the Founders had been *too* squeamish about slavery. He was a break from previous pro-slavery politicians, not a continuation

Good to know that this was once a part of determining the champion www.onlineathens.com/story/sports...

Y'all okay, @nytimes.com?

🎶 Desperate for changing Starving for truth 🎶 Yeah, Lifehouse. I'm old. Deal with it

More his guest/co-host/whatever, but it's particularly galling in the context of discussing Dr. King's non-violence to decry "bringing religion into it" because the two were interconnected. Don't talk about Dr. King without acknowledging either the breadth of his vision or its religious dimension

Now I have to decide if it's even worth watching The Night Agent's third season without Rose. It was a massive mistake writing her out. It was her show too

So the elevator pitch for "Masters of the Universe" was "the Barbie movie, only with He-Man"? That's what I'm getting from the trailer

"About Time" is a great movie that is constantly misunderstood (including in this article) ew.com/domhnall-gle...

Indiana's win ran counter to all the preseason indicators of a national champion. It still helps to recruit a bunch of four and five stars. It still helps to be ranked in the Top 10 preseason. It still helps to have done it before. These are all advantages. But the lack of them is not prohibitive

Just because I keep up with UK politics, a couple of notes. The reason was an ICJ opinion that the Chagos Island belonged to Mauritius. And the UK and US secured their basing rights in the agreement

First day of college football season, 2025-26: Lee Corso retires Last day of college football season, 2025-26: Indiana wins the national championship

college football is just so much better when the "traditional powerhouses" are watching from home

Never been happier for a National Championship that wasn’t my team. So incredibly cool.

Move over, 1894 Yale

Blue chip rati(mumblemumblemumble)

Indiana is going to win a national championship by torching all the preseason "only these teams are truly in it" lists. Let them burn.

Michael Irvin's heart rate can probably be detected on the Richter scale right now

Not crazy about the call there. Miami was ready for it, and now they just need a quick two-minute drive

Curt Cignetti pulls out his "19-play, 64-yard drive" card

No blood, no pass interference

Went from #CFPFilmRoom to the main broadcast to start the second half. Lasted maybe six minutes of gametime. Back to Film Room

CLANG

I now want to live until 2111 to see what the College Football Playoff logo looks like. Also to be 131 before I die, but mostly for the logo

Pop pass. Then you run it if that doesn't work

FOUR MORE HOURS AND WE NEVER HAVE TO HEAR THE CHEEZ-IT COMMERCIAL AGAIN UNTIL AUGUST

No. 1 got crushed

He's going to run out and tackle a receiver at some point

Film Room is decent so far. A little too much like four color analysts talking about the game, but it's early yet

"It's gonna be a heavyweight fight." You must be new here. It will be 34-10 at halftime. Could be either team leading, but that's how these things go

If Little Debbies doesn't have made product placement here, what are we even doing?

Don't be too mean to Hard Rock Stadium. It's a hard life as the Alamodome's red-headed stepchild

Isn't a 60-40 split for the opponent unusually friendly for Miami at home?
