Steve Palazzolo & Sam Monson have just used the draft grades round-up to kick off today’s livestream. The two are discussing the AFC & NFC East teams on Check The Mic today. They’re live on YouTube right now (and the show will be available as a podcast later). @sammonson.bsky.social Thanks, Sam! 🔥

It's interesting to me the Jags reaching as big as they did at almost every pick given James Gladstone's approach of trying to remove all bias from the process, focus on data, etc.

My favorite video of the year. 41 analysts' favorite draft prospect! youtu.be/KUCpFzapClI Featuring @minakimes.bsky.social @dannyheifetz.bsky.social among many others!

Greg Cosell into Brandon Perna is a pure examination into the word "juxtaposition". Love this so much.

I highly recommend you check out the whole show - great insight in how #PFF revolutionized some of the ways people saw the game & become a valuable resource, the guys reflecting on their snarky attitude in the early days, but its downfall due to corporate greed & shortsightedness! 🪦

Well this wasn’t the podcast I was expecting today. Steve Palazzolo, Mike Renner and particularly @sammonson.bsky.social did not spare the details on the demise of @profootballfocus.bsky.social. As a PFF fan since the mid-2010s this was weirdly cathartic. www.youtube.com/live/EHZBH3E...

About halfway through listening to this. It is funny how much this just mirrors any kind of story of a business that becomes successful. You could take this entire conversation & just substitute the company name & it all still tracks.

Lot of conflicting emotions seeing the sale of PFF. Proud of what we built and sad to see it go this way.

This is such a stupid take, I don't believe he's that ignorant of history. People just invent whatever facts they believe to be convenient to the argument they want to make. You won't be challenged on it by the person you're talking to. And subsequent people you can motte and bailey fallacy them.

Am I correct in thinking that anyone texting me from a VOIP is basically untraceable? Thx!

Tommy Tuberville is genuinely one of the dumbest motherfuckers walking the earth.

It says something pretty significant about the American psyche that 1. most sports present the owner with the winning trophy, not the players that just won it. 2. a big chunk of people think that makes perfect sense, cos he's the rich guy that bankrolled it.

I see we're doing it all over again today.

Weird to come out of a playoff game feeling really bad for both winner and loser.

I've had this thing on the bracelet, but it's definitely cooler with the black strap Venezianico have some awesome watches. #WristCheck

Been thinking about this for a little while. Even with all the current context, I'm still genuinely shocked how many people are trying to argue a different truth than what we can all see from very clear video of the incident. It's genuinely Orwellian. Straight out of 1984.

#WristCheck Been into neo vintage stuff lately. Love this Tag with a quartz dial!

Anyone watching Pluribus? I like like the premise, only a couple of eps in so far and it seems solid

This is elder abuse

Fake Andy Reid looks more like Andy Reid than real Andy Reid these days.

I'll take that

Cheers to another year, fellas. Thanks for being the best in the business, not to mention keeping me sane on my commute @sammonson.bsky.social

@sammonson.bsky.social @stevepalazzolo.bsky.social @minakimes.bsky.social @tampabaytre.bsky.social @connorjrogers.bsky.social another year another addict

Find a more miserable existence than this. Aside from anything else, I'm not at all convinced that this lifelong dedication to health and eternal life is doing anything. He's 48 years old, and he looks EXACTLY like a 48-year old man trying to claim that his biological age is actually 24.

The great Mina Kimes (@minakimes.bsky.social) came on the show to help make sense of the confusing teams this season. Also talked Darnold, and some cool Xs and Os trends. youtu.be/Rvpc2gBGeNA?...

Didn't expect to, but I'm enjoying the new Robin Hood series

I love that something like Grantland was attempted, and hate that it failed. It's such a shame how hard it is for something like that in a world of Stephen A. Smithification of the current media landscape.

Brian Daboll leaving the Giants facility for good:

The way some people drive, they really deserve to have accidents. 29 degrees out, snow on the ground, and your dumbass monster truck is 10 feet from someone's bumper doing 80mph.
