IHOP. A D-minus experience saved only by Dez judging their scrambled eggs to be “delicious.”

This some raggedy ass broccoli, right?

i really wish it did. I've been trying to be loud about this stuff for years, in hopes that it would. but, without being too broad, i think elite athletes are so far removed from the kind of people who'd say, "you might consider somewhere else" that they barely even consider it.

ha, nah. www.buzzfeed.com/joelanderson...

I can’t wait until the fall. LOLonghorns.

lol i can't believe this got aggregated. but yeah, they shut down the Buzzfeed Sports right after the 2014 Winter Olympics. I was sitting at my airport gate at LaGuardia, waiting for my flight to Oregon to do a story on Craig Robinson—President Obama's brother in law—when i got the call.

In 2024, when Scott MacFarlane worked for CBS News, he covered Donald Trump's rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. @joelanderson.bsky.social and I asked him what he remembered about that day. Full interview: open.spotify.com/episode/7ytY...

I’m about to poison some black community but it’s because I’m about to ChatGPT what to do to salvage an almost too old old banana

I’m a c-tier Ringer podcast host.

Never a bad time to watch My Cousin Vinny. Its rewatchability is top tier.

We need to talk a bit about how utterly absurd the March heatwave was in the USA. This heatwave would have been impossible without a boost from climate change, but even with climate change it remains a deeply unlikely event. A thread looking at some of the numbers. 🧵

New PRESS BOX w/ @joelanderson.bsky.social and Mel Kiper, Jr. We got into everything from Mel’s ESPN debut at age 23 to Mel Kiper, Sr. Plus, this week’s headlines. open.spotify.com/episode/1EQj...

Unfortunately finding out that that was probably more than 10mg

This is what i'm talking about. Sometimes players need a change of scenery, a change of approach, to fully tap into their potential, or hell, to fully embrace the experience. Not all coaches and programs are made equal as a lot of us already know lol.

Michigan did warm-ups to Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield all tournament and turns out that was the secret weapon in the end www.instagram.com/reels/DWH9Gw...

Michigan was a powerhouse and a worthy champion and I hope folks get around to appreciating the opportunities the transfer portal can create even if a team doesn’t win a national championship.

My family is from Pune Bluff, Arkansas, which has actually been voted the worst and most miserable city in the U.S. depending on who took the like survey. But all that said: Youngstown, Ohio, was pretty rough once you got off campus.

Jay Bilas spitting that real

Might be an insurmountable lead for this game

They’re playing “On Bended Knee” in the lunch spot and I got here a few minutes before my homie and grabbed a table and accidentally found myself audibly singing between two tables of customers. I will say, nobody seemed to mind.

In this week's @thepressbox.bsky.social, I ran point and let Tate get up some shots to prepare everyone for the upcoming Final Four weekend. We also talk about Danny "Hothead" Hurley, the state of CBB media, & what UNC needs to do to remain a blueblood. Tap in! 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/4AUt...

At the playground with babygirl and see young dudes playing 5 on 5 at the nearby court. I almost want to go over and tell them, “appreciate all of this because it goes by fast” like a geezer weirdo who just wants to impart some life wisdom.

This boy asleep on my whole left arm. How the hell am I supposed to get out of this?

Our MARCH ISSUE is live: Me and @joelanderson.bsky.social on James Talarico and the Democrats' quest to win in Texas. With contributions from @gregcasar.bsky.social and @adamwren.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/4AUt...

"A system can tell you where a man is ... but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for." If you want to feel worse about the war ahead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

The most inciting, but in retrospect funniest, argument I ever had with my oldest homeboy E was him calling me "white" for saying En Vogue was collectively more attractive than TLC lol.

That's right a Crystal Gayle reference lol. It's our March issue of @thepressbox.bsky.social, where @bryancurtis.bsky.social and I talk about how the state we grew up in has become the reddest of red states in the country and if the blues have a shot at changing that open.spotify.com/episode/4AUt...

The legal chicanery inspired by racism in that state is incredible. Shutting down schools. Creating new cities. Now this. Not many do it like Georgia.

DOG

Laying down in bed with my son before we start the arduous process of getting ready for the day, and he starts frantically looking around in the bed and on my left side. “Son, what’s going on?” “I can’t find my boogie.” 🤢

Was driving home and had this great idea for a story and told myself, “better text this to myself because I’ll forget it” but of course I kept on driving and now I can’t remember it smh

See my cousin married someone who even I can’t stand - and I can get along with almost anyone for a dinner - and it has totally disrupted our family. My uncle and aunt have banned him from their house and vice versa. It’s just a weird dynamic i never thought much about til I had my own kids lol

Was out for breakfast with my son when another brother sat across from us with his daughter, who was maybe a year or so older. As Dez stared at her, I thought about how someday I might have to spend the rest of my life hanging out w/a random adult to see Dez because he thought someone was cute smh

Sincerely appreciate Kawhi taking his health in his own hands, load managing in spite of the criticism, and managing to produce at a star level in his 14th season at the age of 34.

Bruh they hooping hooping

NEW @thepressbox.bsky.social: The Jay-Z interview in @gqmagazine.bsky.social. Is podcasting rotting sportswriter's brains? via @kendallbaker.bsky.social. SAS vs. Whitlock. McAfee vs. Orlovsky on Fernando vs Ty. And @bryancurtis.bsky.social' fave Hov album. 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/0v1d...

one of the things i miss most about living in the city is the metro. i wish everyone who lived in america could have one that's easily accessible.

it shouldn't be fun to ponder the end of the world but hey what else are we supposed to do? appreciate @netw3rk.bsky.social and @tylerparker.bsky.social for letting me hang out and indulge my inner doomer.

We talked about a lot more than tussling in this episode of Ringer Tailgate. Marcus Lattimore stopped thru to talk about finding freedom, JaDaveon Clowney & Steve Spurrier, and his writing influences. 💻: youtube.com/watch?v=m_dd... 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/2CcT...

Fat Count from Refugio retired me from tussling circa the fall of 1997 but I truly can’t believe my @theringer.com.web.brid.gy Tailgate co-hosts never got tangled up at least a couple times in college. That’s actually weirder to me.

i don't need to beat prime leroy burrell. just billy. i'll be ready.

i'm glad that folks are gradually realizing that @righttimebomani.bsky.social and them were NOT showing love and were actually hating themselves!

i'm down for whatever. it can be in LA, Miami, or the moon. i'm gonna start getting ready.

i'm glad someone else sees it. i'm just defending myself and my honor smh
