😭😭😭

All-time iconic week for fell-for-it-again legends James Harden and Justin Herbert

Many, many thanks to @sheilkapadia.bsky.social‬⁩ for joining the show and helping @dennycarter.bsky.social and I close out our week on radio row. Sheil shares his thoughts on the game as well as the finally-completed head coaching cycle

Coming out of the radio row news vortex. Let's check in on the "real" news

Drumpf economy

Also @rotopat.bsky.social bought me dinner in exchange for me telling him the Cardinals did well in the Donovan trade.

It was a good week here on radio row with @rotopat.bsky.social. Thankfully we accurately predicted everything that will unfold in Sunday’s Super Bowl.

Essential road diet: Coffee, beer, eggs, red meat even though you never eat it at home. For water, only wait until you're so thirsty somehow your only option is to buy overpriced bottled water

Me seeing the time on my hotel room clock: Grok, is this true?

“We signed up for concussions” was probably not on the NFL’s list of Super Bowl week talking points.

Mike Pence, if you're listening, Nico Harrison needs your help

Check out Drew Dinsick and @lateroundqb.bsky.social (!!!) on the latest episode of the Rotoworld Football Show. Awesome people, awesome guests with great knowledge on Super Bowl LX and beyond

It is neither paranoia nor populism to say billionaires now dominate the American information environment to an unprecedented degree. Even William Randolph Hearst, who was at least actually a newsman, had more competition. I have nothing useful to say other than this imperils us all

Grinding on the Rotoworld set with @rotopat.bsky.social and @lateroundqb.bsky.social

#Super Bowl #LX

Getting ready for the McVay/Shanny knife fight and all you can find are your LaFleur nunchucks

New York City might get Greg Roman AND Brian Callahan as offensive coordinators? Dude, save some for the rest of us!

The new woke Southwest boarding process takes approximately 10x longer

My fandom summed up:

What if we were a totally different franchise?

Lol

Spencer Cox is routinely praised as "one of the normal ones"

Before everyone rushes to judgment, let me just say: I'm sure at least a few NFL owners aren't in the Epstein Files. Maybe as many as 3-4

Trump DOJ somehow threading the needle of having both the best ever and worst ever coverup with the Epstein Files

I put Kwesi on "power struggle watch" last spring and welp

Welp. Turns out this was barely even parody lol

Spent all week trying to decide which friend group to see "Melania" with. Finally decided this morning and now every showing is sold out through Tuesday 🤦

Tulsi Gabbard opening a box of 2020 Fulton County ballots and it's just full of white slips of paper saying POLIAN WAS HERE and a video of Bill Polian as the Heath Ledger Joker

Nodding at this in 2015

Billions of dollars in investment so we can play Temu Breath of the Wild

The Patriots bringing Bill Polian out at their Super Bowl send-off rally and having him make an "oops" gesture as he drops a match into a box labeled HALL-OF-FAME BALLOTS

Tesla is discontinuing its only two good cars. Interesting. Looking into it

All the focus is always on democrats ... Brian Kemp is the chief executive of the state of Georgia. Maybe he should say something about a ludicrous, authoritarian federal incursion into his state's voting infrastructure

Nick Sirianni rocketing to the top of the 2027 retread coaching class

Can't say I realized the 6-11 Chiefs had a better point differential than the 11-6 Chargers

Baker Mayfield before his Week 12 shoulder injury: 63.5 completion percentage, 7.00 YPA, 17:3 TD:INT ratio, 20 sacks in 10 starts. Not elite, not disastrous Post-shoulder injury: 62.6, 6.5 YPA, 9:8 TD:INT, 16 sacks in seven starts

The Bucs started 5-1 with wins over the Texans, Seahawks and 49ers

Had to delete a (joke) post about the Patriots renting out a theater to screen "Melania" because it was evidently too plausible 😭

I always tell people ... however opaque, arcane and nonsensical you think the baseball Hall-of-Fame voting process is, times it by 10 for the pro football Hall-of-Fame voting process

Theory: The coaching carousel has finally swung back to old guy retreads because all the young guys are now using AI to "prepare" for their interviews

Joe Brady's career is somehow underrated for its Kliffmaxxing

Bill Polian had the perfect "don't vote for Bill Belichick" plan until one of his co-conspirators forgot to pull up his mask and was identified from Qdoba surveillance footage

Bill Polian testifying before a senate sub-committee

On a #new pod we talked about Joe "Little Finger From Game Of Thrones" Brady somehow sneaking his way into the Bills' head coaching job, the Steelers going off brand with hiring Mike McCarthy, and @rotopat.bsky.social becoming a certified blower of snow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zSi...

DMITRY SHAKALOVICH MINISTER OF MINES SVERDLOSK OBLAST

The Jets, who did not fire their head coach, now up to eight fired assistants following Aaron Glenn's first season

Truly no one: Brandon Beane: It's Brandon Beane time
