Well at least MY team isn’t the only stupid one

Finally, someone pubbed the story of Dan Snyder putting his cigar out on Vinny Cerrato. www.facebook.com/share/p/14Tb...

Yeah McCarthy is gone. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

one of my favorite things about the winter olympics is when a skier or snowboarder blows my mind with athletic feats of daring that would literally kill regular folks. and then they remove their mask and are ALSO the Most Beautiful Person Alive

My daughter turns 20 today. Congrats to her on making it through teenagerdom without us killing her

Virginia State Senator Louise Lucas is just a delight on every level

George RR Martin characters are all, “hand me the sauce of soy!”

"It was f—king gross. All of it. These people are gross, and they deserve none of the shine they spend all day basking in. They deserve tribunals, and soon." Good news, we got @drewmagary.bsky.social to review the 'Melania' movie: www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

bomani was dead accurate when he said giannis is turning into dwight howard (universally liked and soon to be universally reviled)

my cousin sent this to me & I didn't look at who wrote it but when I got to the "That you sound like Derek Zoolander if Derek Zoolander was a real person?" part, somehow I knew who wrote it without looking "That fucking Drew Magary, isn't it?" This is gold @drewmagary.bsky.social; fucking bravo.

What a fucking idiot

One last time, my roast of “Melania,” a documentation of utter waste. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Been a long week, so I can’t even begin to tell you how jacked I am for the Super Bowl. Let’s fucking get after it. defector.com/people-of-am...

NEW: Lawyers for a man convicted of assaulting Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, seek the investigative file on her killing and his training records, arguing they may provide mitigating factors in sentencing or reason for a new trial. @dell.bsky.social has the details:

Luxembourg is a very small country but *slaps hood* you can fit so many microstates in this bad boy

this week, lauren and maitreyi have been recirculating old dan bits from our daily newsletter. they are great; you can read them here: defector.beehiiv.com/p/the-cipher...

Everyone in the White House involved in any way with that vile, sickening racist Trump post must be fired immediately: everyone in the communications department, everyone in the press office, every deputy chief of staff, everyone involved up and down the line. Not one more tax dollar for this filth.

It's the legal successor state of the Holy Roman Empire and, if I were Lichtenstein, I would play that angle up.

One of the EA NHL games had Kazakhstan as a playable national team. They had a goalie named Tursumbayev. And listening to the play by play guy on the game (the great Jim Hughson) say that name was worth whatever I paid for the game that year.

the most eurovision opening in a while; REALLY good work, italy

Also this Opening Ceremony is tight. Finally there’s some shit to watch on tv

Foodwise the Super Bowl starts right now

I realize you've all already read 1,826,362 Melania reviews (including mine, perhaps) but it is always worth reading @drewmagary.bsky.social on pretty much anything and this is great. I also will not be able to unsee the fact that "[Trump] stands in italics."

“Look at them pretend everything is wonderful. Look at them laugh while the world they run burns. And look at Melania Trump, always in the center of the frame, pretending she’s at a cool remove from all of it. It was fucking gross.” www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

"It has no journalistic value and even less entertainment value."

The latest episode of "The Distraction" podcast from @defector.com is dedicated to Dan McQuade. I found this conversation between @drewmagary.bsky.social and @davidjroth.bsky.social to be such a moving and deeply human rumination on remembering someone who was so alive. defector.com/the-last-may...

Here’s my review of Melania. It is bad. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

“A newspaper can take down a president—and has, in fact. (Of course, that requires guts from its owner. But you have guts, don’t you?)” - @petridishes.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

SUPERBOWLOROO! As always, chili recipe included. defector.com/people-of-am...

cannot believe Mark Henry is ok with murdering Donner and Blitzen to keep up with Frank Thomas and Doug Flutie

Love you, Dan defector.com/what-we-love...

I don’t think anything will come of it but I DO think the Vikings will call about Penix

This is really good.

I wrote about the Shedeur Sanders Show at Pro Bowl media day. Confirmed that this is the first lead image that I’m actually in for a story I’ve done. www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

This week’s Distraction is a tribute to the late @dhm.bsky.social art19.com/shows/the-di...

Our status has regretfully shifted to "it's complicated." The Athletic will not be bringing The Roundtable back, and we are asking for permission to yammer about baseball somewhere else. The three of us still want to do it, but ... well, it's complicated.

Super Bowl week, which means I'm re-sharing a piece I wrote last year after reading the NFL's outrageous 154-page "bid book" on what cities need to provide to the NFL in order to host the Super Bowl. I ask: Do Cities Really Benefit From Hosting the Super Bowl? www.wideleft.football/p/do-cities-...

I loved shouting HAM! At the tv too!

CJ Ham was awesome
