@thepressbox.bsky.social this is a great primer for only in world football / soccer media dispute words www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

@thepressbox.bsky.social Strained geography pun?

@minakimes.bsky.social Thought you might appreciate this if you didn't see it yesterday

@thepressbox.bsky.social The Economist had two good #StrainedPuns recently

@thisdaypod.com how about a stroll down amnesia lane! Saw these on a food court wall and was reminded of your great episode. ❤️

@edsbs.bsky.social do you do GIF predictions anymore? Who you got for Texas A & M vs Auburn?

@thepressbox.bsky.social #StrainedPun (sub) headline

@thepressbox.bsky.social listened to you and Traina talk about ESPN / NFL Network situation and I was wondering your thoughts on how they handle the insiders? Do they keep Rapoport & Schefter in same roles?

@joelanderson.bsky.social as an Auburn guy your coloring books in libraries is still "too soon" from the Steve Spurrier dig! 😁😁

@joelanderson.bsky.social does Bill Romanowski fit the Beasley club criteria?

With @vanlathan.bsky.social running "the face of the ringer" contest, @bryancurtis.bsky.social @davidshoemaker.bsky.social @joelanderson.bsky.social @howardbeck.bsky.social @zachlowenba.bsky.social who would win best three word pod intro? "What up Beck?" Or "hello media consumers"?

@thepressbox.bsky.social how is this for an only in journalism three consecutive paragraphs? Bathos, ventriloquise, mycologist, assonance,neologism, esoteric, anthimeria, and sublime. DANG!

@thepressbox.bsky.social an oldie but...

@thepressbox.bsky.social there will be a massive impact when NBA on TNT leaves TNT! My dog won't know it is Friday morning without Charmed being on when TV turns on because TNT was on for NBA Thursday night.

@brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social what is your solution for CFB HOF understanding special situations like Leach and Schellenberger yet not just lowering the win percentage in a way that makes it Hall of Very Good where friends of the committee and small p political selections are made?

@thepressbox.bsky.social your coworker @dkthomp.bsky.social used the most perfect "Only in Journalism" word today on his pod... "sinusoidal" CHEF'S KISS Let alone a word like that on a pod about romance. Just delicious!

@thepressbox.bsky.social with Jamie Vardy retiring from Leicester, it is a good time to pay homage to a feud that launched a thousand strained puns

@joelanderson.bsky.social to your point on @thepressbox.bsky.social about college football coaches being single versus being married. That Sark was single when he left Washington Huskies' job was big part of his time at UW stories. At the time, less than 10% of power 5 head coaches were single.

@thepressbox.bsky.social @joelanderson.bsky.social tell me you all weren't a little sad when you heard MJ was going to NBC and not ESPN where he would have been teammates with Barkley.

@thepressbox.bsky.social what a 24 hours for Press Box bits! Post headline that is perfectly strained, Nico Harrison having a great day when Lakers crashed, and Jax Ulbrich as America's Softest Target as you noted yesterday! LONG LIVE THE PRESS BOX!

@thepressbox.bsky.social if @zachlowenba.bsky.social uses the three mosted waited for words in niche NBA podcasting "what up Beck?!?" When introducing @howardbeck.bsky.social does that make "Davvvviiiddd?" "Yessss" the 2 most waited on words in niche media podcasting?

@bryancurtis.bsky.social @joelanderson.bsky.social Not a media worker, but to me, 2 situations that makes a lot of sense to screenshot without providing a link is attention trolls & folks that shouldn't be platformed.

@thepressbox.bsky.social this strained enough?

@jodyavirgan.com case for Graceland being a spring album if Florida Gator pep band plays over and over at Final Four? 🤣🤣

@sheaserrano.bsky.social Spurs jersey seen in the wild at Alamodome

@kcarterjackson.bsky.social @jodyavirgan.com @pastpunditry.bsky.social After listening to last This Day pod I thought you might like to hear the Schoolhouse Rock song that still impacts my life today. Don't drown your food: in ketchup, mayonnaise, or goo! youtu.be/fIyPm0Z06KE?...

@thepressbox.bsky.social Ben Simmons a candidate for "America's Softest Target"?

@richarddeitsch.bsky.social should an announcer be allowed to call another game if they note that the ball clearly went off the offense, but "that is a good review, they have time." Can there be a good review that is unnecessary? Has to be fireable!

@thepressbox.bsky.social Economist pod after Mark Carney won the Liberal party leadership vote. Didn't end there. After audio clip of Carney standing up for Canada, including highlighting the recent Canada win over the US the host noted Carney wasn't pucking around."

Was worried about @bryancurtis.bsky.social's health when he was tasked with reliving trauma for the 100 greatest moments, esp while co-host @joelanderson.bsky.social got tasked with uplifting stories. Then I was relieved when he got to relive Vince Young heroics!

Listening to @thepressbox.bsky.social with headphones on and do quite a chuckle when @joelanderson.bsky.social says, "Look at you, you became the GM of St Bonaventure" @bryancurtis.bsky.social after Bryan's great story seeking out Mel Kiper's draft guide. Wife says, "what are you listening to?"

@jodyavirgan.com @jacobfeldman.bsky.social an idea for a future #ThusDayInEsotericPoliticalHistory ... after listening today and hearing about the failed impact of the report by the future Brookings institute, how about a show about the first (any?) similar type of report that made difference. 🫣

@thepressbox.bsky.social during your interview with Nick Wright were you left wondering if he was already setting up to pass The Chuckster's record for announcing retirement intentions the way I was? Sure is getting a start at a young age.

@thepressbox.bsky.social when did Bryan spend time breaking NBA stories?

@ppfideas.bsky.social some of the recent episodes have me remembering a debate some of my friends have had... should the war Americans call the Revolutionary War more appropriately called a Civil War?

@thepressbox.bsky.social @joelanderson.bsky.social do we have to worry about Joel working w Bryan and his ego after all the praise (warranted) Bryan got from Chris Berman about Bryan's questions? I think I passed out drunk after the 15th "good question"/"great question" Seriously, great show

@brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social there has been a lot of frustration by coaches and ADs about timing and if players enter the portal. Do you hear off the record any of them speak on the irony with all of the coaching changes happening thought all parts of the calendar (including in season)?

@jaysonst.bsky.social Mariners 51, who wore it best? Big Unit or Ichiro?

@joelanderson.bsky.social Enjoyed interview w/ Davis Got my thinking the CFP was architectured during a time with 5 power conferences. How different would conversations be around CFP without the disintegration?

@thepressbox.bsky.social J.A. with a great "only in sports broadcasting" example for next week's show

@thepressbox.bsky.social not a headline but a wonderfully fabulous strained pun!

@thepressbox.bsky.social new candidate for America's Softest Target (sports category) - Brian Kelly. Wow he's taking the hits!

@brucefeldmancfb.bsky.social did Josh Allen give up on his teammates? Will it hurt his free agency market ? I swear I heard after the Pop Tarts bowl a QB starting but not finishing would have consequences. 🤣

@thepressbox.bsky.social @bryancurtis.bsky.social @joelanderson.bsky.social if ESPN hasn't fired Orlovsky over his horrific food takes, should he have been on your ESPN immunity list? Hmmm

@thepressbox.bsky.social media piss test found in the Economist business section

@jodyavirgan.com was Jimmy Carter the GOAT for best human being who was president or just Mount Rushmore?

@thepressbox.bsky.social some less known/used words Nth Daft Dearth Nadir Mirth Bereft Indolent (less short but not used often and if used often incorrectly when meaning insolent) Insolent

@howardbeck.bsky.social have you figured out a way to use Bluesky during games/Game days so you can follow along without losing content or having to scroll through things already seen?

@thepressbox.bsky.social not sure if pod titles count for strained puns, but it so, this seems a good one
