Tony Romo is a horrible color guy and will never get better.

I wonder what a game would look like if the refs didn’t call breathing on Patrick Mahomes a penalty?

One thing I miss about working in a newsroom: Being in the same place to share jokes and stories with my colleagues face-to-face because I think I'd really like a lot of them in person.

One thing I don't miss: Working face-to-face with some of them because I'm pretty sure I'd think some are twats.

Wait, hold up: Someone in Hollywood greenlit a Christmas movie with a $250 million budget? Someone thought that was a good idea and would make money just because of the Rock? Really?

Another barn burner. Glad Buffalo came out on top today. Hopefully we get to see these teams play again for the AFC title in January. Go Bills.

Well, found WeRateDogs over here so don’t know if I’ll need to add anyone else at this point to be honest.
This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time. So excited to have a human of his own. Thinking about what he's going to call you. Maybe Bob. 12/10

The only thing either fighter got out of that match was a big paycheck. Tyson comes out looking as old as we were afraid he would, and Paul still has no wins against legit boxers of this era. And Netflix now has NFL and WWE fans scared they can’t stream anything without massive buffering.

Absolutely love this story.
Just an absolutely amazing video from my brother that made me cry about what can be.

“Yeah, always.”

Know what I haven’t done over here yet? Talked about how awesome John Williams is!

I know he’s got a ton of awards, but the legend deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom too. Sign my petition if you agree. Just trying to get him his due. #StarWars #composer #harrypotter chng.it/kymzpYCM

Spending more time over here than on the Evil App. Had done a good job curating my feed for the most part, but lots of folks I like are moving over here.

Oklahoma just isn’t playing as physically tough as they did against Texas. They’re getting shoved around in the line, not holding into blocks. Whether it’s their play or UCF, that’s I’m gonna cost them the game.
