Guess I need to put my gorgeous @homefield.bsky.social @bigskyconf.bsky.social tee on for El Gran Juego. Duly noted.
The Big Sky is one of the most represented conferences in this year’s Super Bowl, having the fourth highest total in all of college football 👀

I vaguely remember having a Squares pool for the Bud Bowl in middle school
Children today will never know the thrill of the Bud Bowl. I swear there were years I cared about the outcome more than that of the actual Super Bowl.

When they mentioned the former Steelers QB on NFL Network coverage just now my wife comes in the room:
“Rape-lisberger … there’s a name I haven’t heard in awhile.”
She’s not much of a 🏈 fan at all … but I’m glad she’s remembered the important stuff about it over the years. God I love her. 😍

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

One top thing every rich person who doesn’t suck should do is help create an endowment for a local non profit newsroom
Before The Washington Post layoffs came down, a group of wealthy D.C. locals approached CEO Will Lewis with a proposal.

People are going to have to drag the democrats to the right place on immigration and ICE just like they had to drag them to the right place on opposing the Iraq war and impeaching Trump. It’s fucking exhausting to have a party that refuses to do the right thing right away,

UPDATE: I was able to reach @robertearlkeen1.bsky.social's folks. And thankfully, Robert granted us permission to use the song in question.
It will be featured in tomorrow's episode — which is one of the most important shows we've done. Hope you can watch/listen.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Incredible. They destroyed a great newspaper because they hated the people who actually paid for it and read it so much that they'd rather scrap the paper if they couldn't get Tucker Carlson's audience bsky.app/profile/maxt...
Speaking to WaPo employees, editor Matt Murray says cuts are about “positioning ourselves to become more essential to people's lives, and what is becoming a more crowded, competitive and complicated media landscape, and after some years when, candidly, the Post has had struggles to do that."
