I used to think about football analytics.
The Bills don't look like a contender. This is college football defense.

Ref assists Michigan by denying a first down on a marginal holding call. College football has been awful this season outside of Indiana's last minute win last week.

Foundation. Read it when I was 13 and I didn't even know you could write things like that.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

this is not "everyone is twelve" theory. this is the slightly rarer but typically much more consequential "no one knows what lawyers do" theory

Good riddance to Nico Harrison, the personification of everything that’s going on. Blew up something good because he didn’t understand it and it didn’t conform to his vision of toughness. One of the clearest pictures of Everyone Is 12 Now ever produced. Untold damage to my psyche. Enjoy podcasting.

Breaking news per Jeff Passan: “Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been indicted by prosecutors in Brooklyn on a host of charges related to a scheme to rig bets on pitches thrown in MLB games. Ortiz was arrested in Boston earlier today. Clase is not currently in custody”

Well Toronto I guess we'll always have the Bills (he says irresponsibly at half time).
November 2, 2025 at 10:51 PM
I honestly would have preferred the Dodgers bats coming alive and Shohei pitching a gem, a solid 8-3 loss or something than that marginal bullshit.
On the verge of the most valid crash out in professional sports history.

Torontonians don't riot because we understand that through sports that this world is a black meaningless void.
Kinda weird that Toronto didn’t riot after blowing it in game 7, I thought that’s what all Canadians were like

I don't think I can watch baseball ever again.
