On a lighter note: only in football 🏈 submissions

Yes, I’m beating a dead segment

In other news, have you ever thought of doing a press box themed connections-type game? It would be a blast, throw in journalism, sports, wrestling, news…
Could be fun!

That sports media™️ writ large “sucks right now”? I disagree, then again I didn’t grow up in an area with sports talk radio. In a related story when are you going to invite Traina on as a non-sports guest? A dreaded 3-man booth/pod with Jimmy would be a must listen.

A general news magazine like Newsweek (Zombie tier?) out of college. I should have known my dreams were doomed when my college magazine class was the first one in the school’s history not to publish.
Anyway, sorry for rambling in public and keep up the great work!

Also, Bryan your “Conde Nast Concorde” moment involved my hometown (proud graduate of Moorhead High and State University, across the Red River from Fargo) was such a treat. You two have the career paths I dreamed about. Not that I regret my 17 years in local TV news, but my goal was to write for +

More often than Mad, which I also read. I also had a subscription to the Sporting News. It was a tabloid when I subscribed.
Bryan - you had me at Brills Content though. I subscribed for the entire run. It’s probably why I’m such a media nerd to this day despite being out of the game for 8+ years +

The opening rant was vintage Gleeman! I’m still on the fence about getting a Twins.tv sub this season. It would be nice if someone with a national megaphone like @ourand.bsky.social would dig into MLB.TVS opening day technical woes. Obviously ad sales are slumping per the pod.

Also, if you’re still taking submissions for only in sports journalism words/phrases:
Control your own destiny
(Overused this time of year)
Rubber match (which I believe comes from bridge)
Stanza (a music term but can be a stand in for quarter, period, or inning).
Enjoy!
