My favorite detail of the Falcons' "66" uniforms – the team added the two tiny gold stripes to the helmet because Georgia Tech fans were pissed off how much the new NFL franchise was pandering to UGA.

Nashville Banner @nashvillebanner.bsky.social · 1d

With a new stadium on the way and Mike Vrabel arriving this weekend, the Tennessee Titans decided they have seen enough of Brian Callahan.

The Tennessee Titans fired head coach Brian Callahan six games into his second season, a little more than a year before they move into a new Nissan Stadium.

Goddamn, this @rodger.bsky.social article kicks so much ass

A breakdown of UAB's Trent Dilfer Debacle (Dilfsaster?)

This is the story of a program which had a lot to be proud of, but decided its own remarkable revival was less interesting than ESPN's 248th-most likable personality.

Just a quick reminder that Politico is owned by LITERAL OG nazis.

Anthony L. Fisher @anthonylfisher.bsky.social · 3d

Politico is recommending a column by a guy who literally blogged for Richard Spencer's original alt-right site--but who has since been rehabilitated as a very serious political commentator--on why we need to bring back "internet gatekeepers."
