I write Extra Points, a newsletter about off-the-field stories in college sports. I also (badly) make computer games, woodworking projects, and jokes.

I don’t think THAT much about my dad, but one of the things that sucks about losing your parents in early adulthood is that you some get that chance to have a different relationship with them as you age.
I wish I could tell him he was right about The Band and HS me was wrong. Levon DOES kick ass

I have no idea! Every time it’s come up over the last decade I mentally said “that’s none of my business” and moved along. And now I guess somebody involved is the new AD at Monroe?
Whatever happened with that court case?

Wait that doesn’t sound like Vox
yeah it’s bad that Lizza has been sitting on this for so long but also how cursory and inept was that Vox investigation that not only managed to miss the biggest scandal in the history of American political journalism but affirmatively exonerated her bsky.app/profile/bkel...
So the editor of New York Magazine said there was no bias or ethical problems with Olivia's articles?
Does he still think that?
They should retract all of her stories

He's right, but I don't think this is just because of a flood of ex-athletes wanting to get into the DEBATE ME YOU COWARD content mines. Readers SAY they want investigative work, or at least "new shit", but their actions don't always back that up.
Its why ESPN turns the Cowboys dial to 11

Told you guys that Wisconsin was trending towards a re-up with UA. Under Armour still wants to be a player in college athletics.
Under Armour has generally been shedding deals so a notable 10 year extension with Wisconsin, which includes an NIL component like other recent deals.

People, including Nick Saban, say Jordan-Hare Stadium is haunted
So, of course, I called experts, spent hours in the Auburn library researching past land use, bought ghost-hunting gear, used the ghost-hunting gear and tried to find out the truth
