Me, most other nights: I get why Canada’s booing the US anthem before games, I really do Me, before tonight’s Four Nations Title Game: If I hear someone boo I’m sending them to the Newfoundland wilderness where they’ll never be found

Two hours into the SNL 50 Special and I can’t stop thinking “Why the hell hasn’t anyone offered Sabrina Carpenter a Billion Dollars to do a romcom”

Bears have the 10th, 39th, and 41st picks this year and I’d give them all up for Garrett but I have a feeling that it wouldn’t be enough

Here’s a fun exercise: Name three active Chicago Bulls

Top 5, not in any particular order: -Hester runs back the SB kickoff -Landon Donovan’s goal vs. Algeria -Griffey Sr. And Griffey Jr. back-to-back jacks -Kick Six -US swimming upsets France in the medley relay in Beijing

That’s my old high school principal! Let’s Go!!!

I think I’m gonna go Paramore 2023, if you ever get the chance to see Haley Williams live *take it*

I’m seeing a lot of people do this so I’ll join in on the fun

You deserve to doink a fg if you kick it in that situation

All the time my dad will say “I saw on FB that Cignetti’s leaving IU” or “The Bears are gonna trade Caleb Williams” (to which I have to explain that people write that stuff to bait folks) and while day-to-day sports news isn’t the biggest issue of AI slop, I am concerned how much worse this’ll get

This is so disappointing on a humane and ethical standpoint. From those looking to learn and better themselves (and to debunk the hysteria), may I suggest @pablo.show‘s phenomenal reporting on the area from the past few years (these episodes below are available on your podcast apps and YouTube)

Tired: IU belonged in the CFP Wired: IU belonged in Wild Card weekend

*vine voice* AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES

Kotelnicki looks like Jason Kelce drawn from memory

If I had a dollar for every time a UGA QB got blown up right before the half in a non-regular season game this year, I’d have two dollars, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

There’s a lot wrong in sports media for a variety of reasons, but SVP has never been one of those things. Perhaps I’ll do a write up at some point, but I’m thrilled that there’s still a space for folks like SVP that execute at such a high level in their writing, insight, and delivery

…is this the best CFP game of all time since the 2014 expansion?

That might not be the worst Bears game I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely the dumbest

So far this week at Tilka Theaters™️ we’ve done: -It’s a Wonderful Life -White Christmas -Old School -Wedding Crashers -The Holdovers -Juror #2 Folks we are on a ROLL

Donovan Hale Rashard Fant Tegray Scales Roger Saffold Dan Feeney

I would lay my life on the line for Coach Cig

What a finish by Vermont in the College Cup

Good morning and good morning only to whoever was blaring the 2006 Hurricane Chris smash hit “A Bay Bay” outside my apartment at 7 a.m. today

See I would’ve undercut him and woulda gladly done it for $764 million

Sark vs. Smart

I have no clue how you can justify having the winner of this game getting a bye, just atrocious stuff

Very funny statement on flag planting coming from the conference that *made their own flag design* for when their school gets major OOC road wins

If ya got the word “The” in your name chances are you’re on my top artist list
