about the newly-renamed and revamped Sean McManus Studio 43 and this year's new cast for "The NFL Today." Interesting insights on what they're doing with production and talent.
"As Lori Loughlin traveled to L.A. Tuesday night to surrender to federal authorities in the college bribery scandal -- which got her daughter, Olivia Jade, into USC -- Olivia spent the night on the yacht of the Chairman of USC's Board of Trustees."
I mean, "in the Bahamas, on a yacht owned by the chairman of the USC board of trustees" certainly isn't the worst place to learn that your mom's been federally indicted for spending $500,000 to make you a fake crew recruit.
Political journalists: "It's incredible that this figure from South Bend is hanging around in the national discussion despite lacking both qualifications and results!"
College football writers: 🙄
I've been a bawling mess all day. It's hard; this would suck regardless of if you know someone involved, but it's so much worse when you do. The world lost so many great people here, and Tyler was one of those. I'm so sad we'll never get to see what else he would have done.
NEWS: My friends and I now own and run The Onion. I’ll be the CEO.
We’re keeping the entire staff, bringing back The Onion News Network, and share the wealth with staff.
Basically, we’re going to let them do whatever they want. Get excited.
Me, an idiot: "Missing the College Football Playoff for the third-straight season must be rough for the Pac-12."
Larry Scott, an intellectual: "For the third-straight season, we've avoided having one of our teams murdered in a national semifinal! Give me another raise!"

Newt Gingrich, a three-star Air Force general and former publicist for Michael Jackson and Prince want to create a $2 billion sweepstakes to see who can establish and run the first lunar base
This coming week, we will launch a multilateral Transatlantic task force to identify, hunt down, and freeze the assets of sanctioned Russian companies and oligarchs – their yachts, their mansions, and any other ill-gotten gains that we can find and freeze under the law.
The idiots at WFAN should realize that Funhouse gives their material so much more visibility than it would ever get otherwise. Great strategy, people. (But maybe not surprising given their last few months of scheduling brilliance...)
A Maryland football player who spoke to investigators about a "toxic culture" at the program says he was assaulted at practice after Durkin's reinstatement, suffering a black eye & dislocated shoulder & needing multiple stitches on his face
"The 6-2 result posted by MLB dot com is misleading and extremely irresponsible. We are extremely disappointed in the Nationals' attempt to fabricate a win where one does not exist.” - The Houston Astros.
I've only watched five minutes of this LaVar Ball-Chris Cuomo CNN interview, and my brain is leaking out of my ears. This is the worst thing I've seen on television in a long while.
The amount of people who do not understand this reference, every time someone makes it, boggles my mind. You don't even have to have seen the movie. You could Google the quote. Or you can just, as so many do, reply with "LOL WRONG," and assume you know better.
Remember when David Booth asked if Nike's Colin Kaepernick "Believe in something even if it means sacrificing everything" ad tagline meant "does this mean you can fly a plane into a building?"
I think my biggest disappointment today is finding that "John Paul Jones" is trending, and that it's not about the U.S. naval officer or the Led Zeppelin bassist, but rather someone on The Bachelorette.
I appreciate the NCAA's commitment to spending way more than the value of the cash allegedly provided here on investigative work to try and ensure that no player was possibly compensated for their work in an event that's worth $7.3 billion over 12 years in TV money alone.
I love how this era has everyone just finding old things and claiming they "invented" them. Yesterday, it was radio dramas. Now, I bet we'll get "The President will address the nation in a way never seen before. TikTok presents: Fireside Toks."
SOCRATES: "The body is a source of endless trouble to us by reason of the mere requirement of food. ...When does the soul obtain truth?"
WAITRESS: "I asked if you had any questions ABOUT THE MENU."
DARRYL, SOCRATES' FRIEND: "Dude, we've been here for an hour. Just order."
I would love to hear how photoshopping players' jerseys and placing your own network's logo on microphones from other networks fits with "never our intention to misrepresent."
ESPN re: video: "We occasionally look to connect sports moments of the past with contemporary imagery and storylines as part of our social content. While it was never our intention to misrepresent anything for fans, we completely recognize how this instance caused confusion."
So great that TSN decided to give a radio show to "a guy famous for facepaint and smoking" rather than any of the countless people who actually have a clue how the NHL works. Real good look.
When does the NHL Board of Governors step in and force the sale of the Ottawa Senators?
I mean I’d hate to lose the
#BattleOfOntario
rivalry but there is a group of individuals with a brand new rink in Quebec that I am confident would be better for the growth of the sport.

@GoMightyCard
This is the absolute dumbest take I've seen on the CFL in a long time. The CFL is in incredible shape relative to the XFL, and a merger A. wouldn't do anything for either league and B. would never happen. And you used to work in the CFL? Good grief.
It's not like Antonio retired, threw a big months-long farewell, talked about all the cool stuff he had planned, and then suddenly came back to grab his old slot again a few months later. Something like that, now that would get you called a selfish jerk...

Lance Berkman on falling off the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot after only one year: "It's hard to figure that a guy in Edgar Martinez, who had a great career, gets 85% of the vote and I virtually had the same career and I get less than 5%. There's something off about that."

I'm disturbed & saddened by what we are seeing today in Ottawa. This situation was created by the PM & his desire to divide Canadians. It’s time for MPs to return to the House tomorrow to stop the overreach by this government & restore unity, wholeness & hope back to our nation.

Many Canadians are giddy at the prospect that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be moving to Canada, injecting some razzle dazzle to the sprawling, bone-chillingly cold country.
This is a fun piece on Coach O. And the "without an accent" line is a great one. Everyone should realize that however they talk is not "normal" to people from anywhere else. We all have weird accents.
