Not just the Cyber Truck recall...Tesla is going through a lot of things right now.

“Dear Gregg Doyel,

Yes, you are a part of the problem–and women in sports are exhausted from putting up with behavior like yours.”

My open letter on how *not* to cover women’s sports (and what to do instead) for Awful Announcing:

The best women's basketball coverage from mainstream sports media comes from... Pat McAfee?

That's right, the ESPN lightning rod gets what makes women's hoops fun and interesting -- and the rest of sports media can take note

Manoj Bhargava's takeover of The Arena Group and subsequent loss of the Sports Illustrated license is a disaster.

Their stock is down 82% in the last 6 months, the company is engulfed in ongoing litigation, and Bhargava was recently named in a Senate Swiss bank tax probe.

Netflix added ESPN's 10 hour masterpiece, OJ Made In America.

This is really one the Rushmore of sports documentaries. If you haven't seen it, definitely worth your time (even though it's a lot of time!)

Potentially one of the most ambitious things ESPN has done.

For the last two years I've struggled to know what exits and on ramps are open, let alone the construction traffic. Whe my better half has asked when this chaos will be over, I've said 'has to be this year or next, it's been going on for so long'

It turns out I was a decade off.

Marketability?

Considering A'ja Wilson sold enough books to become a bestselling author within the span of one week, the idea that she wouldn’t have a signature shoe flying off the shelves just as fast is laughable.

The last four tweets from Nevada State Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant are absolutely perfect.

It works perfectly as satire but it's not.

No notes. 10/10

Links from the big sites are such a huge help to smaller sites. It’s not the traffic but the added SEO credibility.

Most of of the top tier sites are purposefully stingy about it that you almost have to complain to get a link. It’s always been like this and it’s not changing.

This is the first time I've heard about Ohio's Nepotism Law and BELIEVE me, this state oozes nepotism.

I'm pretty neutral on hiring Jon Diebler, but what are we doing here? He's qualified and incredibly more so than Corey Dennis or Dick Tressel was.

This is really stupid.

Since ESPN decommissioned ESPNews, they've lost some ability/agility to cover breaking news.

With PMS 12-2 and not beholding to Bristol and reruns of Get Up and First Take, can definitely be a black hole in covering breaking news (on tv, ESPN 90 minutes into nothing on Porter)

One of the bigger questions in all of sports media right now is just how much of the surge in interest in women's college basketball will carry over to the WNBA. Very hard to predict!

I will say that Clark being a potential regular on PMS (both in Indy) would certainly help.

This is the shit I would do in class when not paying attention and is now what I do when I zone out walking the dogs.

I've done conference realignment, figured out the rotation for OSU's Bball, restructured our legislative branch.

You know, normal dog walk thought exercises

Was curious about WNBA team valuations & read that Mark Davis bought the Aces for a reported $2 million in 2021.
Who sold for that cheap, I wondered. What idiot misread sports trends that badly, what rube failed to see the imminent women’s sports boom?

And I gotta say: lmao

I’ve accomplished a lot today but getting someone to agree to watch and review Draft Day is what I’ll point to as the day’s biggest win.
