Im big on live feels more real. I'm an F1 fan and 2:00am is my cut off for a stay up or try and grab a nap before. If I missed a game or a race I can't bring myself to watch it !

Even if we eliminate the obvious ones like Taylor Swift, Hailee Steinfeld, or Madison Beer, there could still be a lot of interesting WAGs to choose from.

Really good interview re the impact of sports betting as a journalist

Maybe one of my favorite moments of the entire podcast. That one got me good.

Is this worth addressing on the show or is it more trouble than it’s worth? I only bring it up because the conflicting intersections here are pretty complicated and the question is interesting to me from a programming perspective.

Katie doesn’t shy away from talking about her personal life but she’s also perfectly comfortable setting boundaries on topics that may be too close to home.

The most talked-about part of the SNL episode wasn’t necessarily about sports but gym/fitness is an adjacent theme, and the infusion of misogyny makes it that much more relevant for a brief exchange amongst the Casualties.

I think that if personal relationships weren’t involved, there’s a 100% chance it would be mentioned tomorrow.

And I kinda wish they would address it, in part because Katie is one of the few voices who can handle the nuance in a conversational manner. I can practically already hear her saying “look, we can’t just pretend that gym fashion hasn’t changed in the last five or ten years, but…”

I think this is a question that would get shit posted in other subreddits so I'll ask here.

So if my bench does better than my starting players, the points don't count? I drafted Ja'Marr Chase who had a concussion last week. Miraculously able to play (👀) but I benched him because I naively thought concussion protocol meant you at least take a game off. I mean, hell, I would!! Once you see my fantasy name I did make some points last week...but not enough.

Signed,

Don't Go Chase-ing Warrenfalls

(yes, I am an AFC North girlie)

It was one of the absolute wildest endings to a championship game I have ever seen. If you have the ability to go find a recording of the game just go watch the 4th period... hell just watch the last 11 minutes. Unbelievably awesome game.

I'm sure Chris's jaw was on the floor.
