@HoopsTalk13 Idk who the guy with the ball is, but the one getting dunked on is probably Shane Dingle

@AndThatsBB Aside from the pure ridiculousness of this video, they used Sammy Sosa as an example of “pure American dominance” who last I checked is not American???

My first Substack article is live.

Orlando has a spacing crisis—and after 16 years of watching this team, I had to write about it.

Would really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read.

They spent 10 years telling you you had “trump derangement syndrome” or “you can disagree on politics and still be friends” to end up supporting a well funded terroist organization.

You’re now in the 10th year of maga and the first year of the clowns second term, where his secret police can execute you on camera in broad day, then a mix of idiots and A.i bots get under posts to convince you that you didn’t just see exactly what you just saw on a VIDEO

We are in hell.

(long-winded sports media rant here that I'll possibly turn into a video at some point)

This article mentions the massive industry wide layoffs and cuts over the last decade to traditional written sports journalism, and I think a downstream effect that nobody has mentioned yet is that because of that industry crumbling, networks like ESPN and FS1 have drastically reduced up and coming talent pools to work with, and it's really hurting sports TV.

It's no wonder they fill seats on debate shows with so many ex-players now. There is a whole missing generation of young-ish writers and radio hosts that basically *doesn't exist*, because almost the whole traditional sports journalism industry is gone.

And here's the real underlying issue - while yes, a lot of the sports writers or radio hosts that network TV would usually poach from never played in the league...and most of them certainly didn't come to the network with their own baked-in celebrity or national brand...many of them had a skill that not a lot of ex-players possess.

They can tell a good story.

Great sports content - even on debate shows or analytical shows - is all about being able to coherently craft a narrative. Narratives are what make the games compelling. It's why we all care about this stuff.

Every Sunday in the fall, we get to see Scott Hanson guide us through a hundred simultaneous hero's journeys playing out in the Octobox.

Every four years, we see small nations take on global superpowers on the pitch.

Every century or so, we see a Monégasque driver sit atop the podium in Monaco, thinking about his father.

Writers know how to write stories. They know how to make the audience care about the games. There are many ex-players on TV that really don't know how to do that all, so they just yell out a talking point that half the time they don't even believe in, just because it gets attention.

And let me tell you; the greatest trick the devil ever played on sports television executives was making them think that getting the audience's attention was more important than getting the audience's investment.

A smaller pipeline of sports writers in traditional media means less and less story tellers end up on sports TV. That is bad for everyone.

My only hope is that YouTube becomes the new breeding ground for that talent to grow and develop. All of that creativity has to go somewhere, I guess.

🚨FREE AGENT UPDATE🚨

Monti Ossenfort has signed his second front-seven player of the day, this time with former Bengals LB Akeem Davis-Gaither.

What's the fallout from this move and should the Arizona Cardinals still add to their defensive line?
