Sports. Music. TV. Movies.
I love it all. That's why I'm launching my own variety podcast, Culture Hubb (get it? 😉), which will start Monday with an #NFLDraft2020 recap.
Check out my intro episode for more on what to expect from Culture Hubb:

Texas Tech's PR strategy to defend playing Brenden Sorsby seems to be:
1. We're just trying to help a child who is also an addict
2. Hey, at least he didn't murder anyone, amirite?
3. We'll sue your ass if you don't want to play us
Did I miss anything?
Monday's court decision clearing Brendan Sorsby to play was awful enough.
But somehow, Texas Tech's response and "PR tactics," if we can even call them that, have been even worse.
TTU's work this week has been an astonishingly poor attempt to smooth things over. Unbelievable.
What was it like inside Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night? Let me show you.

Good morning and Happy Wednesday to everyone who agrees that the audio of Speaker Johnson ADMITTING that he's planning on cutting Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security SHOULD BE A HUGE STORY.
Don't let him slide on this.
Gotta love the crowd going bonkers for the Earnhardt battle here. What a shame we were robbed of seeing those two compete against each other for many years. It would've been an awesome spectacle.
Jalen Brunson post Game 4: "Before we start…
My thoughts & prayers are with a friend of mine I got to meet last week. Jonathan from North Carolina. From Make a Wish Foundation
They asked me to make a video. But something told me to Facetime…
I got the pleasure to do so…Quick call but well worth it.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family…
May God rest his soul"
(Reporter asks question)
Jalen (can't answer): "Sorry…"
I think it's time we all recognize the NBA has a great creative team and writers. Wow. What a story! Texas heels rout hometown heroes in the 1st half at the World's Most Famous Arena (@TheGarden ), only for the babyfaces to perform the greatest comeback EVER! My compliments!
"I really don't know if anything sums up America better. It's simultaneously preposterous, incredibly laughable, impressive, charming, ridiculous, expensive, overpopulated, wonderful, American."
This beautiful. 🇺🇸
Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
This type of commentary is precisely the reason Georgia's outstanding sports comms department rejected an interview with Barstool.
I'm extra proud to be a Georgia alumnus today knowing my school turned down Portnoy. Go Dawgs!
The Georgia Bulldogs are dead to Dave Portnoy
"You're too good for Wake Up Barstool? Who does Georgia think they are? The Georgia Bulldogs are dead to me... I will root against Georgia as hard as I can in every sport for the rest of my life..." - @stoolpresidente
Reaction from lawyer Tom Mars, a veteran of NCAA cases: "In 40 years as a lawyer, I've never been as shocked and surprised by a court ruling." That sums the reaction on the college sports landscape today.
Trump’s egregious (repeat) lie about Jan. 6 in the new NBC interview he walked out of: “They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI: ‘Go into the building.’”
There’s precisely no evidence this happened. DOJ’s inspector general found that the FBI had zero undercover agents in the Capitol crowd. Kash Patel has himself debunked a Trump-promoted conspiracy theory on this subject, saying FBI agents were merely deployed to do crowd control after the police declared a riot.
And of the dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who tried a “the cops let me in” defense, just one (1) was acquitted. Even in that case, the acquitting judge said that though the defendant reasonably believed he was being allowed in, the officers in question were actually overrun by the crowd and standing back reasonably and responsibly, not explicitly encouraging anyone to enter. (And they weren’t FBI.)
So grateful to join my friend Bruce @Springsteen in celebrating the history of American music at the opening of his archives. I was honored to sing This Land Is Your Land last night to fans of all kinds of music. Thanks again Bruce. KC
On this date in 1959, Harvey Haddix retired the first 36 Braves he faced in Milwaukee, carrying a perfect game into the 13th inning ...
An error ended the perfect game, a Joe Adcock double ended the no-hitter, and Harvey Haddix somehow ended the day with a loss.
Final line for Haddix:
12.2 IP | 1 H | 0 ER | 8 K
And somehow ... a loss 🤯
