This may be an unpopular opinion, but I'm gonna post it as a PSA. Katt Williams new stand up tour #HeavenOnEarth is weak AF. Maybe I went in with too high of expectations, but the entire show was hot garbage. And I'm a big fan too #KattWiliams

@fwsaltt The beat(s) go dumb and dot's flow over them was spectacular, but man when it comes to lyrics and bars this was weaker than expected. All that noise about drake using AI so I know we're not out here giving dot credit for sounding like a Minaj track with all that voice play.

No matter who wins the SNF game between the cowboys & niners, America loses. The winning team's fan base will be absolutely insufferable after this...

Richard Sherman famously went on ESPN’s ‘First Take’ in 2013 and endlessly trash talked Skip Bayless.

“In my 24 years of life, I’m better at life than you.”

One of the best moments in Seahawks history. Always fun rewatching

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:

We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?

We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...

During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...

We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...

We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...

But for the day's highlights...

To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...

If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...

And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...

And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....

We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.

It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.

It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...

And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.

But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.

These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.

Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.

Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.

If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.

Boo-Yah!

My family gifted me an early father's day experience this afternoon and bought me a massage that felt so good and was so relaxing that I farted a little bit during the process...
