I've got a new column up about Tony Romo.

I miss him already, professionally speaking.

I'd be willing to bet Goldee's is the only Michelin star joint halfway between a crushed concrete plant and an RV rental store. Every bit as good as you've heard and then some. Congratulations, guys. You earned it. https://t.co/IwStzL8Smg

Here's David Ellison talking about CNN and CBS News on CNBC this morning:

FABER: "You kept Mark Thompson. Why?"

ELLISON: "He's done a phenomenal job. And we also, given everything everyone's been through, we want stability. We believe in editorial independence across the news organizations. We think CNN is a remarkable brand. We think CBS News is a remarkable brand. When you put these two businesses together, it's a …"

FABER: "CBS News under Bari Weiss has changed its approach to a certain extent. Do you expect similar moves from CNN?"

DE: "Right now, I'd say you have to talk to Mark. Corporate stays out of editorial. So again, I would say that's a that's a conversation for Mark, it's a conversation for Bari. But we're going to support them."

ICYMI, New from “EIGHTIES …ish:” on Cable TV, the most game-changing of all game-changers for kids of the ’80s, and how it brought an avalanche of options overnight, the first time a box (and that clunky remote control!) arrived in your living room. https://t.co/iEv4zRytzh

Bad*sses with Peter King: Michael Irvin told Peter to meet him at his office to do an interview for an SI story.

It was a strip club.

"What are we doing here?" he asked.

"You came to my office." Irv said.

An all-time story on This Is Football:

Before A.I. slop filled our screens, Marc Summers brought us actual slop on screen that delighted children. Discussed 40 years of "Double Dare," the show that made Nickelodeon an institution: https://t.co/0jvftieNd5

New PRESS BOX:

@byjoelanderson and I talked about the great batch of polls Democrats got this weekend. We talked about Ramaswamy’s bobble.

@BillSimmons Really big. Huge. It says a lot. It really does.

[Bryan Curtis @bryancurtis]

This is why I've been advocating for replays to be added to the postgame interview.

Maye gives you nothing minus the comp at the end. But it's pretty good TV, in any case, and we were spared learning what IT SAYS ABOUT THIS TEAM.

[NFL on CBS 🏈 @NFLonCBS]

We got Drake Maye's instant reaction to Efton Chism's incredible catch 🙌

He told @EvanWashburn it reminded him of another @Patriots catch 👀

[Adam Carlson @admcrlsn]

If Husted loses, every political reporter needs to send this patriot a hand written thank you card for providing the cover photo for the postmortem article on his campaign.

[Bryan Curtis @bryancurtis]

The Cowboys finally take the lead, now let’s hear from Angela Paxton.

[Bryan Curtis @bryancurtis]

A lot of talk about Brandon Aubrey "chip shots" and not a lot about crappy game management by the Cowboys at the end of halves.

[Bryan Curtis @bryancurtis]

@Tex2WestSeattle @SportsSturm That’s correct.
