To put it into context, the podcast Behind the Bastards did a two part episode on Ron DeSantis.

The one they did for Vince McMahon was six episodes.

lmao you think the writers on wrestling shows, or the performers are allowed to be union?

lmao Vince didn't have Hogan rat out organizers to allow that poo poo to happen.

Individual wrestlers have had SAG cards while still active but it means fuckall in the actual industry.

It just means that if they do some light character work they can go to a hospital without taking out a loan.

MLB is saying the ALDS/ALCS will be on FOX/FS1 but I can't figure out if that's a simulcast or if they're going to split it and just haven't decided how to split it yet. Do I need to be restarting my sling subscription to be able to watch all the O's games or am I overthinking this?

They'll be split. Only series totally on Fox is the World Series.

I would assume the strike would mean there’s more room for baseball on the Fox schedule. But I haven’t looked at it recently so maybe it’s all loaded with Masked Singer episodes.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Really hope Wisconsin (he's an alum) quietly distances themselves from him. He's been front row in the student section at some basketball games, did taped lineup intros once. Felt off then, looks worse now.

Mad Dog <3

Jul 24, 2007

This segment from a couple weeks back was the subject of an amazing Spencer Hall piece on his website

https://twitter.com/JimmyTraina/status/1704519270791573949

quote:

Most extraordinarily of all: Russo's words are not even the most enduring takeaway from this segment. That indelible honor belongs to Marcus Spears, who, while everyone else around the desk is trying to appear too cool for school, is too busy VIBING THE gently caress OUT. Spears functions in this scene as a gleeful audience surrogate, with a series of escalating reactions that elevate the moment from a storied bit of televised drollery into a living tableau of folk art.

...

Mad Dog’s gonna start drinking at noon and gently set his brain to soft boil with half an edible. Many ask: What strength edible we talkin’ here? The logical guess would be a five milligram baby steps edible, given that Chris Russo is a 62 year old man likely new to re-entry into the recreational cannabis market.

Then again, maybe Chris Russo is diesel as hell. Maybe he’s breaking up half a 1000 mg Korova Black Bar for the Florida State/Clemson game while delivering a tight eleven minutes on why the Yanks suck this year to a rapt audience of bros stuck in drive-time traffic on Ganymede. Maybe Mad Dog was already hammering blunts laced full of bug spray with U-God in a stairwell on Staten Island back in the '90s. I don’t know. You don’t know. This man evidently contains multitudes.

...

Mad Dog is on goddamn fire. TEN DIMES ON THE BUFFS. Some primal urge in the heart of the greater New York City man yearns to a.) devolve into cartoon gangster speak after exactly one drink, and b.) drop a solid percentage of their annual income making supremely confident wagers about games they know next to nothing about beforehand.

His wife goes out of town for one weekend, and Chris Russo not only will morph into his 23-year-old self, huffing the intoxicating and poisonous fumes of sports betting spray starch on his couch, but has spent all week planning it out.

It’s both Spencer and Holly, and their piece a couple weeks back on Jimmy Buffet was perfect. The Top Whatever also lives on and is great discussion of college football, sure, but their stuff on life in general is so good.

This is not a big deal but it's been driving me nuts and I'm wonder if anyone here can solve this riddle.

I am a Lions fan but live out of market, and I don't want to fork over money for Sunday Ticket (especially because they have several national games this year). Streams are reliably bad. So I listen online to 97.1 The Ticket and enjoy the homer announcers. Usually I do this on my laptop, but I had errands to run last week so I downloaded the Audacy app and tried to play it from there. It got as far as the coin toss before the broadcast switched to some CBS Radio NFL whiparound show with live updates around the league. I tried switching to my browser and got the same thing. I'm pretty sure this has also happened before when trying on a tablet. But the Lions broadcast continues to work when I listen on my laptop. Why the hell is this the case? Is there some weird NFL or FCC rule about mobile broadcasting of regional games? It's completely baffling.

It’s a contractual thing. NFL rules prohibit radio stations from streaming play-by-play of games. All local NFL radio broadcasts are streamed through the league’s audiopass.nfl.com site.
