Early highlight of today's Distraction podcast is @drewmagary.bsky.social pronouncing Spotrac as "spot rack" instead of what surely is intended to be "spo track," and @davidjroth.bsky.social and @edsbs.bsky.social tacitly agreeing to not comment on it.
Dave, Bluesky is no place for humor
Wild to say this when it is clearly working in NYC - maybe it wouldn't work in most other cities, but also, it might!
Feels like indefensible food takes and indefensible politics are strongly correlated
Are there book ideas that you haven't quite been able to get on the page? If so, how do you know when to let them go or at least leave them alone?
Wow! Thoughts?
David, if Drew was totally unwilling to talk about the Super Bowl, blink twice
"Slightly better than Sbarro, baby!"
Dwight m-fin' Schrute baby. Also Michelle Akers.
It certainly is Michelle Akers for me, but you'll perhaps appreciate Glendon Rusch far more.
Honestly the part where it tells you which spirits are "efficient for getting drunk" is maybe the wildest part
Maybe offense is more consistent but how much do you want to bet on the 38-year-old QB with a long injury history to A) stay healthy and B) repeat his career year?
Spoon with the Eurostep on Moses 👀👀👀
The Patriots offense was bad before the snow in the 2025 AFC Championship Game
IDK if I buy that they'd have been much better without the snow - here are their first half (no snow) stats
Almost like building narratives out of tiny samples is silly
Just having their full compliment of picks (or more) also helps - that 2021 three player draft was the absolute nadir
Jeez Dave, a country passes two constitutional amendments about something and all of a sudden it's a political issue?
Dave, you just don't understand. He's saying "stick with beer," as in don't give up on it, not "stick to beer," which would be insulting and frankly moronic if he had ever read any of your coverage.
Could not tap "download" fast enough on this one!
Did you actually get it confirmed that the double team on Williams on the fourth-and-goal was a mistake and not the play call?
On the other side of the ball - will be curious to see if they play a bunch of man against NE like they did against LAR - seems like a good choice given that NE's WRs are a step down from LA's, but maybe opens up scramble lanes for Maye?
Can you really be that if you're not even on the Discord (I think)?
Varsity game is at 3:30
@mikedugar.bsky.social any particular insight (or rooting interest) in today's two Mike vs Sean head coaching matchups?
In his SECOND SEASON!!! Truly one of themlgreatest coaching jobs ever
Sundell and Zabel out there finding work too - you love to see it!
Do you think the team cares who they play in the NFC CG?
Sorry
Bold take Ben
