Goff's "non grounding" was far, far worse. This game brought to you by FanDuel
@ATT IHX salespeople entered my business today and began soliciting customers who were sitting at tables minding their own business. Without permission.
@ATT customer service told me to send a letter to the “office of the president” so I figured the PR agency that runs your socials would be the next best thing 🤘
“Let’s go to our rules expert, Matt whatchu think here?”
“Kirk the game ended 4 hours ago please stop calling me”

The thing about 24 that bothers me most is…
Who is this for?
It’s not because TV was begging for it. ESPN had to be convinced.
It’s not for a boatload of new cash. Losing conf champ games is gonna make this a minimal gain.
It’s not because the 22nd team has any shot at a natty. It doesn’t.
It’s certainly not done with the health, safety, or academic success of the players in mind since they don’t even get a say in this.
It’s entirely to appease the people donating the money that keeps a financially irresponsible business model afloat. It’s discounting success so schools can say “look what your donation bought.”
It’s an industry hellbent on treating investors and bosses as the customer, and customers as an infinite resource that will keep coming back no matter what.
"if" ???
NEW: Could Florida State be ready to move off Mike Norvell if the Miami game goes south?

Oh my gosh I love this
Asked Texas A&M coach Mike Elko what he'd say to Aggie fans who are losing faith in the team.
"There's a difference to me between the fan base and social media. So there's one group that I really don't care much about. Billy's cesspool (at TexAgs) can go be Billy's cesspool. Our fan base, stay with us, be behind us. We're going to build something that we told you we were going to build. So we're in a really bad spot right now, but we'll work our way out of it."

Multiple factors, but here are the key reasons imo
1. Games between big programs just feel like two groups of mercenaries facing off. The teams don’t feel as tied to the fanbase or community as much anymore because guys are only there for like eight months.
2. Mercenary teams means sloppy football for the first month. And not in the fun Pac-12 way.
3. The broadcast feels like a vehicle that purely exists to get you sign up for a sportsbook. They have to dial it back. It’s too much.
4. The pregame shows don’t feel like they actually love the sport, but rather just love the conference that pays them more.
5. Vibes are off, generally.
*puts on my PR consultant tinfoil hat*
This Jimbo Fisher thing was 100% leaked to get an idea of fan sentiment, right?
Every reporter is gonna use the same lede if this game does indeed get played tonight and FSU loses lol
