the savannah bananas and party animals have sold out an NFL stadium. this is three hours before first pitch.

I didn’t have “multiple campaigns featuring flying facial hair” on my Super Bowl Bingo Card. #SuperBowl

Why are people saying the Mavericks are a “small market team.” DFW is a top 5 media market. It’s one of the largest metros in the U.S. What defines “small market?”

15 NFC teams have now made the NFC Championship Game since 2010, which is pretty impressive parity. The one that has not is the Dallas Cowboys, who have not been since 1996.

@drantbradley Marketing. Sports is big business, and the scholarship pitch is how you get parents to justify the expense. They found a way to turn parents living vicariously through their children’s sporting achievements into a money printing machine.

Question for an article I'm writing: Why do middle-class suburban parents believe focusing on [travel] sports is a better path to college admission than dedicating the same time outside school to strengthening math, science, or reading skills? Looking for perspectives. Thoughts?

@hollow_jef86072 Ummm, 10 teams.

@alecteefer Ummm, who did IU and SMU beat to get in playoffs? I’ll wait…

So everyone is big mad that the 10 and 11 seeds got beaten in the first round of a 12 team tournament? Do people not know how tournaments work? I mean, there were never, ever any big blowouts in the four team format, right? Right?? #CFP2024 #CFP

38 years ago tonight, SNL gave us the alternate ending of It’s A Wonderful Life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 @danacarvey @realjonlovitz @WilliamShatner

Remember, College Football Playoff selection has nothing to do with wins and losses, but how big an audience your team generates, not just for the games, but for the hundreds of hours of content leading up to the games.

“Ah, but you asked for a playoff team. You didn’t ask to actually be IN the playoffs. I gave you what you asked for - Now your 2024 season is mine! HAHAHAHAHA!” - The Devil to Mike Norvell, sometime last December #fsu

THE DUCK IS CROWDSURFING THE FIELD STORM 🔥🦆 @oregonfootball

I've been to Australia. That was their best dancer.

We're hiring! The Baylor Dept. of Journalism, PR & New Media is looking for a tenure track assistant professor starting Fall 2025. apply.interfolio.com/148087

Prediction: this will solve nearly nothing. There will be an initial Hawthorne effect and afterwards, we'll realize that this legislation did nothing to address the underlying issues facing children and families - things that actually do have legislative solutions. 😬

TL;DR: Social media may not be destroying our teens. Some problems don't have simple solutions. nature.com/articles/d4158…

I still got it - check my eligibility! 😂😂 Bayley asked me earlier in the season to do a one man if we won. I stand by my word! 🤷🏻‍♀️ @theNCATA #SicEm

A study in @SciReports investigates the association between children screen time and drawing ability, and the confounding effects of socioeconomic characteristics and children’s competing activities. go.nature.com/3RYZH8O

Nobody cares about the Oscars anymore. Nobody watches. Nobody cares. Greta Gerwig was the most important filmmaker this past year. That’s all you need to know.

@Kyle__Metcalf The defense he was referring to didn’t play tonight. I’m not even mad about literally all of FSU’s best players sitting out. They got the message that winning didn’t matter, loud and clear.

Man. Lots of people like to dig up stuff like this and dunk on the poster. But FSU went undefeated. Ain't nothing wrong with being a fan and seeing it from a fans perspective.

Today I went into the grocery to buy some cereal. Next to the cereal I noticed the Pop Tarts. All I could think was, “They want to be eaten. It’s their dream.” So I bought a box of Pop Tarts. Well done, Pop Tarts marketing team. Well done. #PopTartBowl #poptarts
