@ArashMarkazi Attended my first ever Rose Bowl this year. Loved the experience, but missed at least half a quarter waiting in the food line. They did a great job having beer vendors throughout though.

It’s a shame the Rose Bowl will never again host the Super Bowl or National Championship game again.

@PeteThamel With all due respect to Mr. Bjorn this is absurd. Continuing to allow the AD to reset the clock on his tenure is malpractice by the UMass administration. Major change is needed.

Sources: UMass is hiring longtime Rhode Island athletic director Thorr Bjorn as the school’s new senior deputy athletic director. He’s a UMass football alum (1990), and he’ll oversee the football program at UMass.

@EddieBarstool @danabeers Unreal Po’ Boys in the back there.

A cigarette machine will almost always make you a bar in my book. Special cameo from ⁦@danabeers⁩ in this one

@PatsSoxSol @SavageSports_ That’s Sam Howell

@SavageSports_ He doesn’t look like he’s enjoying it… something is amiss

@CurryHicksSage Any ETA on this?

Later today I’m going to assemble screenshots of texts I’ve been receiving from college sports people around the nation sending me their unsolicited observations on UMass. They ain’t pretty.

1 goal in the first 5 minutes!!

@F3TheBlitz @F3Raleigh Not to be confused with….

If you smell a delicious, crispy smell after tomorrow’s workout, it’s not you, it’s a little bit o’ Shake and Bake @KevScanlon. 5:30 for the ME @F3Raleigh

In a just world, this would be a New York Times feature story - the Dave Portnoy Effect. I randomly came across a Portnoy pizza review and just so happened to be close by. So I made the trip to Ah-Beetz in Delray Beach, Florida. He had given it an 8.4, which is (apparently) an excellent score.  I don't follow Dave Portnoy. I don't consume Barstool's content, or even relate to the demographic it cultivates. I don't eat much pizza, except with my kids. I don't bet on sports, and generally think adult men who devote excessive hours to watching professional sports are wasting their time. But, as someone who follows the zeitgeist, I can objectively say Portnoy seems like a very good person: -> Earned his success; the free market seldom lies -> Took Cancel Culture head-on and won -> Raised ~$40 million for small businesses during COVID -> Called out fake news outlets like Business Insider long before Ackman buried them -> Personally donated and raised millions for great causes - law enforcement, first responders, animal shelters, etc. - as opposed to having a building named after himself at Harvard. The pizza at Ah-Beetz is excellent. Very much worth the trip. But more interesting is the Dave Portnoy effect. I asked the owner about the influence he's had on their business.  When Portnoy's review aired, Ah-Beetz was a single, small shop in a less-than-desirable strip mall not far from I-95, really far from the beach or what is generally considered a nice part of Palm Beach County. Overnight, there was a two-hour wait, a pop that has never receded (because the food is also great). And now, in less than a year, there are soon-to-be 4 locations and 70+ employees, an expansion that they attribute almost entirely to Portnoy. Revenue has increased more than 10x, or millions of dollars that are also attributable to Portnoy, for which he has not received/sought any attention or credit.  Portnoy has completely changed their lives. And this has probably happened countless times all over the country.  (Also, they said he was exceptionally kind and humble, and 100% sincere.) This is America.

@F3TheBlitz Strong work by all. open.spotify.com/playlist/2zkQD… And House of Pain/Everlast…definitely Irish-ish #proof

14 for shenanigans…endless circuits from @KevScanlon and Irish tunes, but sadly no pot of gold at the end. 🎶 When Irish eyes are smilin, sure it's like a morn in Spring!

It’s the week of St. Patrick’s Day, and who better to kick off the festivities than Shake and Bake @KevScanlon? We’ll say top o’the morning to ye at 5:30 sharp! ☘️ @F3Raleigh

Did not think I’d be catching strays from my favorite hockey team today @F3Raleigh

@ESPNMcGee A message was being sent...

Translation: There are 30,000 UNC alums who live in Charlotte metro. WTH. Y'all couldn't come downtown for a few hours?

Big thanks to Showtime for stopping by the @NHL_On_TNT broadcast tonight. Great insight into his decision to sign in Hockeytown, and what the greatest American born player to ever lace them up has been through the last few years, and especially last few months. Detroit will be rocking when 88 hits the ice.

@DanielCane1970 Danny I haven’t had a chance to listen but can you address the rumors in NC that you will be on-hand in Chapel Hill tomorrow?

👏 @CharlieBakerMA

The difference…..@stoolpresidente

@F3TheCarl @FazioF3 @F3mr_rogers

13 cussed up a storm this morning. Unofficially, @FazioF3 had the best set and @KevScanlon the worst, according to @F3mr_rogers. Welcome to Counterfeit from East Wake. spotify.link/jJKVxjwAWAb

@F3Overdraft @Manning_Lasso And a little line of pain to boot!

I recognize the back of that red head. Let’s go @Manning_Lasso!

Have you ever seen a prettier truck @VTGoodCarma?

@FrankieBorrelli Can’t compete on the ice so resorting to bush league tactics. Not befitting of a team supported by Mr. Borelli.

Remember this? Linesman didn’t say a word. Fucking joke what just happened
