At least J. Person went out with a bang --- NY Times buys The Athletic --- "...turn out the lights, the party's over..."

I was gonna say, "Idiocracy" isn't a funny movie. It's a reflection of modern times.

Pretty much, just the early stages of it. Full on in another 3 or 4 generations it looks like. Just add tiktok and a ton more racism.

Under Times ownership, The Athletic will be operated separately from The Times’s newsroom and its sports section, the company said.  

When asked about potential layoffs at The Athletic, she said, “at this point, that’s not our plan.”

I've been part of two companies that were acquired. This kind of thing is what the acquiring company ALWAYS says. In my experience it's proved be either an outright lie or a "well, that's what we wanted but things have changed and now we're fully integrating [previous company] into [new owner], oh, and BU-BYE."

Tikthot's servers need to be carpet-bombed for the good of all humanity.

Just when you though Utube was the bottom, tiktok shows how much dumber it all can get.

If I have to see another idiot in their auto telling me how they would fix their world on a kindergarten level education lord have mercy

Never understood why someone would pay just to read another person's opinions. But hey, you do you. The demon known as Twitter is free and gives 99% of this place up-to-the-second news anyway.

You think Twitter features more accurate reporting than in-depth reports in news, and that those in-depth reports are opinion? Sounds like the problem lies with you

The better question is why are you clicking on and then watching that kind of mess in the first place?🤔

News media is dying.  Let it die.  It’s all lies and half truths to push a narrative.  Good riddance.


Praise be to Regan and Rupert Murdoch for ending the fairness doctrine in the 80’s. People love their propaganda spoon fed to them if the ratings of cable TV are any indication.

No mention of Obama removing the restrictions for propaganda to the American people?

If we’re getting specific let’s be fair to both ignorant ass sides.

Was just thinking that. Same name, trash writing. I'd imagine the NFL teams each having a beat reporter would stick around longer than some other sports. Nascar, certain college sports, stuff like that will probably be stripped down to regional coverage. 430 beat reporters is a lot

    • So what is more important? what he did on the Saints the year before last or how he compares to a ROOKIE who clearly had problems adjusting to the LEAGUE last year on another team and it effecting win/losses? smh And you say im all over the place.  Also, i clearly gave explanations for how the seattle game played out. Its rare a qb has to throw the ball 63 times so to think it would have been a theme for the season is ludicrous... the even bigger point is that its not necessarily his fault if he has to do it in the first place like he was calling the plays but for some strange reason you continue to hold that against Dalton as if its all on him and not the guys around him racking up penalties. If he is old terrible as you say it shouldnt matter how bad the defense was he played, he shouldnt have been able to throw for over 300 yds on them with no turnovers. But this is the narratives people pushed all season, why didnt bryce turn around and destroy and even worse defense against a winless vikings the next week? Do i need to layout how dumb this logic is even more?
    • I love to bash them for this move but its smart..  They have a team that can win the NFCS this year, but yet they are picking in the top 10 now.  Cousins contract is really only a 2 year deal. So Penix can sit and learn with no pressure for 2 years and in year 3 when Cousins guaranteed money is over they can plug in Penix.  If they were not in a position to win the South this year then I think this would have been bad trade, but its smart and they can afford it. 
    • Already noticing differences At least this year, we did not see photos of Xavier hugging Mrs. Tepper (even if others were hugged, it simply suggests owner involvement on a premature level, imo)--there were no cute news conferences wherein the head coach jokes about drafting a RB because he had a good game against Baylor and his wife told him to; There are not recordings of the head coach calling a long snapper and trying to convince him that he is being drafted and not pranked.    In other words, I get the feeling that the GM was actually able to do his job this year--we shall see.
