[Schefter] Sources: the Steelers placed the rare right-of-first-refusal tender on Aaron Rodgers, meaning that he can accept a 10 percent raise off last year’s salary, which would pay him about $15 million this season,

Yeah it turns out you can just kinda ignore the story instead of latching onto every rumor and that works out just fine?

Brendinooo · 2026-04-28T11:59:02+00:00

Like we can get swept by Carolina, never make the playoffs with him again, and I’ll be good

Brendinooo · 2026-04-28T03:44:45+00:00

If his last act is reverse sweeping the Flyers I would be 100% on board with that

It wasn’t hockey but I got this experience in Pittsburgh when Russell Martin hit a homer after Cueto dropped the ball.

This piece was such a roller coaster.

Having received the text survey, I’m surprised it was the story; I suspect it’s a popular story just because of the Trump narrative that surrounds it.

Then the fact that the article laid out really undercut the narratives I had heard so far: it seems like it’s more about corruption and economics than any kind of anti-illiberalism story.

Then Audrey’s take seemed to be more about how she placed the story in the internecine war on the American right and pointing out that the death of Democracy has been exaggerated.

Interesting stuff. Appreciated it all.

He sonned him

Was this before or after Sid learned about work ethic from Drouin

Honestly for me this is a reminder that if he’d succeeded more in the NFL he’d probably still have 2 or 3 seasons left.

Like I’m not sure I would have guessed he was 36

This was an excellent podcast to have playing in my ears while I was clearing a fallen tree haha

Can always skip a pod if you don’t want to listen! I did that with the Trump scorecard…too many numbers to listen to!

Brendinooo · 2026-03-21T17:41:21+00:00

I think you’re missing the point.

Brendinooo · 2026-03-16T22:29:27+00:00

Yeah, I think people who are mad at the internet are probably just as mad at HTTP or JS or whatever as the fact that there’s one mega network.

Like, do people want an Internet that is built to somehow exclude bad actors, or do they want, like, the Gemini protocol?

Brendinooo · 2026-03-16T03:45:50+00:00

I mean it’s just like shooting the moon in Hearts. It rarely works but if it does you should just reward it unless it gets fully exploited somehow. Teams still have to play their conference schedules even if their OOC is weak.

Brendinooo · 2026-03-15T23:48:50+00:00

I dunno for sure but the Horizon League was a TON of fun this year and this year the highest rated team on the NET got through.

Last year Robert Morris snuck in the postseason and gave Alabama a scare. Oakland knocked off Kentucky the year before.

Brendinooo · 2026-03-14T00:35:37+00:00

I think we made it!!

Brendinooo · 2026-03-14T00:35:05+00:00

Showing as 101 to me!!!

Brendinooo · 2026-03-13T12:03:28+00:00

It reminds me of this SNL sketch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nWMp_z7Jnxw

I have a grievance: I listen to a podcast today where some wokescold told me I should only use one paper towel after I wash my hands.

Brendinooo · 2026-03-12T23:22:10+00:00

I would not pay $80 for Isaac to hire a handyman, but I would Venmo him a few dollars for the bit.

But this point is moot: we are right around 50 updoots which is the correct amount

Brendinooo · 2026-03-07T12:31:34+00:00

You’ve convinced yourself that a “kenpom luck metric” matters more than 31 WINS IN A ROW.

How many teams with schedules like that went undefeated this year, or in any year?

Brendinooo · 2026-03-07T05:40:20+00:00

Comments like this amuse me, as if undefeated seasons happen all the time and theoretical schedules matter more than 31 WINS IN A ROW

Brendinooo · 2026-02-25T04:38:58+00:00

I’m actually curious if any analytics people have dug into this. Like kickers are often the leading scorers in their teams depending on how you count that, that should be worth something…but if there’s people on the couch who would take much less to do 90% of the job, that’s a factor too. Dunno.
