    That is a really specific category but I suppose someone had to win it.

    Is Brian De Palma directing these baseball broadcasts for Roku? What is with the split diopter shots?

    Thanks to this xTweet, I've been introduced to the work of @JohnDeMarsico. Apparently Mets broadcasts are also a beautiful tribute the history of film and filmmaking. Some of the shots Mets fans have added to this thread are jaw dropping. SNY should produce the World Series.

    You don’t have a 19 year career in the NFL without knowing how to make a good business decision. Respect.

    Lavonte David might be Nebraska Football's greatest NFL export and is still criminally underrated.

    Scott Frost’s desperate devotion to Adrian Martinez lost him a football game and a bowl game.

    Asking why a Lieutenant General who does not meet any of the four codified legal requirements for the office he has been appointed is not exactly an unreasonable question, sir.

    Reporter: “Mr. Secretary, why did you select an under qualified retired lieutenant general to be the next chairman of joint chiefs of staff?” SECDEF: “I’m gonna choose to REJECT your unqualified question” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    If Tennessee manages to get Mike Gundy after all of this, Tennessee fans should be Time's People of the Year.

    I love it! I wish more sports broadcasts did things like this. Little nods to film and introducing action into moments that have none. I need to make a habit of watching more Mets games.

    I stepped away for like an hour and my notifications column is flying down my screen like the matrix now. What have I done?

    I am upset to learn he is not at all related to Sebastian Janikowski. Yet.

    Seriously, it is completely unacceptable that Woj still has the default “Sent from my iPhone” signature on emails. The email obviously should have said: FUCK YOU #wojbomb Please address this immediately.

    Not elevating Nebraska? I swear to god some of you don't even watch this sport. Nebraska lost to GEORGIA SOUTHERN the year before Matt Rhule got to Nebraska. Matt Rhule has more wins at Nebraska in 33 games than Scott Frost had in 47.
    Can I say something and y'all not get mad? Penn State dodged a bullet not getting Rhule. 6-2 this year with 1-score wins vs - Cincy - Maryland - Northwestern Blowout loss to Minny. He's not elevating Nebraska. Just beating teams where he has the much better roster.

    My sweet Emma had surgery today to remove a couple bumps. She handled it like a pro and is still the goodest most cutest dog to ever dog, even with a slightly mangled face.
