I feel like ESPN is at a crossroads right now with all the changes in media.

Brighton will not be able to keep De Zerbi as manager because some other clubs with more money will back up the truck filled with cash outside his house, and a couple more players that will want to play for the glamour teams after this season.

People like to watch Nascar races and cheer when the cars crash into each other, people slow down and stare at car crashes when they drive by, there is a kind of pleasure from looking at a complete wrecked train of an organization.

Today's dose of stupid engagement bait that was suggested to me in the trending sidebar from the desktop application

Overuse and over reliance on proper nouns, even for an epic fantasy streaming show.

Cutting Dwayne Haskins raised the marked value of the Commanders by so much money he had to break off a chunk for the family.

The twitter rival/copycat in India is called Koo, and it has more of a pro-Modi community model, and there is some snappy name for the pro-Modi online followers like Bakhti Boys or something I can't remember.

Okay, I took the engagement bait tweet from the australian youtube guy and clicked through to watch his reaction video and the guy is sitting in a room filled decorated with star wars and other toys. If you want to get engagement from an angry fanboy tweet then the original is a work of art, he has just the right combination of hashtags and twitter handles to get results and views and Ryno Raging can enjoy his day for being the most viewed middle aged guy who is acting really angry about a Disney Star Wars episode.

Matt Le Tissier had a reputation for being lazy for most of the game then popping out of nowhere for a ridiculous long distance game winning goal

I am noticing just a lot less engagement from some of the journalists I follow. I see people with ten thousand to forty thousand followers who only get a single digit like count, and not a single comment or quote tweet after sharing dozens of updates. I follow some major journalists who used to get dozens of replies and now only get a couple here and there, with more then half being off topic spam or junk. Click through counts, the thing that so many people want, have always been dismal for twitter. Its like the official site of people sharing links without reading the article.

Dial Square FC finished the season with a loss to Virginia Water, but they had already secured promotion to the Surrey County Intermediate League Western Premier Division next season.

I was able to catch the first half of the game broadcast. Bayern were really impressive they way they were winning the ball and getting it down the field and generating chances over and over again. The first three goals were wall within the flow of the game. Upemecano got one that looked like a video game highlight but was changed to an own goal off the keeper. I was frequently reminded by the commentators that Bayer is a well coached team.

I was flipping through the channels I get on my antennae and now there is German fosseboll pregame.

Kowloon Walled City is infamous among urban planning, architecture, and people who study poverty and human development. The city block on the edge of Hong Kong was immortalized in a coffee table book of photos of its inhabitants a long time ago. The aerial photos before it was demolished are frequently shared as examples of the most intense kind of urban vertical environment. It was even in a Van Damme movie from street level back in the day.

I watched it by binging the series over a couple weeks. The whole thing felt tedious and pointless at the end. Not bad enough to tell other people not to watch it, but not good enough to really remember enjoying most of the time spent watching it. The art direction and other parts of the show just seemed uninspired, not very interesting.

I live close to a school with a team in the Pioneer League that plays against other schools that don't offer scholarships. The NFL has found two guys from this one non scholarship team in my time living here. If you have the talent, the scouts will find you. P5, Power 5, D-II or D-III, wherever. Maybe a generation ago baseball scouts had a better reputation for finding guys than the NFL scouts. But that was a long time ago and you rarely hear about guys going to Canada or the semi-pro ranks before getting scouted by the nfl.

The zombie movie and similar shows and video games have been an oversaturated and over done market for the past twenty years. There are just too many movies, shows, video games, graphic novels, you name it, with the same tropes and storylines over and over again. They keep making money from fan bases so a show like The Walking Dead and its spinoffs just keep going well past their expiration date. I finished a couple of playthroughs of TLOU2, its nowhere near as bad as The Walking Dead. The whole conventions and repetitive nature of all zombie media just needs a shake up. Im kind of interested in whether a good tv producer could really nail the next season. The tv show is part of a big picture strategy for Sony to turn its single player game IPs into franchises and expand their fanbases and keep them relevant while their competitors multiplayer and free to play games are basically minting money with microtransactions and leaving the single player titles in the dust money wise.

I can't get enough of the pictures of Bert when he was young and athletic and good looking

The cable television era was a blur of bad movies endlessly repeated. Trash shows rerun over and over again. The channels that made more educational, documentary, or informational content first served to give cover for media companies to move their bigger channels in a trashier direction. Later the History, TLC, and other non fictional programming channels slowly morphed into total staged garbage reality tv chud. There was a social aspect, every middle class family would feel like it had to have cable, you would feel like you were missing out if you didn't have the bundle with thirty channels. The streaming era is less profitable in the big picture for the studios and distribution channels. They aren't collecting money from subscribers, carrier fees, sponsorships, ads, or bundling low quality channels/content with the highly valued stuff. There are more original programs being made today, and the cost of streaming is cheaper and fewer ads if you only subscribe to one service at a time. Nearly every rerun you could ever want is also available. Its just a little more convenient compared to the big thick wires and cable that dudes would drill holes into plaster walls in order to install back in the day.

PSG every year in the Champions league knockout stages

Cody Gakpo works with a performance consultant or personal video analyst from a company called Tactalyse. The tactics coach watches all his games and analyzes everything from his posture to where his eyes are or his positioning and running in space. The guy just puts in tons of work off the field to turn himself into a guy who can get up to speed in the PL just a couple months after playing in the Dutch league.
