Why would you watch election coverage when you can watch an Ohio kicker named Peacock miss a field goal against Akron?

Speaking of TV ratings, the Week 9 numbers are in from Nielsen: Fla-Georgia (ABC): 7.1M Ohio St-USC (NBC): 6.6M Minny-Indiana (CBS): 4.9M Miami-UNC (ABC): 4.6M ND-Navy (ABC): 4M Wis-Iowa (FOX): 3.3M Ariz-T Tech (ESPN): 2.5M Miss St-Texas (ESPN): 2.1M ASU-BYU (FOX): 2.1M
After years of growth, college football TV ratings are down on nearly all the major networks this season. The SEC continues to dominate and the Big 12 is up, but the Big Ten and ACC have tanked. What's behind the decline? I did a deep dive on the data. Gift link below.

DID YOU KNOW? NBC has installed special equipment in its studio that allows Steve Kornacki to remain on set all night but blocks his voice from being heard when he's speaking only to the audience for his streaming only channel

AP exec editor @juliepace's great advice for tonight: “Be patient and prioritize facts over speculation. Votes can take time to count, and the absence of an immediate answer doesn’t mean something is wrong. At AP, we’ve been counting votes and reporting election results for more than 175 years. A big lesson from all that experience is that getting it right matters more than getting it first.” cnn.com/newsletters/reliable…

Not funny, some people still haven't recovered from the 2024 Hurricane Season, some lost everything, some lost their lives.
Classy, since people are still feeling the effect of this #WorldSeries

Rant time...Dear Media & silly fearmonger accounts, the "polar vortex" is present 24/7/365. Its there EVERYDAY! Its just the Arctic Jetstream. It doesn't just come and go as it pleases. Ugh what happens is the jet get weak and creates troughs & brings cold air south. 🙄 – at Caribou, ME
