I just want to thank @jon_wertheim for thinking whatever I do was a story and @sinow for publishing it. I never thought Sports Illustrated would ever write about me, but they did. Wow. si.com/media/2021/05/12/the-…
I don’t know anyone in my life who watches podcasts on Netflix.
Netflix’s video podcast push is far from over awfulannouncing.com/netflix/…
POD: @DownGoesBrown returns to discuss @TheAthleticNHL new book ranking the top 100 hockey players. Also, the @Brewers win the World Series, @HKane is boring, and the @Saints stink. OLT on my indifference towards Halloween.

That’s too bad, Arsenal. Calafiori takes a knock and they can’t even beat the 18th place team in League 2.
I’m actually really happy for Gattuso.
#Sassuolo 2-6 #Lazio
Lazio are cruising at the top of the Serie A standings after thrashing 10-man Sassuolo 6-2, despite Stefano Turati saving two penalty kicks, after Kristian Thorstvedt saw red.

POD: @TonyReali debuts to talk about life after @espn, thinking about sports like @Bourdain thought about food, and being Italian-American. FTF on Italy’s big week in @ChampionsLeague and the @Saints win(ish). OLT on @PearlJam’s 10th birthday.

Great feedback on the debut of @TonyReali. We also had @bySLPrice and @MikeVacc before that. This week on the show @DownGoesBrown returns to discuss The Hockey 100. podfollow.com/thesportscaste…
No running game. Poor offensive line play. Awful first half game plans. We have the guy at QB. Let’s fix the other stuff.
Nah. I don’t even care about this we aren’t the first choice stuff. We weren’t the first choice when we hired Sean Payton. We tried a similar approach with Kellen and it just didn’t hit. Just take another swing. Someone good is going to want to come work with Shough.
Legit next Saints head coach options that are gettable, I’d start with Rizzi. You won’t get the #1 ‘hot’ OC target. They’ll choose NYJ, TB, or LAC over you, even if Loomis isn’t making hire. NOLA isn’t an appealing destination. Adjust your expectations accordingly
CEO head coach is more appealing to me with the QB In place.

My girl @PaulaBennett23 always here to rescue me from the misery of @Saints football.
Yep.
Saints center Erik McCoy said the run game struggles are putting too much pressure on Tyler Shough "to do everything" ... and the results follow: ‘I think Tyler is a baller. I think he is the future of this franchise, and I just feel like we put a lot of pressure on him today, and that’s not fair to him.”
I don’t know. They have been behind by double digits in 18 of the games he has coached. The first quarter is always a disaster. He’s completely void of emotion and is monotone. His team can’t run or stop the run. What does he do well? Let him finish the year, I guess, but the writing is on the wall.
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda…
Still true.
Can’t run. Can’t stop the run. Turnover battle lost. Missed field goal. That’s going to get you beat every single week.
It’s crazy we only have 10 points. It feels like it’s been better than that. That’s the Saints. Could have, but didn’t.
