This one hurts. Children of Sanchez was a special song for us in high school band. We played a marching band arrangement for parades and at all performances and it was awesome. Playing that led to me listening to and realizing just how great Chuck was.

It's been a wild month for me personally. I can't wait to get back with Rick Camp tonight at 8 pm for a new I'm Fat Podcast. I've actually had some stellar food experiences lately, so there's lots to discuss.

I'm proud to know Danny Parkins and this is just one of the reasons why. Get your donations in! Give what you can! Every cent helps!

Me, staring across the field at an NFL training camp practice: “I bet those guys are talking about protection adjustments.” The actual conversation happening across the field…

The NFL will own 10% of ESPN, which licenses its name to a sportsbook. The NFL will directly profit from sports gambling. Goodell said in 2017, “We still strongly oppose legalized sports gambling. The integrity of our game is No. 1. We will not compromise on that.”

Congrats Anthony (Tony) Gill!

Just buzzed through CHI/MIA tape. Easily the most impressive player I saw in the trenches was Austin Booker.

Sorry about your guy Herb Lawrence.

Important to remember the shifts in the national television with the new partners. Sure we’ll all need reminders between now and then so… Bookmark this

Teams with fewest nationally televised games in 2025-26: Bulls (3) Hornets (3) Jazz (2) Nets (2) Pelicans (2) Raptors (2) Wizards (2)

The Bulls only have three national TV games, two of them are on streaming only, and none of them are at home. The Reinsdorfs have made one of the league's signature franchises deeply irrelevant, and continue to get away with it.

preseason caveat, but thought Williams showed real control of the operation. Confirmed mike points, changed up the cadence (even got a defender to jump on a 3rd & long). really liked the rhythm he played with. The ball was consistently out with proper timing.

I had my closest call in a long time this week. I’ll tell the story tonight!

Episode 296 is ready! 💩 Rick Camp almost craps himself at Menards 🌮 Taco Bell brings back some faves for the Fall 🍗 Popeyes has some new wing flavors open.spotify.com/episode/4WNwDf…

I wish I could do this for the first time again. Just when you think the run is over, it keeps going.

We'll be live TONIGHT at 8:30 pm. Lots of taste tests, a White Castle review, and much more!
