And for the 45th year in a row, my No. 1 TV show was New York Islanders hockey, which is also the worst show I've ever seen and will continue to see for the rest of my life.
Had a great time as always talking to @wrestlingbrain.bsky.social about this weekend's All Out. Should be another fun AEW PPV but there's a lot of questions. Is Willow's hand 100%? Will Cope/Christian retain the tag titles? Who on Earth was asking for Ciampa/Okada in 2018?
Our AEW All Out preview show is going live on YouTube NOW. I am joined be @seantcollins.com and @cultureoflosing.bsky.social to go through tomorrow nights PPV, make our picks in the matches, and any predictions we have for the show: youtu.be/zY8t34ejbNY?...

Wrote about Brayden Schenn, his insane 19 game (19!) rollercoaster as a New York Islander and what a "successful" season looks like for him. Spoiler: I have no idea, but I like the idea of the "Schenn-doza Line." www.patreon.com/islandersanx...

Our long national nightmare is over. Now people can start writing about when Adam Fantilli will be traded to the Rangers, Devils, Hurricanes or Penguins.
Last night The Zubes brought a new game to the show. It’s the 70s game show Card Sharks, but with Cagematch scores. This was too fun. Its on our YouTube now. youtu.be/Rg1ngpgN3lw?...

If there was the concept of a "replacement level band," I think it might be .38 Special.
There’s a new captain, a new assistant GM, a new minority owner, a new (actual human) winner of the third jersey design contest, and a new streaming home for the team with the worst name we’ve ever heard. www.lighthousehockey.com/islanders-an...

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

I'm disappointed by everyone in this Polymarket ad. Alexandra Daddario needs a new agent.
You cannot get me to care about Taylor Lorenz, Hasan Piker or any of the other online-only personalities that keep getting brought up here.

My daughter (16) was recently talking about how much she hated those boring CCD classes with no one she knew. I told her that mom and I had went through the same thing when we were teenagers and now we're bonded for life with those same hours wasted.
Catholics do a great job of this. Nobody who went to CCD has ever joined a cult. They're too burned out.

Having your head buried deep up your own ass all summer has consequences.
Also today: Red Wings interim GM Shawn Horcoff said Dylan Larkin suffered an upper-body injury this week during training and won’t be on-ice at the start of camp
My daughter: "[person] on Dancing With The Stars did his routine to 'Since You Been Gone.'" Me: "Kelly Clarkson or Rainbow?" Her: "Kelly Clarkson, obviously." Me: "Then I don't care." (I like the song and her but using Rainbow's version or Russ Ballard's original on DWTS in 2026 would be sick)
