Any chance either of you are attending the East-West Shrine Bowl practices or Reese's Senior Bowl practices? Big fan on yours and would enjoy meeting you in-person. I got media credentials for the first time, so I've decided what any other rational person would do. I am going to try and set a world record for driving 1,787 miles in under 120-hours to visit 5 SEC West stadiums while also covering 4 bowl practices. Fayetteville-Frisco-Baton Rouge-Mobile-Tuscaloosa-Starkville-Oxford-Fayetteville.

Just a reminder to Michelle, the Heisman trophy is not a video game... it doesn't go to whoever has the best stats. The award is supposed to go to players who exhibit great ability combined with diligence, hard work, and perseverance. No one epitomizes this standard more than Stetson Bennett despite her hot take. But thanks, I've been meaning to cancel my Athletic subscription anyway.

Nicole is the fun police. She always makes the show boring and she doesn't have any chemistry with Andy and Ari. She needs to leave the show.

We all have gone to fridge and opened it when we aren't hungry. But have you ever asked yourself why? Maybe it's because you know nothing's changed, yet you're hoping that it miraculously has.
