Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Disney is bleeding money. I've said this in other threads on other subjects but Disney is cutting tons. National Geographic fired all its writers and are going to become basically a travel magazine. The parks laid off 7000 people earlier this year and are planning to layoff another 2000 to 5000.
Disney takes everything that men enjoys and turns it into a feminine shit fest.

ESPN considers adding sports leagues as partners as it transitions from cable to digital
ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro says the network could take on a sports league as a minority partner as the network continues its transition from a cable channel to a digital company.

Can someone explain why this makes any sense for the Leagues to partner with failing ESPN? ESPN is just the middle man with programming such as Monday Night Football and Sunday Night Baseball.
The Leagues can cut out the middle man and broadcast on their own networks. They can keep the profit for themselves and it’s sustainable since they aren’t price gouging the cabling industry to pay for their product like ESPN has done traditionally.
I would guess it would cut cost on games. Only thing I can think of other than getting free on screen talent by following players or having them do analysis instead of just post game interviews.
