The Walls are Caving in Around Brett Favre
Ole number four claims he really wasn’t a part of a scheme to defraud a welfare fund. He was just on the periphery and unknowingly caught up in it. Well Sports Illustrated took a closer look and says that’s a bunch of buillshit.

Zaslav Has a Brilliant Idea: Bundling Streamers
The Warner Brothers CEO has been criticized for his ridiculously high paycheck but now we know why he earns the big bucks. “It seems very clear that if we were to package this great product that we have with others, we would wake up tomorrow, and in each market, if we are the number one, or two, or three product, if we were marketing with the number two or three for a specific price it would be great for consumers. It would probably reduce churn. We would [all] be marketing one product. And it would provide a meaningful consumer experience.”
Where have we heard of that before? Oh yeah its called a cable company.
The business genius is pitching cable. Independently operated channels, available in one package, with a blend of ad-supported content and premium content with no ads. That's cable. It's cable tv. https://t.co/ULSrKvDrMZ

Roseanne Barr Calls Sara Gilbert Backstabber
In a recent interview on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Roseanne Barr blamed her tv daughter for the shitstorm that ended her tv career. “It wasn’t enough that she stabbed me in the back and did what she did to me there. But then she would go on her talk show every day and talk about how shocked she was at my racism on top of it.” Roseanne said she called Gilbert on it. “I said … ’You better shut your blankin’ mouth about me. I’m telling you, you better shut your effing mouth.’ And she did,” Barr claimed.
Maybe but you’re still a fucking racist.
Hyphenates Deal With the Question: So What Exactly Is Writing?
If a script is already finished but you’re also the director and you make minor changes- is that writing? Do you become a scab if you change a word? What if you’re a writer producer and you’re at a showrunner meeting? Are you writing?
One thing we all agree on…if you’re getting a check from Ted Lasso season 3, you’re not writing.
