Speaking of 1 Winning Pod, Peter was on Derek’s new podcast and I enjoyed the episode thoroughly. If you liked our jersey takes, definitely watch this episode and Peter’s blind ranking.
I genuinely can’t believe there is a home Ravens football game this evening. Now that 1 Winning Pod is retired, it really snuck up on me. Last night Jason asked me to join him for his Wednesday live stream to discuss the game. Check it out!
A very depressing day for birdland. Trying to remind myself that we should have the opportunity to resign Ceddy and O’Hearn but it’s not helping. Hopefully the excitement of watching some youngsters get their first big league experience will help in the coming days.
Finished my #SFB15 draft today and am looking forward to seeing how this team fares. The back half of the draft is a “self parody” per my friend Derek and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Had to cleanse my palate after some of those early picks that made me sick.
Had a great time drafting at #SFB15 in Baltimore. Thanks M8 for hosting! Drafted a lot of players I don’t like… but THYWSFB
I joined Ken this week to discuss how he scores offensive line play each week for the Ravens. He has been doing this for nearly two decades and I think he has quite a well measured approach. I was excited when he asked me to join the show as I requested a breakdown of his scoring system a few years ago.
iOS 26 Beta 3 Liquid Glass Regression
I anticipated Monday’s beta release as I assumed beta 3 would likely be the first to have a chance to update the Liquid Glass material after the initial feedback from developers. Disappointment would be an understatement – the light mode glass material is so incredibly frosted in some places it looks more like older materials than Liquid Glass. I run my phone in dark mode all the time, and luckily the glass updates there are a far better compromise. It almost feels like a bug how much they pulled back on the light glass material. Keen to see how the redesign settles down by the public release and over the coming years.
The big bill of bullshit has many far worse policies, but one of them will impact the football world in a roundabout way. I discussed the changes coming to gambling taxation with Ken and how it will likely impact the future NFL salary caps and potentially the use of void years. I would be curious to know how much NFL revenue comes from sports books.
My good friend Derek launched a podcast and I was his first guest. I really enjoyed the conversation and look forward to more episodes. Derek is a super talented person, genuinely funny, and I think he’s found a great format already. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts or watch on YouTube.
Starting a podcast in 2025
The world doesn’t have enough podcasts, we know this lol. Anyways, once upon a time I had collection of posts about how to start a podcast. It referenced Skype – that’s how you know it’s outdated.
These days, I recommend just using a web based tool like Riverside. It handles the local recording for guests so you don’t have to worry about teaching them how to record, manage file transfers, etc. Also the provided editor does a really nice job that doesn’t require learning a new expertise or hiring someone like me.
I hear microphones are hard to get a hold of because of tariffs, fun! I still recommend something like the trusty Audio-Technica ATR2100. Learn proper mic technique. Have fun.
