I’m sad about the Washington Post. I grew up in Northern Virginia and the sports section was my go-to in the morning. Great coverage especially of high school sports. There will be a huge void that hopefully something can fill. Washington loves its sports and I feel like that section in particular was a big driver of the paper in general.
Also sad about NSD and recruiting in general - used to devour all the coverage and read every article about every kids’ visit but there’s too much flipping and transferring to get as invested as we used to. The transfer portal is pretty exciting at this point so I guess some of the energy is shifting over there.
Spot on about the Darnold thing. The "bust" label gets slapped on QBs way too fast when really its the organization that failed them. I've always thought teams drafting high stay drafting high for reaons beyond just talent evaluation, and seeing Darnold thrive now with actual support kinda proves the whole point.
Take a page outta that pizza guy’s playbook and start selling some Pony merch! That hat for starters
I want a Show Pony Ponderings logo t-shirt!
LFG!

Word on the street is donor fatigue has already set in on college football NIL.
Darnold did not throw a touchdown pass dispite winning the Super Bowl. Sorry, I would not want him on my team. Boring red head.
Pony- I agree with Henny! I need a Show Pony Media hoodie! Eric from Omaha.
