THURS 11/9 7PM EST JOIN @alex_squadron @russbengtson @david_j_roth for @SquawkinSports at @DSKBrooklyn. Hoops & Hops and books from @greenlightbklyn. Tix here! greenlightbookstore.com/event/squawkin…
Here is a thing I'm doing with 60 or so other writers and editors I admire a lot, a sort of distributed website that will either Restore The Internet We've Lost or just be a really, really good newsletter written by a bunch of different people. kickstarter.com/projects/thebr…
I wrote about the Diamondbacks, Baseball Prospectus's long-running prank war against me, and the fundamental importance and dignity of choosing not to quit. defector.com/when-you-avoid…
We've got @david_j_roth back on the show this week to discuss media reactions to Israel-Gaza war, Michael Lewis' new book on Sam Bankman-Fried, and the career of wrestler-turned-almost speaker Jim Jordan soundcloud.com/chapo-trap-hou…
PEOPLE: me and @matthiasellis are making a NEW PODCAST!!! It's called "The Pacific Northwest Insurance Corporation Moviefilm Podcast. It's a movie of the weeker, from a half academic/half stupid perspective. SUBSCRIBE, LISTEN, RATE, REVEIW! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
I wrote about a lousy literary genre rocketing into its self-satire phase, and my hope that Michael Lewis's Sam Bankman-Fried book will someday be appreciated as a comic masterpiece. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
I wrote about all the different things that the Orioles might be, if they decide to stop being the Orioles. Classic high-functioning Friday afternoon behavior. defector.com/nothing-is-pro…
I achieved some kind of hideous final form of myself by publishing 1800 words about The Exorcist and its (mostly) misbegotten sequels on a Saturday morning. Nowhere to go from here but up! x.com/defectormedia/…

It took some getting there but this episode manages to include two topics that get me heated enough to speak without too many caveats: credulous Heroes Of Capitalism books and the different types of good baseball team. defector.com/wild-cards-and…
This began as an attempt to exorcise a particularly diseased post that was haunting me and became more of a consideration of where posts that bad come from. defector.com/caitlin-flanag…
Here's ep 9 of 15 Minutes In Hell with @david_j_roth. We talked about how evil the NFL is, how sports teams use stadiums to scam cities, and what the hell is going on with Las Vegas baseball. wheresyoured.at/p/15-minutes-i…
Mayor Adams this morning at 11AM:
We had the Namedropping lads on the podcast today and it came out very funny, I think. Or, anyway, I got to talk about the elfin coin magician who shared my name and we also got to discuss Mac Jones's self-defense dummy attributes. defector.com/pinning-your-e…
Please join us for this one if you're around. We bought a bunch of old Starting Lineup figurines for the show but I don't know what we're going to do with them yet. x.com/defectormedia/…

I wrote about the one type of TV show that streamers can't seem to make, which happens to be one of the types of show that people most like to watch, and why they can't make it. defector.com/background-tel…
New Pursuit of Dadliness is up today: I talked with the wonderful @david_j_roth about Uncle Energy, Types of Guy, and being a fan of terrible sports teams. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
It's just me and Drew on this episode and we covered a lot of ground in a decently substantive way, I think, especially considering that we started the episode with a debate about what does and doesn't qualify as "hand stuff." defector.com/the-coach-prim…

Honestly, half the reason we even do Alumni March Madness anymore is because we're sickos who like to make @david_j_roth choose things like "who is better a guy who knew Epstein or the ceo of Carraba's Italian Grill?"

@hockeyinthecac @PFTCommenter @david_j_roth “Hey, thanks man” - David J. Roth, probably.
Here is "Big Beefy Baseball Boys," to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire," and reader, when I tell you i cried laughing so hard at this, it is not an exaggeration.
@CTowersCBS I’d like to start a petition to end every podcast with Big Beefy Boys!

It’s President’s Day. In 2017, @david_j_roth wrote about how Donald Trump’s worldview amounts to the sum of the dumb shit he saw on the cover of the New York Post in 1985, subjected to a few decades of rancid compounding interest. thebaffler.com/latest/the-pre…
Watched No Country For Old Men last night for first time in years. What a masterpiece. Couldn't help think it would be cool though to use AI to show Chigurh bursting in at the end of Ed Tom's speech for a shootout. Also to show Llewelyn's final shootout. Maybe he wins this time?
