Takes

I am paying for Twitter Blue because I earned my checkmark as a journalist and don't want to lose it

I have no shame in paying for it because I earned it. We have the slogan of flags fly forever. I earned my check mark a few years ago, so I'm not just gonna let someone take away from it. I grew up on Twitter hoping to have a blue check mark and one day I got it. So like, here we go. I'm keeping it.

Vin Scully is the best play-by-play broadcaster of all time

Yeah, no, definitely. He is the best play-by-play broadcaster of all time. He has moments that you could put in a dictionary. Like you could fill a dictionary with just thousands of pages... If I could have 1% of the success that he had, that would be a successful career. He is the best ever.

Coming on Pardon My Take is the easiest way to add to your legacy

Joe Rogan is officially uncancellable

Twitter decided to go full send and I'm going to tip my cap to the cancel brigade because they went for the final boss, Joe Rogan, and failed... He is uncancellable because he would actually let's say that Twitter was able to get his contract with Spotify canceled, right? He would just take that wave of publicity, go back to what he was doing before and still make a shitload of money.

The Stone Cold Steve Austin interview is on the Mount Rushmore of PMT interviews

Mount Rushmore. And I'm not even a huge wrestling fan. That was before my time, and I was still loving it.

The next Hard Knocks episode will be a massive disappointment because the Raiders won't show the real drama

None of this is going to be on Hard Knocks. Because the Raiders aren't going to fucking let it on Hard Knocks. It's going to be the most disappointing Hard Knocks on Tuesday night. They will touch on it, sure, but we will not see Antonio Brown trying to sneak in with a bad helmet... and it will be so fucking disappointing.

Marquette King is quitting the NFL to join Barstool Sports

Marquette King actually did a little bit of flirting with joining Barstool earlier today... he put up the peace sign on Twitter, meaning he was quitting to join Barstool Sports. Heard it here first.

iTunes doesn't exist in Canada

I don't even know if that counts for the iTunes rankings. I don't think they have iTunes in Canada, so we don't actually appreciate them, but we'll just say we appreciate them.
