Most exciting about the Emmy nominations is learning which of the shows you've been watching for the past year are dramas or comedies

(Comedy was me starting with a super-praised episode of The Bear and realizing the big drama was whether they could assemble somewhat more sandwiches than they typically prepared in a shift)

Want to read a truly repugnant story about sports gambling and the Phillies superstar?

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

Funny story about Sean Payton designating a game as the "Oxygen Tank Game"

ESPN has an absurdly, needlessly long article about Sean Payton, with a few gems. First, his wife is named Skylene (her parents are Skylar and Darlene). Second, how he tried to motivate his team for a game against the Bills: 

"It's going to be an Oxygen Tank Game," he says.

Then it hits him: He wants it to be known as the Oxygen Tank Game.

...

He tells [his assistant] to order 100 or so small oxygen tanks to give to the team prior to the game, with special labels. Pursuits like this, cheesy and earnest, are about more than giving the players an artifact to put in their bookshelves -- more than about " making memories," as Payton says. It's about trying to orchestrate a feeling even before the outcome can genuinely generate it. And he's not done. He tells the video team to pull clips from movies where people suffocate in thin air. A few hours later, a folder hits his computer. He sifts through them, then stops at one. It's from "Everest." At the summit, in swirling wind, a climber is about to die. His wife is called to say a final goodbye. Payton is sold. A few things: he wants head shots of little Broncos pasted on the mountain, with Levi's Stadium in the distance; he wants the dying climber to have Allen's jersey number 17 on his jacket; when they call home, he wants to splice in a clip of Hailee Steinfeld, the actress and Allen's wife, talking on the phone.

Hours later, Payton watches the new clip. He likes it, but adds one more note: he wants "Harder to Breathe" by Maroon 5 to play as it fades to black.
