Raiders fan snaps photo of Taylor Swift’s look with sign at Chiefs game, shredded NFL referees and parents gone crazy

Welcome to Screencaps, “America’s best daily column,” as readers have called it. Screencaps, publishing seven days a week, is a mix of sports, pop culture and emails from sensible readers around the world. This column is not aimed at coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our record is pretty good. Let’s have a little fun.

Let’s start this Tuesday morning at the University of Arizona where Parents’ Weekend is planned and let’s just say the moms and dads have been working hard this year. Remember those stories in the media lately about how parents are steering their kids to party schools…so the parents can party?

Here’s how it played out this weekend in Tucson:

I I have to admit that last week I went to Cracker Barrel with the text group before golf and had a nice breakfast

It’s no secret that I absolutely hammered Cracker Barrel management, particularly Rachel Maddow’s glasses-wearing CEO Julie Masino, last year after she decided to turn an expensive institution into another elitist suburban breakfast joint like First Watch. OutKick absolutely hammered this lady to the point where she finally quit in August.

Last week, before golf, we were in trouble. We needed breakfast, but time was running out. Cracker Barrel was close to the course, so we stopped. I went with a breakfast pan that had a bunch of stuff piled on top of biscuits and gravy. Diesel had a meal of bites of steak. Canoe Kirk had a pan with bites of steak.

CRACKER BARREL FOODS DISCONTINUED THAT FANS ARE SUPPOSING TO RECOVER

The food came out QUICKLY. It was hot. He looked fresh. And they threw us a basket of cookies. Now the pan wasn’t cheap. I think it was around $13, but when we left I admitted I would come back.

Dare I say Cracker Barrel IS BACK? (*THIS IS NOT STOCK ADVICE. DON’T EVEN TRY TO SUE ME OR FOX*)

LAS VEGAS PRICES SQUEEZE DAILY TRAVELERS AS POPULAR CITY EMBRACES COSTLY RENOVATION

The State of Vegas in 2026: Downtown Dice Gambling Isn’t 24/7

I haven’t been to Vegas lately and that’s probably for the best, because every time something comes up about the state of the gaming industry, it gets more depressing with each passing year. Then news like this pops up where some downtown casinos offer craps only on weekends. Sure, the Strip is booming and there are football games to attend and Metallica is in town, blah, blah, blah.

The more I think about it, the more grateful I am that I got to experience Main Street Station and piss on the piece of the Berlin Wall they have in the men’s room, before its soul was ripped out.

THE NFL SAW WHAT TAYLOR SWIFT DID FOR RATINGS – NOW THEY’RE PLANNING A QB ROMANCE FOR GEN Z: REPORT

Is this a good fan sign? You make the call

Speaking of Vegas, this guy is making Taylor Swift fans lose their minds on TikTok. “Awww, he probably worked so hard on that sign,” a guy named Andrew responded to The Goat’s video. You have an idea of ​​where the answers go from there. A woman named Melissa said: “I’m a Raider fan but this is stupid. 🙄”

Let’s put one more here. “While you’re sitting on the sidelines and she’s literally in the suites,” Jamie pointed out.

Does it matter to you if college athletic departments hire AI robots to cover their teams and write feature articles?

Lee D. of Tampa pointed out that on Monday, Washington State announced it was hiring bots to “reduce the time spent creating game recaps, features, player biographies, award nominations, transcripts and other editorial content.”

I wonder if AI bots are scouring the internet for player information written by humans in order to create their AI bot content. Let’s see how it goes.

Random Thoughts From a Screencaps Veteran Email

– Rob in Florida knows how to email this column: Hello Community, a quarter of the way through the football season, some thoughts.

Influencers – It started with Tay-Tay and TK, I was sick of them then, I’m even more sick of them now. For God’s sake, NFL, you have one of the best products in the world, as the movie says, “You’re messing with a company that owns a day of the week.” For what? Why do you have to do this? Why do we have to be subjected to games in Brazil? Why do you have to bombard us with constant photos of influencers in the crowd wearing their boyfriend’s jersey? Why do your officials stink of toast? Fix the officials, stop pointing out the bimbo in the crowd and play the damn game. By the way, college games have it figured out now, you can’t go five minutes of a college game without the camera panning to some poorly dressed coed in the student section. Coincidence? Probably not, these women know exactly what they are doing, they get followings, sponsors and off they go.

Tailgate – I love a good tailgate, get there early, grab a few cheap beers, get in the game, perfect. I never understood the over-the-top antics, jumping off the table, dousing your friend with condiments, yelling at fans of other teams. But then again, whatever the grumpy old man thinks, just do it, boys.

College – You are crazy if you send your 18 year old to a big university now. Between tuition, Marxist professors, and cost, start with the small community college and keep your 18 year old at home for a lot less money. Look at the major campuses today, do you want to subject your son or daughter to this? Look, I was an idiot at 18, if you had sent me to a college town I probably would have died of alcohol poisoning. Parents, in a past life I worked at a bar that had college parties, the kids aren’t doing well, don’t feed them to the system. Look carefully what’s happening at Cornellwatch very carefully.

Quickly, just a thought, with the aforementioned abundance of influencers appearing at major sporting events, do you think Screencaps have anything to do with it? You had a bit of a head start by regularly featuring Instagram girls in your columns. I don’t blame you, you’ve been doing this for a while, the formula hasn’t changed much, hot girls, sports and culture. You’re not the first to do this, you’ve just refined it, like Henry Ford refined manufacturing. Maybe the leagues realize what you’re doing, they’re just copying what has been a very successful formula. Have Screencaps changed the sporting landscape? By the way, don’t change anything…

Kinsey: Thanks for the compliment in that last paragraph, Rob. Look, these schools and teams have sucked the fun out of sports with their BLM rallies on Instagram and their lectures on Facebook and in the media. If I’ve played a small role in these institutions that are all about fun, sexy women, drinking beers and enjoying life, then Screencaps is completely honored.

It is also confirmation that this project was correct from the beginning. People want to start their day with a boost of energy. Screenshots are that jolt.

And with that, I have to send Screencaps the III to school. I’m on duty this morning while Ms. Screencaps takes care of Screencaps Jr.’s chores. So, I’m going to go look in the school queue and analyze things. Maybe I come away with content, maybe not. Stop by tomorrow to find out.

Go have a good day.
