something very cute and fun to me that i don’t Think is acknowledged in the game at all? but in the highschool test friendprogram and waterbottle are “late for class”, when ‘badfriend’ was also still out in the hallway during the cutscene where the teacher yells at them over it, and once it’s over ‘badfriend’ is also at a desk. i like to think they snuck in right behind waterbottle and the teacher genuinely didn’t notice

It is race week! 7 days to go. An Ironman sucks. So why not do a 70.3 the next day? I am always looking for the next challenge, and this one is going to be a great test. #ironman #imwaco #ironmanwaco #waco70.3 #swimbikerun #endurance #mentalstrength #motivation #behardonyourself #dbap https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjc_XIwL2c_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The food you find at a sports stadium is almost as iconic as the game itself.  What would baseball be without peanuts and Cracker Jack, hot dogs and plastic cups of frothy domestic beer?  You can, of course, find those tried-and-true standbys at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. But, since deliberately changing its food strategy a few years ago, the home of the Bulls has come to boast a local food lineup that even a major-league ballpark might envy.

Last season, Moe's Southwest Grill gave way to a second location for Gonza Tacos y Tequila; this season, local pizza slingers Pie Pushers replaced Papa John's.  The key to the ballpark's culinary success is Bull City Hospitality, which took over the food franchise starting with the Bulls's 2015 season.  This was a year after the park reopened with a multimillion-dollar facelift, which the Bulls's parent company, the Capitol Broadcasting Corporation, had taken as a chance to re-examine the park's hospitality side, too.

Food and drinks had been the responsibility of Centerplate, which runs concessions for several large stadiums around the country.  But when its CEO, Des Hague, was caught on video kicking a dog in the summer of 2014, it made the decision to build an in-house hospitality operation even easier.  The CBC launched Bull City Hospitality as a separate business entity from the Bulls, but one complementary to the stadium's operation.

"If the Bulls sat back and said, 'Hey, we want to try this promotion' or 'We want to develop a relationship with this vendor,' it wasn't like you were talking to someone else that had another boss, and you had to sell them on it," says Dave Levey, Bull City Hospitality's director of food and beverage.  "We talk about it as a team."

Prior to Levey's arrival, there were a handful of Triangle-based vendors peddling their treats at the park, including Locopops and locally owned franchises of Chik-fil-A and Rita's Italian Ice.

But now, there are about a dozen local vendors, including Makus Empanadas, Hog Heaven Bar-B-Q, and fried goodies from The Kupkake Fairy.  The stadium's impressive local beer list includes Raleigh's Lynnwood Brewing Concern, Wake Forest's White Street Brewing Co., and Durham's Bull Durham Beer Co., yet another company that falls under the CBC's Bulls-related enterprises.  There's even a stand to buy fresh fruit cups from the Durham Co-op Market — an unexpected hit.

"The amount of fruit we sell here, it's crazy," Levey says.  "Hundreds of dollars of fruit cups a night.  They sell out most nights."

Levey thinks bringing a variety of local vendors to the ballpark also helps the in-house concession operation stay focused on keeping the basics great.

"A lot of times we sat back and said, 'Let's make sure that, from the Bull City Hospitality side, we're sticking to the core items that you would expect at a ballpark,'" he says.

Of course, one of those is hot dogs, which have been subjected to serious scrutiny.  Levey says that, in his experience, most people favor all-beef hot dogs over other varieties, but a blind taste test of more than twenty franks revealed that the two-meat Bright Leaf brand from Carolina Packers remained the favorite at Bulls HQ.

"Carolina Packers is not necessarily famous for their all-beef hot dog.  They're famous for their red hot dog," Levey says of the famous regional oddity whose ingredients — spoiler alert — are identical to its brown counterpart.  "The red hot dog has always been a two-meat hot dog, pork and beef."

And anyway, celebrated all-beef hot dogs brands such as Nathan's and Hebrew International don't have the right credentials for the DBAP menu.

"They're good hot dogs, but they're not from North Carolina," Levey says.  "If we can do something local, we'd rather do it local."  If you want to take your ballpark hot dog experience to the next level, opt for Hog Heaven's 'Cue Dog, which is topped with pulled-pork barbecue and coleslaw.

There are strong signs that Bulls fans prefer local fare.  National pizza giant Papa John's still sponsors the Bulls, but there wasn't quite enough business at the seasonal spot to justify keeping it open.  Levey went looking for a solution that wasn't Domino's or another major chain and found an eager candidate in Pie Pushers.

The Bulls' 2018 season started at the beginning of April, but already, Pie Pushers is significantly outpacing Papa John's sales.  Beyond that immediate payoff, Becky Cascio, who co-owns Pie Pushers with her husband, Mike Hacker, says that their relationship with DBAP carries the benefit of bringing the Pie Pushers name to a new audience.

"It's a nice challenge and addition to what we were already doing," Cascio says.  "It's another place to be involved in Durham, and it brings a whole other crowd."

The Bulls' famous "Hit Bull, Win Steak" billboard looms over left field, billowing clouds of smoke out of its nose when the home team knocks one out of the park.  But athletic excellence isn't necessary to find good food with the Bulls — in fact, you barely have to get in the door to do it.

Tim Miller at The Bulwark: 

Last month, Clay Travis’ podcast had the most listeners since its inception.

This is noteworthy since Travis is a sports journalist and his podcast is, ostensibly, a show about sports. And there haven’t been any sports in America since March 11.

How did Travis build his audience at a time when total podcast downloads, nationally, are down?

Like many other businesses, Travis’ has had to reorient its product offering. For instance, you may have seen that most restaurants switched their focus to take-out and delivery. And that movie studios have abandoned the theatrical release and sent films straight to video on demand.

It’s Business School 101. When you’ve been disrupted, you find other pathways to viability.

Clay Travis decided that, in the absence of sports, he could find a market niche by offering pseudo-scientific rants about how the media was overhyping coronavirus. He told listeners that the disease would only kill “a few hundred people” and that he doesn’t “believe it is going to impact hardly any of us at all.”

And it turns out, however off-base this was as a moral or intellectual matter, it was an excellent business decision.

Travis’ anti-media screeds found an audience of listeners looking to both have their political priors validated and an enemy they were comfortable hating. Which is how this unlikely sportscaster found himself as one of the most prominent voices lecturing the media over their anti-Trump “fear porn” and telling Americans to just “chill out” when it comes to COVID-19.

True, all of this made Travis a notable contributor to the misinformation campaign that led many people to not take COVID-19 seriously. And yes, at least 16,000 Americans are now dead from the virus in spite of the dramatic actions we’ve taken to stem its spread.

For those of you who’ve never heard of Clay Travis until just now, a quick primer and a personal disclosure.

Travis is a multimedia sports news personality with a successful empire that includes a website, a podcast, a streaming social media show, a radio show, appearances on Fox Sports, and more. He first gained notoriety writing a truly entertaining book, Dixieland Delight, chronicling his travels to SEC campuses over the course of a college football season, while still working as a lawyer. Off the success of the book he dropped his day job and began writing full-time for sports sites such as Deadspin (RIP) and AOL Fanhouse (also RIP).

[...]

In 2011, Travis saw an opening in the sports media market and launched the site Outkick The Coverage. It was modeled after Bill Simmons ESPN Page 2 and took a more fan-focused, irreverent, and gambling centric approach to covering football, particularly the SEC. It was great.

As the site grew, Travis saw an opportunity to expand his reach with anti-PC hot takes at the intersection of sports, politics, and culture under the moniker #DBAP. That stood for “Don’t Be a Pu$$y.” To guys of a certain age and disposition, this was hilarious.

But it was also a smart business move. Travis recognized that the audience he had built off of SEC football takes was feeling alienated by a mainstream sports media that they saw as increasingly liberal, “woke,” and fundamentally hostile to their world view. There was a disconnect in the market. The legion of readers on an SEC football site were far more culturally conservative than the writers and TV personalities at the Washington Post, or Sports Illustrated, or a certain Bristol-based media company.

In 2015 as Trump’s political fortunes rose and the Colin Kaepernick controversy enveloped the sports-talk world, Travis became these peoples’ champion.

He trashed Kap and windmill dunked on the worst ESPN moves—like when they took the Asian-American announcer Robert Lee off of a UVA broadcast for fear of some sort of Confederate backlash.

From there, Travis waded into more straight political and cultural commentary, taking stances that made alt-right adjacent trolls giddy. For instance, he opposed Vanderbilt University’s decision to take the word “Confederate” off of one of their campus buildings. As he got more and more attention, he eventually decided to go full edge lord. He asked ESPN if they’d take Caitlyn Jenner’s ESPY away if she transitioned back to being a man. He said the word “boobs” in an appearance on CNN.

For a lot of people who followed Clay from the start, this was a notable shift. After-all he wasn’t a natural political ally to your median MAGA-hatted ’Bama fan. Travis had voted for Barack Obama, worked for a Democrat on the Hill when he was in school at GW, and had claimed he had never voted Republican in his life. He self-identified as a “radical moderate.”

This background gave him the patina of credibility even as he was serving meat red enough that it would consistently fit right in on Fox prime time.
