Thom Brennaman spoke with OutKick’s Dan Dakich on Friday, and the former Cincinnati Reds broadcaster talked about what his life has been like since he infamously used a gay slur on live TV.
In 2020, Brennaman was on Fox Sports Ohio broadcasting a game for the Reds. Coming out of a break, he was heard on air describing an unspecified location as “one of the f** capitals of the world.” He later apologized on the broadcast, during a Nick Castellanos home run that has since turned into a popular internet meme. Brennaman was fired for the incident.

You may have noticed that your Far Side desk calendar is looking a tad thin these days. We’re nearing the end of the year which means less than two dozen examples of classic Gary Larson wit and irreverence remain. That’s why I assumed we had seen the best colon cancer screening PSA we’d get in 2023, but then here comes Dak Prescott to sneak in a new leader in the clubhouse with just weeks to go.
PSAs are important. They’re public service announcements, so they’re trying to help you do you a service.
It’s a must-win week for many fantasy managers trying to get into the postseason. With that context, here’s a breakdown of each game and the players who could go off.
Sean McDermott has spent the past week or so in crisis management mode as one mess after another has landed on his lap as coach of the Buffalo Bills.
McDermott spent his last two press conferences with reporters explaining his side of events following a story at GoLong which quoted dozens of sources outlining reasons McDermott needs to be fired — among those his lack of accountability and also a 2019 team meeting in which he painted the communications skills of the 9-11 hijackers in a positive light.

Here’s the total purse breakdown for the NBA in-season tournament.
The NBA in-season tournament has been a certified success in its first year. The tournament featured multiple phases, starting with group play games baked into the regular season, then quarterfinals matchups hosted at the higher seeds’ home arena, and concluding with the final four teams going to Las Vegas for the semifinals and championship.
There’s not just grabbing rights on the line as the in-season tournament reaches its conclusion: there’s also money up for grabs.

Tiger Woods wants to see the professional game unified again after Jon Rahm’s decision to join LIV Golf.
Minutes after Jon Rahm donned his LIV Golf letterman jacket on FOX News, Tiger Woods posted a letter to his fellow PGA Tour players on his social media account.
As a newly directed Player Director on the PGA Tour Policy Board, Woods reassured his fellow members about the future of the PGA Tour—a circuit where he has 82 career victories.
Bills fans received support from an unlikely source in their quest to defend quarterback Josh Allen from his critics: ESPN’s Mike Greenberg. Greenberg, who is notorious for his fandom of the Jets, Buffalo’s AFC East rival, put his rooting interests aside on Friday morning during an episode of the network’s morning debate show Get Up.
Allen has been taking a lot of heat this year for his turnovers–he currently ranks second in the league in interceptions thrown–and the role those have played in Buffalo’s middling 6—6 campaign.
The much-anticipated crossover between ESPN’s NBA Countdown and TNT’s Inside The NBA during the league’s inaugural in-season tournament in Las Vegas certainly lived up to the hype Thursday night.
In one of several memorable moments, TNT’s Shaquille O’Neal called Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton by the wrong name on set—and then placed blame on an unexpected culprit.
“I … we … don’t get to see you play a lot. It was a joy watching you today,” O’Neal said to Haliburton after Indiana’s 128–119 win over the Bucks.
Bucks forward Bobby Portis criticized coach Adrian Griffin’s handling of the team’s late-game offense in the locker room after Milwaukee’s loss to the Pacers in the semifinals of the NBA in-season tournament on Thursday, Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report and TNT reports.
Griffin, a first-time head coach, began his remarks to his team after the game by emphasizing the importance of rebounding. That’s when Portis “quickly interjected and stressed how essential it is for Griffin to structure the offense down the stretch of games,” Haynes reports.
A high-ranking official has pointed the finger of blame at Patrick Cantlay for the £450 million Jon Rahm defection that has knocked the PGA Tour on to the back foot in the Saudi merger negotiations.
