College football (and all of sports) is changing—for the worse. John looks at the purported plan to adopt a 24-team college football playoff. The economics of professional sports leads to more and more games, more and more playoff berths, that dilute the value of any one game. John also discusses sports gambling and the "despair economy" of Gen Z.

Hershey's Biggest Nuisance

Doesn't Taste The Same 

Callers React

Philip Teresi takes a deeper look at a WSJ article that portrays Brad Reese as both Reese's biggest fan and Hershey's biggest nuisance. He spends his time celebrating the candy his grandfather invented while publicly challenging Hershey whenever he thinks the company is straying from the formula that made Reese's Peanut Butter Cups an American icon. Callers chime in with their sad experiences with new candies.

CHOCOLATE: Reese's Heir Becomes Hershey's Loudest Critic

The Most Annoying Tabloid Phrase In Journalism

DOJ Investigating Corey Lewandowski 

In a The New York Times Magazine essay, writer Nitsuh Abebe examines the tabloid headline staple “breaks silence” and argues that it carries more baggage than many readers realize. The essay isn't really about celebrities. It's about how language influences readers. Abebe argues that the phrase “breaks silence” turns privacy into a story, implying that people have a duty to comment publicly when, in many cases, they don't. 

The Justice Department is investigating whether Corey Lewandowski's actions while serving as a senior DHS adviser were tied to improper contracting practices or personal financial benefit. The inquiry stems from a DHS inspector general referral, remains in its early stages, and no charges have been filed. Lewandowski denies any wrongdoing.

BREAKS SILENCE: The Most Annoying Tabloid Phrase In Journalism

Influencer Accused Of Voter Fraud

Ukraine Starlink Still isn't Fully Restored

Mediaite, citing a report by The Bulwark, reports that conservative activist and election-integrity advocate Scott Presler is facing scrutiny after voter-registration records allegedly showed three people unrelated to him used his Pennsylvania home address to vote in the 2024 election. 

The WSJ story highlights a growing disagreement between Washington and Kyiv. While Trump says Starlink access has been restored, Ukrainian officials and soldiers say key restrictions remain, limiting drone operations and battlefield communications at a critical time in the war with Russia.
