July 30th, 2025 // Vol. XLIX // Hump Day

Welcome. Hope your Tuesday was fine even with the lack of Daily Boofy in your inbox. Happy:

• National Climb A Mountain Day (No, I don’t think I will)

• National Whistleblower Day (This is ironic, given that the Senate just confirmed Emil Bove despite multiple whistleblower complaints)

Let’s have a day:

QOTD 49: Do you use AI?

I’m not sure if this is contentious, but let me know on Instagram

Yesterday’s Results

It was a close vote, but the NFL edged out college football by a margin of 55%-45%. Personally, I fall on the side of college football thanks to the deep traditions and potential for chaos, but this comment from my friend Sophia perfectly encapsulates some my current thoughts:

“Personally I hate the transfer portal and what it has turned college football into (especially when combined with NIL) because I love that colleges used to have to develop players well enough to be able to use them a few years down the line instead of just focusing on who they can get from the portal to play that year and training younger players who will just end up transferring out because they either can’t get playing time or are looking for more money. I get there are a lot of differences still between college and nfl but these changes plus less profitable conferences slowly collapsing so schools can join big ten or sec is honestly upsetting and imo ruining what college sports should be to watch”

The sport is changing before our eyes, and I’m not sure that it’s for the better.
