Welcome to Pitiful Takes: The Blog

The Take

We have a blog now.

The podcast was not enough. Forty-five minutes of yelling about sports doesn’t do this podcast justice, so now all the horrible takes are in writing.

What goes here

  • Takes that didn’t make the episode. Somebody always gets cut off right before their best (worst) point.
  • Receipts. There’s nothing better than roasting your cohosts on awful takes.
  • Predictions. Logged with a date, so nobody can get hindsight bias.

The Pitiful-meter

Every post gets a score from 1 to 5 on how pitiful the take is:

  1. Actually Reasonable. EXTREMELY rare. Can’t miss these.
  2. Mildly Questionable. You could argue it, if you know ball.
  3. Pretty Pitiful. Most of what we say.
  4. Deeply Pitiful. The host chat is going to have a field day with this.
  5. Career-Ending. We’ll be hearing about this one for years.

This post is a 1. It’s all downhill from here.
