Adam Schefter and Ty Schmit of The Pat McAfee Show discuss the Cowboys trade for Joey Porter, Jr. and when he might get a long-term deal, the incredible slate of games in Week 4, who is going to start at quarterback for the Bears this week, the MNF game in New Orleans, the injuries in the secondary for Carolina, and then they unveil their weekly power rankings. 0:00 Welcome 1:54 Porter, Jr. traded to Dallas 7:42 Incredible slate of games in Week 4 12:30 A heat check moment for Ben Johnson 17:00 Major injuries in the Panthers' secondary 21:12 MNF matchup in New Orleans 25:00 Weekly Power Rankings Learn more about your ad choices.

Week 4 gave us plenty to unpack. Florida handled Ole Miss, Texas-Tennessee gave us an incredible finish, Wake Forest went into Louisville and pulled off the upset, and Michigan showed some encouraging offensive growth, including two 100-yard receivers, but Iowa and Kirk Ferentz found a way to win despite Michigan controlling much of the game. We get into the Dylan Stewart suspension and USC suspending Desman Stephens II after his celebration while Dante Moore was down following a huge hit. Then there's potentially massive news for the future of college sports: the Protect College Sports Act passed the Senate 77-22 and now heads to the House. Plus, the new AP Top 25 and Week 5 slate, NFL Week 4 matchups, De'Von Achane's season-ending injury, Minnesota shipping J.J. McCarthy to New York, and a scary injury to Wild defenseman Brock Faber as hockey gets underway.Live Show Tuesday and Thursday, 3pm est.SOCIALS: https://linktr.ee/drewberquistWEBSITE: https://AirItOutBro.com #DrewBerquist #Balls&Banter #Balls

On this week's episode, Ryan Rubinstein and Andrew Oja from our operations department and Alex Vigderman from our R&D team reviewed last week's college football action, took a broader look at the season as a whole, and previewed the slate of upcoming games.They analyzed both Oregon and Dante Moore and what history shows us about post-concussion performance, dove into Lincoln Riley's job security at USC, and evaluated Indian's running back injuries. They also highlighted Iowa's excellent defensive metrics, pointed out Jaden Ball's statistical improvements, and debated the worst losses of the week.Preview-wise they got into Pittsburgh-Virginia Tech, Alabama-Mississippi State, Kentucky-South Carolina, Michigan-Minnesota, and Ohio State-Iowa.Off The Charts features a blend of statistical insights, tactical analysis, and personal opinions, aimed at providing listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the week's key matchups and the intricacies of the sport.

Week 4 is here, and the EGS crew is breaking down the entire slate! After three weeks of football, we're starting to learn which players and teams are actually for real — and which early-season trends we still aren't buying.We go game-by-game through every Week 4 matchup, breaking down the biggest fantasy storylines, key players, matchups to watch, potential breakout performances, and the questions we're trying to answer before setting our lineups. With multiple undefeated teams facing off, the first London game of the season, and plenty of fantasy-relevant matchups, there's no shortage of storylines to debate.Every game. Every matchup. Every fantasy angle. Let's get into Week 4.

Comment sections are dying. At least, when it comes to digital media. Platforms like Twitter have become the new place for discourse, and apps like TikTok are changing what the comment section is even for. Slate's comments, however, are special. On today's show, host Kate Lindsay is joined by staff writer Luke Winkie, who dove into the lore of Slate's decades-old commenter community, and even called up his biggest hater to find out what keeps him coming back. This podcast is produced by Vic Whitley-Berry, Daisy Rosario, and Kate Lindsay. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Mais, en réalité, l'amitié est souvent raillée, considérée comme futile ou invisibilisée. Dans les films, les livres, les imaginaires et les récits que l'on fait de nos parcours, elle passe presque toujours à l'arrière-plan : la jeunesse terminée, elle devrait s'éclipser au profit du couple et de la famille. Elle est ce lien que l'on sacrifie volontiers les années passant, quitte à abandonner une petite part de soi avec. Mais pourquoi le couple romantique représenterait-il l'unique façon de cheminer avec d'autres dans l'existence ?Depuis quelques années, de plus en plus de personnes décident de revendiquer leurs amitiés et de s'engager pleinement dans ces relations. Elles y découvrent des lieux de joie, mais aussi de solidarité et de résistance face aux aliénations du système patriarcal, capitaliste et dans une période de grande incertitude écologique. Hétéros ou queers, entre femmes, entre hommes ou dans des groupes mixtes, elles et ils sont nombreux à réinventer, entre ami.es, des manières de militer, d'habiter, de consommer, de faire famille, de vieillir ensemble et, finalement, de prendre soin les un.es des autres.Mobilisant de nombreux entretiens, des références culturelles, des études sociologiques aussi bien que des textes philosophiques, Alice Raybaud montre que l'amitié porte une dimension libératrice puissante, qu'elle peut être une force de dissidence et d'émancipation. Elle appelle ainsi à réinventer ce lien, intime et politique, et à remettre nos amitiés au centre de nos vies."

Ainsi je vous déconseille fortement le site PARSHIP, qui pratique l'extorsion : on ne peut pas résilier avant 1 an obligatoire, même si on n'utilise plus le service, qui n'est pas satisfaisant, car très peu de personnes dans votre région. Le service client n'a que mépris pour les clients et le service communication ne veut rien entendre (un comble), aucun arrangement possible. Donc évitez-vous une dépense inutile.

Journalist Lizzie O'Leary spent decades asking sharp questions for a living. Then the words started disappearing. Brain fog. Surprising rage. A head full of buzzing bees.Lizzie, who hosts Slate's What Next: TBD podcast, was diagnosed with ADHD at 50 after perimenopause made her ADHD symptoms too powerful to push aside. Lizzie talks about emotional regulation challenges that hurt her career, sensory sensitivity she'd written off as quirks, and what she wishes she'd known when she was younger.For more on this topicListen: How menopause and hormones impact ADHD symptoms in womenRead: ADHD and emotions: What you need to knowWatch: Psychotherapist explains ADHD mood swings and emotional regulationFor a transcript and more resources, visit ADHD Aha! on Understood.org.
