THANK YOU FOR THIS. I mean that sincerely. Too many people are stuck in quippy Joss Whedon mode, and it makes me want to shoot myself directly in the face.

Lingo slop on team accounts is the “quippy church sign” of X.

Positions like this is how you get elected

Not sure I’ve ever agreed with anything more. This stuff is a plague. Can’t stand it.

It's giving highlights

I suppose this started with the "This is SportsCenter..." era of Dan and Keith punctuating the highlights with catch-phrases. Which I enjoyed. (I was also younger then).

Maybe teams should run 2 accounts. One run by a grizzled ex-player who just provides the highlights, and the other by a 25 year old communications degree holder with pop culture references.

The LPGA post highlight another flaw in the meme/patois driven posts - they are utterly lazy. As a ‘digital creator’ with access to proprietary clips you should be able to do a lot to create a piece of post game content that summarizes the contest in an enjoyable and quick to digest format. Instead it’s like they are competing to be the next @dril - and doing it badly.

Anyone else remember "The Lights" on NCBSN from around 2012 or 2013? God, it was great. Just highlights and scores.
