I wake up later than usual on a Sunday and check my email. I’m subscribed to get newsletters from Cronkite News biut it hasn’t come out yet. I skim it and see that Cutter Boley is the starter for ASU football this year and see a thing about bullpen catchers. I’m mostly interested in sports news. There are a couple other things but nothing that specifically interests me. I also check my instagram account. I’m subscribed to a number of sports accounts like ESPN. I see that Aaron Donald is speculated to come out of retirement. I’m also subscribed to the New York Times and follow them for any big news.

My fantasy draft starts and I accidentally draft Chase Brown in the second round because I had him and Amon-Ra in my queue and when I went to press Amon-Ra I accidentally pressed Chase Brown and then my brother drafted Amon-Ra. Midway through the draft a friend of mine sends me a Yahoo sports article about Aaron Donald officially coming out of retirement and signing a 1 year 20 million dollar deal.

I check my email again and see that the Cronkite Newsletter came out. I skim it and see that Cutter Boley is the starter for ASU football this year and see a thing about bullpen catchers. I’m mostly interested in sports news. There are a couple other things but nothing that specifically interests me.

I checked bleeding green nation which is a philadelphia sports blog for the official 53 man roster that came out today. I see that Uar Bernard, a player that I thought had a lot of potential and looked like he could be a defensive star in the coming months, didn’t make the team. I also saw that Donation Wicks is our number 3 receiver which surprised me because I really expected it would be Hollywood Brown even though he didn’t have a great camp.
I’m on Instagram a lot so I thought that I’d take in a lot more media but instagram doesnt really have that much credible news or stuff that I watch. My feed is mostly sports videos about primarily philly sports things and fantasy sports mostly just highlights and not a lot of new information. My feed is usually dominated by that stuff but more so right now because the NFL season is starting very soon and my fantasy draft is coming up. I didn’t check it again all day after my fantasy draft because as I previously mentioned I made a kind of bone headed mistake that I would rather not revisit. I’m subscribed to new york times and I always skim it but nothing ever really jumps out to me at least nothing that I haven’t already heard about. Over the summer I checked I saw stories about Lindsey Graham’s death and Mitch McConnell’s condition but those were things I already knew about from just general word of mouth. The only news site that I check very frequently definitely every day is bleeding green nation which is an Eagles blog. I need to check more news sources for legitimate news. I also need to be more on top of checking news that isn’t just sports related. I dont want to do that on instagram because I dont trust insta reels for my news nor do I trust my algorithm to not get dominated by politics and war which I do not want.
