Would you watch a “Russ Ranks The Runway” type show this season?
Every night breaking down the best and worse tunnel fits from across the league.
He’s the perfect guy for the job. Feels like @russwest44 needs to make this 👀
As we embark on another NFL Sunday…
I just love this story behind the branding of @CooperKupp’s coffee company.
DODOOOOOOO! 🦤
I just launched a 75 or Die Challenge on Instagram.
There are 75 days left in 2026, so I have 75 days to get the account to 1,000 followers or I’m shutting down Halftime Heroes.
I’ve been half-assing promoting the show and I don’t want to look back and ask myself “what if I just went for it?”
So here we go. Let’s chip away 🫡
And if you reallyyyyy wanted, you could follow along here instagram.com/halftimeheroes…
Just an all time list of file names for the trailer for my @HandshakeBets interview…
This crazy. NEED to know the price
Netflix has secured exclusive broadcasting rights to the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Spain and Andorra, giving the streaming giant all 104 matches of the tournament.

I love this story of @HandshakeBets first big break.
It just so happened to end in an overnight trip to @jakepaul’s house in Puerto Rico…
Full episode with the fellas is out now on YouTube youtu.be/wQ4vcSGfcD8?is=Tmh_…
“You’re going to learn this real quick, Ryan, the mute button I used on Around the Horn should’ve applied to me all along…” - @TonyReali
Every interview I do I start my guests with a 90-second rapid fire to get them warmed up. You know, sports show, gotta have a warm up. 90 seconds, soccer guy.
This was the first one I cut together and I can tell you right now, what Tony lacked in speed he made up for in enthusiasm.
But he will not have the Halftime Heroes high score…
Do we think pro athletes fold their own laundry?
Feel like there’s a show in there somewhere…
“X NFL Superstar Does Household Chores”
Always wanted to interview @GfedGoCrazy about 100 stadiums in 100 days…👀
“What is @TonyReali’s Top 10 for Around the Horn panelists?”
I finally got to ask the question I’ve wanted answered for the last 25 years…
The response was thorough, calculated, and everything I could’ve asked for and more out of a former Stat Boy.
What did he miss?
“The consistency will come very easily if you know what you’re doing every single day.”
For 23 years @TonyReali knew what he was doing every day when he showed up to work.
Then that all ended and he had to find a new path forward…
He studied up on being a creator for more than a year.
Experimenting, tinkering, and revisiting old ideas.
He eventually teamed up with his wife as a business partner to launch a media company debuting with his new show, “The Real Deal”
I spent my entire childhood watching @TonyReali after school.
We welcomed him into our early-2000s, sports-obsessed household with open arms.
20+ years later it was incredibly special for him to take a chance on a complete nobody for an hour-long interview about his new project.
