LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW WHO THE 🤬 THE TEXANS ARE!

We’re deeply saddened to learn of the passing of music legend Joe Ely. To us here at Austin City Limits as well as far beyond our stage, Ely was recognized as an icon – a maverick, genre-agnostic songwriter who gave performances that alternated between touching our hearts and melting down our cameras. Ely first appeared on the show in Season 5 and went on to appear many more times through the years. “Joe Ely came out of West Texas like a rocket and shook the ACL stage like nobody before or since,” notes ACL executive producer Terry Lickona. “As far as we’re concerned, Joe was and will always be a superstar.” bit.ly/48RnlMJ

I have, indeed, accepted a job at ESPN as a Senior Writer, focusing on investigative reporting, news analysis and feature storytelling across multiple platforms, including podcasts and television/streaming spaces. I want to thank Jimmy Pitaro, Burke Magnus, Chris Buckle, Mike Foss and Mike Drago for believing in me and providing this opportunity to join an incredibly talented staff. Two decades ago a handful of us - literally - sat in a small conference room in Sunnyvale determined to turn Yahoo Sports, a bit part of what was then mostly just a search engine, into a powerful and innovative media brand. The most rewarding part, however, was the many, many (too many to name) coworkers through the years who became like family. I’m grateful for the content, the culture and the loyalty we built together. For the passionate fans of the College Football Enquirer, thank you. The Pahd has been impossibly fun because of you. I’ll have more specific podcasting news soon.

Texans: get fumble recovery Refs: “ball goes back to KC and we’re giving them 15 more yards and a first down” Texans: get first down Refs: “offensive pass interference on not that wide receiver even though he didn’t touch anyone”. It’s still the first half. You can’t make this shit up.
