Big sports media news week so we called in Ryan Glasspiegel to make sense of it all. This conversation includes, but is not limited to…

* Is it okay to do a story on how many people watched the scary situation?

* The Football Hatin’ New York Times

* Skip Bayless as the moment’s memetic scapegoat

* Ryan and Ethan…don’t quite see how Skip’s tweet was that bad.

* The building divorce between Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe

* Ethan is against “disgusting” and “gross” Twitter responses

* Stephen A. Smith addresses UFC impresario Dana White’s wife slap incident

* Do we think reigning USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter’s going to lose his 2023 position over a 1991 kicking of his now wife?

* Is Ryan’s affiliation with Ethan going to ruin his Madison Square Garden plans?
