Welcome to Screencaps, “America’s Best Daily Column,” as named by the readers. Screencaps, which publishes seven-days-a-week, is a mix of sports, pop culture, and emails from sane readers from around the world. This column isn’t for the coastal elites. Give us a week to steal your heart. Our track record is pretty good. Let’s have some fun.
Now we have guys like Blake Bible going to extremes to get into mid-season games with playoff implications. Police say they found Bible “drinking a White Claw while wearing a uniform from Axis, the security company paid to work events at the University of Tennessee, near the G10 ramp on Phillip Fulmer Way just before 3:30 p.m.”
The security company says Bible stole a shirt and hat that its workers wear at games.
My concern is that with a 24-team playoff, will we even get games where college-aged guys are willing to (allegedly) steal security uniforms to see games in-person? The important SEC and B1G teams will be able to lose three games and get into the playoffs.

Days after Troy Aikman didn’t dispute that he’s beefing with Joe Buck, the two were back in the same broadcast booth last night and let’s just say it was icy. Troy’s not in the mood. If you listened to the broadcast, it was all business. There was no banter. Aikman clocked in, did his job and got out.

Who gets Aikman’s job? I still say McAfee. He’s already traveling with the Monday Night pregame show and doing the MNF alt-cast.
• Keith R. writes: I am 60 years old from Pittsburgh. Just wanted to say I do not understand technology well so I’m not sure how I came across your column. I’m glad I did though, I love reading it. If I am able to subscribe I will. The best thing I’ve read so far was this morning. I listen to most sports on mute these days. I have a growing disdain for nearly every announcer and most analysts. So bad that I find myself not enjoying the game because I just criticize the booth. If I could watch the skycast on every game I would be happy. Most of the announcers are just Captain Obvious and I honestly don’t care about 99% of what they say. All I need is the down and distance and the crowd noise and I’m good!
Kinsey: Thanks for reading, Keith. I’m not going to lie, the OutKick pivot from being it’s own entity to being integrated as Fox News Digital’s sports division has been a work in progress. Some readers left forever. Many stayed. Many loyal Fox readers think I’m an idiot and they don’t get the column. That’s fine.
And then there are guys like Keith who come along. He gave the column a chance. Now he’s hooked. That’s the business plan working like a charm.

Let’s give a round of applause to Knobel Hunt, who will one day inherit the Kansas City Chiefs, along with his sisters Ava and Gracie. This guy is always overshadowed because he’s off working in New York City as an investment banker, which should get him ready to run a billion-dollar NFL franchise down the road.
Knobel broke the news Monday that there’s a new Swedish girlfriend in the mix. Between Gracie preparing to marry Trent Green’s son and Ava cheering at SMU, it’s a busy time for the Hunt family.
I’m not talking about a problem with a lack of holding the door for people. I’m talking about holding the door for people who are too far away from the door to deserve the door to be held open for them.

Should we be holding the door for anyone who is more than a car length away from the door? Should it be a half-car length rule? In this meme, the lady seem to be about a SUV and a half length away. I say let the door close on her.
