Yesterday was a long day. I did manage to get outside a couple of times and show my respect for summer as the temperature here crept up into the 90s, but I was worn out by the time dinner rolled around.
I don’t know if I didn’t properly prepare for my relief appearance or what. But today’s a new day, hump day, and I’m going to give today’s edition of Screencaps all I have on this summer day at the end of July.
We’re going to take a page from Livvy Dunne’s playbook by making difficult things look easy, or something like that.

The former athlete turned model did some Baywatch promotion on Tuesday on social media with an announcement in the iconic red one-piece. She wrote, “It’s a tough job @baywatch.”
Now, because I’m down with the younger generation, I know tough has more than one meaning, and I’m sure that’s what Livvy meant. But I’m choosing to turn the viral post into a bit of inspiration here.
That shouldn’t be too hard to do. We’re talking about a three-time MLB All-Star who has four Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editions to her name. That all came from viral TikToks and a collegiate gymnastics career.

Livvy’s now in the reboot of an iconic show and she’s making all of these difficult things look very easy.
Let’s get to the emails. There’s a victory lap that a few of you out there in Screencaps Nation would like to get to.
Odds and Ends

SeanJo,
I’ve never sent meat before so here’s our latest spun up chicken. Biggest of the summer at almost six pounds. We’ve found it’s a fairly hassle-free way to have a great meal and it doesn’t heat up our non-AC house.
I had a great one-day summer outing in my Bronco with my neighbor who drove his Jeep. Did 100 miles on gravel and sometimes barely there roads over three Idaho mountain passes. The photos are Antelope Pass (9,000 feet) looking east, heading into Copper Basin, and a side trip up Wildhorse Creek. We had a great reminder to be prepared as we ran into a 12 inch aspen tree that fell across the track at about 50 miles in. This isn’t the kind of landscape where you can just drive around it so we took out our chainsaw and cut her up. It’s remote too as we didn’t pass or meet another truck until hitting Copper Basin at about 60 miles in. Super day; even caught four cutthroat on a dry fly.
Lastly, the video link that Joe used Monday for mountain lions feeding behind our house didn’t work for me. Here’s the correct link if anybody wants to check it out.

Thanks for filling in for Joe. Anybody else notice SeanJo’s extra helping of eye candy?

Thanks Marty for sending in your meat. I’m glad you’ve joined the growing number who aren’t afraid to do so.
We don’t judge around here.
The views of Idaho are great. Keep those coming as well. Thanks for the support. There’s a lot of work that goes into these posts.
Ryan Clark reporting
– Jim T. in San Diego writes:
Okay, as a forty-year veteran of the news business – reporter, editor, columnist – and someone who taught an upper-division journalism course at a prestigious university, here’s what I don’t get about this whole ESPN v Outkick v The Athletic situation regarding former on-air talent Ryan Clark:
When Outkick called for comment, reportedly ESPN reached out to a reporter at The Athletic as the ESPN brass apparently dislikes Outkick and preferred The Athletic get the scoop.
And here’s where I’m lost.
Isn’t ESPN a sports news outlet? And isn’t The Athletic are least somewhat competition to ESPN?
Why not have your OWN staff report on it?
I survived numerous rounds of layoffs at the newspaper I worked at longest and, to be fair, our company almost never covered them all that well (although we surely never fed the announcement to a favored competitor!). We’d have a short article the next day announcing the total number of layoffs, and a canned response from the publisher about how valued these employees were. (And his sentiments weren’t faked – I knew the publisher, and it tore him up having to let people go. But the advertising model was in free fall and he couldn’t spend money he didn’t have.)
But I don’t believe we ever named those who were let go. That was left to the local alternative outlets, who’d start bombarding everyone at our paper to find out who was let go.
Other papers across the country have done the same: announce the layoffs, not the names.
I get the desire to protect your laid off folks from public embarrassment – getting laid off sucks. Been there, trust me.
But when it is patently obvious that the details ARE going to become public, isn’t it better to make that announcement yourself? Take away some of the breathless drama which I’m guessing is even more embarrassing?
If there are actual privacy laws surrounding this so that the company doing the layoffs is legally prohibited from naming names, that I can understand. But I’ve yet to see anyone ever say that on the record. “We had to eliminate 10 jobs today, but privacy laws prevent us from telling you who they are.”
Instead, the competition begins poring over future editions to see which bylines have disappeared. Or, in broadcast, whose shows or slots are gone.
The fact is, under defamation law, anyway (which obviously differs from privacy law), most journalists can be considered limited public figures. They carry influence in their market, and their work can be fairly criticized to a level other professions cannot because journalists are considered to have willingly entered into the public arena in a way, say, a sales executive or mechanic has not.
So Ford not naming the factory workers being laid off makes more sense to me than ESPN not naming the on-air talent whose jobs were eliminated.
Screencaps Nation is large and well-connected – perhaps the 90 percent or more of your readers who are smarter than me can explain this. (For the handful who are NOT smarter than me: Good lord, people, who gets you dressed in the morning?)
SeanJo
Hey Jim, thanks for reaching out. I can’t tell you what ESPN is thinking. Perhaps, there’s someone out there who can.
What I can say is that what OutKick reported on the topic is accurate.
ESPN was contacted and given time to respond. ESPN evidently wanted another outlet to report it first. Why? I couldn’t tell you.
Screencaps takes a victory lap after Cracker Barrel CEO steps down
– Jim T. in San Diego also sent the article announcing the Cracker Barrel CEO news:
Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino steps down after ‘woke’ rebrand sparked backlash from customers — and even Trump

– Mike sent the article my way too and got the party started:
I forgot Joe wasn’t around and that you’re at the helm, but I think we can all appreciate the fact that this woman can no longer cause harm to the storied brand of Cracker Barrel.
– John C. in Bowling Green, KY writes:
Hey Sean! You can read the thread, but I fired a reply off to Joe regarding the update on my Thursday email which he posted in the Friday Screencaps column. I didn’t realize he was out this week. Outkick gets results!
Here’s that thread:
I’m crediting Screencaps with this scalp! 🤝 Now, gimme my grits and no upcharge hash browns back!
Also, I would like to add that I have been going to Cracker Barrel since the original restaurant opened just off I-40 in Lebanon, TN. It was a routine stopping spot with the family on the way to and back from UT football games in the 70s. It’s personal! 😉
SeanJo
The CEO might be out, but are the “grits and no upcharge hash browns” going to return? Time will tell on how all that ends up playing out.
I do know that you don’t mess with a man’s grits and hash browns.
