Posts Wed eveningPhiladelphia to Brentwood is 690 miles. St. Joseph’s Prep had never played a Tennessee team.
Y’all asked for the series back, so it came back with a hawk in it. Two reels: the road trip, then the house.

Take
600 Miles
The number that shipped wrong. The model rendered 600 into a locked cover and a finished master, and it got past three human reviews while every note in the folder said 690. Headlines, dates and scores have been rendered locally as cards ever since — the picture gets generated, the words don't.
Take
The Seedance take
One of five A/B rolls from a different model, all rejected. Cheaper, and the eagle came back a different bird each time.
Still
The tailless hawk
Tease A dropped the rust-red tail feathers and read as a second eagle in a dark jersey at thumbnail size. The tail feathers are canon now; this one is the record of why.

The poll under the reply bar
The first Monday draft put the poll sticker where Instagram draws its reply bar. It looked fine in the editor, which doesn't draw the reply bar. The next draft moved it, and the bottom of every Story is now measured before it posts.
Pitches that lost
A player spotlight
A night-game angle built around one BA player's line from the week before, on the same field the next Friday.
Why it lost Held for a later week. 690 Miles and Bloodlines worked as a pair — road trip, then house — and a spotlight wants its own week rather than a Thursday slot.
Animate a still you've already approved. Generating motion from text re-rolls the character on every take, and the kit drifts mid-shot. Cheaper is a side effect; on-model is the point.
