hi i'm Greydon Grey IV, chief marketing exec at Grey Uniforms Inc. Here's why we think your NFL team could use some grey uniforms: —gets away from your team's iconic color sets —does not look good —extremely forgettable —looks bad —could easily be confused with any other team —looks like crap

In 2010 was invited to do an ESPN Radio junket in Bristol. It gave me a real life “This Is SportsCenter” moment when we’re walking to the cafeteria and Barry is sitting on a bench in a suit smoking a cigar. He paused, nodded, said “boys!” and went back to smoking.

THREAD. A while ago my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the worrying weeks dragged on my dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time & inhabiting art's most iconic scenes. What he produced (& how quickly) was phenomenal...

watching Spain win the World Cup felt like watching my dog, Tayto, who craves Ball and is not exactly sure what to do with Ball but would rather die than spend a second without Ball
I don’t think it’s fair to say my dog, Tayto, likes having ball. He needs having ball. 

Is Tayto happy when ball in mouth? Perhaps. But when ball NOT in mouth, he is shaken. (Quite literally, he violently shakes when ball not in mouth.) If you throw ball, you might think from the ferocity and passion with which Tayto chases ball that he enjoys playing fetch. Wrong. He does not enjoy playing fetch. He is merely trying to minimize the milliseconds he is without ball. Ball, to Tayto and many others, is life. 

So it is with Spain. Spain won the World Cup by having ball and being driven to madness by every moment they did not have ball. What do they want with ball? This remains unclear. Occasionally, they shot the ball into the opposing net, perhaps out of obligation, perhaps just to see how it felt. In a tournament filled with spectacular strikers breaking goalscoring records, scoring felt like a side quest for Spain, a diversion from their ruthless, fanatical need to have ball at all times.

In a full suit, Mayor Zohran Mamdani jumped into one of the city’s public pools on opening day. Our City Hall reporter, Katie Honan, asked the mayor in April whether he would commit to the dip — a tradition that former Mayors Bill de Blasio and Eric Adams skipped.

I've expanded the graph. Personally, mine veers a little towards Coach Dad, but remains firmly in The Lawn Zone™
The graph above, with colored zones of different types of dad.

Strongest Touching Grass, in order from Trekkie to sports fan: last remaining Sharper Image customer, mandatory yearly fishing trip, Coach Dad.

Leans Touching Grass to true neutral, from Trekkie to sports fan: still wants to be John Wayne when he grows up, still goes to see rock bands with multiple dead members, The Lawn Zone (trademark).

Big Bookshelf half of graph, from Trekkie to sports fan: don't touch Daddy's minifigures they're not toys, has a favorite war, your father is in the garage, baseball autism corner.
