John Kalmar @johnkalmar.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Graham, forget the quick takes, we need a full Sunday edition feature on Jaxon’s great grandfather, Earl “Chuck” Kohler, the Pearl Harbor survivor and WWII vet. Why don’t you write something? 030

John Kalmar @johnkalmar.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Any more insight about MSU not landing John Blackwell out of OLSM? The team was pretty guard heavy in ‘23/24, but it has to sting for Izzo knowing he was right in his recruiting backyard. 000
John Kalmar @johnkalmar.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Hey Brendan! If you’re still gonna be in Livigno tomorrow (I’m sure you’ll be working as a big-J journo during the pre-qualifying big air) but would accept my proposal of a Michigan-Michigan beer, shoot me a dm. Go Birds. 100

John Kalmar @johnkalmar.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Graham, as a quick-twitch athlete yourself, where do you fall on the tennis v. pickleball debate? Do you think anyone from this current crop of American men will win a Grand Slam in the next three years? 000

John Kalmar @johnkalmar.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Graham, for as much as you claim to love Maine (2nd to Marquette & Kalamazoo), where did your disdain for LL Bean start? I know you’re loyal to MuskOx, but for you to insult the flagship company of Maine raises some red flags. Makes me wonder how you’re allowed to visit after your disparaging digs. 010
