Signature challenge on Great British Baking Show is “American-style cookies,” and I’m fascinated by what the bakers think that means.

This is a great story on one of the most stunning records in sports based on how long it has been held: Norm Van Brocklin's 554 passing yards in a game on this date in 1951. www.si.com/nfl/rams/his...

The History Behind a 75-Year-Old NFL Passing Record That Still Stands

Norm Van Brocklin’s single-game record of 554 passing yards was even more unlikely than most people realize.

Oracle Park scoreboard just showed a salute from Rick Monday to the retiring Mike Krukow. Monday homered and hit two singles when Krukow made his MLB debut at Wrigley Field on September 6, 1976.

Five years after the 4+1 game, I wrote this remembrance. Somehow, that was 15 years ago. But I still like it. September 18, 2006: Here comes the end of the world www.dodgerthoughts.com/2011/09/18/f...

The saddest part of Colin From Accounts season three is that there won’t be a season four. Loved that show (which once ran on an old network called Showtime) from the start.

Wonderful pair of stories celebrating Eric Sondheimer today. Couldn't be prouder to have learned to cover high schools under his wing in 1989. Covering preps is the ideal training ground for becoming a sportswriter at any level, and no one has done it better than Eric. bit.ly/4qvASC2 bit.ly/4xgyhyq

My god, this is so sad. She jumped off the screen as a kid actor in stuff like Remember the Titans, and she was a huge part of the Heroes s1 phenomenon. Nobody cares about “save the cheerleader, save the world” if she didn’t make them care about the cheerleader.

The novelist @legroff.bsky.social, whose body of work I have been absorbing like a sponge, was born in Cooperstown. Not surprisingly, she is the only writer I have ever seen use "Spaldeen" in a simile.

Yesteday, I read the first 50 pages of The Fire Agent by David Baerwald. So far he has introduced, by my quick count, 33 characters. No judgment, but I'm needing to keep a cheat sheet.

When I got my first full-time job as a sportswriter in 1989, my first interview and article was a feature on a 17-year-old shooting guard from Kennedy High School in Granada Hills named Garret Anderson. I'm absolutely stunned that he could be gone so young, and so sorry for his loved ones.

Although I gather that a 1 cm logo does the trick for some, I feel that there have to be better ways for the multitudes to identify which teams drafted these players.
