Haiti, Senegal, Ivory Coast & Iran are in the World Cup, but fans won’t be able to travel to the U.S. The White House shows no sign of easing travel ban. FIFA says it won’t press the issue. Their long-shot? If NYC Mayor Mamdani can get Trump to relent. My story: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

“Members of Congress are pushing for a showdown with the World Anti-Doping Agency… (they) say WADA must choose: commit to greater transparency or say goodbye to U.S. dues payments.” @tjquinn.bsky.social @mikerothstein.bsky.social @espntr.bsky.social www.espn.com/olympics/sto...

This might be the one issue where the U.S. Congress is united: a demand that the World Anti-Doping Agency show greater transparency if it ever wants to see another penny from the United States. With my colleague Mike Rothstein: www.espn.com/olympics/sto...

For the crowd that followed Brittney Griner’s saga, here’s an exceptional piece by @danigilbert.bsky.social about what Marc Fogel’s recent release means for hostage diplomacy. It’s a significant shift. No one knows this topic better than Dani. goodauthority.org/news/politic...

Marc Fogel, detained in Russia, is now free.
Is Marc Fogel’s release part of Trump’s Russia strategy? Hostage recovery is also a made-for-TV policy win.

Had training on a good AI tool yesterday and heard again how it can save brain energy and spare us from tasks like thinking about what to write in an email or a thank-you note or any other mundane bit of writing. What struck me is that, for a writer, that’s like saying take the elevator and…

Thinking about the time someone asked Bobby Valentine about Ichiro, who was still in Japan. He said, “he’s one of the five best outfielders in the world.” I said, “as in Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr…” “Yes.”

My god it was fun to be around Uecker. When you went to Milwaukee (preferably in the old park), getting a brat and sitting with or near him meant listening to the greatest storyteller/comedian you ever heard. He was part of what made the game great.

“Gannett & Reuters’ play here is for Wall Street to move in on & capture the less savory element of AP’s business — helping local news outlets paper over the loss of local reporters w/ filler journalism, ironically in many of the communities that armies of laid-off Gannett journalists used to serve”

I’ve argued for years that a Rock & Roll HOF is antithetical to rock & roll and serves only the money behind a lousy business. Here’s an excellent treatise:

Covering Rickey Henderson was one of the great joys of my job. He was a genius. An alien. And somehow, despite holding the all-time records for stolen bases and RUNS SCORED, WHICH IS THE WHOLD DAMNED POINT OF THE GAME, I swear he’s under-appreciated.

Over the years I have built up a small collection of worksheets/guides for navigating life in graduate school. I'm happy to share them, and I would love to see other people's. Anyone want to do a swap with me? Maybe we could create some kind of repository to share these resources more widely?
