Wrote this when Ausberry was named interim AD. Still true!

Does telling your tennis opponent (who is at least 15 years younger) that I scheduled surgery on my other hip while up 6-0, 5-0 count as a chirp?

This story was written a decade ago btw. If you didn’t see any of these details in today’s coverage of Bobby Cox’s death, that says a lot about today’s sports media landscape.

It’s been a few hours since we learned that former Braves manager Bobby Cox died at age 84. When I learned how to write obits in j-school, we were told they should tell the full story of someone’s life. So leaving this amazing read right here. tht.fangraphs.com/mlb-turned-a...

Conspiracy theory: Those rumblings over a delay of the NFL schedule release (slated for Thursday) could have been because league officials were working to force Fox to make the Cardinals, Titans or Jaguars as one of the "America's Game of the Week" teams for weeks 1-10.

The @lastweektonight.com segment will clue you into these products and what little multiple administrations—and the current one, in particular—have done to police the industry. Props on the hidden mic work btw! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRZq...

[email protected] highlighted some of the dangerous dietary supplements available at gas stations (and many other places), something I first wrote about nearly two decades ago. 🔗 usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/2007-...

I am dyslexic, but even I know how percentages work. $100 to $600: 500% 🔼 $600 to $100: 83% 🔽

Some of my best reporting will only be seen by like a half-dozen people (for now). 🤞 you all get to see what I found for this true crime doc.

Oh hey! I apparently covered another story that was subject of a Netflix Untold. I think we are up to at least seven now. (Pretty sure this is my only story on this shooting so it's more accurate to say I "somewhat covered" this one.) www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Why is a member of Congress boosting an anonymous African account using “CONFIRMED” without a legit original report that Trump “wanted to invoke the nuclear codes as a deterrence against Iran” and the a general refused?

Quick thoughts on the Dexter Lawrence trade. A Saturday night #PFTPM is coming.

Spring is the best season for sports.

As far as novelty concessions go, the $18 Stuggy’s Crab Mac 'n Cheese Dog wasn’t bad (probably because it originated in Baltimore and not here in DC).

Dianna Russini didn’t just put her own credibility at risk. She jeopardized that of every other woman in sports, too.

The Athletic is (finally) out with its own Diana Russini story this afternoon. Russini and and exec editor Steven Ginsberg "did not immediately respond to requests for comment." Maybe The Athletic is having Slack issues? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/b...

It’s taken two hours on my only day off the week to find a pharmacy that has my ADHD medication. Nobody talks about the need for DEA reform for certain drugs more accessible to those who need them.

A post by Pakistan’s defense minister, as talks are reportedly set to begin within the next 36 hours between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran in Islamabad, under Pakistan’s mediation.

Freedom 250 Grand Prix tickets were supposed to be available starting around April 1. So far, it doesn’t appear any of the free tickets have been released for DC’s first IndyCar race set for Aug. 23.

The Sharks haven't made the playoff since the 2018-19 season and it looks like that drought will continue. Their defense is just so bad, especially when it comes to defensive zone giveaways and the amount of time they're stuck in their own zone. Grier & Co. have some work to do this offseason.

The FIFA Peace Prize has been tarnished, I fear

About 30% of Paramount's $81B takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery is financed by the sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi—three countries attacked by Iran since the U.S. started its latest Middle East conflict. (via @wsj.com) www.wsj.com/business/dea...

My seats aren’t bad today.

Really sucks there will be no beer or wine at Nats Park this year. Nats lost the opener.

Tiger Woods fought off hiccups and drowsiness after his DUI arrest last week. The new footage seems to back up the arrest report, which stated the 15-time major champ showed “several signs of impairment.”

The best part of the of the #NoKings protests is seeing millions express themselves peacefully. The second-best part is seeing MAGA folks responding with AI slop to match their unhinged view of reality.

#NoKings protests on five Route 7 overpasses in Loudoun County this afternoon.

@bobharig.bsky.social, great points on BBC News. Yes, we’d all love some candor from Tiger related to his non-driveway car incidents. There’s a first time for everything.

Multiple American service members were wounded and some aircraft were damaged in a March 27 Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia, people familiar with the matter told Air & Space Forces Magazine. www.airandspaceforces.com/us-forces-sa...

Dodgers so far this year have either scored 0 or 4 runs in an inning

Tiger Woods escaped with only a reckless driving charge (probation) when he was found passed out in his vehicle in 2017. Let’s see if 19th Circuit State Attorney Tom Bakkedahl will let him go with another slap on the wrist after another DUI arrest.

If I were an TSA agent and I saw these ICE officers sauntering around the airport joking with each over, collecting bonus money while I slogged thru another longass shift for no pay I would immediately quit and never look back. republicans wreck everything.

The motorsports community lost a good one over the weekend. Jim Michaelian, the former longtime president and CEO of the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, passed away at age 83 on Saturday. An amazing leader and as unflappable as they come. RIP www.presstelegram.com/2026/03/21/j...

Jurors deliberated only four hours before finding former WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr.—son of wrestling legend The Million Dollar Man—not guilty on charges related to millions of MS welfare funds he and his companies received.

Tear all the statues down. Rename the streets. You can remember his fight for farm workers, but the movement can’t obscure the fact that Cesar Chavez was a predator.

Spanish broadcast: “the only boring team at the tournament has been Team USA” #wbc

You just knew Venezuela would rally when Fox Sports broadcast this booth shot.

Project Hail Mary was much better than I expected—and my expectations weren’t low. The movie was adapted phenomenally from Andy Weir’s book. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze.

Back at this theater for the first time since the 2012 derecho hit (and knocked out the power). Just glad the meteorologists already screwed up today, so we should be good for Project Hail Mary.

Tonight, the Titans filed a notice that will appeal a federal judge's February decision in Brian Flores' long-running racial discrimination lawsuit that denied a bid by the NFL, Titans and other defendants to compel the case to arbitration. Full filing ⤵️ www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

The Freedom 250 Grand Prix, Washington's first auto race in 24 years, is scheduled for August. What can we expect, and what could go wrong?

NEW: Typically, a street circuit like the Freedom 250 Grand Prix takes a couple years to plan. August's race on the Mall is coming together in less than seven months. My @washingtonian.com story how this IndyCar race will impact the District in the months ahead. washingtonian.com/2026/03/12/d...

good luck to the national teams from countries donald trump doesnt like on not getting executed or sent to a slave labor camp i guess

$11 billion spent in just six days of war. $38 trillion in debt. Let's go the moon.

Details of Freedom 250 Grand Prix—an IndyCar Series race set to take place on the National Mall in August—are coming out this afternoon at news conference near the steps of the Capitol. Here’s the 1.66-mile, 7-turn circuit:

Showed the owners of the bar (Tarbenders in Leesburg, Va.) who graciously allowed us to shoot the sizzle reel (my fucking crazy ass true crime documentary I’m developing) and their reaction matched thee media companies we’ve shown it to.

Lawyers for Brian Flores filed an amended complaint as part of the long-running racial discrimination case against the NFL. The latest complaint includes the added Title VII (of the 1964 Civil Rights Act) charge as expected. Full complaint ⤵️ www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

I don't use this thing to pump the tires of my experise as a trainer, but one of my clients told me this week I am up for Best of Loudoun in the personal trainer category. (You can vote once per day, just like any other primary 😉.) www.loudountimes.com/special/best...
