A slow start is a thing of the past, and the grind of the NBA season has done little to hinder Cooper Flagg's hype-exceeding rookie season: www.pressherald.com/2026/01/29/c...

New story: Cooper Flagg made NBA history by scoring a career-high 35 points last night. When the #Mavs needed his best, Flagg showed flashes of his superstar potential. "We’re all going to be witnesses to what he’s going to do for a long time." www.dallasnews.com/sports/maver...

ICYMI: Here's what it's like to watch Cooper Flagg play in his new home. www.pressherald.com/2025/11/25/w...

"oh, don't forget to highlight, in bright red, the two-letter word in the tagline! the two letter word that's kind of the whole point of this clever ad campaign! the two letter word that links this show to the horror movie of the same name!" "no problem boss. i'm on it"

Cooper Flagg's won everywhere he's been. The wins haven't been coming in Dallas, and though he's played well, losing has been an adjustment for the first overall pick. www.pressherald.com/2025/11/24/i...

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Dave Roberts is going to the Hall of Fame, and I have no idea if he’s a good manager.

Every team that has worn 70s/80s/90s throwbacks this year has looked better. Every single one.

Cooper Flagg on the mood after two disappointing losses: "I don't think it was great, if I can speak for myself. I know I'm kicking myself & I'm obviously not happy. I'm a little upset. I'm just a competitor. I love to win and I want to win as many games as possible. It's not a great start."

Tonight was the first time I've seen Cooper Flagg look like he was behind the pace. Defenders closed in on him, broke up his passes, poked the ball away from him. But he recovered, adjusted, and flashed the game we've been seeing. Finished with 10 and 10. Got bold and attacked. He'll be fine.

Miami being Miami, right on time.

Great story by @dbonifant.bsky.social on an inspiring youth athlete. www.pressherald.com/2025/10/14/a...

The Patriots' defense has been so bad, Zak Kuhr will probably get a game ball.

Addison DeRoche made her decision. Florida State it is for the Cheverus standout: www.pressherald.com/2025/10/03/a...

If you're wondering how Cam Schlittler is doing this whole playoff mastery thing...he went to Northeastern. There's your answer.

Tom Brady has a catering gig after the game

Cal Ripken too, in 1996.

Mark Schlereth is a good broadcaster. No schtick, no fawning over players (yet). Just gives you insight and walks you through the strategy of a moment.

Spillane is giving me Monty Beisel flashbacks.

The Sanford football team went through an emotional spring and summer after enduring the loss of a teammate. Thursday's win in the season opener was one the Spartans needed. www.pressherald.com/2025/09/04/s...

As Cooper Flagg's celebrity grows, the value of going home grows with it. www.pressherald.com/2025/08/09/f...

This was a fun project. @dbonifant.bsky.social and I took part in a roundtable discussion with @mikecurtis2.bsky.social and Brad Townsend of the @dallasnews.com to talk all things Cooper Flagg and how he fits in with the @dallasmavs.bsky.social. www.pressherald.com/2025/07/28/w...

We were likely just months away from a headline that read "Presidential Medal of Honor Winner and Acting Secretary of the Treasury Hulk Hogan Dead at 72"

Jacob Humphrey didn't hear his name called during the MLB draft, but he knew a team was interested. The call he was looking for came the next day. www.pressherald.com/2025/07/15/j...

Cool read from Hannah Kaufman on being a Tar Heel in Maine, being miles away from Duke, and finding herself in the home state of their hero: www.centralmaine.com/2025/06/25/i...

Just want to say, it’s been so impressive to watch how the Flagg family navigated Cooper’s incredible ascent. They managed to enjoy the journey and keep their feet on the ground, making smart decision after smart decision. His support system is reflected in his demeanor and selfless play.

My first column from tonight's NBA draft in Brooklyn. I'll have another later. #mesports #NBADraft www.pressherald.com/2025/06/25/c...

One more time: Jeff Turner doesn’t count as a Maine NBA player. Moved to Florida as a kid. Flagg is the first.

The player who was playing in KVAC gyms on winter nights in Maine three years ago just went No. 1 in the NBA Draft. I'll never be able to wrap my head around it.

reggie miller has described two consecutive made buckets as a "4-0 run" twice tonight. if he calls something a 2-0 run i will mail him $100

At this softball clinic, the mental game was bigger than hitting and fielding. My column: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/18/t...

Makes sense. Easiest way to blow a big lead is to shoot yourself out of it. More low-percentage shots being taken = more opportunity to shoot yourself out = more blown leads.

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

Addison DeRoche just took her first swing of the season and hit a ball about 50, 60 feet past the fence for a three-run home run. So she's back.

Cooper Flagg is heading to the NBA Draft, after one year at Duke: www.pressherald.com/2025/04/21/c...

AI will save us all!!!!!!!!!!!

“He almost brings us with him. He’s not just going out and telling about it, he brings us with him through his journey.” Good story about Cooper Flagg's strong connection to his hometown, and its strong connection to him. By @dbonifant.bsky.social
