"Longing on a large scale," DeLillo wrote in the immortal opening lines of Underworld, "is what makes history." The Knicks winning a championship is a reminder that, for all America's warts, sport remains its last shared religion. www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Latest podcast is a primer on what’s happening in the Middle East, with our correspondent former UNIFIL officer Colin Sheridan, and Dubai based reporter John Hayes. A good starting point for anyone who doesn’t know where to start! Find it at the link in bio #trump #netanyahu #iran #dubai #war

And thanks to @docrevan.bsky.social for sharing it and giving it oxygen. It wouldve been just another monday morning column otherwise, forgotten by the time the kids got home from school

Thanks to everybody who read this piece. Its intimidating writing about somebody elses sport, so to have so many read it and not be apalled meant something. Ive been writing about a lot of heavy things lately. This world series made me reconnect with the poetry of sport in a way i never expected
