Bad miscall at the end by B.T. on @7afl.bsky.social. Worse ending for @carltonfcblues.bsky.social. There is no surer thing in life than death, taxes ... and a 4th-quarter collapse by the Blues.

At last, we have reached April 15. You know it as tax day. I know it as the beginning of white-wine season.

This is a new one for me. I have not seen the font go faster than the official clocks. But @primevideo.bsky.social has found a way. @nba.com

I have high hopes for this @pbs.org documentary in less than one hour on immigrant grooms on racetrack backsides. I have seen the first few minutes of it, and it looks like it could be a big positive for our game as was the Frederick Wiseman documentary “The Racetrack” in 1985.

The Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap draw with morning-line odds: 1 White Abarrio 7-2 2 Liberal Arts 15-1 3 Sovereignty 4-5 4 Duke of Duval 20-1 5 Journalism 5-2 6 Publisher 15-1

Bettors who are playing #TheMasters live with in-game plays, beware. The @CBSSports telecast has been several minutes behind showing key shots today. I understand a few seconds' delay to avoid showing waggles, but this is ridiculous.

Burns double-bogeyed 2, but @CBSSports still shows him tied for the lead. #TheMasters
