Happy Pokémon day!

Tinkle Time:

We know the Commies and Jaguars are heading to London in 2026 but who will join them? Broke it down in my latest story: bookies.com/news/2026-nf...

I'm biased but my wife & her team at @phoenixnewtimes.com knocked this year's Top 50 Restaurants list out of the park (as per usual). Read em and weep (or eat, I guess): www.phoenixnewtimes.com/food-drink/5...

Asked my parents for an Onion sub as a gift and I’ll say that stories like this have led to some much-needed laughs in what’s been a roaring tire fire of a year so far…

Doing some March Madness story research for @rotowirecbb.bsky.social & here's an interesting tidbit: The last team ranked atop the 1st March AP poll to win it all that year was ... Kentucky in 2012.

For my 1st @rotowire.bsky.social story post brain surgery, I tackled which MLB players 25 and younger are poised for breakout seasons in 2026. Here's what we came up with: www.rotowire.com/baseball/art...

It’s good to be home…

Happy 1st Beer Since My Brain Surgery On January 28th Friday everybody

Live look at me after watching 60 minutes of gold medal women’s hockey

So great but also, ESPN has had 15 years to get this going. Keep in mind it owned the rights to WNBA, NCAA women’s sports and all four Grand Slams at the height of Serena’s dominance. People pitched these shows. The network didn’t just find out about women’s sports.

Knew all those hours of methodically looking at Wikipedia pages of random cities/countries would pay off eventually… www.maptap.gg February 19 100🎯 91👑 98🎯 73🤗 100🎯 Final score: 906

“You’re good enough, you’re strong enough, and gosh darn it, people like you” — Freya, probably

Shoutout to Robert Duvall for blowing up a urinal at the Severn School in Severna Park as a teenager, thus giving my hometown something to be remembered for…

The U.S. women’s hockey team head coach giving off definite “ran out of fresh clothes so fuck it we ball” vibes with his tie/shirt combo today

The Baltimore Banner's EIC Audrey Cooper announced in an email to staff that The Banner will expand its coverage to include D.C.-area sports teams, including the Nationals and Commanders.

Either Jackson Merrill or the dumbass that’s been tabbed by Bari Weiss to anchor CBS Evening News

Ladies and gentlemen ,,, YOUR 23-0 Arizona Wildcats

A little news out of Tucson: Arizona’s signed Brent Brennan to a contract extension through 2030. Deal includes salary boosts for OC Seth Doege & DC Danny Gonzales

Recovering from brain surgery normally: not fun Recovering from brain surgery right now: still not very fun, but at least there’s Olympic hockey to watch while doing so

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

Well … it’s been a week. Wound up in the hospital Wednesday night after falling at my parents house and discovering the brain surgery I had 20 years ago needed to be redone. Shouts to the nurses and docs at St Joseph Carondelet for fixing me up. Guess this means I’m a Tucsonan again for the week…

Arkansas fans looking at the Razorbacks' schedule in 2026:

My 1st newspaper job was in "Southern Pima County" covering the area south of Tucson down to Nogales. I've been to Arivaca. It's literally two streets and *maybe* has 500 people living there. Hard to imagine anyone in such a hamlet justifying such a response from the Border Patrol boys...

Watching Arizona Wildcats basketball in late January knowing they're gonna pull off the stupidest shit possible in March Madness...

the sports desk drives the money for the rest of the operation and killing it is a move done by people who have no clue what they’re doing or how their own business works

Designing sports has been the highlight of my time at The Washington Post and I would be devastated if I was no longer able to do that. It was my dream to work here and I've been lucky to do that for the past 9 years. I felt inspired to share some of my fav pages #SaveThePost

Our team at @rotowire.bsky.social will have lots of copy coming out ahead of Super Bowl LX. My 1st story on the Big Game covers the basics on where the teams stack up age wise & which college FB programs have produced the most Super Bowl starters over the years: www.rotowire.com/football/art...

Sean McVay going through it on the LA sidelines…

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

All my homies hate ICE.

The carajillo old fashioned, which was created by San Diego cocktail powerhouse Tonys Discount Cured Meats and Negroni Warehouse. Here’s the recipe. I highly recommend it to get you through the ICEpocalypse…

My only question is how many boxes does Bovino need to stand on to see over the lectern

NEWS: for my Tucson people, here’s the 2026 Arizona Wildcats football schedule that was just released.

“Soy un perdedor, I’m a loser baby … so why don’t you kill me…”

🎶When you get a delay of game on the 1st play of the games final drive … that’s A’Mario! 🎶

Fernando Mendoza getting hit by a half-dozen city buses crossing the road but surviving on that play…

“It’s Carson Beck time” — Carson Beck, moments before disaster

Grew up near Annapolis so could go with two: - The Magothy - The Severn

We have an opening! Come work for me!

When I triple-bogey a hole and turn my attention to a post-round crispy boy:

I knew that IU center’s first down celebration reminded me of something…

Come for @edsbs.bsky.social excellent Peach Bowl CFP semi breakdown. Stay for this small bit of excellent info about the Arizona Wildcats...

Michael Irvin watching the final minute of tonight’s CFP semis in Glendale:

Mario Cristobal has the chance to do the funniest thing possible here…

College Kickers Giveth (a made 58-yard field goal) College Kickers Taketh Away (a kickoff out of bounds penalty on the next play)

Carson Beck has made some incredible plays this half, which means he’s probably about to do something idiotic to make up for it…
