did I just hear this polish man figure skating to Snap's "I Got The Power"??

elle no longer has to worry about keeping it cute for disney and is letting the choppa sing!

What a week it was, kiddos.

if you're into this kind of thing, the winter olympics opening ceremony just got underway

Honestly really glad our friend Tim Curran isn't here to see this day for our paper.

Pouring one out for WaPo sports, which directly gave us Pardon the Interruption, Around the Horn, and one of the baddest to ever do sports reporting, @clintonyates.bsky.social The WaPo sports section was so seismic in its work that it closing down should be considered an institutional injustice.

every big NBA trade is like "we sent Washington every player we have and got ten dollars"

paper boarding pass fell out of my jacket in the airport. person tapped me on the shoulder and said hey you might need this. didnt think twice and just turned and said thanks. had been a long time since I did an actual double take in public. it was Becky Hammon.

He keeps every story I write in boxes in his home. He calls me to ask if I know when my stories make it on the front page of the sports section. It’s an honor to be part of the @postsports.bsky.social team. Always have felt that way but especially today.

People ask me what my favorite part of working at The Post is and I often tell them my granddad. A native Washingtonian, he’s an avid sports fan. When I was hired in 2021, it was a full-circle moment for my family. Serving local readers like him is a privilege. #SaveThePost

it's really a shame what's happening to @postsports.bsky.social. Proud to have been part of such a legendary outfit for the time that I was.

Also, that game stunk before there was any snow on the ground lol

My grandfather would have turned 100 next week and I wish I could print this @clintonyates.bsky.social column up and mail it to him. Balanced and thoughtful as always, but with a finely-honed point that cuts to the core of this nonsense like no one else could andscape.com/features/mar...

column: Nike and LeBron James should be ashamed of themselves. andscape.com/features/mar...

This is not AI. This is not parody. This is real. Good lord.

This is the kind of idea you joke about with a friend as an example of what companies are like on MLK Day. The fact someone actually did this is WILD

we have completely lost the plot with the marketing of the legacy of MLK. Column soon.

what a lovely view. #AFCON

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters.

If you're on the west coast, this is your reminder that the AFCON third place game is Satuday at 8a. This is also your regular reminder that Third Place Games absolutely bang in international soccer tournaments.

Incredible. As your writing was here. Thanks for sharing this incredible piece. Not to often a piece can make you feel most of your emotions but this did.

@clintonyates.bsky.social did not have to go this hard but he did- for the culture. This piece is worthy of highest awards- contextual sports writing at its finest but equal belongs in Foreign Affairs journal.

This is a phenomenal piece of writing; it deftly weaves the tournament, the history of Lumumba and Africa as a whole, and the man responsible for honoring him together into something truly remarkable.

column: with the #AFCON semifinals underway, the MVP of the tournament is already well-established. andscape.com/features/afc...

azeez al-shaair is wearing “stop the genocide” eye black on sportscenter

it's great to hear Macca's voice on a match telecast again.

some news

to be clear, I will always believe my eyes. I will always trust my heart. I will always listen to my brain. They are all hurting right now. This is America.

jfc

work was fun today

now would be a good time to watch Andor if you havent seen it.

This is your annual reminder

your annual reminder that the singular best part about West Coast NYE is going absolutely tf to sleep immediately after 9p.

In 2003 I was covering preps and told my new newsroom colleagues I should get an apparel deal because I’m at all these high profile games in front of a target demo. They gasped. I knew what was up. Still mad about it.

Excuse me, the University of Kansas is right there. There are probably some college students making money on social media talking about sports, which is technically NIL (but not from the NIL funds), but “creators” an “journalists” aren’t exactly the same thing.

Student papers are, quite honestly, the outlets I see most consistently at all games, home/road/neutral. Michigan Daily had WBB beat writers in Charlotte all 3 years of Jumpman. Duke had WBB writers in Vegas this year for Players Era. Those are just two of many examples off top of my head.

For Black families, New Year's foods and traditions speak to shared culture, resilience, and hope. https://capitalbnews.org/black-eyed-peas-collard-greens-black-new-years/

these and the Burkina Faso whites are my fav kits in this year's AFCON so far.

alright. I'll try this over here. Bored in an airport. Ask me anything. But, in honor of AFCON, it must be about Africa in some form. #AMA

Got a new ep of Never Tell Me The Odds from @clintonyates.bsky.social @ardaocal.bsky.social and @espnmcgee.bsky.social for the holidays and what a gift it was! I too lost my mind when Galactic Racer and Sebulba showed up at the game awards. And yes, Star Wars gifts are the best.

The most decorated athlete at 49ers - Bears isn’t even playing | @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers...

the best action to take about this is to subscribe to papers that cover women’s sports so that they keep sending women’s sports writers to cover stories

wow that throw was *garbo*, Mr. MVP

…and now you are. bad news for the packers

I’m not sure anyone is. I’ve never heard his name tbh

I am not familiar with Clayton Tune's work.
