There’s some renewed interest in The Process, so here’s my timeline refresher. The Sixers are currently in what I call late-stage Process. It doesn’t end until Embiid is gone. Welcome LeBron. It’s been a journey.
Beautiful night in a beautiful ballpark, but it is sad that CPB covered up the brick behind home plate and covered the outfield flower beds with a garish orange sign for a vegetation management company I still won’t name ☹️
🚨🥇 2 years from today, the LA28 Olympics officially begin Starting on Day -4 means 21 straight days of competition Highlights before Day 1: 💥 Soccer around the country 💥 Canoe slalom in OKC 💥 Cricket back after 128 years 💥 Women’s rugby QFs 💥 OC in the Coliseum and SoFi
Boston 250 had a drone show before the fireworks, and I want you all to see the man with a musket who rose from the sky
“…and don’t forget about Philly! I’m proud of that championship too!” – 45 minutes into LeBron’s HOF speech
🚨 I’m updating my NL East division race meter to: Potentially Serious
Someone in the Heat front office needs to double check the paperwork VERY carefully
Today’s beach read, based on a recommendation from Jared McCain. (Awkward timing for the Bill Gates forward I didn’t know about until it arrived.)
I am in the lab, as they say, and crossed this threshold today. Can’t wait to tell you all about it when the time is right.
If the World Cup has you in a soccer mood this summer, this is a great collection of Grant’s best work.
17-0 10-man team. May be time to retire from all of these games now.
Did they change the screen so you can’t share one screen? Or just me?
A.J. Brown was one of my absolute favorite players in the league as a Titan, the Eagles signed him, he ruled, they played in two Super Bowls and won one. Weird ending, as often happens, but I generally trust Howie to handle these things and keep them competitive. No complaints.
The Rams are scheduled to play in Cleveland in 2027, so that’s a fun Myles Garrett reunion but you’ll have to wait a bit
Everyone now gets 5 years to argue about Russell Wilson and Philip Rivers being on the same Hall of Fame ballot
Everyone is talking about Steve Kerr quoting Taylor Swift lyrics in his press conferences. Not enough people are talking about how the Warriors were gonna bench their stars for Game 1 against OKC. www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...
This time last week I thought I’d be home watching Sixers-Knicks Game 5 on TV, but a beautiful night at Fenway for Phillies-Red Sox.
Have people over here found geosports.app? It’s all over Twitter. Fun daily sports/geography trivia game that’s getting really popular. Just a genuine rec to pass along.
Just added something fun and kinda stupid to my google doc with future story ideas
