Editor, @NashvilleBanner. Dog lover. All things being equal, I'd rather be at St. James or Camp Nou.
While we're waiting for the polls to close, please enjoy this picture of Gertie exercising her right to stretch.
This is the new owner of the Chattanooga paper. He just fired an editor widely regarded as one of the best in the state. His North Star is Twitter.
There are good subject lines. There are great subject lines. And then there are "holy crap I cannot click fast enough on this story" subject lines. Well played, @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Are you without power and need a hot meal? There are places again today that are offering free meals to those without heat.
Bez Jenkins with a set/spike block into the 10th row for Belmont against SIU. Wow. Cc: @mid-majormadness.bsky.social
Our first dog was a yellow lab named Owen. That dog ... the mischief was off the charts. He got his head stuck in a basket looking for something. He must have wandered around for hours banging into stuff before we got home.
Someone asked me why we're publishing a 6,000 word story that doesn't have any resolution in sight. I think Steven summed it up best in the story:

A man... A man stands alone at the plate. This is the time for what? For individual achievement. There he stands alone. But in the field, what? Part of a team Teamwork... lf his team don't field...what is he? You follow me?
