A toast to the last “week zero” in NCAA football. From here on out it’s only positive integers baby.
If there are Spanish fans visiting NYC for the World Cup, I haven’t seen them. It’s all about the Albicelestes in the Apple.
The game Candy Land was launched in 1949 and sold for $1. It had been designed by Eleanor Abbott to distract and entertain kids afflicted with polio. 77 years later, 60% of US families with kids under 5 have the game.

Fun insight into making/reading children's books. e.g. every page gets about the same amount of time, regardless of content. Although, I could do without the Slate clickbait. Mo isn't *secretly* doing anything. He literally just told us what he's doing.

Today I am alive and in the best shape of my life in part due to critical anti-malarial medicines. In 2023 I contracted Malaria and nearly died days before training camp.
I wrote this in support of United to Beat Malaria.
In unity, we can eradicate this disease.
Together.
Opinion: I'm an NFL player, and malaria nearly killed me. Millions around the world ‒ primarily young children ‒ face devastating consequences if our country halts critical malaria-fighting assistance. usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…
Watching the @nyjets is like being on a roller coaster.
But a Virtual reality version that just makes you *think* it might be going somewhere.
And then time expires and you remember it’s not a real roller coaster

There's a lot there in 2 1/2 minutes.... starting with Wooden's two sets of threes. Don't lie, cheat or steal. And don't whine, complain or make excuses.

Thank you for taking the time to retrace the intricacies of a story that is very personal to my family. I pray someone can be moved or inspired by my lived experience 🙏🏿
Three days before the start of Patriots’ 2023 training camp, Calvin Anderson was in an ER with a 105-degree fever and 50-50 odds of survival.
Ten months later, after a near-fatal case of malaria, the offensive tackle is back, healthy and ready to roll.

"These guys are working so hard for you [blocking] when you have the ball. It would be a shame if you didn't do the same for them."

My rough back-of-the-envelope calcs suggest the delay caused by the #climateprotestors at the @usopen caused 165,000+ lbs of extra CO2 to be released - 50 minutes delay *>2MM TV's worldwide @ 80 watts/hr + two 9w LED lights per house + full stadium lights & ~1 lb of CO2 per kwh.
No matter how amazing the tennis at the @usopen semis was tonight, was even more impressed by the athleticism of the athletes playing the same game in wheelchairs.
Great hustle by @Nniemann_5 He was on the right side. Dolphins kicked left - Niemann ran full tilt across the field because hey, you never know - and then he was in position to recover the loose ball. There's a life metaphor in here somewhere. #showup chargers.com/video/nick-niem…

Hundreds of space fans poured into Rice Stadium for a space selfie Saturday during the university’s celebration of the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s “We go to the moon” speech. The celebration continues today and Monday. bit.ly/3RVln3M
