Convince me Drake Maye isn’t Mac Jones 2.0. And don’t say he threw for 4000 yards last year. Nobody cares. He plays scared. Makes bad decisions. Fumbles and throws picks. Too many.

Has a baseball pitcher ever NOT made the All Star team and then won the Cy Young the same season? That could be #RedSox Sonny Gray. @GlobeChadFinn @alexspeier

Today's @nytimes story by @xanalter was great, and one line made me laugh, where comedian Alison Leiby jokes the only books for men are about "the boat that won the war." My #WW2 book "Launching Liberty" is literally about the boat that won the war! tinyurl.com/75seh3t5

Writing a book is hard. Publishing a book is hard. Selling a book is hard. Celebrate when you do. #literary #books #authors #publishing #writing

The @NBA needs to rename "Flagrant" foul as "Whoops You Got Bumped a Little a Harder and We're Very Sorry and Hope You're OK," foul.

Worried about hantavirus? Fine. But at least listen to the experts like @BhadeliaMD and believe the science. #factsmatter Read this.

When you write a book, you try to not let any comments get you too high or too low. Then along comes one like this and you can't help but say, Hell Yeah! "I read your book after reading a review of it. You write somewhat like Eric Larson." @exlarson The ultimate compliment

The #celtics put up 81 points at halftime but this halftime show got the loudest ovation. Deservedly. ⁦@celtics⁩ ⁦@NBA⁩

Sorry @NBA but this is not a good night for you. Refs toss the best player on a great team in one of the year's biggest games. Just walk away refs. And another team is up by 25 and missing free throws intentionally to get its player a chance to score 80 points or 82. Bad look

After the Chance Gladden miracle, game-winning, buzzer-beating 3-pointer for @TerrierMBB, it's on to the @PatriotLeague championship game Wednesday at Lehigh. Here's our preview from BU Today. bu.edu/articles/2026/bu-mens…
