A fun one to be sure.
“Hey Will, go to a HS game and see what it all means in 2026.”
Answer: a lot. Still. And hopefully always.

Reading extensively about the Donner Party is also a really bad way to spend time on a cross-country trip btw

23 years ago today, ESPN debuted Playmakers, a scripted drama of a football team full of off-field issues.
The show was a hit, but ESPN shelved it after one season, because the NFL was mad.
I spoke to all the major players about What Happened:

A teenager was arrested and accused of fatally stabbing his girlfriend, PennWest California soccer player Karoline Heintz, before his mother helped him hide the body and destroy evidence.
He told investigators a "demon" told him to stab her. W/ @mttmoret: nytimes.com/athletic/7530505…
Huge thank you to Jenny Simpson for trusting me to tell her life-changing story. Please check it out in @TheAthletic if you can: nytimes.com/athletic/7529658…

One of the wildest NFL sagas you’ve never heard about.
A brash real estate developer on the cusp of running the Seahawks.
A brutal murder with a crossbow.
And, decades later, a bizarre twist that remained secret until now.

I've peaked, and it came in the form of a dictionary dunking on me. – at North Washington, CO
“Middling”??
With all due respect @TheAthletic if the King wanted to become a dictionary editor, he’d be amazing.
Would probably be the 2nd-best ever, behind Jordan.
(Phyllis Jordan was a lexicographer from Agawam, MA, and worked on the 9th Collegiate…she was incredible).
ALT An article from "The Athletic" references a Merriam-Webster tweet and says, "Might James derail his life as a historically great basketball player to become a middling lexicologist? Only time will tell."

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support during these past few days. Your kindness has meant so much to my family and me.
This week, we’re honoring my father’s 72nd birthday by keeping his legacy going through his passion for journalism.
In his memory, our family has started the Larry Fitzgerald Scholarship Fund with the National Association of Black Journalists to support the next generation of journalists.

Scott Pelley just issued a statement on Bari's remarks this morning:
Bari Weiss Speaks on Scott Pelley’s Firing: ‘That’s the Path That He Chose.’ New, with @grynbaum

What drives me insane is that they put the QR code on the tabletop instead of the seat arm, where they have the little light. So instead of an easy scan, you're struggling to capture a dark code as people around you turn on their phone flashes to get it.
For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.
