Popping in here one more time to say that since I quit Twitter I needed a place for my basketball thoughts, so I started a newsletter. It's called Green Tint, because everything is tinted from a Celtics' fan's perspective. You can subscribe here: green-tint.ghost.io Ok bye

@KayWOnley i was fine with the worlds not making sense in sequence, that is very much like a Mario game. i just felt like you didn't really get to KNOW any of the characters. they just kind of flail from one thing to the next.

M'man @joe_sheehan with his usual clear-eyed analysis of yesterday's A's news. He discusses market size, TV deals, aesthetics, real estate, poker and hyperbolic snipers to make so many great points. Some excerpts. Subscribe at joesheehan.com

Believing a baseball team brings jobs and economic development to a community is like believing vaccines cause autism. If you actually think this is true, you are buying into a deranged conspiracy. Pick up more tin foil next time you're at the store.

That's not to mention the Raiders and Golden Knights, who I assume will remain far more popular than the A's.

You think the A's will be more popular than the Las Vegas Aces? Are you sure? The Aces just won the title, and bring back possibly a tougher team this year. The WNBA is growing in popularity. The A's suck, and may suck for awhile. And MLB's popularity is static at best.

@NicLesperance the amount of nickel and diming is exhausting, and i'm certain they get a lot of people to pay for things they don't want or need to pay for because of how they set up the booking process on each website. it's certainly unethical.

@Swydan It's just awful. I'm a small person and the amount of space in coach is ridiculous even for me. Plus all the airport stress and getting nickel and dimed for literally everything.

From literally the start of booking. I just booked airline tickets today, and the entire process was infuriating. Airline travel is incredibly dreadful these days.
Nicole Lesperance@NicLesperance

I wish instead of all these airplane stories about crying babies, families needing to switch seats, etc, we talked about how actively painful airlines have made it to fly these days. But instead of blaming the corporations, people are just yelling at/shaming each other.

@JustinTinsley i don't have a strong enough opinion to have a real top 5 because i stopped watching college football decades ago, but mine would probably involve desmond howard and rocket ismail.

I get that last night was a playoff game for the C's, and it's the start of Red Sox season, but I feel like there was a time when even with that context, those numbers would have been flipped.
Chad Finn@GlobeChadFinn

A couple of ratings/viewership notes from last night, with the Sox and Celtics going head to head. Celtics got a 7.33 rating (preliminary, final number likely to go up) on NBC Sports Boston. Sox got a 2.65 (again, preliminary) on NESN. Likely to rise a little.

NEW: Carroll lawyer Robbie Kaplan caustically responds to Trump's request that the court tell jurors he is excused from trial because of the burden on the court & NYC. If he's got time for UFC matches & NRA conventions, she says, he can show up for a trial about rape.

NBC Sports Boston had a really good night. It was the network's highest prelim rating in over 10 years for a Cs game. Not yet sure of the men 25-54 rating, but network says it was its highest ever for a playoff game.
