Today is a great day!

Nobody in the booth realizes the Bills encroached intentionally to give the Falcons a new set of downs so they could save at least 0:40? Wait is encroached a word? It should be.

@sonalibasak Your dog just Tweeted, "Is it strange that my human doesn't take more time off to spend time with my really cute self?"

Is it strange that I mostly take time off to spend time with my really cute dog?

Great piece this morning by @Spencerjakab @WSJ . If this isn't your first read in the morning, what the hell are you even doing with your life? wsj.com/finance/stocks…

I’m at @Bagels_and_Co , and it’s WILD to me how many people come to a great NYC bagel shop and say “toasted.” Even bad bagels are decent toasted, but great bagels DO NOT need to be and SHOULD NOT be toasted. Should I revive @EggSandwichGuy and do another @Kickstarter ??

@TheStalwart I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this one, but I thought it was good:. The Dead Hand: nytimes.com/2009/09/23/boo…

On the final season of The Americans. Such a great show. Anyone know of any good non-fiction corollaries to it?

@mikealbertus @business @BLMNational This was an awesome piece, @mikealbertus . You had me at "bipartisan support."

The #housing crisis needs more solutions, and fast. Here's an idea I write about in Bloomberg today: how and where to build on federal land. @business @BLMNational bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Great interview as always by @laneflorsheim @WSJ but now I'm worried I wear too much athleisure. wsj.com/style/stanley-…

@conorsen Wanna hear a crazy stat? Since 1990, only three QBs drafted in the top 10 have won a Super Bowl with the team they originally played for. Teams are so obsessed w/getting a QB with "pedigree" on a rookie deal and it very rarely works.

Thinking about why NFL offense is down, maybe at some point a half-decade of QB draft busts starts to matter? Top 10 QB’s drafted since 2019: 2019 #1: Kyler Murray (1-2) 2019 #6: Daniel Jones (1-2) 2020 #1: Joe Burrow (0-3) 2020 #5: Tua Tagovailoa (yikes) 2020 #6: Justin Herbert (2-1) 2021 #1: Trevor Lawrence (0-3) 2021 #2: Zach Wilson (backup) 2021 #3: Trey Lance (backup) 2023 #1: Bryce Young (yikes) 2023 #2: CJ Stroud (2-1) 2023 #4: Anthony Richardson (1-2)

@practicalgolf Anyone who doesn't think this is true has to read both your and @markbroadie 's books. Numbers don't lie. If you're hitting a ton of drives out of bounds, sure, use the longest club that can help you avoid trouble off the tee, but then work on driver the moment that round ends.

The driver is the most important club for scoring. Agree or disagree? Why?

Very interesting story by @intipach @WSJ on Nike slowing down in the running category, even in its own hometown! wsj.com/business/nike-…

@thekenyeung Punishable by a moratorium on coverage of that company for at least 90 days.

@JoeCheckler I would consider that assault and battery.

PR people, stop pitching multiple people at the same publication simultaneously. It's really annoying. I'll remember too.

@dimeechrious @GolfChannel It’s kind of cool but also a little funny.

@GolfChannel I think have some wires crossed. I can hear your program director in my rear surround sound speakers.

Or should I say international journalism? Yeah, international journalism.

Lots of unreal stats and stories from @rtkwrites @Swatisays and @tomelleryrees but the one about the average home price in Toronto exceeding 1.3m is INSANE. What a fine piece of American journalism. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Now THAT'S how ya write a profile. Great one by @JenKayW @WSJ on the retiring Costco CFO. wsj.com/articles/from-…

Great story this weekend by @SarahNassauer on the life of a Walmart store manager.

@Sulliview He basically had a 4-act life, and one of those acts captivated the entire nation for more than a year. I think his football and acting career, as well as his post-trial shenanigans, are themselves 3,750. So I might be low!

@JoeCheckler Well, there IS a lot to say

Hi @Sulliview I share your NYT obit word count obsession and am guessing 6,354 for OJ once the final one comes out. Your guess? archive.nytimes.com/publiceditor.b…
