After historic floods swept through Vermont last week, volunteers swarmed the capital city to help clean up. In a neighborhood a few miles away was a more somber undertaking. A three-day dispatch, from a mobile home park devastated by flooding: sevendaysvt.com/vermont/in-a-m…

In recent months, Seven Days reporters spoke with recent arrivals from Afghanistan as they navigated the language and rituals of this country. They are a varied lot, representing Afghanistan's distinct regions, ethnic roots and social classes buff.ly/4etDRnC

This is where Terry McLaurin was when Jayden Daniels threw that ball. What a game!!

This throw. Taking an absolute shot. To put the game on ice. Big boy stuff.

Jayden Daniels called game. What a masterful outing by Daniels, Kingsbury and the Washington offense. Just an incredible performance by the rookie. On the road. In prime time.

Jayden Daniels just got obliterated in the pocket on a deep shot to Terry McLaurin in the back of the end zone. Amazing catch. Better throw. Ball game. Night night. Daniels coming out party. 21/23, 254 yards, 2 TDs. Oh my god. Daniels dime. He called game.

ON THIRD DOWN WITH ONLY TEN GUYS ON THE FIELD CLUTCH Daniels to McLaurin in the BUCKET. WOW #RaiseHail

TERRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

A fascinating story in the @wweek about a burial mix-up at an Oregon cemetery. I wrote about an almost identical case here in VT last month: sevendaysvt.com/news/burial-mi…

Welp, @KevinMcCallum7d got the video.

In a joint statement, Burlington Police and Burlington School District blame Wednesday's mock shooting incident on a "breakdown in communication" and say they held a "restorative circle" with the impacted students today. How, exactly, communication broke down remains a mystery.

Burlington police terrified high school students this week when they staged a mock shooting in an attempt to teach them about the unreliability of witness statements. My latest, with @CFlandersVT sevendaysvt.com/news/burlingto… #btv #vtpoli

This is wrong, @MyNBC5. Overdose deaths fell slightly *year-over-year* for the first time since 2019. But last year's 231 deaths was still the second-highest total since the state began tracking this figure. mynbc5.com/article/vermon…

Alright, I'll bite ... what are the other two?

My latest scoop in @sevendaysvt: The mother of a 14-yr-old Black teen sues the City of #BTV, alleging excessive force by @OneNorthAvenue and racial bias by police and @btvfire. sevendaysvt.com/news/lawsuit-a…

Find me a better one-two punch than these. (Also, “them’s some big potatoes” has to be a top five pick-up line)

@MarkBullockNFL Mark, apologies if you’ve already addressed this in your write-ups, but has anything jumped out to re: why he’s been less productive this season? Seeing a lot of talk on here about him not getting open vs. it being a scheme issue, but it’s hard to tell from the TV broadcasts.

Washington should probably trade McLaurin in the offseason. He’ll be 29 at the start of next season and this team is looking more and more like it needs a full rebuild. Guy deserves a chance to go contend somewhere

Ten years in the cancer clear #HappyRemissionDay

@MarkBullockNFL Bless you for watching that trainwreck again so soon, Mark.

The #Commanders defense was a shambles against the Bears on Thursday night. I broke down a horrific performance Note, this post is unlocked and free for all to read: open.substack.com/pub/markbulloc…

@benpkaufmann Many thanks, Ben.

My goodness. Phenomenal reporting from @CFlandersVT, just phenomenal... sevendaysvt.com/vermont/a-youn…
