From @TheAthletic: For 40 years, Duke has been college basketball’s most polarizing team. People love to hate Duke. But has Duke basketball become less hateable? Perhaps, maybe, even likable? nyti.ms/47jRjJy

The University of North Carolina continues to make the Hubert Davis situation 1000000x worse. Either rip the Band-Aid off and make a change, or fully back Davis as the program's coach. ⬇️

"Everyone knew it would be tough to bounce back from that Duke game, on the road against a quality opponent, but this was their opportunity to show that they’re a top 10 team." All of Rob's takeaways from UNC's loss at Miami here (+): on3.com/teams/north-ca…


It seems like only yesterday that nearly every American newspaper, dozens and dozens of them, even in mid-size cities, ran book reviews by local critics. The alt-weeklies (I wrote for many of them) were everywhere and had feisty and boisterous book sections. Time, Newsweek and other weeklies had serious critics who mattered to the conversation. All this is gone. The stamping out of the Washington’s Post’s excellent book section - one of the last standing - ends an era. It’s a turning point in America's literature, which can’t thrive without serious and ardent criticism - aka public talk, back and forth, between competing voices, in something like real time. The silence out there is good for no one. Gloom suddenly feels like eclipse.

Every person in sports at The Washington Post would be wise to look elsewhere right now. That's just reality. Now here's the other reality: You still have to do your job at the highest level, your editors have to do their jobs at the highest level, and you as a writer/copy person/designer etc...want to work hard for them. And most importantly: You want to do your best work for readers. Just terrible conditions as far as one's mental health — and I'm sure everyone will still produce great copy. But that's what's happening.

My bestie @alyroe writes the best words. What a beautiful day yesterday at the @YogiBerraMuseum, honoring a truly beautiful guy who I was lucky enough to call "Grampa." Thrilled, grateful, blessed, proud... all the things. #YogisBigCatch #ItAintOver🙏⚾️❤️ espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
