@TheAthletic Another must read from one of the nation’s premier sportswriters.

Pain took football away from Andrew Luck. “I fell out of love,” he says, reducing one of the most shocking retirements in NFL history into five tidy words. And then? Something happened that he didn’t see coming.

@zkeefer @TheAthletic Another must read from one of the nation’s premier sportswriters.

We had **a lot** to catch up on, and Andrew Luck told me some things about the end, and how long he was going to play — without all the injuries — that I’d never heard before. Plus, he opens up on his steep challenge at Stanford. Story tomorrow on @TheAthletic.

Great day to be a sports fan in Indy. Doesn’t get any better than this double.

For the fifth time ⁦@JudgePeterSakai⁩ captivated a capacity crowd today at his State of the County event. Sponsored by the Metro SA Chamber, 400 people packed the Grand Hyatt ballroom to hear his thoughts on the Spurs arena and a variety of pressing issues.

Eyes got a little dusty reading this wonderful tribute to Pop by award-winning columnist @mikefinger Bet this one becomes another trophy on Mike’s mantle!

@darrencjones9 He is rather infatuated with the Boilers. It’s that West Lafayette upbringing. Boiler Up!

@jimlefko your son is killing it. Cool to see! Hope all is well.

@RobertPriceTV It’s from 1989.

I tried not to rush to judgment, but the new Fox scorebug stinks.

@JoriEpstein Except for the first down they picked up.

How great is this? Best clutch QB of all time!

@JordanElderTV You should be. Wild game. ASU deserved to win. Played much better than UT, especially down the stretch.

ASU fought hard. Forever proud to be a Sun Devil.

@JordanElderTV And as an added bonus, the Chiefs kicked butt!!

These Netflix games seem to be going quite well. I like the broadcast teams they assembled. I like Beyoncé. …and full disclosure, I absolutely would’ve complained if this venture went badly.

Great night to be a KC fan!!

Great cover story on @JudgePeterSakai in the new July/August San Antonio Lawyer magazine. Kudos to Steve Peirce who wrote the article and Mewborne Photography for the images. bit.ly/3LLb9lx

@taffyakner Terrific storytelling. Your talent shines through with every gripping sentence.

I wrote about the real-life 1974 kidnapping of Jack Teich — the one that inspired my new novel, Long Island Compromise — and the way that trauma holds on. It changes, and, if you're lucky, it morphs. But in my experience, it never really goes away. nytimes.com/2024/07/07/mag…

@MattRoy_TV Is that Angel Hernandez officiating?

IDK how many of yall are watching USA v Uruguay, but this is one of the most poorly officiated games I have ever seen I’m no expert in soccer, but God this has been horrid

@kbohls Gonna resume playing QB for the Media Mallards? You were always my favorite quarterback. Enjoy life free from deadlines. It ain’t half bad.

I can't thank my friends, colleagues and readers enough for all the overly kind and warm sentiments. I've made so many friends, it's unbelievable. God is good and has blessed me so very much. I'm not retiring, just recharging. Thanks to everyone from the bottom of my heart.

Watching Derrick White emerge as the third best player on the #Celtics should make all #Spurs fans feel both pride and a sense of longing. He was terrific in SA. But he’s even better in Boston.

@KellyRasti @TexasMonthly Great read. Thanks for sharing.
