My teen son loves Shaboozey. He happens to be in Paris tonight while we’re here so we brought him. The “opening act” is this DJ dude playing random songs from 50+ years ago while the crowd stares silently at him, mesmerized. Never seen anything like it.

If it was April, this game would've been cancelled yesterday. But it's only Game 4 of the ALCS, so sure, let's sit here and watch the blowing rain until midnight because those Friends reruns on TBS are too important to disrupt.

I have a lot of respect for Jim Thome, but it's disappointing to see him wearing all black at the game today. There isn't a statue of him in front of that shitty stadium in Chicago.

From @TheAthletic: The memory of Kobe Bryant's death lingers as LeBron James uses helicopters to get to 76ers practices. "Somewhere below, on a thousand glowing phones, strangers were begging him," our columnist writes. "Take the car. Please. Why risk it?" nyti.ms/4y2oc82

Building off what I wrote today, I try to send this out every year on 9/11. It's easily the best account I've ever read. For those who weren't born or don't remember that day, I strongly encourage you to learn about it from those who lived it.

25 years after Sept. 11, a generation of athletes has cycled through an entire career. Today's stars were infants or not yet born when the planes struck the towers. We are shifting from a time of remembrance to a time of teaching. Free for all to read. nytimes.com/athletic/7577225…

This is tremendously well done by my colleague
"I can't stand the visual of the North Tower with smoke coming out of it. Everybody looks at that as a symbol of 9/11.
I look at that as my brothers are in there dying."
On how 9/11 familes have suffered every single day for 25 years:

We really are gonna die before the Browns make a Super Bowl
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

From @TheAthletic: By giving the starting job to Deshaun Watson, a quarterback who hasn’t been consistently good since the pandemic, the Cleveland Browns told you exactly what they think of Shedeur Sanders, our columnist writes. nyti.ms/4xhg0B3

If it was all a scheme, a planned conspiracy by LeBron James and Co. to drag out free agency and pick Philadelphia, there was a key partner out of the loop: The 76ers. An inside look and how LeBron’s choice came to pass by @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/7469211…

NBA commissioner Adam Silver acknowledged the league office can’t finish the schedule until free agent LeBron James chooses a destination.
That’s real power, writes @ByJasonLloyd.

I’m at a travel baseball tourney in Pittsburgh this weekend. First chance to check social media at all the great memories from 10 years ago. Hard to believe it’s been a decade. Maybe one day @mcten, @joevardon and I will open a bottle of wine and tell the rest of the stories
