If you respond to one of my tweets with "Who cares?" the answer is me. That's why I tweeted it.

@waghorn Very well done. I'll file that away for the next Friday the 13th.

@TonyAndracki23 If only he could have put the ball in the air more. We definitely saw flashes of the power.

My dad- He was my mentor, my coach, my rock. He taught me how to be a pro and more importantly, how to be a man. He was one of the highest integrity people I’ve ever known and I’m going to miss him dearly. Baseball lost a great one yesterday. R.I.P dad, I love you❤️

Picked up a box of 58 @ChickenMan3010 MVP pins today. I don’t know why. But at $0.65 each I wiped out the guy’s complete inventory. Visitors to the world famous @TheBoggsTavern will now receive a free pin. 😃💪🏻🐔🐓🍗⚾️ @RedSox @baseballhall

Bears quarterbacks with 4+ interceptions in a team win since 1940

[Christopher Kamka @ckamka]

Trivia!

Bears were 3-1 (3-0 in regular season) all-time when Jim McMahon threw at least 3 interceptions.

The last time the Patriots allowed at least 45 at home was November 1, 1970.

They were the Boston Patriots and the game was at Harvard Stadium.

It has been a while.

[Christopher Kamka @ckamka]

@georgeofman We'll never see that kind of game again.

Both teams combined:
370 points, 2 for 4 from three.

[Christopher Kamka @ckamka]

The 2026-27 Bulls & the 1983-84 Nuggets are the only teams to allow 120+ points in each of their first 8 games of a season.

That's the Nuggets team that had the 186-184 loss in 3OT against the Pistons (12/13/83 - later that season)

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

The plot of my screenplay for Back to the Future 4 is Marty McFly going back to 1986 to tell me not to expect this card to be worth $500 in 2026.

[Christopher Kamka @ckamka]

Blackhawks worst goal differential through first 18 games of a season.

The chart below is entering tonight.
