Family man; sports reporter at NOTUS; ex-WaPo; singer/songwriter; good hang; semicolon aficionado. I'm still out here looking for a spark.

Major personal news: I made a record. Ten original songs. Some brilliant friends played and produced. I'd love for you to hear it. https://t.co/dwf6A18apb

Well, folks, I leave for Cortina today. I haven't had much to say on the state of things for us. More to come, I'm sure.

For now, here's a way to reach out to the people making decisions about the Post's future.

With mass layoffs expected to target the local, sports and international sections at the Post this week, @PostGuild has organized a letter-writing campaign for readers to write to Jeff Bezos and our executives in defense of the paper and maintaining these coverage areas.

Ten NFL head coaching openings filled and no Black coaches among them. @PostSports published a terrific project on how tough it is for Black coaches to get these jobs.

Such an important and smart analysis by @DaveSheinin, how 2025 severely damaged the delicate balance of truth and sports.

I'm not really a piano player. I just play one in the newspaper

[Will Hobson @TheWillHobson]

Great reporting, writing, and piano playing (!) by the uber-talented @DaveSheinin here.

[Dave Sheinin @DaveSheinin]

@tdappel @barrysvrluga So many great ones, I agree. Would have loved to have done a top 20 or even 40. But that's too much damn music to learn on piano

[Dave Sheinin @DaveSheinin]

@KatieSimmons_17 @jribas @george_peabody @ChrisRukan @JeffDooley_ @vsingarayar Yeah, hated to leave that one off. It could have easily been a top 20 list

[Dave Sheinin @DaveSheinin]

@DavidJNeal @YouTube So damn good, especially that B section that kicks in around :21. Wish I had room in the piece for another 10

[John Thorn @thorn_john]

Brilliant story by @DaveSheinin. My favorite, the "This Week in Baseball" theme by John Scott, has been my phone's ringtone, like, forever. https://t.co/ImbsKms0LR

[Barry Svrluga @barrysvrluga]

Are you a music nerd? And a sports nerd?

You will absolutely devour this piece of words and music from the multi-talented ⁦@DaveSheinin⁩. The stories behind the jingles — mixing in some music theory. Unique stuff. https://t.co/OAXgjjMIef

[Candace Buckner @CandaceDBuckner]

Two things I’ve learned from this piece: 1.) the NFL theme songs are intentionally sooo dark, it’s like, seriously composers, this isn’t war. Ease up.

And 2.) @DaveSheinin is the most talented cat around. (Actually I already knew that)
