Nobody in the booth realizes the Bills encroached intentionally to give the Falcons a new set of downs so they could save at least 0:40? Wait is encroached a word? It should be.

@sonalibasak Your dog just Tweeted, "Is it strange that my human doesn't take more time off to spend time with my really cute self?"

Great piece this morning by @Spencerjakab @WSJ . If this isn't your first read in the morning, what the hell are you even doing with your life? https://t.co/Cxt6bF9qqU

I’m at @Bagels_and_Co , and it’s WILD to me how many people come to a great NYC bagel shop and say “toasted.” Even bad bagels are decent toasted, but great bagels DO NOT need to be and SHOULD NOT be toasted. Should I revive @EggSandwichGuy and do another @Kickstarter ??

@TheStalwart I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this one, but I thought it was good:. The Dead Hand: https://t.co/m6IuGJlsGG

@mikealbertus @business @BLMNational This was an awesome piece, @mikealbertus . You had me at "bipartisan support."

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

Great interview as always by @laneflorsheim @WSJ but now I'm worried I wear too much athleisure. https://t.co/D8e9Mo2Sj7

@conorsen Wanna hear a crazy stat? Since 1990, only three QBs drafted in the top 10 have won a Super Bowl with the team they originally played for. Teams are so obsessed w/getting a QB with "pedigree" on a rookie deal and it very rarely works.

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

@practicalgolf Anyone who doesn't think this is true has to read both your and @markbroadie 's books. Numbers don't lie. If you're hitting a ton of drives out of bounds, sure, use the longest club that can help you avoid trouble off the tee, but then work on driver the moment that round ends.

Very interesting story by @intipach @WSJ on Nike slowing down in the running category, even in its own hometown! https://t.co/j8IoLpmrok

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

@thekenyeung Punishable by a moratorium on coverage of that company for at least 90 days.

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

@dimeechrious @GolfChannel It’s kind of cool but also a little funny.

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

Or should I say international journalism? Yeah, international journalism.

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

Lots of unreal stats and stories from @rtkwrites @Swatisays and @tomelleryrees but the one about the average home price in Toronto exceeding 1.3m is INSANE. What a fine piece of American journalism. https://t.co/Om8DMAof6T

Now THAT'S how ya write a profile. Great one by @JenKayW @WSJ on the retiring Costco CFO. https://t.co/MyqBqptnB9

Great story this weekend by @SarahNassauer on the life of a Walmart store manager.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Walmart's store managers have become an increasingly important linchpin in the retailing giant’s strategy, with some making more than $400,000 a year. But finding a store manager that can run a big-box retailer is a challenge. https://t.co/oSEfX2m3eE https://t.co/oSEfX2m3eE

@Sulliview He basically had a 4-act life, and one of those acts captivated the entire nation for more than a year. I think his football and acting career, as well as his post-trial shenanigans, are themselves 3,750. So I might be low!

[Joe Checkler @JoeCheckler]

Hi @Sulliview I share your NYT obit word count obsession and am guessing 6,354 for OJ once the final one comes out. Your guess? https://t.co/EiX6HUJwoW
