I cannot stop watching clips of Anika Nilles killing it as Rush’s new drummer. Somewhere, Neil Peart is smiling.

Today, the first day of summer break, my daughter and I went to the @AmRevMuseum. It is so wonderful to have raised someone who’s a nerd the way I’m a nerd.

@snboxing @theblockspot Definitely debatable. Also remember that other GOAT contenders, Mays and Aaron, provided exceptional defense every day. Shohei only plays D once every fifth day.

Not taking anything away from anyone, these are all transcendent players. But there’s tons to talk about.

Best known for Million Dollar Baby, FX Toole’s fiction is required reading for fight fans, not only because of its literary quality, but also for the insider information he offers. Here’s our review from @JoshuaIsard. Check it out: https://t.co/wt2LWMszb3 #boxing #books

@TitusAndronicus Absolutely fair. Love the way you all are doing it.

[Joshua Isard @JoshuaIsard]

@TitusAndronicus “Screwed” is an awesome song. I may account for a large percentage of those quarter million streams.

Jackie Robinson Day, where all players wear 42, is one of my favorite baseball traditions. Hard to overstate how important Jackie was, or how good a player he was.
