Every time I see soccer players being hauled off the field on a stretcher I think of this... https://t.co/u6O34Drdlt

The Buddy Rich tapes might be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.

[Centre County Report @CentreCountyRep]

Spotlight PA and two other news organizations are suing leaders of the Penn State Board of Trustees in federal court, accusing them of violating the First Amendment by controlling what individual trustees can say to the public and the press.

The lawsuit challenges what it refers to as a “gag policy” embedded in the trustees’ bylaws. Wyatt DuBois, senior director of university public relations, told Spotlight PA in an email that the university “does not comment on pending litigation.” (AP)

Filed to ESPN: Whether you needed a racer, a throwback to a simpler time, or even a role model of how to grow from kid lightning rod to grown family man, Kyle Busch was the one we looked to.

Hey everyone. I know you're hurting. Wanted to share what I just wrote about Kyle Busch. https://t.co/tNgNwBZlGb

" Heartbroke...it's a big reminder of how fragile life is. He won the truck race last week and this week we don't have Kyle anymore. I'm shellshocked."

Kyle and I had a really challenging existence for many years. But we luckily took the time to figure out our differences and that was something he instigated with a conversation in his bus around how we each managed our racing teams. I was super eager for us to get on better terms. But it was he who made the effort for that to be possible. We did some media together also to laugh through some of the things we put each other through many years ago. Most recently we had even been discussing him running my Late Model at Wilkesboro this summer. He seemed extremely happy and we had planned to meet up next Thursday to get his seat to the shop. He laughed over the idea of his fans and JRM fans having to cheer in unison during that race.

Kyle was one of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history. No one can deny that. But he was also a father, a husband, brother, son, and a friend to many. My heart is broken for the Busch family. I will never be able to make sense of this loss but I am thankful that we had found a way to become friends.

How!? Why!? What the hell!?!?

Breaking: NASCAR icon Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup Series champion, has died at the age of 41, the racing series announced Thursday.

[Travis Johnson @bytravisjohnson]

Shameful.

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

Don’t think people grasp how bad it is for American motorsports to see regular AP coverage reduced like this.

In the last decade, a private investment firm has consolidated much of youth hockey, turning what was once a community-based activity into a profit machine for wealthy investors.

I spent nine months investigating Black Bear Sports Group. Here's our story:

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

We had people ask us for years, "What is the best way to learn the AP Stylebook?" They asked if we offered a class or recommended one.
We listened. We launched the AP Stylebook Workshop because you said you wanted to learn AP style directly from the source.
