California's Prop. 3 enjoyed 58% support in a recent poll. So why are educators and their unions so worried about its prospects for passage? Look no further than your (proposition-overloaded) ballot.

Sure, sure: "Kicking and Screaming" and the SNL skit, etc. But before Mike Ditka was a meme, or even a coach, he was a hell of a player -- and he (and his owner and coach) changed the way the NFL understood offense.

Teams are 17-0 this postseason when scoring 4+ runs, entering today

The easiest mistake to make is evaluating any single proposal from MLB as its own thing. It's not. This is a months-long negotiation in which lots of ridiculous ideas and a few interesting ones will get tossed out there, only to be later withdrawn. Carry on

As last night's Padres-Brewers game proved conclusively, there is a time and a place for the best-of-five format in the MLB playoffs -- this round right here. 10/10 no notes

Pat Murphy. Real one

Tony Romo teed up CBS to do something the network was already pondering. That’s it in a thimble.

Uber-talented journalist capable of writing on any topic. Don’t hire Les unless you were hoping to improve your entire product.

Today is my last at The Washington Post. My job was eliminated in February along with the rest of the sports department, but my layoff was extended through September. The Post had one of the greatest collections of sports journalists ever. Working with each of them was an honor.

This is like the March Madness of baseball. A-plus ⚾️

As writers, as journalists, we like to believe (need to believe) that we know our subjects. Listen, do we ever? A conversation with Barry Bonds -- 30 years ago now -- still has me wondering.

Troubling trend in college sports: a university investigating its program but refusing to produce a written report -- even at a public school. This "no paper trail" evasiveness is an infection. https://t.co/I0M0PrHEGD

Over the next several months, we @capitalandmain will be examining the plight of some of the millions of working Californians who are steadily losing ground in their attempt to make a life in the Golden State. My thanks to Doña Salud for sharing her story.

Brooks Lee, Ryan Kreidler and Luke Keaschall met with Mike Krukow before Tuesday’s game. Krukow has plenty of good to say about Lee, whom he’s known since he was a baby. #MNTwins #SFGiants

For most MLB teams this time of year, it's a long, rather quiet goodbye. A weird sort of melancholy. We're with them.

I’ve spent months talking to MLB players and some union execs about their strategy to stay unified even if paychecks start to be missed. Here’s what I learned:
