The Bad News Bears turns 50 today.
This movie zigged where most kid-sports films zag: cynical, un-Disneyfied, a gritty 1970s antidote to the usual underdog uplift. And Walter Matthau never once feels like he’s “acting with kids.”
Great read from @rustindodd on Dusty May working w/ teaching expert
He has "created a culture that is 1 part Ted Lasso, 1 part HS teacher: always curious, never judgmental
But it also represents a larger idea: the benefits of coaching like a teacher."

A legendary reunion you don't want to miss 〽️
Watch the Fab Five Altcast this Saturday during Michigan vs Arizona following Game 1 on truTV & HBO Max! #MFinalFour
Michigan is the second team in NCAA tournament history to reach the men’s Final Four after scoring 90+ points in each of the first four rounds.
The only other team to ever do it is Michigan in 1989, when the Wolverines won the national championship.
Perhaps the NCAA moment of the day...
