This might be the finest 60 seconds in the history of sports broadcasting. No prompter, no stumbling, no uhhs and you knows. Met the moment with big picture historical context in a way that connected it to the viewer. Not too understated or overly flowery. Just pitch perfect.

@ZachZaidman @670TheScore You were talking about the 7 million Chicago listeners. There are thousands of us living around the US also listening (via Sirius xm). I’m in Washington DC …..no pressure

If you’re turning left, get your sorry ass into the intersection on green. It’s not in the manual but that’s how real life works.

Thank you.

20 years ago today, an MLB team wearing navy blue caps with a curly W logo and gray jerseys with “Washington” emblazoned across the chest took the field, embarking on a brand-new journey many never believed would come to fruition. https://t.co/otYxAH5aHr

This montage of Trump for his obsession with the word ‘groceries’ is freaking hilarious.

His brain is fucking pudding at this point.

Jimmy Carter was the first United States president to host a Super Bowl championship team at the White House.

On February 22, 1980, a ceremony was held honoring the "City of Champions" — the #NFL's 1979 #Steelers and baseball's 1979 World Series champion #Pittsburgh Pirates.

RIP 🕯️

@PaolaBoivin @ASU I’m one of the “father types” you’re referring to —-and proud of it. (I’ll own that). A very proud Cronkite Alum. Still The most beautiful campus in the country.

I recently read about man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven.

Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They can’t wait to celebrate with him.

Look at the fans. Arms raised, big smiles, maybe even hugs for a perfect stranger.

Perhaps this is your first holiday season without someone important who is now waiting for you in heaven. Maybe it’s just another one with that big hole in your heart and an empty seat at the table. Either way, I hope you can find encouragement in this picture, what it represented to the man who collected it, and find joy this year. #heaven #hope #joy #grief

Very arguably, the overruling of Chevron will have a far broader effect, on more people, than any case from this Court to date. Other cases they've done represent huge changes for some Americans (eg abortion, affirmative action) but this is utterly cross-cutting for society.
