Happy to be taking part in the @tohockeywlove x @ThePHWA mentorship program this season. My mentee, @MichaelPagani, is writing two feature stories for @theScore, and the first one is live!
It's a fantastic look at the rise of Logan Stankoven: https://t.co/STSfqVw5yH
NEW: The Hockey Diversity Alliance has launched a powerful campaign spotlighting racist abuse. Talked with Matt Dumba and Nazem Kadri about #TapeOutHate, its core message, and the "monster" that is social media https://t.co/rtJQdhvRt8
I went to Memphis for Penny Hardaway.
Didn't get Penny Hardaway.
So I wrote about how special and unmistakable the bond between Penny and his city is instead (featuring Cam Payne and Precious Achiuwa, among others).

My opus on baseball in Buffalo: a snapshot in time about a minor-league town that briefly became a major-league city. About where the games were played, what it was like to play in Buffalo, and what it meant to watch in Rust Belt city reinventing itself https://t.co/N48k89SiON
"But the numbers will never tell the true story of the Negro Leagues. They just won't. For me, it is about context. I don't want the legend of these athletes to ever die." @Travis_Sawchik@theScore https://t.co/yN6EmDj1BN #longreads
Just minutes after the war between Israel and Hamas broke out, Baraa al-Gharabli, 5, was killed in Gaza.

We know defensive opportunities are down, overall, in MLB due to the increase in strikeouts -- but they are not down equally. Some positions on the field are losing more chances than others, and quite a few more (mini thread) https://t.co/vgns5WuJLu
“It may be tedious to say the obvious thing: none of us angry men should have a semi-automatic in our hands, and it’s long past time to prohibit these weapons. But horror and pain can become tedious too. Tedium plus horror: the definition of hell.” https://t.co/9pFdEvFKmR

Latest for @theScore: Kurtis Gabriel "fell into" being an ally 2 years ago and hasn't looked back. Why is he so passionate about human rights issues? More importantly, how does "getting comfortable" move the needle? https://t.co/X30rVxp5Rc
"He made people cry"
It's seven years since Edgar Davids left #BarnetFC after 15 months as player-manager. To say his reign was eventful would be a huge understatement.
