SpongeBob's 25th anniversary is in a couple of months, and Phineas & Ferb's revival comes later this year. If any editors are seeking unique feature stories to mark either occasion - particularly regarding Rocko's connection to either show - I'm all ears.

Tomorrow, @RhodeIslandFC looks to cap a storybook inaugural campaign in the USL Championship Final. As I wrote back in March before the season kicked off, the Ocean State is historically no stranger to championship semipro soccer.

‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.

Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

Why is a native of Bowling Green, OH who now lives in Nashville, TN being honored as a Boston sports legend?

Not only is Scott Hamilton's entire family from Massachusetts, but doctors in the area saved his life -- twice.

Scariest thing ever on Halloween. Made worse by the fact that it was 80 degrees two days ago.

[Al Daniel @WriterAlDaniel]

@hlrule Hey! How 'bout sending some of that cool air out East? Quit hogging the good stuff, Minnesota!

Happy Nevada Statehood Day to those who celebrate.

@VannahHanson Still, with Thanksgiving being this country's ultimate food holiday, you'd think the Food Network would explicitly dedicate more content to it.

[Al Daniel @WriterAlDaniel]

So, Food Network is already hyping its prompt transition next month from Halloween Wars and Halloween Baking Championship to Holiday Baking Championship and Christmas Cookie Challenge.

So, I must ask again, why no Thanksgiving Pie Tournament?

@LynnRutherford @ParaSprtSpokane Never thought I'd encounter the phrase "finicky gate," but here we are.

The more I think about it after publishing this, the more I remember tracks that could have filled a fourth volume: "Jungle Boogie", "Brick House", and "Roll On down the Highway", just to name three.

30 years ago today, ESPN dropped Jock Rock, Volume 1. For the rest of the '90s, the ensuing series yielded five editions of Jock Jams, but only one more Jock Rock as we first knew it.

But what if there had been a Jock Rock, Volume 3?

Since apparently hate towards Puerto Rico is being spewed on stage at MSG, just going to post the words of a great Puerto Rican.

What a difference between this great man and ugly people full of hatred.
