(Secrets of journalism, cont.) 5. When news outlets write “Inside” headlines (such as “Inside Kari Lake’s war room”), it often means they didn’t find a new fact worthy of a headline, so they teased instead. An “Inside” headline is a red flag that the reporting was disappointing.

What's especially unfortunate is that Jeff Jacobs has proven time and time again that he would tell these stories exceptionally well. Everyone loses out.

Enjoyed this story from old pal Ryan S. Clark on Nick Suzuki's effort to learn French, which is especially important as the Canadiens' captain. I've always been fascinated by the language barrier players face in elite sports and how they navigate it. espn.com/nhl/story/_/id…

Couldn't be more thrilled to celebrate six months with this incredible little dude today. He'll never stop amazing me. (Also, how is it already six months?!)

Matt Berlin last night became just the fifth modern day emergency backup goalie to play in an NHL game. Who doesn’t love a good EBUG story? I hope you! Because I wrote a book about them: triumphbooks.com/odd-man-in-pro…

Reminds me of time Zac Boyer and I each ordered a pizza because we thought it was small. Ended up giving out the extra pie to a homeless man.

Pin this to your monitor.

Thrilled to take the wee lad to his first basketball game today and see the alma mater in person for the first time in a decade! #GoJays lol no #UConn UConn Men's Basketball The UConn Daily

Who did it better

Had to unearth this happy-go-lucky fella for the #UConn game tonight.

The A1 story of #UConn's NCAA title win in 2011 is still one of my favorite things I've ever written. (And I still have to get this framed someday.) courant.com/2011/04/05/on-…

As an alum, I'm certainly happy that #UConn has won a national championship, but I'm especially happy for family members, friends and everyone else whose Huskies fandom runs deep. It's been amazing being caught up in that passion the last few weeks. Five titles, 25 years!

Being a father isn't easy. There has been plenty of sleeplessness, stress about proper development, and adjustment to an entirely new way of life. Happy Father's Day to the dads out there, and a special tip of the cap to those also celebrating for the first time.

Gutting to see. After yesterday's finish, it seemed like he might have had No. 35 in him. Not the way he'll want all this to end

It was two years ago this morning when we found out this little goofball was coming to join the family. I couldn't be more thankful. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Thanks, Teresa Walker 👑. And here’s my look at how the football helmet technology could help the Deaf community and beyond: apnews.com/article/5dc15c…

One of my favorite opportunities came a few years back when I got to help Hannah (Withiam) Taylor with The Athletic's WBB vertical. We told so many great stories — like this one, when Tara VanDerveer passed Pat Summit in wins, and her former players reflected. theathletic.com/2256172/2020/1…

Zay Flowers hasn’t melted down this hard since October 29, 2022 in East Hartford Connecticut

Hello, it’s me again talking dogs. Lawrence Humane Society needs help w/ space. Reggie, Sheeva, Jupiter are 3, not all. I picked them from an email that’s much longer. And if you can’t help w/ space, maybe there’s someone you know. Dogs are fun, per source. I'm the source.
