Just learned that my friend Brent Danley passed away. He was such a great guy, and always had a kind word. We moved in the same circles a few years back, then got busy with our own lives and communicated sporadically. I’m stunned.

My 11-year-old was talking about China cutting a communication cable in the Baltic Sea. So I asked him where he heard about that. Turns out it was @timcast. I couldn't be prouder of the boy.

When I was 15, I saw Die Hard in the theater three times. I’ve loved it ever since and have been waiting for the day when I could share it with my kids. Today was that day. And in my book, it’s a Christmas movie. Yippee-ki-yay.

To paraphrase Paul Harvey, now we know the rest of the story behind the bizarre Gerrit Cole opt-out/just kidding offseason development.

So UnitedHealthcare stopped covering a prescription this year, but if they allow me to get it anyway, it'll be $300/month. Amazon says, "Hold my beer" ($38/month with no insurance). Health insurance (especially the mandated variety) has DESTROYED healthcare.

Watching the playoffs, I’m having a very hard time imagining how Karl Anthony-Towns ever managed to score 63 in a game. This version looks awkward and uncomfortable out there every night.

When I poured hot coffee in this mug at 6 a.m., it cracked, down the side. Not sure what happened, but thank you, Tyco_IS for a good 11-year run. On the lookout for a new daily mug.

In a series that started with such hope, the main goal for the NEW YORK KNICKS is to avoid a sweep. As much as I hate to say it, this Indiana Pacers team is the real deal.

Not Ron Killings. He’s been a consistent asset to WWE since his return. Drop in unexpectedly, call someone by the wrong name, I laugh my ass off, then it’s back to our regularly scheduled program. No one else can fill that role and WWE will be a little worse off without him.

In 2008, my infant daughter was inconsolably fussing but when Coldplay started playing Viva La Vida on the TODAY, she stopped instantly. Thus began a lifelong superfandom that culminated in our taking her to her first show last night in Foxborough, which did NOT disappoint.

Austin Slater shows how unserious the New York Yankees are about giving Spencer Jones an MLB shot. Will he be great? Maybe, maybe not. But we'll never know as long as he's still mashing in Scranton.

Unless something changes in the next few months, 2025 will be the last year for @wwe PLEs in our house. Peacock is reasonable, but I can't justify $29.99/month on top of my Hulu live bundle with all the ESPN networks and ESPN+
