A free story: MLS and Apple have sure used a lot of buzzwords when it comes to their new Sunday Night Soccer production. What exactly is an enhanced production? I went behind the scenes in the truck and in the booth on a recent Sunday to find out. i-5corridor.com/p/apple-tv-sun…

I photographed Bill Dellinger many times over the years, but I think this is my favorite image. Bill and some of the many athletes and coaches he worked with over the years in the East Grandstands in the old Hayward Field in 2018. RIP 1934-2025. registerguard.com/picture-galler…

I was just discovering sports when Jim Abbott arrived on the scene in Anaheim to play for my first favorite team - this week, I got to chat with him because ESPN has this wonderful new documentary, "Southpaw," about his legacy airing Sunday. This was fun. ocregister.com/2025/07/10/swa…

Annual bless/curse you, thank/damn you Jeff Smith for making us sit at watch Big Brother all those years ago. Still seated. … even finding occasion to write about it!? 🤪 #BB27 Mini 🧵:

Padres drafted 6’8” Kruz Schoolcraft to be a pitcher but he has a nice swing from the left side too. This was when he was around 16 years old. Kid is an athlete.

It was hot out there. 100 degrees hot. It’s “we need an ice cream cone” hot. So on our way home we stopped at a McDonald’s to get an ice cream cone. My wife saw a man sitting in the shade nearby & said “Let’s get that guy one too” Sure. And since we’re stopping… #catcheveryday
