Never met anyone who loved golf more than Trumpy. What a good man.
Bob Trumpy has died. While he leaves a fine legacy as a Cincinnati sportscaster, his best moment might have been the two hours he spoke with a desperate and depressed woman who called into his show. n.pr/3WOlNh0

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Very few sports broadcasters are organically original, their impact on a sport lasting forever. I was lucky to work with one of those analysts: Johnny Miller. John Madden was in that stratosphere. And then there is Ray Hudson. Magisterial, indeed.
The word "magisterial" might be out of soccer broadcasts forever.

With The Open upon us, the folks at @rlgchoylake.bsky.social allowed me the space to explore the broad and deep connections between their club and this year’s host, Royal Portrush Golf Club. There were more than I expected.

To the extent that Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” tightens the belt, it does so in the wrong places.
Official projections suggest it will add nearly 12m to the number of Americans without health insurance. That is a scandalous number

Few closing thoughts on Sunday, a U.S. Open finish quite unlike the previous 30 I’ve experienced. Six players having at least a share of lead on the final nine was a first (as many as nine at Shinnecock Hills in 1986 was just before my booth time).
