@craigbrownkc.bsky.social I swear I saw something in one of your substack posts about The Royals improved 2nd half offense, and now I can't for the life of me locate it. Am I hallucinating, (again)?

First ten minutes of All’s Fair are the worst ten minutes of TV I’ve ever seen. It’s absolutely, hilariously bad. The writing is so hacky. One of a kind

I’ve seen the promo for Murder in a Small Town so many times, that every time I hear the guy go, “Helluva way to die, Chief” I can only hear it in the voice of Lou from the Simpsons.

I love this story, because I love Dan & my interactions with Ben have always been great.
A reason why they text during the games is The Jays DO NOT travel their radio broadcasters during the year. It’s an afront to this industry and to Jays fans. My hope is it changes next year (it won’t)

Great read. Never want to lose that gratitude.
NEW: I lost to Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics coaches by 53 points in a Media vs Coaches scrimmage at the Auerbach Center today.
It was probably the most lopsided basketball game I ever played in.
But it was also the time of my life:

Joe Mazzulla challenged the Celtics beat reporters to a very humbling game of 5-on-5 basketball. It was a memory I’ll never forget.

The John Candy documentary is great. Imagine having such an impact on your friends’ lives that 30 years later they’re still unspeakably sad about your death.

I’m so bummed for Tigers fans, they had a magical summer in so many ways. But they should be so proud of the way this team fought in the postseason. Great performance

Craig Heist passing away has left a massive hole in my heart today. A DMV original. One of the best characters you’d ever meet in a pressbox. A truly painful day.
