Catching up on some reading.

This elegy for two fallen high school football stars, a half-century apart, is a pinnacle of a type of journalism that has become woefully scarce. @tomjunod.bsky.social is a master of this form and I can't wait for his new book.

Two quarterbacks played a half century apart. With his trademark lyrical prose, @tomjunod.bsky.social unspools the tragic stories of Jay Kutner and Caden Tellier, bound together by the game, forever. @dvnjr.bsky.social's favorite this week www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
