I’m not saying Rasheer Fleming will be the best player in this draft, but Rasheer Fleming will be the best player in this draft. #thwnd

Love this. Joel has been on a great climb. Creighton for the Omaha World-Herald. Thunder for the Oklahoman. Now the Bulls with us. Give a follow.

Great story here by Brendan Quinn about an American original. I didn't know Art well when I was out on the roar, but, of course, I knew him. Because everybody does. www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

Big news: I’m thrilled to share that I’m joining the best sports newsroom in the world, @theathletic.bsky.social, to cover the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s an incredible honor to work with so many journalists that I’ve long admired. Can’t wait to get started.

How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers." Let's go sit in the grass and crack open "The Days are Just Packed." pen.org/magic-tree-h...

There have been only 15 knuckleballs thrown in the major leagues this year. Does the pitch's best hope rest off the shores of Lake Erie, where a Tigers prospect is throwing 88 mph knucklers? On the death and potential rebirth of the knuckleball: www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

His Augusta win was going to be the starting point of the story that would determine Adam Scott's place among the greats in golf. Except that was in 2013. And Sunday, his wait went on for another elusive major win. http://dlvr.it/TLNq3d

Took a walk into the Oakmont parking lot with Adam Scott last night. Yes, the guy has had a lovely career. Yes, he's made loads of money. Yes, he looks like Adam Scott. But this wait of his? The long one? Since 2013? For that second major? It ain't easy. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

Amid a tumultuous weekend in America, Johnathan Vegas has been trying to navigate both the US Open and the realities of the outside. We spoke Saturday. “As an immigrant, as a guy from Venezuela, a country that’s being highlighted in all this, it’s tough to see.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...

Oakmont received an inch of rain overnight. Fairways and greens will drain fine, but everything everywhere is sopping. How bad? The USGA is offering full refunds to ticket-holders today who don’t want to slosh around. The forecast: Wet

I like this @gabbyherzig.bsky.social piece. To add some detail, apparently the 1927 photo she references was discovered by Bob Ford (the head pro) and others, at East Lake, because Jones won there that year. Upon seeing it, they requested a copy to bring back to Pittsburgh.

You probably did not know that Oakmont’s famed church pews (possibly maybe probably) trace back to a course 20 miles outside Philadelphia and a pioneering woman in golf course architecture Required pre-US Open reading from @gabbyherzig.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/641...

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

The potential for a late, unexpected Crown witness led to a heated exchange at the Hockey Canada trial in London today. And varying details emerge in accounts of the accused — through interviews from an initial police investigation, with apparent gaps. www.nytimes.com/athletic/638...
