It feels like the NHL/NBA playoffs this year generally have been off the charts riveting and intense.

Some NFL Draft prospects have ‘character concerns.’ But what are those—and how do analysts talk about them? It is a fascinating dynamic, where there's a line you don't want to cross, but it's a different line for people who cover the draft: www.nytimes.com/athletic/630...

Bill Belichick is the rare coaching legend who wrote a book neither after winning a championship nor after retirement, but after he was fired—and was unsure of where he’d land. My story on how that hovers over his book, and what he stands for. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

There’s an old story that one of Wayne Gretzky’s buddies was introducing him at an event and didn’t know what exactly to say. How do you introduce an icon? He asked Wayne, who said with a laugh, “Just say ‘the most, the most and the most.’” Now it’s “The most and the most.”

Hey @PFWAwriters: It’s time for Michael Silver to win the Bill Nunn Award. Who else has been on Elway’s balcony post-SB and banned from the Raiders, to just scratch the surface? Mike has brought it — in print, online, and on air — for three-plus decades. It’s time. #duuuuuddee

I don’t endorse much, but @sethwickersham.bsky.social is an extremely gifted writer, reporter and frankly, just an awesome guy. You should buy his book - especially if you like the NFL.

Congrats to Rick Telander on 30 years columnizing in Chicago. I love his introductory column, getting at the strange world of being a national writer with a local heart. “It was always Chicago or nothing.” Always.

Nearly broke my thumb pre-ordering this bad boy. I've watched @sethwickersham.bsky.social throughout the process, and there's just no one who knows the American quarterback (and therefore America and sports and power) like he does. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/789617...

I didn’t know John Feinstein. Those I know who did know him complimented his generosity and rolled their eyes at his crankiness. But it’s indisputable that he shifted the paradigm. To say that a book was Feinsteinian was a huge compliment. RIP.

When Jordan played for Washington, a great writer named Michael Leahy wrote a series of unflinching stories for the WashPost that culminated in this book. One of the best reads ever on a fading icon. I feel like it’s been forgotten a bit, so wanted to remind folks.

Weird and maybe scary to consider but in many ways Hurts played better two years ago vs KC. He had to match Mahomes dagger for dagger then and he generally did.

What was fascinating is that Fangio and Co seemed to know Mahomes’s first read on almost every play — then the rush got to him. You’re talking about finding tendencies and the highest level of coaching against the highest level of coaching.

You knew Fangio would bring it, because this is a career defining game for him. It’s too bad a coordinator can’t win mvp.

As Kansas City nears a Super Bowl three-peat, many NFL fans have grown tired of their dominance. But however much America has turned on the Chiefs, it’s nothing like the second half of the Patriots dynasty, say five people who covered both teams. gofos.co/3Qgo0ON

A little shorty over at the podcast YouTube page. Cool ideas in the hopper for the YouTubes and the CNF Pod Expanded Universe. This, a wonderful riff by @sethwickersham.bsky.social, author of the forthcoming biography of the quarterback "American Kings." [pre order link below.]
