This is really cool, @Markpotash
Jalen Brunson joins Quinn Buckner as the only players to win an Illinois state title (Stevenson 2015), NCAA title (Villanova 2016, 2018) and NBA title. Buckner won with Thornridge (1971, 1972); Indiana (1976); and the Celtics (1984). He also won an Olympic gold medal (USA, 1976).

Thank you for your service, @SLGreenberg. It’s inspiring how you braved the arduous trip to Hammond, Indiana, for this enjoyable read.

All my life I've wanted a toy named after me, and my wait is over. This little soccer player was included in a McDonald's Happy Meal. The tag says: "Most likely to make friends with the players on the other team." That's about right.😂#WorldCup

I would like to apologize, @gmontgomerymd. In the print edition of my story today on Braden, I carelessly wrote that you were an ER nurse. I of course know you are a ER physician. As soon as I remembered my error, I corrected it in all on-line editions and on the web. I'm sorry

You are one of my all-time favorites, with a career you can be so proud of. You showed them tremendous loyalty, Dave. Sorry they couldn't reciprocate. Next chapter ahead!

My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.

The world lost one of the most hilarious, joyful, thoughtful guys out there.
There’s way too much hot sauce in heaven today.

Looking for a Father's Day or graduation gift? Of course you are. I'll try to help.
First, off this incredible profile of Nolan Ryan by my friend Tim Brown is one of the best baseball bios ever written.
Highly recommended!
