It's hard to believe it was eight years ago today that Russell Wilson was traded to New York. A moment I'll never forget.

This week, I wrote about how Washington's first season of sanctioned girls flag football is going for @SeaTimesSports. https://t.co/iaQ6j64JOM

Girls flag football, entering its first postseason as a WIAA sport, has been filled with excitement, but it hasn't come without some growing pains.

Stumbled across this piece of video for a story tonight. Missoula, December 2023, Jalen Sundell finds Grey Zabel after #NDSU's loss to Montana in double-overtime. Likely thought the last time they play together. Sunday, they'll start next to one another in the Super Bowl.

Dave Reichert lost to Ferguson by 433,000+ votes, but state GOP apparently believes that margin was due to fraud? Party hasn't won a gubernatorial race since 1980.
U don't have a choice @GovBobFerguson. WA state must return to in-person voting with voter ID. You wouldn't be gov. if WA had those elements in place. Washingtonians know it; the world knows it. The tide is turning. @wethegoverned @TheJusticeDept @AAGDhillon @FBI @KCGOP

Rob Gronkowski, being the professional that he is, called Bucs rookie Emeka Egbuka after mispronouncing his name pretty badly on television. He offered not only an apology but let him know what a bright future he has, and he vowed to get it right next time. People got a laugh out

Honestly, it's embarrassing that the NFL couldn't have people at their awards show who could pronounce the names of the winners. Some may laugh at it, but it's disrespectful when someone wins a major award and the person reading the name doesn't care enough to get it right.

Nick Emmanwori missed out on Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. Went to Carson Schwesinger instead. Seahawks award nominees are 0 for 3 at NFL Honors so far. JSN still up for Offensive Player of the Year though, and he has a good shot at winning.

Will Lewis was too busy to join the call to tell his staff he’s destroying the @washingtonpost sports department yesterday … but he did have time to walk the red carpet at NFL Honors here in San Francisco today. Amazing.

BREAKING: Two-time reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal won his arbitration case and will make $32 million this year, sources tell ESPN. Skubal’s bet to go for the largest salary ever in the arbitration system paid off, as he’ll make $13M more than Tigers argued.

I'm teaching a class of high school freshman today. A conversation came about what songs they remember from when they were small children. The overwhelming favorite answer was "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore. These children were born in 2011.

Sports are a “cultural phenomenon.” They are a regular, unifying force for community, joy, justice, history. That’s why there are dedicated sports desks, to properly document something that means so much to so many. We are all the poorer for this short-sighted, abhorrent decision
NEW: Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray says the paper will be closing its sports department in its current form and plans to cover it as a "cultural phenomenon." “We plan to retain several reporters to join features” and cover sports through there, he tells staff
