Had one of these and it was one of my five most valuable possessions in 1982. I’d have gone back into a housefire just to retrieve this motherfucker.

Had some great family moments in Boston this week. I keep waking up, so I’m gonna keep spreading the word and helping others. (And have some fun while I’m at it) Thanks to the C’s for the tickets and for closing out the series! #ISHLT2025 #hearttransplant

I’m not allowed to comment on the political merits of this tweet so let me just say, as a matter of inarguable fact, that this is not what “begs the question” means.

One of my favorite stories I've written this year!
Al Horford's mom was a sports reporter, and so he learned early on that it can be a difficult field for women. She told @NoaDalzell that's when he vowed to always treat the media with respect. https://t.co/RnD3UPeoxu

My only press box cheer of the day … very classy move by Clemson to honor the one and only @PIacobelli_AP before what’s expected to be his last rivalry game covering for the Associated Press

In other election news, @adndotcom just became Alaska’s only unionized newsroom 🖊️ 🗡️
We did it! A majority of @adndotcom newsroom staff voted to unionize. The @nlrbgov counted our ballots today via Zoom after receiving a few mail-in ballots. This makes the ADN the only unionized newsroom in Alaska. Thank you for your support! #ADNunited

“Dodgers manager Dave Roberts joins us postgame in the interview room. The first question is for Ron Blum of The Associated Press …” “Dave, looking ahead to the non-tender deadline …”

@ronaldblum Or whether I checked the label on bottles the Red Sox were spraying to make sure it was from the Champagne region of France.

Me when @ronaldblum doesn’t know who Tom Brady is.
Dodgers president Andrew Friedman was just asked about them having money left to spend in international free agent pool. “Are you serious right now?”

We heard you and we are updating the cliches entry in the AP Stylebook’s sports chapter to remove the reference to “unanswered,” which does fill a unique role in writing about sports. It joins many other sports terms that began as jargon but become accepted as the best way to
