Thank you, Jeffrey.

No, I appreciate it. What I’d really like is for Esquire to take down the paywall.

The Unforgotten: Two QBs and the game that tied them together forever Two boys played football 50 years apart. The game tied them together forever.

Catching up on some reading.

This elegy for two fallen high school football stars, a half-century apart, is a pinnacle of a type of journalism that has become woefully scarce. @tomjunod.bsky.social is a master of this form and I can't wait for his new book.

Thanks Ren.

Hey Spencer. Glad you read this. Had you ever heard of Jay Kutner before you started reading!? I’m guessing you didn’t, though if you ever drove down Newbridge Road you almost certainly passed John Kutner Memorial Field.

The Unforgotten: Two QBs and the game that tied them together forever Two boys played football 50 years apart. The game tied them together forever.

Two quarterbacks played a half century apart. With his trademark lyrical prose, @tomjunod.bsky.social unspools the tragic stories of Jay Kutner and Caden Tellier, bound together by the game, forever. @dvnjr.bsky.social's favorite this week www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Thanks Barry.

Thank you, Spencer. Close to the bone, this one.

The Unforgotten: Two QBs and the game that tied them together forever Two boys played football 50 years apart. The game tied them together forever.

Many years ago, I was on the field when the star of our high school, Jay Kutner, suffered a terrible injury. His fate haunted me, and last summer I decided to to explore it. Jay’s story led me to the story of Caden Tellier and this @espn story, “The Unforgotten.” www.espn.com/cfl/story/_/...

This is the book I've been working on for the last ten years and, well, all my life. I'm proud of it, and proud to be published by @doubledaybooks.bsky.social.
