Jesse Jackson’s 1988 DNC speech was the first I watched, and the first I remembered. My dad teared up during it. RIP.

Bruce and I battled a few times on Twitter, and I always respected his passion for his team and convictions. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing.

Watch CBS News Sunday, for a piece on the QB position, its role in culture, and its unique fame and pressures. Featured: Joe Willie, Luck, Young β€” and yours truly! We talked, and of course, threw. I told reporter Jim Axelrod that see β€” I *knew* one day I’d be throwing passes on Sundays on CBS. ;)

As someone who has subscribed, consumed, competed against, admired, and interned at the Washington Post sports section, I’m still in shock that the powers that be are *walking away* from a known, rabid, paying audience. Thinking foremost of all those affected today, even those who survived. But also

If the Seahawks are put up for sale, it will be the first time in the Super Bowl era that an entire team that played in the championship game gets put on the market shortly afterward. In February 1991, Preston Robert Tisch purchased 50% of the champion New York Giants.

Sources: Seahawks will go up for sale after Super Bowl LX The Seattle Seahawks will go up for sale after Super Bowl LX, league and ownership sources familiar with the arrangement tell ESPN.

NEWS from @bradyhenderson and me: The Seattle SeahawksΒ will go up for sale after Super Bowl LX. They could set a record for an NFL team price: $7-$8 billion, per a rival team exec.

Sources: Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer Bill Belichick, the eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach, will not a first-ballot Hall of Famer, sources told ESPN.

A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

Learn how the author of "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback" got his start in sports journalism. Really fun conversation that goes from Alaska to covering the Rams-Titans Super Bowl as a college student

To add to the playoffs officiating conversation: On the kickoff to start the second half, when the Panthers kicked to the Rams, the ball was placed at the 40-yard line, rather than the rule-mandated 35.

He made the exact same one against the Chiefs in the AFCCG. He, and that entire team, just knew how to close like nobody ever

The Reed one was on the next drive. But yes, you lose as a team. But he had him here.

Love generally played well and the Packers lost as a team, but hours later, the miss to Musgrave stands out. He had him and the ball wasn’t even close enough to draw a flag.
