Sports play-by-play yeller. Logo/uniform nerd. Denverite. Husker. '71 International Scout II & '85 AMC Eagle restorer. Beer league tendy. Cattle dog lover. We are never out of the fight.

Future generations will never be able to appreciate how much better the world was before the advent of "is this real or this AI" in the mental process of every single goddamn day.

It's looking like I may be asked to take the overnight assignment when the baby comes, so I'm staying up a little later each night. Getting myself stretched out like we're in the third week or so of spring training.

Seems like this is as close as we’re gonna get to a Colorado summer-night-with-a-hoodie night, so I’m going for it even though it’s still too warm.

Somewhere out there is a person or people who came up with Liberty Biberty and is probably getting paid a good amount of money to have done it, so never think you are too dumb or terrible for anything.

So that’s the thing to know, if you’re a tabloid that’s going to name-check me in another round of transphobic shit about Bluesky discourse. I don’t stand with you. I stand with my trans friends and family members. ⏹️

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

"If this is a medical emergency, please hang up and dial 911." Damn, I thought the Walgreens pharmacy was definitely the number to dial in a medical emergency. Thanks for the heads up, private equity company.

Texted an inside joke to the rarely used group chat of my wife and my mother and father-in-law. Will we be an inside joke group chat kind of family soon?! We shall see indeed.

I’m listening to Howard Bryant’s “Kings and Pawns” right now on audiobook, and of course it’s brilliant because it’s Howard Bryant. That pretty much goes without saying. But I am fairly certain that the narrator is an AI version of an award-winning VO artist. Super disappointing.

My Thursday beer league team spends the hours after our games in the group chat giving each other shoutouts and toasts like we are still in the dressing room after the game, and it probably one of the most emotionally healthy male friend groups I’ve ever been part of😅

Buglarian correspondent Ivo Ivanov, who happens to live in Lawrence, reveals his favorite moment of the World Cup to Bulgarian TV viewers. Watch this if you need a reminder about what, or actually who, really constitutes the United States of America. (auto-transcribed & translated as usual)
