I used to be the San Diego Union-Tribune sports editor. Then I wasn't. Then I was again. Now I'm not, permanently.

If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔

The reaction BS can wait, Fox. Show a replay of the check swing FFS. Just terrible work from the truck.

And then when they finally got around to it, we never got a good replay. So disappointing.

The Russia smell of this Alaska fossil fuel deal was so bad that even former Exxon people bailed from the company. The smell of Russia permeates the corrupt Trump administration. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

Of course they called that a single because the guy only had it in his glove and why would anyone think that is a play that should be made by a big leaguer?

We are making the oil oligarchs rich. We are making Trump and his cronies rich. It is literally at our expense every day. There’s no trickling down happening. And Trump is bragging about it knowing nobody in the Republican Party will stand up to him and say enough.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

This should be a good read. Jim has a lot of stories to tell.
Today’s mail brought the first copies of Super! It is hard to believe that the book is in print after all this time. Now the tough part promoting sales. The release date to the public is less than a month away. Preorders can be placed via Amazon, Barnes&noble websites.

And that’s why replay should never go away. It works when the people working it do their job.

This is the man Republicans who are on the ballot worship, praise and revere. Vote them out.
YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇 WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Herbstreit had that one right, too, and then Williams completely made a mess of it. Just a horrendous play. Better off throwing it away and kick FG. Patriots will have a chance now.

Never mind. Never would imagine Santos connecting from there.

Herbstreit must have ears in my family room. Said exactly the same thing about Pats DL jumping on purpose. (I know, it’s not that hard to see that.)

The second part of this is much worse than the first. At least the coaches will get rings eventually.

Sixers-Knicks officially most-watched NBA Opening Night game on record -- not counting the Christmas Day start in 2011 lockout season -- and top non-Christmas regular season game since '99. sportsmediawatch.com/2026/10…

At some point it's all just too much, no? People putting politics above basic human decency? Normal people still find this stuff repulsive, right?
President Trump strongly defends Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mom. Trump: “That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, ‘hitting pay dirt.’”

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. troops told us what the Pentagon hasn’t: destroyed aircraft, bombed barracks, families left behind in Bahrain, troops digging their own foxholes. Never-before-seen photos and video from the Middle East. My latest with @MeidasTouch and @ValorMediaNet: meidasnews.com/news/so-much-…

The White House posting Down syndrome slurs on official media accounts to attack a journalist. Is there no bottom to this depravity?
