Any #Mariners fans out there interested in testing Playback, which bills itself as a "Twitch for sports."

I'm going to experiment with this for Wednesday's matinee vs. Detroit.

Imagined the complete and total fit John Clayton would have thrown over today's Twitter outages is enough to bring a smile and the hint of a tear.

That man had NO patience for technical difficulties on a day as monumental as the NFL's legal tampering period.

My perspective on Steve Sarkisian changed dramatically not because he quit drinking, but because I did.

Back in 2017 when I was still a talk-radio host, we were discussing Sark -- the former UW coach -- who was rebuilding his career after drinking had led USC to fire him three years earlier.

The Seattle #Mariners have made the playoffs five times.

Coincidentally, five is also the number of ruptured testicles their players have suffered in the franchise’s 47 years of existence.

For the second time in 30 years, there is a top-level NCAA quarterback who shares my name.

This time, I can buy a T-shirt with our name on it!

Seeing the toads in charge of Sports Illustrated working to strip mine that great publication is one of the more depressing and dispiriting things I've seen in sports media and that's saying something. dannyoneil.substack.com/p/a-deep-sig...

For years I heard tech people scoff at how badly media businesses had mismanaged the transition to a digital future.

If nothing else, Elon Musk has shown that tech folks might be even worse at it.

The decision to write about my family felt like a turning point in my life. Turns out that it was just the first step: dannyoneil.substack.com/p/there-must... #memoir #writinglife

The only problem I have talking about my mental is finding the right verb. Saying, "I have depression" or "I am depressed" fails to capture the reality of what is more like a tendency that I must be aware of.
Clarity: Defeating Depression
Let's talk about the importance of seeking help, the impact of therapy and medication, and the value of opening up about mental health
