Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:
Mo’ne Davis Is Finally Ready to Play Baseball Again

It’s crazy how I love Michigan football, but I feel like I’m hate-watching them right now. That fake punt was so obvious that I told my wife beforehand that it would be one. (Who has a sudden huddle like that right before on a 4th and 1?) This team is maddeningly bad on 3rd and long defensively.

Prosecutors struck most Black jurors then lied at trial, concealing secret deals with witnesses. Wood's lawyer was on cocaine and barely met with him. His brother admitted to the killing but only got life in prison.
