I was trying to think of a good summary of this book, but a pal did it for me. Breakout Year, an mm sports romance, is out in the world!

if you're resolution for next year is to 'read like a writer' I made a (completely free!!) set of journal templates to do just that. Chag christmas sameach and happy nittel nacht (belated)
A number of weeks ago, I mentioned that I keep a "craft journal" — a journal that's about the books I've read with analysis through the lens "how can this inform my writing?"
Many iterations later, have a free PDF of what I'm calling "Reading Selfishly:"

robo-umps being meaured by a company named "infinite sky," founded by ken lazarus, is some scifi naming shit (as always, read bradford)
MLB's tech regulation plans give itself full control over who can do business with baseball.
And I learned an AI scouting firm — founded by the uncle of an exec in Rob Manfred’s inner circle — may win a bid.
Team sources and antitrust experts told me it creates a conflict of interest.

NEW from me:
MLB Teams Fear League Will Pick Winners and Losers in Tech
The league is taking control of the choosing of tech partners, rather than leaving it up to teams; one firm under consideration was founded by a top MLB exec’s uncle.

the 'please like my sport' sport doesn't want you to actually like their sport
The statement from the NHL in here: “There are so many ways to get hooked on hockey and, in the NHL’s 108-year history, this might be the most unique driver for creating new fans. See you all at the rink.”
Absolutely the most NHL way to say this. The league is never not on brand.

Important news for the Bluesky userbase (37-year-olds who went to the free Prospect Park shows every summer): Wolf Parade has the No. 1 song on Spotify right now because it's in the gay hockey movie.

this convinced me to watch and it's so legit funny and sweet
Ok listen Hallmark made a legitimately amazing Hannukah movie.
It’s called Round And Round.
It is nerdy AF. It has D&D and comic books and time loops and Groundhog Day references the acting and writing is good and it’s very Jewish and I watch it every year and I highly recommend it.

the cardinals trading Sonny Gray, Willson Contreras, and then like, Brendan Donovan one at a time would be pretty funny. Just slow-rolling a massive deal

Dear Crave, while we all wait for Heated Rivalry Season 2, maybe you could greenlight a cute little 90 minute Bagel Rivalry romcom between the sons of opposing Montréal bagel bakeries.
Important Heated Rivalry thoughts: We all already knew that Rose is awesome, but she’s also wearing St. Viateur Bagel swag, which means that she has picked the correct side in the age-old St. Viateur vs. Fairmount Montréal bagel rivalry.

I've been chewing on my thoughts re: sports romance and this thread for a bit. first, alex is right and I agree with what he's saying here
Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”
