I have said before on here that Dan was my first editor in Philadelphia, at the student newspaper we worked at together in the early 2000s.
He was so much more than that.
He was, and remains, one of my journalism idols. He knew it and appreciated it, and compliments from him meant the world.

2025 US Open matches attended w/ my awful photography:
1. Gojo losing to Blanchet, final set: Blanchet just way more steady.
2. Galan's final game in win. Remembered his run a few years back. Only saw a few points, shouts to the chair ump GOAT Kader Nouni.

You could tell me these first two sets go any which way and I'd say "clealry Alcaraz in 5"
That being said, Sinner in 4 with third set going to a breaker.

Great piece on the fascinating leader of the pack on the WTA (and my favorite to boot).
Aryna Sabalenka is the runaway best tennis player in the world while remaining prone to total implosion, which lets you feel like you're watching both a superhero and a person. Wrote about her for Defector, with notes from the brilliant @fortydeucetwits.bsky.social.

Tremendous podcast in which I am referred to as "friend of the pod" and "annoying" in the same sentence. True honor, give it a listen.
