If you read one article about American sports this weekend, this should be the one.
"A sober understanding of where the rot truly lies should motivate us to not just whack at the latest weed, but yank it from the roots."

Online sports betting might be killing your marriage, GPA and 401k. But is a clear social contagion killing sports, in any sense?
I wrote about the wave of betting scandals with insights from the 1919 Black Sox, the end-times Oakland A’s, and endlessly refreshing my Tankathon tab.

I remember when the White Sox couldn't develop Semien's glove and Ron Washington quickly fixed that after the trade to Oakland. Now Stearns trades for him because of his defense.

We have a journalistic consensus about the goddamned fascist traitors' invasion of Chicago.
If you grew up in this area, this list of names will quite clearly resonate with you. If you didn't, picture every important news person from your hometown coming together to speak up.

I was just talking at dinner last night about how much I weirdly share with the Pope (despite my being Jewish).
Then I see this. If I ever get an audience at the Vatican, I will ask him "did you get me my cheez wiz, boy?"
