Pretty amazing — and still a little surreal — to officially announce that I’ve joined the Lexington Herald-Leader as sports editor.

I quite liked but didn’t love Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four and think that often in recent years Marvel has been better at teasers and trailers than movies.
And yet, they still lured me in with a 23-second clip of a new Spider-Man costume.

Cued up the new Tyler Childers for the morning commute, and I have to say I expected to learn less about which venereal diseases koala bears carry.

Was not so much a Superman guy growing up, but I liked the early movies as a kid. Decided to rewatch everything in advance of seeing the new one, and I’m almost there but boy do you have to power through some slop to do this.

This is so good. Really cool for an athlete to be this candid and pull back the curtain so thoroughly.

An undeniably beautiful shot from today’s Thunder parade that captures the growth of the city and what it has overcome over the last 30 years to get to this moment — and just how much that title means to OKC.

Shouts to Elemental, the best coffee shop in Oklahoma, for what based on the current crowd in here seems poised to make more money today than any coffee joint in the history of the world.

Have seen more than one person suggest that the Pacers will be the truly memorable team from these NBA Playoffs, and I guess I just wonder, are y'all not capable of remembering two teams? It's only two!

Thunder were the best team all season. By most any statistical measure they were an elite team. But there was always the youth thing. Remarkable feat for a team set up for so much more down the road.

Things I did not expect in the Finals include the Thunder losing a game in which they made more 3s than the Pacers.
Also didn’t expect OKC to be outscored in the paint, by 7 (!) off turnovers and by 31 (!!) off the bench.

Nothing gets your morning going like sitting in the most interior room of your house watching storm coverage tell you how close a tornado is to your neighborhood.
Passed on by here. All good. Stay safe everybody.

Caught up on The Last of Us over the weekend, and my takeaway was that this season was... OK?
I never played the games, but it definitely feels like the TV show would have benefited from letting us get to know that other set of characters this season as opposed to waiting two years for that.

I love this moment and think about it a lot when the NBA discourse turns to star players and fouls.
