For CNN I'm looking to talk to young men (feel free to interpret "young" broadly) who are actively sports betting sober—as in, you made a conscious decision to abstain for your wellbeing or you quit gambling—but are still sports fans. If that's you: Hannah[dot]keyser[at]cnn[dot]com

Seattle Pilots "The First Voyage" video showing the scoreboard from April 11's debut 7-0 home shutout of Chicago. Pilots pitcher Gary Bell allowed 14 baserunners & worked through jam after jam, always getting key outs.

Summer 1980: flying as "unaccompanied minor" with Louisville Cardinals cap, Seattle Mariners jacket, Burger King meal toy, and shirt from my uncle's rural WI woodshop. I should've been a brand ambassador.

A movie so solid, they're still remaking it in 2025. One of the great "big group listening to a phone call" movies, an underrated cinematic niche.

Found this 1942 WWII-era program of Northwestern hosting Iowa's Naval Cadets, who won 20-12, a harbinger for each side. The "Seahawks" (cadets) finished 7-3 & Northwestern went 1-9, despite NFL HOFer Otto Graham starring for Northwestern in those days. #CardSky

My absolute weakness when composing sentences remains alliteration & assonance. I have noticed that my brain pronounces "alliteration & assonance" as if it includes both _a_lliter_a_tion & _a_sson_a_nce of its own.
