Rankings hardly matter in Allen Fieldhouse. So pumped for UConn to get its first-ever win over Kansas. This team is special, especially if Reed gets healthy. #bleedblue

Ken Burns is a national treasure.
Burns' six-part documentary uses voiceover, reenactors and drone footage to tell the story of America's founding. And it reminds viewers that the quest for a more perfect union is far from over.

FT: #usmnt 5-1 Uruguay. An utterly dominating performance. First international goals from Berhalter, Tessmann & Freeman, with the Orland City man adding a second for good measure. Thought U.S. managed the game better in the 2nd half. Heck of a way to end the international calendar. Bring on 2026.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Greenwell.
“The Gator” spent his entire career in a Red Sox uniform & was a beloved fixture of Fenway and Fort Myers. He gave so much to this organization, Lee County, & Sox Nation.
We send our love to the Greenwell family.
