ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it

on the night of Wilt's 100-point game, Harvey Pollack was:
- Warriors' PR director
- official scorekeeper for the game
- writer of Philadelphia Inquirer game story
- writer of "100" on the sheet of paper Wilt held up for the iconic photo

soon it'll be time for an all-singer acting cast, with Eilish, Alana Haim, Gaga, Rihanna, and others I'm not remembering at the moment

incredible pair of photos used for that graphic

those are good. Vuckovich was incredible. I just remember Candiotti walking with a crick in his neck or something as Wilhelm (I'm probably exaggerating by memory) and seemed to be playing him as mean in that situation. Either way, enjoyable

the whole thing was worth it, because decades later it led to Tom Candiotti playing Hoyt Wilhelm in a movie

the funniest one would be imploring someone chasing mcgwire at no. 2, with the side "benefit" of begging them to stop at 69 home runs

this should somehow be an all-star monday competition, even if I have no idea how it would be decided

Tyler Rogers is an editor's perfect pitcher because you get good action shots in landscape, bless

Tried to write about why I, as an audience member, don't particularly care if a story makes sense or if I can follow every particular. Usually.

thinking about how funny a bit (but also a dick move) as a manager telling someone they would get a king size payday, but while the employee expects a raise they get a delicious candy bar instead
