My god, Sunday can’t come soon enough.
You’re speaking the Catholics language over here.* *I gave up on this shit years ago, but once a 16-year Catholic school guy…
Whatever happens I am thrilled to see Felix playing at this level again. Be awesome if there is an Andy Murray turd in the SINCARAZ punch. What say you @girinathan.bsky.social?
I walked in from the bar, wife on the couch watching the Open, changeover flipped over to no outs bases loaded. Best Mets 12-minute viewing experience of my life.
I have a piece coming about this very topic but it’s so wild to me that even in 1963 your guy on the poster disappears for an hour.
The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
/Sam Rockwell immediately begins the “old Jake LaMotta” De Niro diet
in advance of today's Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic U.S. Open semifinal, don't miss this @pjsauer.bsky.social book review of Mark Hodgkinson's biography on Alcaraz www.thesecondserve.com/good-time-ch...
Hold the Phone— /pulls a red hat out of the closet
I will say tho, “fat, drunk and stupid,” is technically a way to go through life.
More like Bill Hackman, amirite?
And only the most credulous of fans believes it in the first place! Why print it at all?
I’m sure he would. And had he got one in his prime, that’s dope, but as a fan I think this is cooler than the “kinda washed vet joins team to win a title” vibe.
He has that David Wright thing though—and on a much bigger scale—of being “Captain America” on the international stage. I love it for both of them. Medals > Rings
Are you still bitter about the closing of the Mahwah auto plant late that night?
The author is nothing if not prolific. Puts out books at a feverish serve-and-volley pace. Here’s me on the other side of the line, a book that does a great job of rendering the protagonist unrootable. Once again @the2ndserve.bsky.social www.thesecondserve.com/a-dangerous-...
Prepare yourself for the huge Novak-Carlitos match, with the new book about Alcaraz that wasn’t written by @girinathan.bsky.social but does have a story about the magnanimous gifting of used tennis balls. 🎾 For @the2ndserve.bsky.social… www.thesecondserve.com/good-time-ch...
“May not look like much, but she’ll get you where you’re going.” Well played, fellas. (And count me all-in on “I Like Me”)
Working through summer bookmarks, this piece by my friend/neighbor @amyphillips.bsky.social is so moving and identifiable. (My wall was all Sixers, Iggles, Mike Tyson and Kathy Ireland.) Here’s to the un-and-under-employed creative types who once got to bring those magazine clippings to life.
I guess as a middling freelancer “work hours” never enter the equation. Great matches tho.
I can
This is fantastic and Colbert is a fucking superstar
Question for @girinathan.bsky.social @fortydeucetwits.bsky.social Is this empty dead crowd because the Open has gone too 1%? Two Americans (yeah Japan, wink) battling and it’s not packed?
Fuck yeah, this is how it’s done. Take the feedback, learn, understand, apologize, take responsibility. Good for them
Tell me Clarice, do you hear the crying of the Lamb?
Third set. Osaka-Anisimova post Birds. Guess that good night sleep is done. EAT SHIT DALLAS
Me when my daughter reminds me I signed weeks ago up to be an all-day judge at her high school debate tournaments.
I feel like the coffin kick is a lost art. Well done, punter guy.
And reaping the rewards of an evangelical MLM scheme! But he’s a Bird so my ethics are what they are. Fly, you greasy ponzu scheme of a bitch, Fly.
That reminds me, fuck the Packers. Tush Pushed.
It is great to have Osaka back at her bubbly world-beating level. The more, the better, the merrier.
For the first and only time in my life, I could see why someone chooses suburbia.
Good women’s U.S. open semi on ESPN with a woman from Springsteen’s hometown if you’re looking for something to pass the time. Team Freehold.
To quote a great Philly Cat: BALL DON’T LIE
Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

Huge Osaka fan
Goddamn. Booooooooo
Wow. That was really fucking dumb.
The most Cowboys-Eagles thing ever.
LOL the latter. I tolerate enough of the former. If you have Apple TV, there is incredible Yankees stuff in the new Spike Lee joint. I was rooting alongside Nick Turturro.
I never had any in my life and I am truly thankful for that.
It’s not exactly Jessica’s fault but I mean read @dirtbagqueer.rocks and tell me how any self-respecting Empire State resident isn’t #TeamSabs.
GO BIRDS IGGLES SB CHAMPS PRESENT: SQUAWKIN’ SPORTS LIVE XIV: FOOTBAW NIGHT IN BROOKLYN 9/25 7PM JOIN @davidjroth.bsky.social @jaybusbee.bsky.social @sethwickersham.bsky.social DEETS: greenlightbookstore.com/event/2025-0... Tix: www.eventbrite.com/e/squawkin-s...
And to you, umm playoffs? A season without RFK QB?
Things suck. But tomorrow, the kid starts her sophomore year and then she will be joining me in our corner at The BK Public House to watch the Eagles go for the repeat. So yeah, it still sucks but for tomorrow anyway, less so.
They’re going to ruin @cbssundaymorning.bsky.social, the only decent thing left in this godforsaken media landscape. Trumpets gonna be a lot sadder.
LOL I just looked at the men’s U.S. open final on Seats. Com. $42K for the top seat. Guessing $60K+ if/when Sincaraz is a lock. This is the most anticipated tennis match of my lifetime and the semis are still to come.
happy labor day m.youtube.com/watch?v=_2aj...
They’re doing all this to prevent people from MEMORIALIZING A MASS SHOOTING
TOMMY PAUL* LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO ALSO MOUNTAIN US OPEN LATE MATCH TIME RULES *I miss Andy
The team just doesn’t have the Juice anymore.
So powerful they distract from the meal. God level.
I have such a hard time with the Big Ten thing. And the non-prime time 10:30EST kickoffs. So fair weather. But I paid the grad school prices so I’ll keep an eye out. Traveller4Evah
Being a less-than-casual college football fan I have the same thought every Labor Day, “you all know the U.S. Open is on right?” Fight On, tho. (Can someone let me know if I need to care about USC this season?)
New @the2ndserve.bsky.social review of the Carlos Alcaraz book not written by @girinathan.bsky.social. It’s nowhere near as good but Giri made no mention of the Carlitos connection to Nick Kyrgios full-back cartoon tat. So you make the call…
I’ve lit a candle and holding a vigil that it won’t go down until I am planted on a Brooklyn Public House barstool this Thursday in my new Iggles dual Lombardi Trophy tee-shirt with the wife, daughter and nachos. The Holy Trinity. Go Birds.
We're sending the last of our four sons off to clown college, just like his brothers before him. The kid's got some big shoes to fill.
Having a lovely time in the Colorado mountains for a family wedding, but If it goes down and I’m not in Brooklyn I will rue every day for the rest of my life.
I’m sorry. I just tuned in and could someone tell me if this is the best day since the Eagles curb stomped the chiefs? Like no jokes. For real.

Should I accost David Remnick sitting next us before our shared flight to Denver and try to hook him for Squawkin’ Sports or “oh no, don’t do that.”* *wife already dropped a “I’m halfway through Lenin’s Tomb” on him, so this would be early morning doubling down
Saw them at Marquette in our on-campus theater. Dude climbed to the top of the stage and hung from the rafters. Jaw-dropping thing, still in awe.
Wow. This really sucks.
“Page 1 of 87”
"Covid vaccines are more dangerous than the entire scientific edifice claims and also this long list of sick and vulnerable people can still have one" is a hell of an argument
There can’t be any gun restrictions because we have to protect against federal government tyranny, and if kids get shot we just have to live with it. Also the President can send troops to cities because the federal government can do whatever it wants. These two ideas are consistent and reasonable.
Watching my daughter’s high school tennis tryouts and my insides are all like—
I hope Andy Reid gets put at a table with the Haim sisters
There is only one way for Jason to close out the speech. “Travis, I love you brother. Taylor, from our family to yours, welcome, we couldn’t be happier for you and this lug. Lastly, with the deepest sincerity in my heart. Go Birds.”
Funny I will be in Colorado and some extended family is going Sunday. I won’t be back from the mountains in time otherwise I’d be there too.
Not if they give it to a kid.
You see a Monkey’s Paw, I see a good spot for a Pete tater ball.
Anyone want two Mets tickets tonight? Lower level outfield. Hit me up. patrickjsauer@mac.com
I hope Venus plays forever.
Mets-Phillies Return of Stewie v Sky Venus & Carlitos I will never give up my Gen X cord cable package.
As Jack Nicholson once told McEnroe, “never change Johnny McEdvedev”
And while the right wing story was constantly changing, the police report and the story from the teenagers both remained consistent. The teenagers say that big balls was harassing and trying to pick up the 15-year-old girl, and when he wouldn't leave her alone the boy jumped in to defend her.
I’d switch Fincher for Linklater probably but damn that’s tough.
Oh hell yeah. Worlds collide. Go Birds.
This is awesome. Wish we could've made it -- tough overlap with the kids' naptime!
Yo know in the end, it just doesn’t matter.
Is the turtle on board? Otherwise—
Live fast, die (in a strictly baseball career sense) young
Ancient by the book, adolescent by nature
Goals are overrated. You did it! I played asphalt hoops this morning. At 54, as a total freeloader off my wife, I’m willing to sacrifice whatever for a good run.
Holy shit dude. Well done
Me, staring at the US Open ticket prices for tomorrow
To prepare for what’s probably going to be the greatest movie ever made, I’m listening to the Born to Run audiobook. The thing that I’ve enjoyed the most is how often Bruce mentions cheeseburgers. 🍔 Boss repeatedly bangs that note like Max on the DW drum kit.
Yeah it didn’t feel totally stage managed and the unbridled passion of youth shines through. He was as unguarded as you’ll probably get anymore. In a few years and a few more handlers, this review will be a relic. www.thesecondserve.com/hes-got-the-...
In a Netflix vacuum, I enjoyed the Alcaraz doc (limitations and all) well enough but @joshuablevin.bsky.social is astute on it when compared to The Changeover. And now I gotta rethink the whole thing.
Been a long time but can say with no 1987 reservations that Broadcast News is still fantastic. Holly Hunter rips.
