Hard to believe that's all there was back then. I think @finebaum was still a reporter at the Post-Herald newspaper (R.I.P.) in Birmingham.
Today, the college football preseason is a year-long hellstorm of 3,789,452 voices, shows, podcasts & clickbait rankings posts on social media. In 1986, there was one half-hour preview show in August featuring Beano Cook. Advantage: 1986.

Shared from Metro PD. Warning: this is disturbing, but important to see.
6 minutes released from bodycam. It’s hard to watch. Please do it. It’s important to know how hard this job is… thank you, MNPD!

Lest you think it's just killing time in the "bad parts of greater Birmingham," this is at a private K-6 school in a wealthy part of Nashville...
Nashville Metro PD press briefing just ended: 3 students, 3 adults and the shooter are dead. The shooter was a female, believed to be in her teens and entered the private school armed w/2 rifles and a handgun. wbrc.com/2023/03/27/shooting…

OK, I've lost count. How many shootings and/or dumped bodies over the last couple of days in Birmingham and Jefferson County?

Not surprised he did that in the least. Jerome Tang is a class act.

US and England unite behind “Protect the Players” banner before kick off. After devastation of Yates report, a game played before sold-out Wembley. These are best of times, worst of times for Women’s Game, awash with Dreams and Nightmares. To better days and leadership ahead 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

If you’re over 40, you probably know these curtains as well as the ones in your house.

A college basketball game for the ages.
The only way Glenn is leaving competitive curling is feet first. (Their tweet rocks.)

ASHAA to Gov. Ivey about Oakwood basketball: [bleep] you.
Briggs: Association upheld agreement Oakwood signed when it joined ... So remember coaches, players - Briggs is saying: We didn't do anything extra b/c we didn't have to. Don't help that opponent off the ground after a tackle. You don't have to. (1/2)

Matt Hamilton (USA, second) and Brad Gushue (Canada, skip). This ... is the essence of curling.
A picture is worth a thousand words. This is what the @Olympics spirit is all about! 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 #curlingfamily #classact 📸: The Canadian Press/Ryan Remiorz
