So I had the tremendous honor of accepting the Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction, Sports for our @NASCAR Studios/@Bluefoot_tv show “Home Turn.” The show, about Daytona Beach around the track, is so damn good thanks to everyone involved behind the camera, but the music choices by the great @timothyhorgan are sublime, and the support from NASCAR's John Dahl (pictured with me) was invaluable. (Link to the show in next tweet) Also: when you’re walking onto a stage like that, the mic looks like it’s about half a mile away. And thank God for notes, because wow, does your mind goes blank at @TheEmmys.

hi, hello: yahoo writer here! for whatever it’s worth, neither of these pieces were written by anyone at yahoo. the site houses a lot of work from other places (you’ll see links from The Athletic, for example) and I think this is an unfortunate case of nonsense — and it *is* nonsense — slipping through. I’ve sent these over & I think they’re in the process of being removed from the site.
A huge MIDDLE FINGER to @YahooSports as a staff and label! This is nasty work being done by them.

Played some truly terrible golf today, friends. Singlehandedly shrunk the game. Grown men wept. Augusta National sent me a first-ever disinvitation. But at least the frozen uncrustable at the turn was delicious.

Absolutely the best to do it. He'll be missed for so many reasons.

Winners of both games will tip off at 11pm
BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be played Thursday at 12:30 PM ET at 17,000-seat State Farm Arena in Atlanta, per @ramonashelburne. The Atlanta Hawks-Cleveland Cavaliers game that night will move back to 8 pm to accommodate the doubleheader. By moving the game earlier in the day, the WNBA avoided a scenario where a potential championship game was played inside the Dream’s home arena, the 3,500-seat Gateway Center.

A brutal moment for Atlanta This of course means the Falcons will beat the undefeated 49ers tomorrow, though
It was a sad day for Atlanta sports fans on Saturday 😬 - Dream lost Game 4 of the WNBA Finals to Valkyries - Georgia Tech lost to Boston College - Atlanta United FC lost to Chicago Fire FC - Hawks lost to Rockets

This is the most exhilarating work of golf journalism I've read in some time. It'll give you shivers.
When I set out to find the best place to pee in American golf, what I didn't realize is that I was going on a spiritual journey too— Just kidding. These are a lot of half-demented words on peeing, with an assist to the 100+ of you who sent in your recs: golfdigest.com/story/the-sea…

It’s never been the town, it’s the teams. Give Atlanta a reason and they’ll be there.
The Atlanta Dream have sold out State Farm Arena for Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, per @FOS. The 17,044-seat venue will host the game after a schedule change moved the Finals matchup from the Dream's 3,500-seat home arena.

Water is wet. The sun rises in the east. The Cleveland Browns are terrible ... wait, what? How did we end up in a world where Cleveland is in first place ... and what do we do now? Column @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article…

Ben is one of the sharpest basketball minds in the game, and I’ll miss the hell out of the great, innovative work he did for Yahoo. Follow him here and wherever he goes next.
The NBA season is here! And I'm writing at Substack now, which is kind of a long story I wrote about here: parquetpost.substack.com/p/w…

World Cup -> NFL in Atlanta. Can you spot the differences?

So after being down 31-7, Falcons have pulled to within 31-23 of Chicago with 5:41 remaining in the game. Different team in the fourth quarter than the previous 3.

The Falcons were playing with house money after those two dominant wins over New Orleans and Green Bay. Two games later, they have now literally lost their house; Mercedes-Benz Stadium now thunders with cheers from Bears fans.

Not too late to reconsider. It’s a perfect autumn day in Atlanta today.
Roof will be closed for Sunday's game vs. the Bears.
