Louisiana, Missouri, just south of Hannibal, Mark Twain's boyhood home. The spirit of Huck and Jim persists there in a way that makes a joke of modernity. I think I saw them fishing together on my walk along the river. They didn't notice the time-traveler watching them.

Agreed. The challenge is most youth organizations undersell because they don't appreciate the value they hold.
Your kid’s jersey may be more valuable than a pro uniform patch ⛹️‍♀️ Priority Partnerships & @YouGov Sport found 68% of parents would trust a brand sponsoring their child’s program—20 points above college/pro sponsorships.  Even if your kid is only wearing their jersey a handful of times a season, that emotional connection can make a local uniform sponsor more memorable than a patch seen across 162 games. #YouthSports

Most league operators think a pro experience takes a production truck and a custom website. It takes about $200 a month of software.

“Worry is a waste of time.”
Good life lesson from Pat Murphy about how worrying is a "waste of time." @FoulTerritoryTV | #WorldSeries

I'm 62. I'm supposed to be slowing down and talking about the good old days of the internet. Instead I'm building new things with AI almost every day and having more fun than I did in 1995.

Technical moats are mostly over at this point. If you’re building something that is meant to be durable, the only moats now are: • Proprietary data • Network effects • A physical component

Automatic. Daeshawn Eaton racked up 34 for Living Legends in @UltimateHoops play: 8 boards, good for Player of the Game. Full film and a complete box score, captured automatically by SportsVisio. 🏀 #Basketball #HoopHighlights

Well said, VW. Teens are 5x more likely to develop a gambling problem than adults.
Victor Wembanyama was asked if he would ever sign a deal with a sports betting company: “Absolutely not. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it.”

The spiritual connection of Coach to Woody, the handoff to a new face behind the bar, is some of Cheers' finest writing.
41 years ago tonight, September 26, 1985, Woody Harrelson introduced the world to Woody Boyd on the fourth season premiere of NBC’s sitcom “Cheers”. “Excuse me…My name is Woody Boyd…howdy, I’m a friend of Coach’s. Is he around?”
