only team in NFL history to lose back-to-back games by a score of 26-14
In one sense, it's a perfect start for the Chargers. They lost both games by the same score: 26-14.

We are days away from the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and we carry the sacrifice of the fallen in our hearts. Please read this piece Sally Jenkins to remember why. Its conclusion is devastating, brilliant, and heartbreaking. share.google/2qnmyryP10W9qlE…

Ties the NFL all-time single game record (regular season; preseason records problematic): Most Field Goals, Both Teams, Game 10 Miami (7) vs. N.Y. Jets (3), Dec. 8, 2019
I was the play by play radio voice for an #NFL game last night in which NO TOUCHDOWNS happened and 10 Field Goals were made. Please tell me that’s a record? Please! #BadBeat

The best of all of us and the best of what being an American could be
Dolly Parton, who died today, at age 80, was beloved across America and beyond. “A word like ‘crossover’ scarcely encompasses a singer admired by Vanna White (who says Parton is her role model because she ‘hasn’t been affected by show business’), Björk (who has called Parton’s twanged crystal timbre ‘immaculate’), and Nicki Minaj (who nods Parton’s way in a guest verse on Drake’s ‘Make Me Proud’),” Lauren Michele Jackson wrote, in 2020. “A Dolly Parton concert is like a local census, bringing together peoples across lines of race, gender, sexuality, and, miraculously, political affiliation.” Revisit her reflections on the country-music legend: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/-O…

And beer! Beer in the press rooms!
Back in my sportswriting days - before you were born - the food was crazy. One colleague would gain 20 lbs every baseball season. At Yankee Stadium, after we had the full pre-game press dinners, there was a complete food concession stand *inside* the press box. Free, naturally.

i hope i honored the legacy and you listened -- idiots don't listen
And you were great. You and #HowieSchwab then @bergerhere brought my observations to life. Or you’d say well, that’s not really true. A polite way of saying you’re an idiot. 😎
