Bluesky chooses sports news to launch push notifications Bluesky saw record engagement for sports in June.

Confessions of ESPN’s worst ‘Around the Horn’ participant of all time As ESPN's daily debate show ends its run after 23 years and 4,953 episodes, Dan Shanoff reflects on his all-too-brief career as a panelist.

In honor of the end of “Around The Horn” this week, I wrote about my experience being on the show (20 years ago yikes) and how it remains a life highlight. The people there are amazing; the show’s legacy of incubating talent is unmatched. Alas, I was un-incubateable: www.nytimes.com/athletic/637...

So excited about today’s launch of Connections: Sports Edition, a new daily game from my wildly talented colleagues at @theathletic.bsky.social

It’s a ton of fun and totally free.

(As we like to say: “Real ones turn the timer on” - I did today in :30)

Thrilled to have joined @theathletic.bsky.social, getting to work with an incredibly talented team of folks I have long admired and focusing on coverage of Sports Business. Exciting things ahead!
