I really enjoyed his book, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.

I’ve always wished I could purchase a Greg Garrity jersey.

Two of those games are losses to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The best of Birds with Friends + C2S! Excited for the shows. #shouttoSZA

🙏🏻 Does AJ OR Devonta even have a single target? So strange.

@matthewberrytmr.bsky.social 👀

Oh, please, Mina. Did you see the drive? Eagles’ D was terrible.

@daboulciff.bsky.social Do you think they would be C2S approved?

@sheilkapadia.bsky.social This is an immensely cool thing for you to do for Tom and the bookstore and the community. I hope @tmcallister.bsky.social takes questions from the audience and someone ends one with #shoutouttoSZA

Reminder: Next week (Tuesday, 8/19), I'll be chatting with my friend @tmcallister.bsky.social about his terrific new book "It All Felt Impossible" at Bookish Notions in Media.

We'll talk about the book, writing, Philly sports fandom, the Eagles, and whatever else! Hope to see some of you there!

@zberm.bsky.social come by here more often, Zach.

@sheilkapadia.bsky.social For fantasy reasons, I’m curious what median Day 1 WRs numbers look like in year two.

If you liked reading Mary Karr’s LIT, check out this podcast with @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social. She is as brave and revelatory with the mic as she is on the page.

It would be hard to be worse than Chip’s hurry-up-and-punt offense in Philly.

@short-reads.org There’s something simultaneously satisfying and thought provoking about a good segmented essay. This one reminded me of that. www.short-reads.org/artifact/?re...

Sounds like emergency pod material, Dave.

Because it worked so well against the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57 when his defense failed to get a single stop in the second half. Give me a break, dude.

I told my cousins, Tom. I hope you get a nice crowd. I would totally be there if I didn’t live 150 miles from my hometown.

Dianna, this makes it impossible to root against them both. How shall I ever overcome the plight of this circumstance?

I enjoyed your commentary and reaction on ABC today, Fr. Jim.

Shout out to SZA.

September, 24 2007. Ugliest jerseys in franchise history.

I liked the first round pick as well, especially since they signed Baun and Campbell is an addition to him and not his replacement. #shoutouttoSZA

Why would anyone want to go to the #nfldraft? The Good Lord knows we all need some fun, but I don’t get standing around for something you can’t see, for people who may or may not eventually one day play well, 31 of them not for your team. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In a secular way, most good stories dwell in Holy Saturdays, too. It’s what characters do when they can’t get what they want that reveals them, when they are afraid, when they are waiting.

@tmcallister.bsky.social loved your op/ed @nytimes.com My whole department did.

@ej-smith.bsky.social @sheilkapadia.bsky.social @daboulciff.bsky.social I enjoy the show. Funny to hear you guys read my email during this episode.

@minakimes.bsky.social Aaron Rodgers is a bag of McDonald’s that has been left and gotten cold. You could try to re-heat it, but it’s just not good anymore.
