The Paramount+ SmartTV app is garbage. Their iPad app is more reliable.

The archaic "holden" is interesting.

18 - Aged 18 years and 176 days, Myles Lewis-Skelly is the youngest player in history to score on his senior England debut, surpassing Marcus Rashford's record of 18 years and 209 days v Australia in May 2016. Rise.

If only the Graham family still owned the Post.

Still waiting for the New Yorker (and New York Times) to revise their stylebook so that we don't have to see N.H.L. (or N.B.A., M.L.B., etc.).

The MLB account has been around, but inactive, for quite a while.

That’s the Matterhorn. It’s in Switzerland.

The seven NHL teams that have not scored a shorthanded goal this season are all in the Western Conference: ANA, CHI, EDM, SEA, STL, UTA and VAN.
