Jesse Jackson’s 1988 DNC speech was the first I watched, and the first I remembered. My dad teared up during it. RIP.
Bruce and I battled a few times on Twitter, and I always respected his passion for his team and convictions. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing.
Watch CBS News Sunday, for a piece on the QB position, its role in culture, and its unique fame and pressures. Featured: Joe Willie, Luck, Young — and yours truly! We talked, and of course, threw. I told reporter Jim Axelrod that see — I *knew* one day I’d be throwing passes on Sundays on CBS. ;)

A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

Learn how the author of "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback" got his start in sports journalism. Really fun conversation that goes from Alaska to covering the Rams-Titans Super Bowl as a college student
