Rest easy, 1963 Mets. Your 11-game losing streak has now been matched by the mighty 2026 squad for the second longest in team history. Next up/down is the 1962 team’s all-time mark of 17. We got this!

Shohei might throw a no-hitter tonight. It would burnish his astonishing resume, but it would come with an asterisk. It would come against the Mets. I mean, no offense, but…no offense.

MLK was assassinated 58 years ago tonight. I was only 7, but I remember that moment so vividly, so hauntingly: www.civilwriter.com

Sure sounds appetizing.

Stench of 20 Tons of Spilled Tofu Hits Missouri Town ‘Like a Brick Wall’

The great Tofu Snafu. Talk about spilling the beans. Missouri definitely does not love company these days (or, more properly, the other way around). And the driver was in another accident 20 minutes beforehand? He's like the Tiger of Tofu. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/u...

Apologies are a sign of strength, not weakness. They acknowledge that we all screw up—being humans and all. They show accountability and a genuine desire to improve. These are the top two headlines on ESPN.com right now.

“Spiderman robbing Superman”—great call!

TJ Power drops 44 to lead Penn over Yale in Ivy final TJ Power scored an Ivy Madness-record 44 points to lift Pennsylvania to an 88-84 victory over Yale to win the Ivy Legue championship on Sunday.

TJ Power goes for 44 in the Ivy League championship. What a story! The Hollywood name. The innocence and purity of Ivy League sports. Except…played at Duke. Played at Virginia. Ah, the transfer portal. Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. www.espn.com/mens-college...

The Time Is Now The U.S. Olympic And Paralympic Hockey Teams Have Golden Expectations

This is an ICE I can get behind: particularly with my former student, Justin Felisko, providing the coverage from Milan: teamusa.usahockey.com/news_article...

The guy just gets it. In the postgame interview: "Being able to learn about the past helps you figure out what the future needs."

Let's go even farther by marking 102 years! That's the current age of both Mrs. Cora Tyson and Mrs. Barbara Vickers, two great Americans in the nation's oldest city: www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022...

Great to see Karen furthering her father's legacy. The relationship between Bill Russell and Bob Cousy is one of the great interracial connections in sports history. Hear Cousy talk about it on "Liberty, Justice, and Ball" --the podcast I did with ESPN's Kris Rhim: www.hoophall.com/about/libert...

Great to see the NBA doing this, but I am mystified to see the omission of DON BARKSDALE: www.espn.com/boston/story...

Missing from this card is DON BARKSDALE, who might have been the greatest pioneer of them all: www.espn.com/boston/story...

'It didn’t matter who won the game': The forgotten classic that honored MLK Jr. The game itself is largely forgotten. There is no video, and even those who played in the game don’t remember most of the details. What they do remember is the meaning behind the game and the feeling ...

4/4/68. I’m 7. I see the TV report about MLK’s assassination. Indelible now, even at 65.
10/15/69. I’m 8, watching my boyhood hero, Tom Seaver, beat the Orioles in the World Series. Indelible.
3/28/70. I’m 9. Seaver wins this MLK All-Star game. Never knew it ‘til now.

Indeed. He loved America for all the right reasons, and challenged the country to live up to the lofty words in our founding documents.

Congrats to the Dodgers for canceling the 2027 MLB season. And thanks—we all need more time in our lives.

MLK never campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize. He would have been 97 today. Hard to believe he’s been gone since 1968.

So many who did the hard work of bending the arc of the moral universe toward justice are little known and under-appreciated. Claudette Colvin made America greater.

True, he seemed like Darth Vader through parts of this successful first year as an NFL head coach. But there is a very sensitive soul underneath that toughness, as I learned when I wrote this story in The Boston Globe almost 20 years ago: umassathletics.com/news/2006/10...
