RT @SethWickersham: Loved @MySecondEmpire's story about the identity shift men endure after fatherhood; nobody is spared, not even B.Jenner

RT @elisaslow: In the midst of the marriage debate, my story about a gay couple that has been married longer than any other in the US

RT @JeffPassan: A boy, a ballplayer and the power of mothers: How two dreams converged in one beautiful baseball story.

Writers, young and old: Follow @elisaslow He's one of the best longformers in the country, & we're going to force him to tweet his stories.

@defiantlydutch I admire a lot of things about the story, but Bell's surprising range and the fact that she has (cont)

@kentbabb It's the story of a town and of a marriage. And it's gets that right in a way that no other show ever has.

@Ryan_Patters0n1 And if he didn't play for the lakers, They'd be golfing right now. I don't know that I see your point.

RT @hbryant42: Lakers 25 pct FG shooting with 6 TO in the fourth quarter.

Lakers really blew this game with about five bad possessions down the stretch, not on that 3 by Blake. But irrelevant now. They're done.

Ty Lawson basically made every Laker look like Wil E. Coyote and he was the Road Runner during that sequence. Meep meep, y'all.

@TVFury Rules say no laptops/tablets on bench. Lakers mad. Nuggets LOL. Could be a big fine for Nuggets, but maybe not. Much ado, etc.

@TVFury More pathetic attempted title defense: Lakers in 2011 or Mavericks in 2012? Discuss.

RT @sganim: RT @ScottFilmCritic: If you only see one hilarious newspaper correction today, make it this one.

One of my fav newspaper series. RT @michaelkruse Josh Hamilton's four homers last night? From the @TB_Times archives:

If you've ever read a newspaper story & felt connected to your community, read this goodbye from my man @tommytomlinson

@SethWickersham @michaelkruse I was genuinely annoyed when it didn't win Nat Book Awrd. Could have easily been abt modern newspaper culture.

@Ms_Mambo What is this mysterious newspaper you speak of?

RT @richarddeitsch: Yeah, I work w/him but this is fact: @SITimLayden is brilliant on horse racing. If you follow the sport, read:

Sports heros in Boston are like crime fighters in in Gotham City. You either die a hero, or live long enough that your tee times get leaked.

Good take on @MichaelPhelps by @eric_adelson. Will be hard for 1 of the most competitive people in sports to walk away.

@zenyatta_queen It's plenty fair. That the nature of sports. He let Zenyatta fall too far back in the BC and took opposite approach here.

RT @gangrey: Heart disease kills 600,000 people a year in the US. Sports writers are fat because of their jobs. I'm never reading another sports story.

RT @BillyGrantGrove: @KVanValkenburg promoting and supporting them is as well. This sport is taking lives and I am having a hard time reconciling that as a fan

Read this, O's fans. RT @JeffPassan: Wieters is so good, his pitchers are asking him to give them the middle finger: "

@MattNorlander Yeah, I'm trying to make a joke for Terp fans, who saw that for years. He's never been a great shooter.

O's fans, don't sweat the Tejada signing. Between him and Kevin Gregg the O's are in position to pick up major Degree of Difficulty points.

Ravens fans, I know you're trying to be positive, but Upshaw, Kruger & Kindle aren't filling Suggs shoes. The next man up? He's way worse.

.@splendidhammer I'm unaware of what this has to do with Pats fans perpetual butthurt.

No one does "I'm so outraged and offended!" quite like Patriots players/fans do they? How dare you comment on my unethical behavior!

@W_R_R Always enjoy your thoughts, man. I just think Suggs is one of the most diverse defensive players in the (cont)

I love pics of giant basketball players holding their tiny kids. Seriously. Chris Bosh beaming at his new son.

Here is problem too: Explain any number the risks to NFL players, most simply don't care. When do YOU take it out of an individuals hands?

@TheCoolSub Obese player ARE dying at age 43, at a much higher rate than suicides. NFL players now are bigger than ever.

@TheCoolSub So why focus on suicides when coronary issues kill way more players? The whole game is bad 4 u. That's why is complex.

.@jeffpearlman There is also a very clear connection between weighing what players do, and coronary issues. What do you do? Weight limits?
