We begin, of course, with the horrific tragedy. Players, caddies, coaches, tour staffers, media people. Everyone knows one another, and losing one of our own hurts deeply. It’s another reminder that no level of professional success or financial stability can insulate someone from internal battles. At 30, Murray was a multiple time winner on the best golf tour on the planet. He’d made $2.47 million already this year. He made the cut in the Players, the Masters and the PGA Championship....

I’ve been watching this basketball team for a long time and lived through it all. In all my years on earth, the Boston Celtics have played in 4 NBA Finals. Well over 3 decades, 4 total Finals. This isn’t a case of LeBron making the Finals for 10 straight years. So before we do anything, we first have to appreciate and respect what a moment like this means. So it’s important to take a step back and appreciate what we’re watching....

There are so many complicated, intricate and complex issues in the world today. Ones we find ourselves grappling with on a daily basis. Many of them with compelling arguments to be made on both sides. Often they’re rooted in ancient histories that are extremely difficult to sort out. When in doubt, I look to the people doing the protesting. And whichever side has the worst collection of assholes is the one I go against....

They are, he says, over-engineered for survival....

But this is the real world, where last-minute meetings that could have been an email fill calendars. Where colleagues forget to finish their tasks and drop them on your plate as they set off for holidays. It’s free, every week, in your inbox....

I’ve been dreading writing a blog about yet another pathetic season by the New York Mets. But it’s Memorial Day and there is no hiding the truth. This is, in fact, yet another pathetic season by the New York Mets. This tweet by owner Steve Cohen was after the fourth loss of a five game losing streak. I found this tweet more “mind boggling” than the Mets being lousy. Did Cohen come into this season thinking the Mets would be good?...

I’m not sure about anyone else, but my heart is still racing. How could it not be? That’s not new. Buthowthey’ve done it? I dunno, things just feel different. In Game 1, that Jaylen shot doesn’t fall. Somehow, that game ends in a brutal ECF overtime loss. You know it, I know it, we all know it. We’ve lived it. In Game 3, there is no 18 point comeback. There are no late game heroics....

And I was growing tired of Moose. He had proven over and over again that he was just anothersnake in the grass. It had the worn look of a neighborhood bar that had been there a while. As soon as they find out we’re northerners from Massachusetts, they’ll wanna kick our asses. On the way back, I took a detour and decided to walk by that bar one last time....
