Opinion editor for The Virginian-Pilot & Daily Press in Hampton Roads, Va. Virginia Tech and East Carolina alum. Died tragically rescuing his family from the wreckage of a destroyed sinking battleship.
I remember listening to a game in 2003 or so, and Sonny was livid that Washington couldn't protect Patrick Ramsey. "HE'S GOING TO DIE! HE'S GOING TO DIE OUT THERE ON THAT FIELD," he screamed (or something to that effect). Hilarious. I still quote that, 23 years later.
Sonny Jurgensen, a golden-armed Hall of Fame quarterback in Washington who became a longtime radio and television broadcaster for his former team after retiring in 1974, has died at 91.

I'm sorry, who is the unnamed "staffer" with access to the President's official Truth Social account at 11:44pm on a Thursday night?

Insane fight between the Panthers and Lightning in the NHL.
155 minutes in penalties and the coach Paul Maurice was tossed.
Video is nearly 3 minutes long.

He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

So happy to see him back tonight. Looked terrible when it happened.
Bet McAvoy is out for some/all of the Olympics with a concussion. Wonder if he’ll be able to fly.

I played bar trivia last night. We won and one of my teammates took a photo of the totals. I asked him to send it to me but he took down my number wrong and sent it to some random person. This was the resulting conversation. Incredible.

Tkachuk slashed Zadorov before the intermission. Zadorov called for the penalty, starts in the box and Florida scores on the PP. Great league you got here.

Nothing more absurd than studio commentators chuckling over Matt Tkachuk’s multiple uncalled penalties every game. Cross-check to the back (under the pad) after a goal? What a gritty competitor!

The only way to deal with the Florida Panthers is to punch them in their smirking faces as many times as necessary.

McAvoy just got elbowed in the head. Should be a game misconduct, suspension and a hefty fine.

Really nice creativity from Elanga to net that. First Newcastle goal at City in ages.

Looks like that's it for the cup defense. Newcastle winning last year will still be one of the best days I've known, but they just don't have enough this season against the big clubs.

Texted a friend, who's a City fan, that we'd probably concede in the first 5 and that would be that. I was wrong. It took us 6 minutes.

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.
Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.
