As my friend @joeposnanski.com likes to say, how much you enjoy something depends a lot on your expectations going in. This Panthers season was SO much better than expectations. What a joy.

A friend of mine makes this point: A 20-oz bottle of Dasani water at my local CVS will cost you $2.39. Your CVS may vary.
That means that a gallon of Dasani Water — bought in individual bottles from my local CVS — costs $15.30.
Just something to think about when you go to the gas station.

Of course, the Ravens didn't part ways with John Harbaugh over one single play, but how did that missed kick bend the story?

So so so good in The Life of Chuck, the most under appreciated movie of the year, I think.
The Wild Robot, The King of Kings, The Life Of Chuck, The Long Walk, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for Squarepants. Five completely diverse films, unified solely by the word “the” (and me). 2025 was quite THE year. #HappyNewYear

Finally starting this today, but reading it in my best attempt at a This Day in History order, for an anniversary significant to that player (Koufax perfect game, Randy Johnson/bird, etc.). Or today, Adrian Beltre signing with the Rangers. Should be fun to savor it all year, @joeposnanski.com
