NEW: I lost to Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics coaches by 53 points in a Media vs Coaches scrimmage at the Auerbach Center today.

It was probably the most lopsided basketball game I ever played in.

But it was also the time of my life:

I lost to Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics coaches by 53 points — and it was the time of my life

Joe Mazzulla challenged the Celtics beat reporters to a very humbling game of 5-on-5 basketball. It was a memory I’ll never forget.

where my experience was parents having all of TNG on tape, which was my intro to scifi TV, and then SG-1 on SciFi channel was my own interest taking root. I think I've watched the entire series on streaming at least four times.

I'm curious -- coming up on a year since many of us migrated -- how fellow denizens of #NBASky feel about this. I don't miss the other place. Feel like I'm getting plenty of NBA chatter and feedback here. (Though, admittedly, I do wish more of my media peers would post regularly.)

Andrew Tobolowsky @andytobo.bsky.social · 1d

I AM really struggling with how little NBA talk there is on here and I'm tired of pretending I'm not. Ratio me, it's a badge of honor.

Missed this, on the sad side of Athletic soccer coverage. Jeff is genuinely one of the best people and a fabulous writer, their loss. Will read him wherever he goes.

Jeff Rueter @jeffrueter.bsky.social · 5d

Some personal news: today is my final day at The Athletic, ending a 6+ year tenure on its staff.

Immensely fortunate to have covered this sport alongside some of the finest writers and editors in the industry. Will keep you posted as I figure out what’s next for my work!

Still have entirely too many phone numbers memorized tbh.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
