A heartfelt thank you for making AMERICAN KINGS an instant New York Times bestseller.
Bruce and I battled a few times on Twitter, and I always respected his passion for his team and convictions. I'm so sorry to hear about his passing.

Watch CBS News Sunday, for a piece on the QB position, its role in culture, and its unique fame and pressures. Featured: Joe Willie, Luck, Young — and yours truly! We talked, and of course, threw. I told reporter Jim Axelrod that see — I *knew* one day I’d be throwing passes on Sundays on CBS. ;)

As someone who has subscribed, consumed, competed against, admired, and interned at the Washington Post sports section, I’m still in shock that the powers that be are *walking away* from a known, rabid, paying audience.

If the Seahawks are put up for sale, it will be the first time in the Super Bowl era that an entire team that played in the championship game gets put on the market shortly afterward. In February 1991, Preston Robert Tisch purchased 50% of the champion New York Giants.
