Next up: Editor of the Omaha World-Herald.
The Omaha priests Mike Patterson talked to were shocked to hear of Pope Leo’s election.

Very cool story here, including an anecdote about a priest who was in Rome when Pope Benedict was elected in 2025.

Hi! I start later this month as the Editor of @owhnews.bsky.social. Haven’t been super active here so far. But I’d love to hear from people in Omaha and elsewhere in Nebraska. Feedback, tips, beer and golf recommendations welcome.

The O’s open March 27 in Toronto if you want to pencil that in for the annual Opening Day homer for O’Neill!

(They come home to host the Sox after that.)
Good year to be a free agent. Three years and $49.5 is a great deal for Tyler O’Neill with the Orioles.

Red Sox better be ready to move fast if they don’t sign Soto.

Road-testing something:

For dads — or anyone else interested in dad-related content:

What would you look for in a Substack about the art and science of being a dad?

Continuing the Fairfield BlueSky content:

While the men’s team really isn’t the main event and won’t be for a long time: They’re not a complete embarrassment and they’re showing some life right now against Drexel.

OK I’ll lead off here with a college hoops 🔥 take:

Fairfield’s second half yesterday at OK State would hold up well against any half last year.

Home W coming up on Wednesday and they’ll be off to the races.
