OK, so this is amazing. Baron is Donald Trump's fifth child. He's had four others—all of whom graduated high school. Here's Donald Trump's attendance record at his kids' graduation ceremonies. [1]
1. In 1996, Donald Trump, Jr. graduated from the Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Donald Trump failed to attend graduation. Image
2. In 2000, Ivanka Trump graduated from Choate, a boarding school in Wallingford, CT. Donald Trump failed to attend graduation. Image
3. In 2002, Eric Trump graduated from the Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Donald Trump failed to attend graduation. Image
4. In 2012, Tiffany Trump graduated from Viewpoint School in Calabasas, California. Donald Trump failed to attend graduation. Image
5. In 2024, Baron Trump is graduating from Oxbridge Academy in Palm Beach. Thanks to legal proceedings, Donald Trump can pretend he had plans on attending. # Image

So when I was 23 and a no-nothing reporter at The Tennessean, I was assigned to write a piece about a local couple—The Thompsons. They had been married for 23 years, and Lynn was dying of cancer. [1] Image
But, before her death, she wanted to teach her husband, Warren, how to care for her garden. I was waaaaaaay out of my depth. Young and dumb and irrationally cocky. Going to their house, sitting with Lynn and Warren, was one of the greatest lessons I've ever received. [2] Image
On compassion. On empathy. That story has stuck with me for decades (my dad referenced it in his speech at my wedding), and was a vital early lesson on being still and allowing people to talk.
Lynn died in 1995 and, I am heartbroken to learn, Warren passed yesterday. [3] Image

OK, I had to break my break for this. I lived in NYC on 9.11. My friend lost his son on 9.11. This is Donald Trump doing an interview. He is not AT Ground Zero. He was never AT Ground Zero. He actually lied (and this is well-documented, with receipts) about: [1]
1. Sending "100 of my men" to help at the site (there was, literally, NO record of this); 2. Seeing one of the planes hit from his Trump Tower window (you can't possibly see the Twin Towers from that viewpoint] 3. Helping with the cleanup at Ground Zero [2]
(there were v-e-r-y strict records of who assisted, who didn't. Trump was never there. Also, please note, there are zero images of Trump at the cleanup site); 4. Donating $10k to the 9.11 Fund. Trump boasted about this—then the 9.11 Fund confirmed Trump never donated [3]

I'm gonna end the discussion like this: Journalism is a great job. But it comes with some rules. And one, in sports, is you don't root for the teams you cover. And there's good reason: Rooting means you favor a team. And it inevitably leads to (fair) questions [1]
Can you report on the team fairly when bad shit happens? If a player commits a crime, are you gonna hold back? If the coach asks you not to report news (because it might prove damaging to the program), will you not report news? [2]
I know this is "only" sports. But it's not. It's business. It's politics. It's (in this case) public education. It's the health and safety of young men from all walks of life. And, personally, I like knowing the people covering the stories [3]

Dating back to when I was researching my USFL book, I was screaming to people about Trump: "He ruins fucking everything! E-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!" And it's just so true. The late John Bassett knew it. USFL owners learned it. He doesn't care about people. Or institutions [1] Image
He holds no loyalty to anyone. With the USFL, he threw all his peers under the bus. All of them. Threw his players under the bus. None of it mattered to him. He has no feelings. No compassion. So watching this all unfold, and seeing Republicans defend him [2] Image
I feel like I'm watching the same movie that was played nearly 40 years ago, when he destroyed an upstart football league and walked off from the wreckage unmoved. The @GOP is being left in pieces. Just as the USFL was. He can't touch something without demolishing it [3] Image

On the day of extended Favre revelations, I wanna share something: I wrote a biography of the man that was largely glowing. Football heroics, overcoming obstacles, practical joker, etc. Yes, it included his grossness, addictions, treatment of women. But it was fairly positive [1]
And, looking at it now, if I'm being brutally honest—I'd advise people not to read it. He's a bad guy. He doesn't deserve the icon treatment. He doesn't deserve acclaim. Image rehabilitation. Warm stories of grid glory. His treatment of @jennifersterger was ... inexcusable. [2]
And now—taking money that was designated to help poor people in HIS STATE, and funneling it to build (checks notes) A FUCKING VOLLEYBALL ARENA (!?!?!?) is so grotesque, so monstrous. I don't know how someone like that looks in the mirror. I just don't. [3]

In the days after 9.11, I put together a scrapbook to remember the awfulness. I lived in NYC, and witnessed so much pain, along with so much togetherness. Here's a glimpse ... ImageImageImageImage
