    Dan Jenkins is tweeting

    Might be the funniest book you ever read, until you read it a second time. That graph is in the beginning of the book. I memorized it

    Seabiscuit was a great read. I learned all I know about horse racing from it.

    MENSA

    We had a MENSA member on our copy desk. But I don't know how anyone found out. The guy never said a word for 10 years.

    Sports writers and drinking

    I came from a family with an alcoholic father. But I realized the drinking was a symptom. I never swore I wouldn't drink like some of my siblings and I feel I have it under control. It's not just how much a person drinks that can be a problem, but when. I don't drink to escape anything. That...

    Pokey Chatman Resigns....Dead Pelican reports...

    Beat writers: best coach you've ever worked with/interviewed?

    Jim Calhoun was more of a gentlemen than I thought any coach could be in a 30-minute phone interview. I'd never spoken to him before and he was great after the game. This was around the time of his dispute with Jeff Jacobs, so I knew there was another side. I vouch for Tuberville, too. The...
