Intro

Yes. This is something you’ve never seen before in my newsletter. A weekly roundup. If you think you’ve seen this before? I’ll tell you where.

‘s Substack!

He does this weekly feature about everybody’s substacks. I thought that was a splendid idea, so here we go!

Some of these may be politics-related.

WAIT! Before we go any further, I would like to point this out.

Sports Square is growing. I’m not going to say it isn’t, but we have many readers who read the article on the site but do not subscribe.

Please note, that doing this, isn’t that much fun for me. I’m about to hit a huge milestone, but I can’t achieve that if you’re not subscribed. So, don’t fret. Trust me, this is a valuable investment (it doesn’t cost any money) in your inbox. We know that spam & promotion emails are crap, but Sports Square is different. Each newsletter deserves a spot in your inbox.

2024 Arizona Diamondbacks Hitting Preview

The Diamondbacks made the postseason last year for the first time since 2017 despite being outscored by 15 runs (746-761). They turned their surprising run into a World Series appearance against the Texas Rangers, but they failed to take down the championship. Arizona made the playoffs seven times in the team’s 26-year history, with their only World Series title coming in 2001. The last four times the Diamondbacks made the postseason, they failed to follow through with another playoff berth…

For Trump? The numbers just aren’t so good.

‘The numbers right now aren’t good.’

FOR YEARS, DONALD TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN STAFF struggled to get him to make donor calls and take fundraising seriously. But that was before Trump faced an incumbent president and a primary opponent who was outraising him. It was before he was hit with nearly…

New logo for the Clippers!

The Clippers' new logo and uniforms inevitably got your incurable NBA nostalgist thinking ...

The Los Angeles Clippers and moi ... Let's just say it's complicated. The Buffalo Braves, as many of you probably know by now, were my favorite team as a young Western New Yorker in the 1970s. The team abruptly moved to San Diego to become the Clippers…

Beyond Bans: How Can Teachers Tackle Social Media at School?

Those Streaming Wars… Have a Truce?

A (Sports) Streaming Wars Truce

I had a couple options for the first newsletter back. You sure can miss a lot in two weeks. I did catch the big game on what was instead Super Bowl Monday Morning for us.
