On the 163rd anniversary of Pickett’s Charge, it’s worth wondering what we’d be celebrating this week if not for the Gettysburg heroics of John Buford, Joshua Chamberlain, Winfield Scott Hancock and, yes, George Armstrong Custer.

If your invitation to the Swift-Kelce wedding was lost in the mail, you’re not alone. Sob.

@auburnfan19531 Thought the range of people who attended was interesting and a tribute to Kenny.

Figured Kenny Klein’s funeral would be crowded, and it was. Did not expect to see former Louisville mayor Greg Fischer and former UK athletic director Mitch Barnhart.

At the risk of piling on, when Phil Mickelson was part of a group trying to buy the San Diego Padres, I asked the renowned gambler if he had ever bet on baseball. His answer, as best I recall, went a lot like Ralph Kramden’s “Homina, homina, homina.”

Has there ever been a better talk show guest than Tom Hanks? The question, of course, is rhetorical. He’s always engaged, entertaining and enlightening. If it’s act, he’s one heck of an actor. But you knew that already.

Amid triumphs and turmoil, Kenny Klein was the calm center of Louisville athletics. Thoroughly professional in the best and worst of times, he set a standard few in his field will approach. May his memory be a comfort to his family and many friends.

Considered enlisting in the Tartan Army for Scotland’s match against Brazil in Miami on Wednesday. But realized I couldn’t meet the drinking standards or play the bagipes.

Watched A Bridge Too Far for the first time last night. Should have been better given its star-studded cast and epic scale. Like Operation Market Garden itself, could have used a do-over.

@erinldaly I’ve watched lots of matches over the years, but I’d love to watch one in the middle of a crowd of Scotland, Norway, Dutch or Argentina fans (and probably many others). Those people know how to have a good time.

Haven’t watched much of the World Cup, but can’t get enough of videos of fans from Scotland, Holland, Argentina, etc. So much joy. So much fellowship. Welcome, all.

Just saw Disclosure Day. One-word review: Wow. But if we are not alone, couldn’t the aliens look more like Emily Blunt?

If you drink a shot each time Ken Jennings says, “I love that,” your sobriety will be in jeopardy before final Jeopardy.

Watched a 2018 episode of The Split last night in which Anthony Head’s character dies. Today, the actor’s actual death was confirmed. Weird. Head played Rupert Mannion in Ted Lasso as a wealthy rogue. Hated him then. Mourn him now.
