Some personal news (as the social media cliche goes): I am leaving The Washington Post at the end of the month. It's already out there, so I will confirm what's below: I'm headed to @TheAthletic, where I'll start writing columns in January.

Great piece, as always, from DA. But he was really in his bag on this one. It's a column that only he could write. Check it out, please 🙏🏾

“Inside the NBA” changed what a sports studio show could be. And Ernie Johnson was the conductor of the train. Johnson said Wednesday that this will be his last year hosting the show, after 37 years. He’s the best to ever do it. Free, in @TheAthletic:

The Seahawks remember who they are in resounding and reassuring victory over Chiefs.

www.nytimes.com Seahawks remember who they are in rout of Chiefs, Kenneth Walker III (Gift Article) One big victory can turn a season around, but the Seahawks are just focused on the work. That is why they’re likely to make a full recovery.
