Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History
S. C. Gwynne
Shanahan actually recommended "Empire of the Summer Moon" by S.C. Gwynne. Looks like the topic is somewhat similar to "Killers of the Flower Moon." Reminds me I've gotta read both. https://t.co/SOncI7RNbL

Themselves
Francis Tiain-Steel
Guys you've sent me about 4 different renderings. I just used the one THE A'S THEMSELVES say is the latest one. I think the safest conclusion is who the hell knows which is typical of this project. https://twitter.com/Citizen510/status/1484275687783481344

The Odyssey
Homer
Cracking up over @KyleAMadson mocking purposely sloppy Twitter crediting, saying he should just recite "The Odyssey" and "at the end just say, per at Homer." That's damn good Candlestick Chronicling.

Heat 2
Michael Mann
Great stuff on SFGs' offseason from Mike Krukow. I also value his book recs immensely. After the show I came up with one ("Heat 2" by Michael Mann) but of course he'd already read it. Apple: https://t.co/Yop4QzRRAx Spotify: https://t.co/KROKyH969S TA: https://t.co/qNiJymai0j

Lt: Over the Edge: Tackling Quarterbacks, Drugs, and a World Beyond Football
Lawrence Taylor
I'm the absolute worst. I covered the NFC East in the 1980s, FYI. And I didn't "compare him to Lawrence Taylor," I said Donald was the best SINCE LT and Reggie. But you are furious, I have no idea why, just because you're an NFL Fan. https://t.co/8ixJCkvKAR

Stadium
K. C. Kelley
Haven't read every story, but this is just a new development in an old fractured relationship between the 49ers and Santa Clara. The 49ers control Levi's Stadium. The city can get at them on the edges and the 49ers bite back. Neither side has acted wonderfully for years now. https://t.co/xONJzAoKb8
