Speaking of basketball, I wasted a little time this morning watching a video comparing Pete Maravich and Caitlin Clark and huge kudos to the person who pulled it together because he/she somehow found very, very similar shots and moves from the two. Check the video out here:

Worth noting is that Maravich played in just 83 varsity games. He averaged 44.2 points over his career and analysts who have looked at all of his game film estimate his career average would have been over 50 if there had been three-point baskets in his day.
Green Alert Take: I had a chance to spend 15 minutes talking one-on-one with Pistol Pete one year when he was doing color commentary for a Dartmouth basketball game in Florida and was looking for background on the Big Green. I came away impressed.

EXTRA POINT
It's Town Meeting Day in Vermont. I still remember my first Vermont town meeting, which I covered when I worked at the newspaper. It was all hands on deck – including sportswriters – as we spread out all over the Upper Valley to cover as many meetings as we could in person. Here's a pretty fair PBS description of what happens at town meeting (LINK):
In fire halls and school auditoriums across the state, residents gather to hear from the selectboard — a town’s executive body — and vote on issues of governance and finance. Individuals ask questions, make speeches, and amend items on the agenda. Then they vote, and those votes are binding. The meeting often lasts all day, usually broken up with a much-anticipated potluck lunch.
Still curious? Vermont Public has a pretty thorough Guide to Vermont's Town Meeting Day tradition in 2024 HERE that includes this humorous – and spot on – way to help pass the time during the meeting:
