That time I had a Q&A with P.J. O'Rourke about his career, with Q's such as "Who were your best and worst editors?" "Best editor is the one who lets you do anything you want. Worst is ditto. My own worst was E. in Chief of Nat. Lamp. – me." hardyvision.wordpress.com/2022/02/24/que…

@GitRDoneLarry After this guy in the stands in Tampa went viral last night, the Internet tracked him down on social media and figured out his real name is Larry. If so, does that mean we’ve finally found “Larry the Gator Guy”? 😂

@svdate That’s bananas

All citizens will be required to change their underwear every half hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside. So we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now 16 years old.

@KevinBrockwayG1 $$$$$ is always more important than fan satisfaction

Well thanks to the Tennessee-Vandy game running long, national TV missed a 11-0 Florida run to start th game vs Kentucky. No excuse as to why ESPN can't go with 2:30 minute windows between games #Gators

Alabama basketball is so clutch they lost to Florida by 23

@AveryGWilks The difference in funding sources for Lexington/Richland libraries can be staggering. For example, when it comes to printing stuff out it's: Richland: First 10 pages free Lexington: 25 cents per page

How much more do I need to pay in taxes so the Lexington County Library can have an online collection anywhere near as robust as Richland County's? Just give me a number

Pouring one out for The Reverend Jesse Jackson. A giant and a champion for civil rights and equality. But can anyone read Green Eggs and Ham better? No.

My brothers and I have to be in Largo, Florida, for the week. And our Airbnb’s WiFi password is “Largo123!”. Which might be the most Largo, Florida, thing ever.

@AllKindsWeather Colonial Life Arena has up to 18,000 capacity for Gamecocks men’s and women’s hoops

Yep, you found the one exception— Duke is the ONLY other major hoops program without ~14K+ seats in its home court. UNC: 21,750 KAN: 16,300 KTY: 20,545 ILL: 15,544 TEN: 21,678 MICH: 13,751 IND: 17,472 UMD: 17,950 UVA: 14,593 ARK: 19,368 UCLA: 13,800 OHST: 19,500 MSU: 14,797 LOU: 22,090 ARI: 14,688 PUR: 14,848 *UConn & NOVA have small on-campus arenas, but also play a lot of their big home games in nearby arenas with 20K seats. I’m not even saying Florida should double the O’Dome’s capacity to 20K or even time-and-a-half it to 16K. But Mike White is long gone. There’s excitement around this basketball program again. This is an elite program that’s maybe half a rung below blue-blood status. Which means a lot more than the ~11K people that can cram into the building currently will want to buy tickets to see Gator basketball play. And it’s not leaving that elite territory anytime soon. Todd Golden is young with a lot still left in the tank. Even when he one day leaves, the standards will still be high (3 national titles, 6 Final Fours, etc.) Please, people, stop acting like Florida basketball is not a top-flight program. It is, and it deserves to be treated as such. When it is, we win championships. Y’all literally just learned that lesson with #MidMajorMike.

@RichardRubinDC @igorbobic You just reminded me of my favorite McSweeneys parody piece of all time: Imagining an aging Trent Reznor in the future who becomes a spokesman for reverse mortgages. (Move over, Tom Selleck!) mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-fut…

@igorbobic Trent Reznor is 60 (he should consider the super-catch-up 401(k) contributions). If he were a senator, he would be in the bottom half of the age distribution -- between Bennet and McCormick.

@iamcolinquinn #DeepCut

That’s correct!

@iamcolinquinn @toddbarry Well, both Todd and Rex are University of Florida alums, so there’s that. Colin, did you do that on purpose? #ItsGreatUF

Sorry to hear it! I’ll tell you my closing joke! “And that’s why @toddbarry is the Rex Grossman of comedy! Goodnight!”

The half time show showed the importance of walkable mixed use neighbourhoods. House, bodega, nail salon, Ricky Martin… all in walkable distance.

Prince at Super Bowl halftime 2007:

Re: "Tampa Bay" vs. "Tampa Bay area" As an area native, it always amuses me to think this when someone says they're down there to do something in Tampa Bay: "Are you bringing a scuba tank? Because you're going to get awfully wet."

@kentbabb Oh, damn. So sorry. When you get back to SC, drinks are on me.

When I was in college, my dream job was to someday be a sports writer at The Washington Post. Unlikely, considering this podunk South Carolina kid couldn't even get an internship. I still remember opening the white envelope with a letter that basically said, NOPE. But in 2012, I got the call. Amazing. Truly. "That's the *liberal* newspaper, isn't it?" my mom replied. I was unbowed. Today I'm feeling many emotions, among them incredible gratitude. Most people never get their dream job. Let alone spend 13 1/2 years using sports as a way to explore identity, failure, grief and reinvention. Poverty, gun violence, masculinity and the wealth gap. Those topics are vegetables, blended up in a sports smoothie. For years I've known I was living the life of kings, and I told everybody I was a Postie till the place got wise and kicked me out. I went to Monaco and the White House, dined with Kobe Bryant, smoked waaaay too much weed in Seattle with Shawn Kemp before getting tangled up in some Christmas lights on the walk back. I remain undefeated in footraces against Roy Williams, un-run over by Marshawn Lynch's Tesla, un-sued by that jolly little coach in purple. Got to write about my own dad last year alongside @DaleJr and process some stuff I should've a long time ago. Two books, a million memories, a ton of friends. Today, alongside a lot of those friends, The Post decided to kick me out. But not before I had an insane amount of fun, told a few good stories, and walk away still feeling like the luckiest guy on earth. I was part of the most incredible team in sports journalism. If, on that day that internship rejection came, you'd have told me that I'd get 13 1/2 years here, shit, I wouldn't have believed you for a minute.

@RickMaese @washingtonpost Give 'em hell, Maese

Hello from Milan, where I’ll be covering the Winter Olympics for @washingtonpost. I suspect it will be a weird few days, but I plan to work through the chaos. It’s what our Olympics crew has always done – it’s what our incredible sports department has always done.

I can't believe we're gonna get to buy our Halloween costumes at the damn Kennedy Center.

While promoting the Emancipation album in 1996, a Dallas Morning News reporter asked him, "What's your most underrated album?" Prince's reply: "Underrated by who? God?"
