Josh Elliott

I met Grant Wahl on my first day in the @SI offices, and was struck by his uncommon kindness and compassion. He was as tremendous a person as he was brilliant and fearless a journalist, and his commitment to his craft—then and now—was without peer. May you rest in peace, Grant.

RIP Vin. The greatest to ever do it, the greatest who will ever do it, as great a human being as he was at the mic—and the greatest Dodger of them all. Just a crusher.

@northernsky29 @mistererickson Oh, I didn't think you did, Jim. I'd logged on to send my first tweet in forever (to wish my 12yo a happy birthday), after having not visited Twitter much these last few years. Saw your tweet and wanted to respond. (And forgot the b-day tweet, which I definitely heard about....)

@JoshElliott32 @mistererickson Didn't mean anything by it... Just remembered some things from way back. There's certainly nothing wrong with being gay. Sorry he passed...

Remember @JoshElliott32? He was on EVERY network news program in the 2010s. Where is he? There's a story here...

@northernsky29 @mistererickson Not a rumor, Jim. My father was gay. He was also a remarkable human being, and was taken from us too soon—but not before being the man and the dad that I strive to be, every day.

@mistererickson @JoshElliott32 Heard rumors... His father was gay? Or it could have been him... I can't recall.

These allegations, if true, are far more than just “awkward” (per the NYT story) for the NFL. Personally, I’d go with horrifying. ————————————— N.F.L. Concussion Settlement Payouts Show Racial Bias, Black Players Say - The New York Times nytimes.com/2020/08/25/spo…

.@SI_ChrisBallard wrote one of the best stories in the history of Sports Illustrated. "The Courage of Jill Costello." If you've never read it, you won't regret clicking on this: si.com/more-sports/20…

@jackdickey Have enjoyed your work immensely there, even as the place itself changed (and changed, and...). Looking forward to your landing....

@SI_ChrisBallard Yours was an epic run, Chris--and has been since the day you walked in to the @dailynexus sports office, lo those many years ago, and will be, on your way to what's next. And as ever, proud to have walked some of that path with you....

After almost 20 years, today is my last at Sports Illustrated. Hell of a ride. I got to work alongside childhood idols, collaborate with some of the best editors in the business, and live out a dream. Best job in the world, I always said, and it was. A few thoughts:

@McCallum12 @SI_ChrisBallard On a day we've invoked lots recently. At least it was a legitimate finish....

@nytimes @AJNierenberg As I windshield-wipe tears upon finishing this--while I look at recent pics of my daughters, 12 and 11, unburdened as yet by what looms on our collective horizon--I wanted to thank you for writing it. Here's to your dad (a hero, I'd argue) winning his fight, and soon....

In Opinion "I don’t know how to say “I love you, Dad,” better than to do so often and simply. So for now, we’re just going to enjoy each other’s company, open another bottle of wine and hope for the best," writes Amelia Nierenberg nyti.ms/2QPb0lb

Definitely tweet-worthy—especially if it means @RubemRobierbArt is coming back too. Now that’s a fellow I’ve really missed.... Love you, brother. “Happy” doesn’t begin to describe it....

.@RichMcHughNBC is, simply, the most forthright and unassailably ethical producer I’ve known. He was my partner for years at @abcnews and afterward, and there is no more honest—or talented—a journalist. The work he’s done has meant so much to so many, and I’m proud to know him.

It’s going to be so very hard to leave this place, after our finale of #YellowstoneLive on ⁦@NatGeoChannel⁩ tonight at 9 ET. Work has never been so wild. Hope you’ll join us....

@bworley It’s been really remarkable, Becky, to spend time with some many folks for whom all this wildlife and geology are day jobs. And, as ever, it’s great to yap with you here, though I might be leaning toward...Great Barrier Reef, perhaps?

@JoshElliott32 Yellowstone Live is one of the most innovative pieces of TV I've seen in a long time. I love you in this role sports+documentary: amazing. Can we do Volcanoes National park next?

Night Three of #YellowstoneLive on @NatGeoChannel is minutes away at 9 ET. It’s been another remarkable day here—photos don’t lie—and the night figures to be the same. Hope you’ll join us.

Our office for Night Two of #YellowstoneLive on @NatGeoChannel, on the way at 9 ET. It’s been quite a day thus far—and should be quite a night. Hope you’ll join us....

One thing you quickly learn here in Yellowstone: the park always wins. Relatedly: hope you’ll join us on @NatGeoChannel at 9ET for #YellowstoneLive ....

@McCallum12 @NatGeoChannel Negotiations have ensued....

Twenty minutes out from #YellowstoneLive on ⁦@NatGeoChannel⁩. Join us at 9 ET for a look at this remarkable park and its residents, grizzly and otherwise....
