In honor of the legend that is and will always be Prince, wear purple tomorrow. #LovePrinceWearPurple

@archeohistories He was also the captain of the Pomona college football team. An amazing human who walked away from family fortune to follow his dreams.

Kris Kristofferson (1978) - imagine if Brad Pitt was also a Rhodes scholar and best-selling musical artist.... By late 1970s, Kris Kristofferson had already lived a life that felt almost fictional in its range. A former U.S. Army helicopter pilot, he was also a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, studying literature while writing poetry and songs that would later reshape country and folk music. Walking away from a promising military career, he moved to Nashville and worked odd jobs, including janitorial work at Columbia Records, while pitching songs. His songwriting became legendary. Tracks like Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through the Night, and Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down blended poetic storytelling with raw emotional honesty, helping redefine country music in the late 1960s and 1970s. Beyond music, he built a successful acting career, starring in films like A Star Is Born (1976), which earned him a Golden Globe Award. Kristofferson symbolized an era when country music evolved from traditional storytelling into something more introspective and literary. His intellectual background and rugged artistic persona helped bridge the gap between counterculture songwriting and mainstream country success. Kris Kristofferson once famously landed a helicopter in Johnny Cash’s backyard to personally deliver a demo tape, an audacious move that helped launch his songwriting career. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

What would be the first thing you would do?

@GetUpESPN @Espngreeny I’m sorry to bring this up again, @GetUpESPN, but the audio quality of the remote hits from Jeff Saturday is simply awful. Foxworthy sounds great, while Jeff sounds like he’s using his laptop mic. How is this possible on a show with the budget to ensure such issues don’t arise?

"He has not silenced his critics. He has changed the narrative. ... He has rewritten his own story." —@Espngreeny on Sam Darnold

@RepDonDavis You voted to continue these actions. History will not be kind to you.

It is heartbreaking and unacceptable to see another family left mourning after such a tragic encounter with federal agents. My deepest condolences go out to the loved ones impacted by this devastating event in Minneapolis. Over the recent days, I have heard from people across the country expressing their desire for accountability and humanity. Our immigration laws can and must be enforced with respect for life and dignity. A thorough, independent investigation into this fatal shooting is essential to uncover the full facts and to ensure accountability can be determined. The Trump administration must take immediate and decisive action to bring an end to this violence and disorder that have taken lives and undermined public trust.

@j00ny369T Someone needs to teach her how to cut her own meat!

Blue rare or medium rare steak…

@Matt_Pinner Law firms. Used Car sales.

What industry would collapse first 🧐

@GetUpESPN @finebaum Somebody gift @jrodgers11 a new microphone system for his GetUp hits from the hotel. His mic sounds so thin it’s terrible. It’s been that way for weeks! Get a Rode system anything. They’re less than $200 ESPN can foot that bill.

"Their team looked soft, their coach looked soft, and their program looked soft." @finebaum weighs in on Alabama after getting eliminated by Indiana in the CFP 👀

@RareImagery I’ve seen something like this. Insane how good it is.

@YouTubeTV bring back ESPN now! No college football? No Get Up? No MNF ? Make a deal or we will be jumping to Direct TV.

@MLBONFOX 7-5 against that line up is winning baseball in Oct. Luis Gil is starting to comeback to form, they have got to clean up the bullpen.

The Yankees went 7-5 over the last two weeks against teams who currently hold a playoff spot in the American League. How are you feeling Yankees fans? 🤔

@DiamondHeels @LawyerNC Go Heels!

Happy birthday Caroline Warner Hightower. The graphic designer, arts executive & consultant, perhaps best known for being executive director of AIGA for almost 20 years, was born today in 1935. #GraphicDesign

@designonething Happy birthday Mom.

@MetSloth @DanAlanRourke You would know what that’s like.

@DanAlanRourke Yankees fans will need to spend a lot of reminiscing over the past because the future belongs to the Mets. Enjoy being the Lil bro of NY baseball.

Yup

@TUFootballTX we need to work on the stadium sound on the YouTube broadcast.

@butyouren0wave @HockeyDaily365 @ToddWalsh He has carried the emotion of this team for years.

Thank you, @ToddWalsh. Take five minutes and watch this. Promise it's worth it. #Yotes

@HockeyDaily365 @ToddWalsh To be a part of that was a privilege.

@jonstewart Your tribute to Dipper unleashed some pent up tears. We just had to put OUR “that one dog” to rest, Molly. She was from a shelter too, and she was the best. Thank you for sharing, I hope Dipper and Molly cross paths she loves to chase a ball in the snow too.

@jontweetssports When 4 quarters of an ass beating wasn’t enough.

Tonight's National Anthem was performed by Suzyn Waldman. Suzyn was the very first voice ever heard on WFAN radio. She has been a beat reporter, TV analyst, play by play broadcaster, and is the first and only woman ever to have a full-time analyst job with a Major League team.
