For my @NYUSPS Sport PR students: Too little, too late. “Dawn deserved respect in that moment, and I didn’t give it.” Start there. Then apologize to Dawn, her players, and his own. If he was stewing on that all game (which he was), he wasn’t there for his team. Felt like a premeditated moment to me.

@soshnick Almost as bad as …renderings

And the first April Fools’ Day has Arrived

Over the weekend, Nestlé confirmed that thieves had swiped 413,793 units of KitKats. What the company lost in chocolate, though, it gained back in a public-relations coup—as did multiple other companies quick to hop on the meme bandwagon. 🔗 on.wsj.com/3PW0w4J

@DougTammaro Went to Larry’s camp my senior year. Great man. Laduke was a legend in high school football. The beast from Alhambra. Good to see life treated them both right.

Great to see Coach Marmie and Nathan LaDuke at practice tonight.

@DougFeinberg @kendra__andrews @TheCharlotteSue Langham 4… Sac 3….

Proud to be part of the Sacramento 3 with @kendra__andrews and @TheCharlotteSue

Leadership like this doesn’t fade, it compounds. Saw @BrendaFrese back in college while I was doing stats for @ArizonaWBB same fire, same edge, same belief 36 years later. Put me on her team, any sport, any day.

@LeBatardShow @DavidPSamson @NPDSclips A man like @DavidPSamson who can’t stand to see women win is just a small man afraid of losing his place.

Let's talk about the WNBA...

@colincsalao Known to me as “my whole apartment”

From Indian Wells: Tennis players are sick of backstage cameras catching their post-match meltdowns. The ATX Open went viral for adding a potential solution called the “Rage Room." I asked players if this absurd concept could actually work. A fun one ⬇️ frontofficesports.com/rage-room-tenn…

@achristovichh But why? 🤗

We are going in.

@RossDellenger @PeteNakos Amazing! So many athletes.

Behold, the college sports presidential roundtable from the White House

@KelleyLCarter So deserved

Anyway ….. catch me on GMA tomorrow morning! Excited for you all to see my piece! My first original pitch for the morning show! Xoxo

@NYMag You kinda suck. #NYLiberty

In an era of largely underwhelming professional sports in New York, the Knicks have emerged as one of the city’s most consistently winning teams — and with that, as one of the most expensive tickets in town. New York Knicks season-ticket holders and superfans share how to buy cheap tickets that aren’t in the nosebleeds, the best time to get a hot dog, and the secret escalator for avoiding the throngs: nymag.visitlink.me/l6-XOy

@GRIDCamps_CEO Where in the….

Another day at the office

@CandaceDBuckner Huge victory for The athletic.

hmmm does this mean they can finally describe me as ‘athletic?’ Oh and btw, I want you to put the word out there… we back up 🙌🏽 nytco.com/press/the-athl…

Pressure reveals leadership. When the questions get uncomfortable, you don’t look for someone else to carry it. Public blame and threats toward your own team isn’t strength. Step up. Be better.

Superb lesson for my @nyutischsports media, PR, broadcast students. This applies to all aspects of media and also my profession of PR. Thanks @HowardWKYT #storytelling

@franfraschilla @IanBegley @NCAA #PardonBook

⁦@IanBegley⁩, we are respectfully working behind the scenes with the ⁦@NCAA⁩ to give Book Richardson some relief. Hoping that they understand that the penalty is over the top (he has a “show case” until the early 2030’s) and “freeing” Book would be a win for everyone
