@RealLittwBritt I did this job 25 years ago for the East Mesa/ Apache Junction paper. I'm glad to see INI getting back into local coverage, it's so important to their communities.
Congratulations.

Some of you may have seen the official announcement yesterday, but I am SO PUMPED to finally say I’ve been hired with the Daily Independent in AZ as part of Report for America! I’ll be assisting with their high school sports coverage, specifically in the Northeast region of Phoenix. I’m beyond excited to get back to reporting full-time and I can’t wait to tell the stories of those who might otherwise go untold. Special thanks to everyone who has helped support me along the way to reach this milestone!

Rob Schumacher, who died at 62, spent more than 35 years telling stories through his photography at The Arizona Republic. Family and colleagues share memories. azcentral.com/story/news/ari…

@TJenkinsTampa Since when did the catcher's setup determine the strike zone?
English
Counterpoint: A baseball in the strike zone is a strike.
Chris Phillips@CPhilly19
I genuinely don’t give a fuck what the ABS system says … that ain’t a strike. You shouldn’t be able to miss your spot THAT BADLY and still get the call for strike three. What are we even doing?
English
I have no words for this. I shared the sidelines with Rob for many years. True professional and a good person.

Praying for family of local media legend who left us today. Rob Schumacher took so many photos at big events. And when he had one he knew I would like he would send to me with note saying “thought you would like this one” I liked them all. RIP helluva photographer and good man

@MrAzSports Even with the vote Meruelo would have messed it up. It just would’ve prolonged the inevitable.

Imagine if Tempe voters didn’t reject this and we still had our coyotes…. ☹️
PHNX Hockey@PHNX_Hockey
3 years ago today, Tempe voters rejected the Coyotes' proposed arena and entertainment district 💔

What is the biggest example of "greed" in sports? Why?
English
I’m often asked about the pegboard scene in VISION QUEST. That was all me. No stunt doubles or safety measures. I trained for a long time and had to climb it several times to get all the angles. The “trick” is not to over extend, so you’d be pulling up your entire body weight. You have to keep it compact. Arms and elbows tight. 💪🏽

@ClueHeywood As a Las Cruces native and NMSU alum, we appreciate it.
The boot heel is pretty bleak.

Next stop: Lordsberg New Mexico. I don’t have many nice things to say about southern New Mexico, but I’ll try: Ruidoso’s ok, Silver City’s ok, Las Cruces has good food, and the Aggies’ mascot still has his pistols, which is good. That’s all I can manage.
English
First stop: Benson, Arizona. The Amtrak “station” (a concrete pad) is conveniently right in front of the recently reopened Pages Palace, a very nicely renovated longtime western-style bar, went in December and it’s definitely worth a stop on your way to Tombstone and Bisbee.

Anyone else noticing Twitter is becoming like Facebook?
The same 10 posts from five people you actually follow wedged in between AI slop and three week old news stories.

@Bickley_Marotta I can't even watch hockey on tv anymore. My son was too small to appreciate the games I did take him too and now that he's the perfect age for it, we don't have that option.
Yes, I could take him to ASU, but it's not the same.
English
Do you miss the Arizona Coyotes and having hockey in the Valley? If so, what have you missed most? If not, why?
English
I wonder how the NFL will manage to schedule a game for Easter.
English
@jjcoop36 @RayTellesPIO But if you are an out of market fan that buys MLB TV (say Cubs fan living in Cincy) you cant watch the game on streaming when the Cubs play in Cincy.
English
MLB has made more significant changes to the game in the 2020s than we have seen in any decade since the 60s. (OK, maybe 70s if you include free agency).
Pitch clock.
Shift Ban.
NL DH.
ABS Challenge.
Limiting pickoffs.
Bigger bases.
Expanded Wild Card
Manfred Man.
(And more)

What is the greatest ending to any sporting event ever? Why?

@hankschulman Never have I been watching a ballgame and thought, "You know who I need to hear from? Jameis Winston."
English
Vasgersian, Pence, CC and Shehadi are pros. You have to work awfully hard with a foursome like that to create a hideous, worst-ever Opening Day broadcast. Amateurish (not the talent), some guy screaming from a canoe, something about a pirate, a bad score bug that disappeared ...

Kevin Kolb. Andy Isabella. Robert Nkemdiche. Michael Bidwill.

Give me your Mount Rushmore of Cardinals players, (all-time).

@Bickley_Marotta Best: Lew Alcindor or Bill Walton.
Favorite: Larry Johnson. He was a beast at UNLV during their heyday
Honorable Mention: Len Bias. Was bound for greatness before tragedy struck

Who is the greatest college basketball player of all-time?
And who is your favorite college basketball player of all-time?

@Kyle_Odegard I mean he did tell Josh, "Say what?!" that time. But that's about it.

Don’t think you’ll find many media members in AZ who had negative interactions with Kyler. That was a national narrative painted by outsiders.
Jason Harmon@JasonHarmonNFL
One thing I’m noticing is that the vast majority of Cardinals media members have nothing but glowing reviews of Kyler Murray as a person and competitor. That’s a very important endorsement from a group that has followed his entire NFL journey.
