@markcstory Mark, I'm very sorry to hear about Frank, a fellow Glaswegian. As someone who was a prep sports reporter down in Alabama for about a dozen years, I can definitely say that Frank's website was far better than almost any other state association's recordkeeping, especially MaxPreps.

Hard to overstate the value that the KHSAA scoreboard & its archives that Frank Riherd created have had on sports in Kentucky. To say that it is a remarkable resource is a severe understatement. It should be a high-level priority to figure out how to keep scoreboard running.

@Devin_Heroux Not knowledgeable about squash, love the rest. Assuming cricket is Twenty20.

Officially added to the 2028 LA Olympics: Baseball Softball Lacrosse Flag Football Cricket Squash What sport are you most excited to watch on that list?

@ScottButtram I'm sure you know that Dearborn is a predominantly Muslim community.

A parade in Dearborn, Michigan supporting terrorism. Every single U.S. President since and including Ronald Reagan have lied through their teeth and promised to secure the southern border. #BipartisanLiars Here's where the Democrats and Republicans have gotten us. Parades for terrorists on U.S. streets.

@VitalVegas I get the joke. How about $2.69 around Owensboro, Kentucky?

In case you’ve been looking, $4.69.

@VitalVegas Uh... Culinary? (Duh )

Likely union demonstration on The Strip tonight, casinos are dusting off and putting up doors. Unlike during the pandemic, they have keys to the doors now (many had never locked their doors prior).

@RamsPhilsGSW @VitalVegas

@RobertLCarter @VitalVegas My mom still sends them to me..lol.

Postcards and mailboxes! Adorable! Next up, pay phones and pagers.

@RamsPhilsGSW @VitalVegas Yes. But they're telling you to mail a post card. (Didn't know they even had those still.)

@VitalVegas Sometimes it may pay to mail a package than (maybe) get charged excess baggage fees

@ScottButtram The Tutwiler is a Hampton Inn & Suites, yet the reporter calls it a "luxury hotel." I love Hampton Inns and stay there often, but they are by no means luxury, and that includes the Tutwiler. Do better.

Birmingham bowing down to some New Yorker is the most Birmingham thing ever. Because "he wants to ensure meaningful change is made." The city has had a Black mayor & majority for half a century. But, sure. Removing a historic photo should do it. al.com/news/2023/09/t…

@Michael06483673 @mattmurphyshow And yet, here you are.

@RobertLCarter @mattmurphyshow Listening to right wing radio is not doing any better!

I'd love Phil to use some of that courage and investigate the role Justin Jones had in covering up 2 sexual assaults outside the Tennessee State Capitol Summer of 2020. He is credibly accused. I have the posts, Phil... if you can't find them. Be BRAVE and go after a Democrat for once, Phil. Women matter. Sexual assault matters. #MeToo

@mattmurphyshow @Michael06483673 Matt, you would've liked an old-school newspaper reporter named Larry Brinton. Started at the Nashville Banner in the 1950s, an unlikely switch to TV in 1979 at Ch. 5, then to Ch. 4 in 2001. What a journalist. tennessean.com/story/news/201…

@RobertLCarter @Michael06483673 yep

@Michael06483673 @mattmurphyshow Murphy isn't a reporter. He's a talk commentator. There's a difference. Do better.

@mattmurphyshow As a reporter you should have done more research since you are new here. Megan Berry had to resign because of Phil’s reporting on her affair. Do better!!

@ScottButtram The Tennesseean hasn't been worth crap for quite a while.

3 of Alabama's 5 largest cities, Huntsville, Mobile, Birmingham, had newspapers shut down by out of state owners. The other 2 cities have daily newspapers run by these out-of-state folks. Montgomery Advertiser & Tuscaloosa News are now the newspaper dead pool favorites.

@palmettocurling Double wow!

Pack it up, gents. Nothing more to see here

@TomArenberg @ScottButtram I read this elsewhere. My eyes filled with tears.

To understand the importance of local journalism, and the threats to it, read this sad but compelling goodbye from a Pennsylvania owner. My latest blog post (2-minute read): tomarenberg.net/blog/2023/9/1/… @ScottButtram

@Devin_Heroux The NFL needs to use the CFL overtime format. This was awesome.

SASKATCHEWIN! RIDERS WIN A THRILLER IN OT A LABOUR DAY CLASSIC TO BE SURE

@mattmurphyshow Sad, as a Kentuckian. But it's time.

It happened again. Mitch needs to step down. #SAD

@ByCasagrande I almost forgot: Merritt Beason, who transferred to Nebraska from Florida, is from Gardendale High. She's at this game. Story idea?

This is just awesome. Game is airing on Big Ten Network.

@ByCasagrande It is awesome. Big downside, though, is the only way anyone more than 40 feet away from the court can see the game is on the big screen. But man, the fan support!

@bhambizjrnl The likelihood of Birmingham going metro is microscopic, not just because of race but because of big differences in politics. Birmingham is skewing even more liberal under its current mayor. Those politics won't fly in the burbs, some of the most conservative places in the USA.

@bhambizjrnl As a native Kentuckian, I can say confidently that the differences between Lexington and Birmingham are huge. Lexington's "suburbs" were/are almost all huge horse farms.

Birmingham doesn't need Mountain Brook, Vestavia or Hoover to grow bizjournals.com/birmingham/new…
