@girdley Been one for 10+ years as a JD/MBA. When done right, you teach us your decision making principles and point out your blind spots/weaknesses, and we’re a team. Massive force multiplier. Smaller biz, likely a GM style role.

Done right, a CoS has full access. They come to many/most meetings. Robyn knows my near-term and long-term plans. She’ll work with all my direct reports at some point. And there’s a high level of trust.

PSA: You need a Chief of Staff. I hired one last year: My productivity doubled – and I’m having a ton more fun. I regret not doing it years ago. Here's a thread on how I did it:

@MikeCalcara @2001TJSahara Hope not but our cases are against dealers you’d never expect, but 98% on used car deals.

@Suburbdadchris @2001TJSahara Not my guys. Which is what I’m realizing. Having my network is worth a ton

Help! If you waited 45 days for your new Land Cruiser to arrive and I had to tell you it fell off the delivery truck at the dealership and totaled. How would you respond and what compensation would you expect? 🤣 Asking for a friend……..

@SAOliver_Atty @FabianSani8 I agree and I had never even practiced (am bar’d though) critical thinking and confidence in yourself are best byproducts.

@FabianSani8 Yes - getting a law degree was the best professional decision I've ever made.

If you’re being completely honest with yourself, knowing everything you know now… would you still choose to study law all over again?

@dennistlin @Ken_Rosenthal @Britt_Ghiroli Puerto Rico born 🇵🇷

A group led by Chelsea co-owner José E. Feliciano and his wife, Kwanza Jones, is nearing a deal to buy the Padres for what will be a record-shattering $3.9 billion, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal, @Britt_Ghiroli and me. The Wall Street Journal was on it.

@2001TJSahara @MikeCalcara They will. We had a case just like this, tried to hide $39k in damages. Autofraud.com

@MikeCalcara Surprised they didn't try to repair it and sell it as new. I've seen some things in my day, Toyota included.

@Clutch__Chris It’s got to be TV money trickle down, sir ain’t the weather…

It’s all Big East and Big Ten for the former Aztecs so far. Can’t blame them at all, they deserve every penny earned. Miles Byrd ➡️ Providence Magoon Gwath ➡️ DePaul BJ Davis ➡️ Creighton Pharaoh Compton ➡️ Oregon Taj DeGourville ➡️ ? Miles Heide ➡️ ?

@AztecAnalytics @GoodZibes One ball, 5 spots on the floor and like 50 good / great programs. Everyone finds a roster, bummer is the lack of fan connection over time. Mercenary

@GoodZibes Will be hard to get him to come over OSU - he’s from suburb Columbus area

Portal season is so sick when it’s about players possibly going to your team instead of leaving

@CaddieNetwork Greatest Game Ever Played book is my favorite sport printed material. Half about Quimet and half about Vardon who had been left to die of TB. Fascinating.

Had enough live golf? Check out these Top 10 Golf Movies.

@realEstateTrent If parents are delusional in HS, especially after freshman year, I feel so bad for the kids. The truth is right there for all to see.

This morning I was talking to one of the attorneys we work with. He’s also been a high school basketball referee for years. I brought up this topic, and his response was interesting. He said you barely see the parent craziness in high school. By then, everyone already knows which kids are actually elite, and which ones aren’t. There’s no illusion left. It’s really just a younger kids phenomenon where every parent thinks their kid exceptional. Reality shows up eventually.

@AztecAnalytics He’d love Vandy- Nashville, unlimited donors and SEC competition. He’s earned whatever he gets.

Miles Byrd Will decide between Baylor, Louisville, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Providence, Texas and Vandy. Excited to see where he chooses. I have a lean.

@TS_Secrets Freshman orientation for student and parents was the biggest customer service experience of my life. Btw - the product is an experience (see rec centers) not the path to a vocation other than majors like nursing.

The student loan industry collected $67 billion in interest last year. Colleges raised tuition 180% since 1990. Wages grew 19% in the same period. This was not an accident. It was a business model. And your 18 year old was the customer. The trades were always the exit. They just never told you where the door was. Day 94 tagging @mikeroweworks because we want to prove that trades deserve some awareness.

@jonschaeffer @RyanJMoore4 Giving Coaches Fishet and Dutcher, who landed Howard and triggered it all, was the highlight of an awesome altcast from a beloved group that changed that tourney and game forever. Ordered my tshirt from their fabfive.com site already.

During tonight’s Alt Cast, the Fab Five spoke glowingly about their time with Steve Fisher while also making the case that he should be in the Naismith Hall of Fame.

@BayerRuss23 More disrespect for the catcher?

Been a HS coach for 23 yrs, played D1 baseball+a minor league career. I will never comprehend a collegiate pitching coach who recruited+signed a player, calling pitches for them. I DO NOT call pitches. I am not behind the dish, Im not w/ the ump- I dont see what works that night

@AztecTracker They still excluded from NIL?

Aztec Tracker has word that SDSU hoops is targeting international prospects specifically from France and Italy in the portal. 👀

@flowsdoc Play catch with him, find a rec coach that prioritizes fun and doesn’t overuse him. Skip All Stars. Sign him up for 3 other rec sports.

Being a youth baseball parent is hard. My 7-year-old loves the game—wants to train all the time. Talked to a dad whose son just went through the travel ball gauntlet… all the names, programs, connections. Felt the FOMO… Then it hit me—we don’t need to chase everything. We just need to enjoy the game and let them grow. Any advice?

@CoachSwit Intimidate with the 90, hope and be confident with your out machine in the wings.

Serious question for H.S. coaches: You need ONE win to make the state playoffs. Who are you starting? 90+ with control issues (probably walking 6) or 80–82, 3 pitches for strikes, no walks—but might get hit? No wrong answer here.

@OverdueSports @CollegeBSBShow From the best young citizens alive.

A walk off bunt to kick off the Army Navy series??? This is the best matchup across all college sports. We get small ball in baseball and the triple option in football, beautiful 🤌🏻

@AJCassavell Are we going to be wondering if he should have been taking the bump every 5 games later this year? Guaranteed appearances and control

Mason Miller was not available for four outs tonight, Craig Stammen said. That decision was made pregame. "It will be an option at some point in the season," he said. "Just not in Game 2."

@Aztec_MBB @Clutch__Chris @_mbyrd21 Such a classy way of handling this, pro college ball awaits this great Aztec. Can’t wait to stand and cheer his visit on a couple years. Best of luck #21!

Thank you @_mbyrd21 for an amazing four years. Your impact on this program will last forever. A soon to be college graduate and forever an #AztecForLife! #GoAztecs

@BBGreatMoments Talked about on @allthesmokeprod at length. Way too many takes, arm was killing him

Out of all baseball movies, MLB pitchers have stated Charlie Sheen has the most accurate delivery. Rumor has it when he would throw at full velocity on set he could hit the high 80's 🔥
