Looking for a sleeper at safety? Keep an eye on Austin Brown of @BadgerFootball. Terrific player and underrated athlete. Hit 44 inches in the vert- after they raised the device!! More later on @ES_sportsnews

@nhochman99 I'm sure I offered but you demurred. That's my story at least. :)

@dave_heller It was truly a great story filled with all truths and only minor deceptions. Why your college roommate didn’t get to accompany you is a gross oversight.

I was at this fight. It's quite the story of how I got there. (Right, @nhochman99? 🙂📞)

@m_widmeier you're a 1/1 human, too, Mitch! Thanks for posting. Hope all is well.

Out of nowhere one week this past year at one of our weekly meetups, Rich gave us a couple of his team issued jackets, which hannah wears proudly. A 1/1 human

Rich Bisaccia is one of the most genuine humans I’ve ever met. Every single week in-season the last two years he stopped to talk to my little sister even though she’s non-verbal. He never missed or skipped a single week. Wish him well with whatever is next

I have no memory of the 1975 Super Bowl but I’m beginning to understand what it must have been like to watch it.

Found one of the old clips. Have another but this one happened to be on top of my pile ha. Anyway, just sad news today about that sports department.

You really can't tell the players without a scorecard.

If you've never been to the Rose Bowl, highly recommend it, even if it will be maybe half-full and not quite the full atmosphere of the bowl game.

When I first started out I did a lot of freelance work, especially covering college basketball games for out-of-town papers - including the Washington Post. Was proud they used me. I also know a lot of people who worked in that sports dept. The rumors sadden me. #SaveThePost

I'm sorry Steelers fans. cc: @jdarindarst

Trying to imagine what I would have said if someone told me Indiana was going to win the national title in 2026 after losing to Wisconsin 83-20 in 2010. Or 59-7 in 2011. Or 62-10 in 2012. Or 51-3 in 2013. Or 45-17 in 2017. Heck, the Hoosiers were 3-9 two seasons ago! Amazing.

Then finished off by puking and passing out. Happy playoff season!

After a blah day of NFL games, the league goes out like a drunken reveler on New Year's Eve. Remains the best reality show in the world.

My annual tradition of posting Letterman's annual tradition with Darlene Love. It remains the best no matter what you do or don't celebrate. Here's to a better 2026. youtube.com/watch?v=x18rIF…

I worked with Pam at Mizzlou Sports News Network (RIP) in 1990. Even back then she knew what she wanted to do. Kudos to her for fulfilling that goal and having a nice, long, good career.

Second career receiving touchdown for Jackson Acker (and quite the catch). Other came Nov. 18, 2023 at home vs. Nebraska.

Correction: Changed to 67 yards.
