@Hartsy43 @NHLFlyers if we win tonight, Boush should not be allowed in the broadcast booth in Philly! Lol!

@BizNasty2point0 come on…now that last period between @Senators and @Canes definitely had scumbags fights. Nothing will ever be worse than the @NHLFlyers. Call a scumbag a scumbag! Be better Bizz!

@TNTSportsUS @NHLFlyers Hey look, here is the “Scumbag” or reporters…

@spittinchiclets @reeses How many power plays did Pitt have? Pitt’s PP has been outplayed by the Flyers PK all series!

What the hell are the Pittsburgh Penguins doing?? @reeses

@BradMarshNHL @billmeltzer @FlyersAlumni @NHLFlyers Is that jersey made by Eagle?

Packing my bags for the Alumni playoff road trip to Pittsburgh, trying to decide what to wear? My game worn Flyers jersey or my Flyers suit from my son’s bachelor party? @flyersalumni @nhlflyers

@stephenasmith Stick to covering basketball and football…it is apparent you do not know how quickly things can change in a tournament, let alone a major. At least we did not have to hear you scream.

Watching my golf and seeing Rory McILROY falling about by the seams. Bad enough he lost a 6-Shot lead on Saturday, walking into Sunday as a co-leader, but now he’s missing gimme’s, surrending the lead to Cameron Young, who’s now got a 2-Shot lead. Not Good. Not Good at all

President Trump’s executive order on college sports is below. Three key provisions: 1. Five years of total eligibility 2. Only “one” free transfer without sitting. 3. No players can return from pros. Goes into effect on 8/1. Common sense & solid: whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

Junior 27’@kwigo08 for Marple Newtown has been very efficient in his first 3 outings: 1st outing : 83 pitches (57 strikes), 7ip, 3 hits, 1 ER, 6 Ks 2nd outing: 65 pitches (47 strikes), 2 hits, 0ER, 7Ks 3rd outing: 38 pitches (20 strikes), 0ER, 1 hit, 1K @MNAthletics @PBT_BellRingers @bdell924 @MNBaseball1 @DelcoBaseball1

Congrats to MN baseball downing undefeated Germantown Academy… Cole Buckley lined a two-run single in the bottom of the fourth, and that was enough for Marple Newtown in a 2-0 win over Germantown Academy Wednesday. The Tigers (2-2) got it done on the mound with a staff effort. Kevin Wigo started with two innings, followed by hitless work from Patrick Kelly and Carter Patterson. Aiden Carney earned the win with two scoreless frames, striking out three, and Aidin Curran shut the door for the save. Buckley went 2-for-2 to pace the offense, while Jordan DiPinto and Jackson Burger each doubled for Marple (2-2). @MNAthletics

@DrBradJohnson My motto as an admin. is… “Teachers are professionals, just do not give me a reason not to treat you like one!” Trust is a big piece of this!

It’s Time to Do Away with Standardized Teacher Evaluations Teacher evaluations are starting to look a lot like standardized testing for students. We built both for accountability. We were told both would improve outcomes. They didn’t. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation MET study showed we got better at identifying differences between teachers. That’s it. It didn’t lead to widespread improvement in teaching. It just gave us a more organized way to sort people. Same thing happened with testing. It didn’t suddenly make kids better learners. It changed behavior. Schools adjusted to the system. More focus on what’s measured. Less on what’s not. Teacher evaluation follows that same path. Put a rubric in place, and people start thinking about the rubric. What gets checked gets attention. Everything else fades. Charlotte Danielson built her framework for reflection and professional conversation. We turned it into scoring, which it was never designed to do. Now it’s less about getting better and more about where you land. And here is part of the problem, in education, when something doesn’t work, our instinct is to add more. More walkthroughs. More categories. More data. More forms. We keep stacking layers on top of a system without ever stopping to ask a simple question: Is this even the right approach? Not “How do we improve it?” But “Should we be doing this at all?” Because if the foundation is off, adding more just makes it more complicated. Not better. Now we’re talking about running that same system through AI. Faster write-ups. Automated feedback. Cleaner reports. Still the same system. We built it for efficiency, not for people. So it does what it was designed to do. It standardizes. It documents. It creates consistency. It doesn’t develop professionals. After years of refining this—more structure, more detail, more time—we’re still not seeing the kind of improvement that justifies it. At some point, you stop tweaking and admit the idea itself might be off. And here’s the reality—many of the highest-performing systems in the world don’t even use a standardized teacher evaluation model like we do. It’s time to do away with it. Keep feedback. Keep accountability. Lose the system built on rubrics, checklists, and scores. Replace it with leadership that actually helps people get better. Aspirational Conversations. Coaching. Knowing your teachers well enough to support them. If teachers are professionals, they shouldn’t be evaluated like this. And most people in schools already know that.

@FixingEducation Remove any 3 kid?!?!??? That’s a disgrace…..that’s certainly not a way to “Fix Education”

@USABaseball @Phillies @MLB @MLBNetwork Is it me or does Harper not look elite?

@FlyersAnt This is what happens when they hire former players….the front office saying we need to be patient is getting very old!

Tocchet’s first year has been awful. No, I don’t expect amazing results. No, I don’t expect him to turn average players into elite game changers. Just seems like the fit isn’t right. The unnessesary comments, lack of adjustments, etc. Hopefully I’m wrong.

@ViolationsGreg @MLB @Phillies It’s a slap in the face to season ticket holders.

My brother, buddy, and I have had partial-season tix for Phillies games since 2004. @MLB and @Phillies only allowing us to buy 2 tix for All-Star game is ridiculous. Thanks for appreciating us sitting through all those terrible years of Phillies baseball. Corporations win again!

@BenVerlander Someone call Jack Hughes !!!

If USA doesn’t win this game there is a very real chance the don’t get out of pool play

@23jbird @VerizonSupport I have had better success using Verizon on Twitter for new phones….always used it for Verizon cable until we went to YoutubeTv. Much better and faster on twitter

@VerizonSupport over an hour on the phone and did not rectify sending new phone 🫤🙄

@ProFootballTalk I would think they have bigger issues to worry about

The Competition Committee is discussing keeping those college football cut off game pants out of the NFL. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…
