With @colincowherd endlessly hyping the Javaris Crittenton doc, i decided to read up on it wow, this piece by @FlinderBoyd on Crittenton's story is tremendous (and also real sad) foxsports.com/stories/other/…

I wrote about the history of #Altadena and its Black legacy & the resilience of families who’ve shaped the community for generations. #EatonFire bet.com/article/7a2tc6…

@KimzeyMichelle Aw, thank you, Michelle. That means a lot, and yes, she has her dog, so all is not lost!

@FlinderBoyd I am so sorry to hear this! It is awful. I am glad she and her dog are safe❤️.

It's been a wild day in LA. My twin sister's apartment building burned to the ground in the Palisades fire. She lost everything. Luckily she left with her dog and is safe. This is the aftermath -- Sunset Blvd and Marquez Ave.

Pre-fire

If you're inclined, there's a gofund me - gofund.me/a759baf6 Or, send good vibes. Either works.

@wselna123 This is from the village going toward Marquez.

@FlinderBoyd So sorry, that is horrible. I was wondering for some friends/family, how do the apartments look after the intersection with the dominos? Going toward the village?

@alexnazaryan Thank you 🙏

@FlinderBoyd Oh man. Glad she is safe, though.

@FuztheWriter Thanks brother 🙏

@FlinderBoyd Yoooo so sorry to hear that fam!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

@SeraphJo @phillipgolub That one also burned down. The next one west, The Palisades Hawaiian apartments

@phillipgolub @FlinderBoyd Pacific Garden Apts?

@phillipgolub Yes, this is on the southside of Sunset, just west of both Marquez Terrace and Marquez Ave.

@FlinderBoyd So sorry for your losses. Question: are you sure this isn't Marquez Terrace? I'm asking because there's another building at Sunset and Marquez Ave?

@stackmack Thank you! Yes, luckily she had her dog. So all was not lost. 💙

@FlinderBoyd man i’m so, so sorry. so glad she and her dog are safe, but my goodness. 💜

@ChrisCillizza @GUHoyasMSoccer If the two best teams are full of international players, then they are doing it right (and raising the level). The problem is not the colleges, it's the youth system that isn't developing players good enough to play high-level college soccer.

🧵 1/ I watched the NCAA men's soccer championship match on Monday night. It was an amazing game -- won by Vermont in OT. It was also evidence of the crisis in which college soccer finds itself. Here's @GUHoyasMSoccer head coach Brian Wiese: “It truly is the most difficult time to be a high-end American soccer player to find a home that I can think of." Let's break it down:
