@SteveGleason Oh, I wish I had shot this picture. ;-) Thanks for this post, Steve.

I don't deserve tried this Life!! I don't deserve it ... All the people who have supported me. The adventures. The smiles & laughter. The challenges. The beauty. The pain. The wisdom. The tears. The joy. The suffering. The liberation from suffering. The moments like this...

I enjoyed working on this feature on Arch Manning dallasnews.com/sports/texas-l…

The Last Days of Isle de Jean Charles: A Louisiana tribe’s struggle to escape the rising sea nola.com/news/environme…

Today's Times-Picayune includes a special section of The Last Days of Isle de Jean Charles -A Louisiana tribe’s long, bitter struggle to control its destiny as rising seas force a move to higher ground. it was a pleasure working with @tristanbaurick on this amazing story.

This story is beautifully written and a pleasure to read on a Sunday morning - but also a sad reminder of the inequity worsened by climate change. nola.com/news/environme… via @nolanews

Today's Times-Picayune features an 8-page special section about a tribal community's long struggle with climate change and the painful and often contentious process of relocating to higher ground.

@tooleyeric Same to you, buddy. Glory to God

No introduction necessary. Just watch and enjoy. You won’t be sorry. Jackie Wallace is amazing. youtube.com/watch?v=qfyczX…

@jemelehill Respectfully, don’t miss his point about courage.

This might be a difficult concept for Jim Harbaugh of any anti-choice person to grasp … but if you don’t want an abortion, just don’t get one. Not that hard.

From one nursing home resident to his new friend down the hall.

“When y’all came to visit last week, it’s like y’all gave me a vitamin C shot.” Jackie Wallace’s words of joy…. when he called this morning to say he’s counting his blessings. #yououghttodoastoryaboutme

@JSODonoghue @ScottLSternberg It is a fascinating chapter of Louisiana sports history. Thank you @JSODonoghue

@ScottLSternberg @TedJacksonPhoto It was a great anecdote from @TedJacksonPhoto's book -- one that has stuck with me. (FWIW Jackie was not removed from the team because he hadn't taken that class, but he didn't have many people to throw the ball to because of it.)

I learned a lot about this episode from "You Ought To Do A Story About Me" -- @TedJacksonPhoto's book about Jackie Wallace. (Jackie was on the St. Aug team that integrated the LHSAA.) It's pretty fascinating. #lalege #lagov

@VicVela1 So poignant for you to post this today, as Jackie has wrestles with more consequences of his addiction, his CTE, his selfish pride. We don’t give up, his spirit doesn’t give up, but the consequences are so painful to watch. His endless guilt. His endless quest for redemption.

When photojournalist @TedJacksonPhoto found former NFL player Jackie Wallace sleeping under an overpass in 1991, it was the start of a lifelong friendship. But addiction is hard on the people who love you. Ted shares his wisdom with folks who have loved ones hooked on drugs:

@VicVela1 @COPublicRadio @CPRNews I sent the link to Jackie this morning…and to his family as well.

@TedJacksonPhoto @COPublicRadio @CPRNews Thank you, Ted, for sharing your story with us. It's quickly become one of my favorite episodes. Jackie has a lot of folks rooting for him.

In 1990, New Orleans photojournalist @TedJacksonPhoto was taking pics of a homeless camp. A man says, “You ought to do a story about me.” “Because I played in 3 Super Bowls.” Jackie Wallace and Ted Jackson: On the Season Three finale of Back from Broken: cpr.org/podcast-episod…

Back From Broken: “There’s gonna be times in this episode when you’ll think Jackie is all in the clear, just like Ted thought. But the unfortunate reality is addiction doesn’t let go of people easily.” Take a listen. Your day will be blessed. cpr.org/podcast/back-f…

“Back From Broken” will bless your day Jackie and I are honored to be interviewed by Vic Vela for Colorado Public Radio, a podcast about recovery. Take a listen. Your day will be blessed. Jackie’s indomitable spirit will bring a smile to your face. cpr.org/podcast/back-f…

@tmorris504 @johnmcquaid @MSchleifstein @BobMarshallTP Thank you @tmorris504 @jimamoss and Doug Parker for the opportunity to work with such a great team. I think of this series as the canary in the wetlands.

25 years ago today, I was blessed to be part of a team that was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for The Times-Picayune series "Oceans of Trouble." Thank you, @johnmcquaid @MSchleifstein @BobMarshallTP @TedJacksonPhoto
