on the NFL Anthem rules today:
"I'm not surprised - the NFL cares about one thing and that's the NFL - that's the bottom line...I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed."

Quite a touching moment as the entire

This is Mandy Hanson’s youngest son. Age 5.
He has progressive cerebellar atrophy and is physically handicapped. He also has 10 therapies a week.
Today, he took his very first independent steps.
This is the Twitter content I’m here for.🌎❤️
Bobby Wagner represented himself and got a deal making him $18 million a year with $40.2 million guaranteed...
With nobody else getting a cut.

Yes, Coach Leach ran with/from me at halftime.
No, it doesn’t bother me. So please, don’t let it bother you. We have a great relationship.
He was doing his job, I was doing mine. Our compromise was a running interview and I loved it.
Cheers to the north.

Gardner Minshew walked into a program that didn’t know him, and also didn’t know how much they needed him
His emotion tonight will never be forgotten. He loves this team and it’s mutual.
I’m very lucky to have seen this 2018

The next time I go to a bar to watch a game & see a group of guys sitting together I’m definitely gonna ask each one, down the line, where they went to college, make them prove they know football and 1000% percent loudly talk about which one is most attractive - seems fair
The period between Super Bowl and NFL new year is what I like to refer to as “read into EVERYTHING” season…
That being said, I’m really digging

Pete Carroll stood firmly behind Jason Myers following the Bucs game, when Myers missed a potential game winner.
This is the way he coaches, and the confidence he instills in his players paid off with Myers.
Simply put, Mike Leach makes everyone around him better at what they do…through various and non-traditional methods.
He made me a better reporter, that’s for sure. But he also made me think deeper and laugh louder.
Keep Coach and his family in your thoughts 💕
Michael Dickson tells Jen Mueller he was supposed to run around in the endzone, mile the clock and get out the back...until he saw a 'massive gap' and ran for the first.
"I just had to go for it."
#Seahawks
Richard Sherman’s media appearances leading up to this game and his interaction with Russell afterward definitely changed the way I thought he viewed the
#Seahawks
and Wilson.
He showed a ton of respect and no resentment. I was really glad to see it & love the healthy rivalry
Thank you Tom Rinaldi, for perfectly embodying the passion I have for this business.
And
@espn
for telling stories that truly matter. This IS what it’s all about.
Russell tells Salters that he and Sherman were catching up when they exchanged jerseys, discussing how crazy the game was. He calls him a HOF player.
"We've had a lot of battles together."

From ESPN: In Seattle, College GameDay in their first trip to Pullman, was the second-highest College GameDay on record & the best in the market since 2013. Throughout the entire nation, the show delivered a Nielsen total live audience of 1,801,000 viewers (ESPN & ESPNU)

Dori Monson was a friend to me.
We did not agree on many things.
What we agreed on was being kind and being good people. He always was - to me, his family and those around him, especially his wife and daughters.
All of my love to the Monson family 💕
“Who cares?” And “Shut up!”?
I thought Pat was funny and brought a unique perspective on things.
A former player trashes on a program fighting for their brothers, the history and everything that makes college football & a TEAM great - the nicest word I can use is disappointing
Earlier this week, Wazzu head coach Jake Dickert and former QB Ryan Leaf criticized College GameDay for turning Oregon State-Washington State into a joke.
Pat McAfee appeared to respond this morning. And then some.
Does anyone else notice that

It's been a real bright spot on my timeline
Mike Holmgren on DK Metcalf:
“His maturity level needs to change…don’t let the other guy see you sweat.
He’s talented, he’s fast and big and unique - but it seems you can get more out of him. I think Lockett has been the game changer.”

Me too. And I can’t stop thinking about it.

They say you’ll never work a day in your life if you love what you do. Certainly felt like it this season.
Thank you

for a season I’ll never forget and the most fun I’ve had covering this team.

Pete Carroll on the safety play last night, including Quandre Diggs' debut:
"The play out of the safety position was the best we've seen all year...I'm anxious to see Q (

) come back again, we're just starting."
#Seahawks
I love working in broadcasting for every team I’m so fortunate to cover. Tonight was extremely special at Safeco Field - sure it’s a baseball game in June, but the
@Mariners
have something very rare going on and I’m grateful to witness it so closely.
My favorite part of Wade LeBlanc's postgame was the "World's Best Dad" trophy in his locker - he said his kids wanted to get it for him so his wife took them and got it made. He also said that's a trophy he'll have to earn every day.
My heart also melted. Happy Father's Day!
Just got off the phone with Bob Robertson. Such a touching conversation.
I am so fortunate he took me under his wing in 2012 when I began sideline reporting for
@WSUCougFB
- his confidence in me made me better.
He wanted me to send the message: “Go win one for me. Go Cougs.”
Abe Lucas is one of the best tackles I’ve covered in my time covering college football.
Phenomenal talent, driven by hard work and extremely talented.
Washington native and this must be the dream.

What an outstanding year for the

, especially amidst a ton of doubt.
If John Schneider and Pete Carroll are overlooked AGAIN for Executive and Coach of the year, respectively, I don’t know when they will ever win it.
They most certainly deserve it.
The guy sitting directly across the aisle from me on this plane tried to get the flight attendant to say "Go Utes" over the announcements.
I quickly responded "No say Go Cougs you know what state you're in."
He hates me so much right now. Gonna be a long flight.
#GoCougs
Mariners making history!! Mitch Haniger’s homerun ties the most consecutive games with a dinger in a team’s first 14 games.
Really can’t get enough of this team.
Shaquill Griffin says Richard Sherman taught him how to track the ball in the air, says he’ll use the advice he gave him for the rest of his life.
“That’s one of the best mentors you can have.”
Adds, “He’s a brother to me, I consider him an older brother.”

RUSSELL WILSON ADMITS HE THREW THE SHOE ON
@710ESPNSeattle
!!!!!!!!!
Ok, he said they were running hurry-up and the shoe was right where he was gonna snap the ball and he didn't know whose it was BUT...
HE ADMITS HE THREW THE SHOE!
People are hurting.
This lady — visibly upset — went in for the hug on this Louisville, Kentucky police officer.
He accepted.
It lasted nearly a minute.🌎❤️
What a game. What a season. Respect to the Huskies for a game well played.
Thank you
@WSUCougFB
for one of the best seasons to cover in my time here. Classy team, wonderful people and the time of my life.
Be safe and stay warm everyone!
I can’t express how much fun covering this
@Mariners
team is. First six game win streak of the year, season high 22 games above .500 and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. The future is most certainly bright.
My baby has many diabetes related issues, including on the affects his skin.
So I bought him a t-shirt to protect him from the sun and keep him from irritating it.
I think he looks so handsome.
This is just such a great night. I’m so happy right now.
I can also assure you that Gardner is 💯 genuine. Nothing is contrived - he is a great person and teammate. Was always great to me and I am so thrilled to see him succeed at this level.

re: Marshawn Lynch:
"He'll be flying in here this morning and we're gonna give him a really good chance to come back and play for us...I think it's freakin' great if he could get back out there and tote the ball for us."
#Seahawks
Coach Leach says he considers Chris Petersen a friend, calls him a great guy.
"He's a guy that teachers always liked, got to school early, got his work done...I could see why my parents always wanted me to be more like him. It's probably not gonna happen at this point."
Icing on the cake of a day:
Man who I *presume* was heavily intoxicated in elevator sees me with a mic and asks if I would like to interview him.
I politely decline.
