True story: when I was a kid I thought I was the only person on the planet who was Chinese and Italian. It’s time to broaden the scope of stories for kids.
Thanks
@CBSNewYork
and
@HsuTV
for letting me share Fried Rice and Marinara with your audience.
I want to thank
@nflnetwork
for the amazing opportunity to join its team. I cannot wait to get rolling! The supportive messages from everyone who watched our
@Pac12Network
shows the last 9 years meant the world to me. THANK YOU! 🙏
CFP committee should be thinking about teams who are getting better as season goes on.
Oklahoma in last 4 games is 3-1 w/ a scoring margin of 145-144 with 10 TO's.
@Utah_Football
in last 4 games is 4-0 w/ a scoring margin of 152-38 with 4 TO's.
The Utes are dominating teams.
From
@wilnerhotline
:
P12 vs. ACC: 0-0
P12 vs. Big 12: 1-1
P12 vs. Big Ten: 3-0
P12 vs. SEC: 1-1
vs. Power Five: 5-2
vs. FBS: 16-10
Maybe P12 teams beating each other coupled w these numbers speak more to the league being significantly stronger than the national perception.
I hope this performance from
@Utah_Football
will stop people from saying they can't move the ball downfield through the air - it's simply not true. This team is so damn dangerous.
Remember the racist Karen from Torrance, California yesterday?
She’s back today and in the clubhouse with a 59.
KOY. Karen of the Year is hers to lose...
I can't put into words how grateful I am for all the support I've received the last few days. It's been amazing & unexpected. I can't say thank you enough. This is a rough time for so many people looking for work so please check in on friends & family who could use a pick me up.
Mike Yam was the face of the Pac-12 Network for the first 8 years of its existence. He won't be returning for a 9th. The network won't be the same without him.
On Yam's career so far, his time at P12Net and what makes him such a respected on-air figure.
Losing my job at
@Pac12Network
was the toughest day of my professional life. The call I'll never forget was from Chris Petersen. He spent over an hour on the phone giving me what I call the greatest pep talk of all time. There are similar takeways from that convo on this podcast.
When I was a kid my grandfather would listen to Mario Lanza and tell me he was the greatest. When he was suffering from Alzheimer's I would play his music off my phone. He would perk up and sing. If you have an old ipod

@49ers
@gkittle46
about the picks, the teams defense and that Trey Lance guy.
Not sure some of the Gameday guys are paying attention to the Pac-12. Can’t talk about a Tua injury today and not talk about

WR’s in week 1.
1. I'll never be "just" a sportscaster.
2. I have opinions on topics other than sports.
3. Everyday I wake up to an Asian American being assaulted for being Asian and have safety concerns for family. I don't want to bring "nationality" into things, but clearly attackers have.
This isn’t my normal post, but I felt compelled to share a personal story to add to a conversation that has lacked compassion. I don’t think our sense of humanity should be limited to those who have a U.S. passport. Thanks
@ArcDigi
for the platform.
No surprise at all -
@Utah_Football
Kyle Whittingham shows up to coaches meeting drenched in sweat. When asked if we cut his workout short, "only 2 people can cut my workout short and none are in this room"
I’m exhausted waking up to videos of more attacks.
I’m angry watching violent acts against defenseless individuals.
I’m sad because I envision my family being hurt.
#StopAsianHate
Thank you
@nflnetwork
for the platform.
I’m not a believer in having hot takes to have a hot take. I don’t enjoy shows where it’s a contest to see who the loudest person is. It’s hard to see a guy disrespect the craft and be this irresponsible with his platform.
How great is

’s life? We all wish we could spend a decade in college. He’s not only done that, but he’s been a star for the football team the entire time. 😜
In search of the 4 best teams is never easy, but some interesting numbers comparing
@Utah_Football
and Oklahoma.
Utah: 11-1, SOS 90th, TO Margin +11 and 5-1 vs bowl eligible, 11.3 opp PPG.
Oklahoma: 11-1, SOS 93, TO Margin -5, 4-1 vs bowl eligible, 24.7 opp PPG.
#CFPlayoff
Small businesses are in jeapoardy, retirement savings are tanking, people need to stay home and the elderly are in harms way. It’s clear we need to be united. Calling the Coronavirus, “Chinese Virus” is completely irresponsible. 1 opponent to fight and it’s not human.
Just met a diehard

fan. Andrew is probably 8 years old and was decked out in all red Utes gear. He’s jacked for the game and told me watches Final Score on

Can’t thank the fans enough. First show of the year in SLC and

Nothing better than catching up with an old friend and eating too many carbs.

Great news for
@Utah_Football
- the team who has sat 5th in the
#CFP
rankings before the conference champ games has made the playoffs 4 of the last 5 years.
One of the best parts of

This young man wanted to make his adoption day even more special, so he invited his entire kindergarten class.

Turnovers can help determine who the elite teams are. It’s hard for me to think about Oklahoma & Baylor in this regard. These teams are T50th in turnovers.

I’m flashing back to 2004, at a bodega on the corner of 46th and 7th in NYC. I would stop there to grab an egg sandwich for $1.50 and if it was cold I’d splurge and get the chicken soup for $2.25. At that time I was doing overnight updates on

I remember watching
@JimRome
in college wondering if I’d ever get an opportunity to be a broadcaster. Today was so cool for me! Thanks to Jim’s team for making it fun. Shoutout to all the radio hosts who do 3 hours solo everyday. You deserve a great glass of 🍷 when you get home.
I did a zoom for my nephew’s sports reporter class. I loved it and learned a few things: 1. Teachers need a raise! 2. Parents deserve free bottles of wine. 3. Zoom is not made for 10 year olds. 4. How are parents surviving this?!?!
Here’s context on just how incredible
@RamsNFL
WR
@AsapPuka
has been.
When Cooper Kupp won “triple crown” in 2021 he led NFL w/ 145 rec, 1,947 rec yds & 16 rec TD. Nacua has more rec & rec yards than Cooper Kupp had in his first 4 games in 2021. Not bad for a 5th round rookie.
Hard to see things end like this. Great things are ahead for a
@Pac12Network
crew that has always worked tirelessly to produce the best content for fans. It’s never been about where you do the work, but rather the work you do. I know we’re all proud of what we accomplished.
We have a few months left of this iteration of the Pac-12, but last night we signed off our football coverage one final time with a look back at some of the most memorable
@Pac12Network
moments over the last 12 years.
I will love this league and these people forever! 🫶
6 days of
#nfldraft
coverage on
@nflnetwork
is in the books. What an awesome experience! I’ve heard over and over the last year that things will work out the way it’s supposed to. It’s sometimes frustrating to hear it said and even worse when you’re living it,
Absolutely BRUTAL to see this. We have so many talented people on our team effected by this. My heart goes out to my friends who have worked so damn hard. Seeing all the messages over the last few weeks it’s pretty clear we had a lot of people who watched & appreciated the work.
Pac-12 Networks implementing massive number of furloughs today. Not surprising but feel bad for those folks. Loads of good people in SF. Another example of complexity of Covid issues in major college sports

making a push for NCAA tournament:
- lost Bol/king started hurt/Wooten missed games.
- 5 game winning steak and teams can’t score against them (51.8 PPG)
- NET of 56

- another Q2 opportunity vs ASU tonight.

In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage month I wanted to share part of my story. With everything happening to our community I'm thinking about the acts of kindness my family & other families must have received in tough times.
#StopAsianHate
It’s one of my favorite places to be - Husky Stadium had an awesome vibe today. There’s a reason why
@UW_Football
is one of the best teams in the country -
@CoachPeteUW
really is terrific!
I’ve lived in San Francisco since 2012. It’s beyond disturbing to see the videos of elderly Asians being attacked in this community. Attacking those who can’t defend themselves makes you the lowest of the low. We witnessed enough violence in 2020 to last a lifetime.
#StopTheHate
Authorities in California’s Bay Area say they have seen an uptick in recent weeks in violent attacks against Asian Americans, many of them senior citizens. Now law enforcement is taking action.
@jolingkent
reports.
Today is a reminder to celebrate all the strong independent women in our lives. I can’t imagine how many women were impacted by the example set by RBG.
RIP to a real hero and pioneer.
I love that every time
@ArizonaWBB
Aari McDonald finds a teammate with a pass and they miss a shot she doesn’t give a dirty look or throw her hands up in the air. She just runs back to play defense.

Congratulations to Coach Dana Altman, who will be inducted into the Creighton Athletic Hall of Fame this evening. It certainly won't be his last HOF. Altman is the all-time winningest coach in Creighton's history, and needs just 26 more wins to claim that honor at Oregon as well.
