Thank you so, so much to the
@APSE_sportmedia
judges for selecting me,
@_NickKelly
, and
@_Max_Donaldson
for third place in the division. I am the world's proudest and most grateful bronze medalist right now.
John Bednarowski of the Marietta Daily Journal won first place in the 2023 Associated Press Sports Editors contest in the Division D Event Coverage category for his reporting from the Masters golf tournament.
The Kansas City Chiefs should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.
You cannot, and will NEVER, tell me that drunk driving is anything but horrific.
Britt Reid should be fired on the spot. A suspension for one game won't cut it.
Lord be with that little girl.

4th and 56 may mean a team has a bad offense, but it also helps a lot of punters get more space to punt the football, so, it's impossible to say if it's bad or not,
One week ago, Mac Guscette collapsed on the field against LSU and had to be carried off.
Today, he hits the go-ahead home run in the rubber match against Vanderbilt.
Words can't describe how remarkable this is.
If Kurt Busch retires, there will be no more drivers who raced in Cup with Dale Earnhardt Sr., no more active members of the inaugural 2004 Chase for the Cup, and only one driver left (Kevin Harvick) who raced under the Winston Cup banner. End of an era is an understatement.

head coach Sam Pittman confirms that Morgan has movement in his body and said, "Coach, I'm fine," as he was being carted off.

with some praise for all Alabama sports today:
"We won a baseball game, we won a basketball game, and then there's softball."
@AlabamaBSB
: 10-6 over High Point.
@AlabamaMBB
: 86-83 over Arkansas.
@AlabamaSB
: swept its doubleheader.
On top of that, I found an example of a team having 3 receivers over 100 yards (Danny Amendola, Chris Hogan, and Rob Gronkowski for the Patriots in Super Bowl LII)...
"I want Deshaun Watson after his legal issues are resolved" is like saying "I want Julius Caesar after his meeting with the senate"
Kind of a big road block towards that goal, isn't there?
Here in Coleman Coliseum tonight as No. 6 Alabama hosts No. 1 Florida to close the regular season. Watch along on SEC Network Alternate, and follow along this thread for updates.
Personal news: My time with the

Jerry Rice and Roger Craig in Super Bowl XXIII.
Marques Colston and Robert Meachem in the 2011 Wild Card Round.
Randy Moss and Cris Carter in the 1999 Divisional Round.
Davante Adams and Randall Cobb in the 2016 Divisional Round.
Antonio Brown and Vance McDonald in the 2017 Divisional Round.
Julio Jones and Roddy White in the 2012 NFC Championship.
Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt in Super Bowl XXXIV.
Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce LITERALLY LAST WEEK!
Mac Jones learned from two of the greatest quarterbacks Alabama's ever had in Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa. Now he gets to pick the mind of Bill Belichick, possibly the greatest football mind in the history of the NFL.
He's set up to succeed in a way most rookie QBs aren't.
Thomas Fletcher goes to the Panthers. Alabama now has 38 players drafted from the 2017 team.
That ties 2001 Miami's all time record with a round to spare.

I'm here at Coleman Coliseum to honor Luke.
Must be over a hundred people here. Some with the plaid jackets, some with hard hats.
Both the American flag and the Alabama flag have been lowered to half staff.
Fun fact: Alabama has a win over Michigan more recently than Ohio State, and a win over Ohio State more recently than Michigan.
I can't think of another rivalry where some team from another conference did this.
Patriots fans should be very excited about Damien Harris. He was the featured back for one of the best rushing offenses in the NFL last season. I do expect him to take a backseat to the passing game if/when Mac Jones takes over, but Harris has 1,000 yard rusher potential.
With the start of the season just 10 days away, there's no better time for me to announce that I'll be serving as the

And two teams doing this in the same game (Moss and Carter for the Vikings, Chad Morton and Willie Jackson for the Saints in the 2000 Divisional Round).
I don't get people making fun of him for this. The man just played his last game with his brothers. You don't remember the actual games, you remember the bus rides, the locker rooms, and the team dinners.
"This city, these arenas, right field right over there where he liked to drink his Budweiser, this stadium, this Coliseum, they'll never be the same."
Powerful words.

I don't doubt that's what they meant, but if it was, they should have said that.
ESPN gets stats like this (stats that anyone with an internet connection can look up) wrong way more often than they should.
"If he was clean injury wise, he's a lock first round pick. He's the best interior lineman in this draft," -DJ on Landon Dickerson.
He also says he's coming back strong, and as a player he has no questions about him.
The
@HHSPatsFootball
quarterback commits to
@SouthernMissFB
. Considering how good the offense was last season once the Golden Eagles abandoned the traditional quarterback, there's reason for optimism now that they have a QB by trade.
The Patriots will have five Alabama alumni on the team this season. Last season, only two teams had more (Football Team with eight and Ravens with six)
A major bombshell report from ESPN dropped on Monday night, as the state of Ohio is no longer accepting legal bets on

Nate Oats and players gave fans high fives. Chants of Roll Tide Roll and SEC, people playing Dixieland Delight, Sweet Home Alabama, and We Are The Champions.
This is something you'd never miss for the world.
In addition, 44-year-old Tom Brady is the oldest quarterback to pass for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns in a game, breaking the record set by 43-year-old Tom Brady, who broke the record set by 43-year-old Tom Brady, who broke the record set by 43-year-old Tom Brady.

@TerrapinHoops
gets underway in less than an hour. I'll have updates from all four games today.
I too am returning for my senior year at Alabama. And as a one-time youth football right tackle, I'm more than willing for Nick Saban to put me on scholarship.
Congratulations to Coach

Suni Lee finishes with a 9.975 on the beam, meaning she claims the all-around title over Lilly Hudson.
However, it isn't enough for Auburn, and Alabama will clinch the win.
