officers from Gallery Place boarded to break it up. One person was detained and this gun was recovered on the train. Just DC things.

Please don't stop the "block or charge" tweets. My daughter knows after completing each homework assignment every night, she gets to watch a new one of those. I depend on them.

(1/?) As members of the media, you are obligated to be transparent & factual in your coverage. I’m disappointed that the OK State beat reporters bowed down to threats from Gavin & Coach Gundy, and even agreed not to mention the threat.

family for teaching this old radio guy how TV news works. Thanks to every single one of you. I will miss you all so much. But onto the next challenge…
I am 100% confident that if I were given the authority to make the Tennessee coaching hire I’d do an incredible job. And I’d take no money for it. That’s just how selfless I am. Time to win once and for all.
TE Lee Smith to QB Josh Allen after his boneheaded pick:
"I love you like a little brother, but that's on us. You're not a 'me' kinda guy when you're doing great, don't be a 'me' kinda guy when you're doing bad."
Man I love this team.

Pretty cool job news to share. Looks like my Saturdays will be occupied this fall, producing Westwood One Sports' college football game of the week. Back in the college sports saddle again! And it gets even better because I'll be working once again with my old pal

1: Keep Poyer & Milano in bubble wrap. Can't afford anymore games without them.
2: Let James Cook.
3: Can we PLEASE have Tre back?
4: Josh was boring & quiet, but I'm not mad at that. Sugar High Josh needed to go away for a while.

Hi there. Member of the public here. I assure you, I most definitely do NOT want Bama with 2 losses anywhere near the playoffs this year.
@ocollysports
(4/?) Being told what you can & cannot ask sometimes happens...you have to weigh the pros & cons of going along with it, but if you do decide to avoid certain questions the subject doesn’t want asked, you HAVE to let your audience know about it. I’m glad your professor leaked it.
Gutted by this news. One of the voices of my childhood that I was fortunate enough to get to know personally as I began my career. There will never be another one like Woody Durham. My prayers go out to
@WesDurham
, Taylor Durham, and the entire Durham family.
It is with great sadness to report that the great Woody Durham has passed away. He died peacefully last night. He was an artist with his voice.

through and through.
The social audio play also means Spotify podcasters like Joe Rogan and Bill Simmons could soon broadcast in real time, rather than on delay, while musicians might one day be able to broadcast their concerts or other recordings live to listeners.
Regular sports guy out sick. Too late to call in the backup. Out of the bullpen trots the kid from Charlotte, NC to deliver his first live on-air sports update in close to 7 years. Happy to report that I still got it.
Pro tip to radio guests: If you can't appear on a show on the day & time you promised and committed to, do the decent thing and let the producer know. Paid or unpaid.
Literal goosebumps after reading about how the staff of the
@capgaznews
busted their asses to get a paper out today. Photos edited by laptop in a car. The sports section done at someone's house. That crew is a total and absolute credit to the field of journalism.
The grieving and the reporting sort of jumbled together for staffers at The Capital Gazette after a fatal shooting at the newspaper, but they were determined to put out the next day's edition.
During the summer months, I like to rock a Hawaiian shirt on Fridays at work. Sometimes, my coworkers join in. And sometimes, they wear the exact same shirt, completely unplanned. 🤦🏻♂️

Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to get to work side by side with Coach Thompson during the NCAA Tournament. So very gracious, and years later, he remembered me when I had a chance to talk to him again through another job. Immeasurable loss for DC sports.
@ocollysports
(3/?) Collectivey, we decided that it wouldn’t be right to have Jimbo on & NOT ask about Jameis, so we canceled the interview. This went on for 2 or 3 weeks until finally the SID told us we could ask but would get a “no comment”. That was all we needed to hear.
Congrats to my Twitter-less stepson, Zack, on his decision to go to

Celebrating 9 amazing years with this little one right here, she is and will forever be the best thing that has ever happened to me, and the thing I’m most proud of in this world. It is an absolute honor beyond all other honors to be Catherine’s daddy.
Couldn't be happier for my guy Abe here. And living in Destin? Can't get much better than that. Congrats on the new gig!

We’re building a great team at Backroads & I can’t wait to get started!
So...I just learned my daughter goes to school with Braden Holtby’s son, and she says, “His son said his daddy was going to bring the Stanley Cup to school one day next year. That’s cool, right?”
Uhh...yeah kiddo, that certainly qualifies as “cool.”

(2/?) A few years back when I was with SiriusXM’s college sports channel, we had a contract for a weekly interview with Jimbo Fisher. When Jameis Winston’s rape allegations were playing out, we were told by an SID that we could not ask Jimbo about the situation.
Worked at Office Depot for a bit while in college. Hated it. Went to interview for a job at the soon-to-be opening Best Buy one day on my lunch break. They offered me a job on the spot. Was so happy, I forgot to go back to Office Depot that day & went home instead.
