@RealPatSalvas @swbrailriders @E_Lipsman @BatdogRookie @MiLB I did. He also was originally confused how one of his bobbleheads made it all the way to PNC Field, but he eventually understood.

"There was an itch that I had that I really felt like I needed this opportunity… I love being able to affect these kids. I'm at the point in my life where it's really, truly not about me." ⁦The Jim Mora Jr. era for @UConnFootball ⁩ starts tomorrow.

With a defiant attitude -- and a haunted house? -- Jim Mora returns to the sideline

Jim Mora has returned to coaching at UConn while insisting he never should have been fired at UCLA, that his house is haunted and that he is ready to undergo one of the sport's biggest reclamation...

Unreal. Just an unreal season for @UConnFootball . One more next week against Army to wrap up the regular season. It’s hard to imagine with the storybook season this has been for the Huskies that they don’t attract a bowl invitation. A chance for win No. 7 next week.

Back in January 2013 entering my first year with the @TrentonThunder , I needed to coordinate housing with our lead broadcaster and new head groundskeeper. 9 years later, @JoshMaurerPxP gets to join @ryan_woodley in the big leagues with the @Brewers . So so very deserved.

I was told I couldn’t write off a new suit for TV broadcasts that I got on sale for $100 because I was advised I’d get in trouble if I got audited. Should have spent $70,000 on hair cuts instead.

President Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes in 2016, and nothing in 10 of the prior 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made. Read the takeaways from our exclusive look at decades of Trump’s tax records.

I’ve gone 18 months without waking up with a sore throat or runny nose, and I don’t hate it. Just had a wonderful 8-person Mother’s Day in which everyone was vaccinated and maskless... but every flight the rest of my life? Yes. Grocery shopping during next flu season? Also yes.

Taking away nothing from the talent and ability of the finalists, my hope was that I was misunderstanding this post. Finalists- some from all around the country- paid out-of-pocket to register, travel and be interviewed for a job.
