This was me a short time after being rear-ended at a dead stop by some distracted dude in a Tacoma on Monday. I’m thankful to still be here. Been on this for a couple years now — Vegas area roads are a death trap. It’s unacceptable and more needs to be done to keep people safe
Wow: the 1.46 inches of rainfall measured today at Furnace Creek inside

is the second-highest amount for one day on record. On April 15, 1988, 1.47 inches inches fell.

The 5-1 UNLV football team deserves a big crowd at

Saturday for its game against Colorado State. Get out there, people. Top notch venue, affordable, super fun team to watch. Those young men need UNLV fans loud & proud.
Statement from LV Mayor Goodman on potential A's move: "To make this work, the owners need to make a bold statement upfront. What you want to see is the private ownership come in and be invested in our community and not just look to each of us who calls this home for more taxes.”

Easy now! I’m a good tipper. There is a line, though, where you stop tipping. I’m just trying to find that line. Do you tip your mailman? Your auto mechanic? Your car insurance guy?
That over 15 million viewers were tuned to the Raiders/Ravens game last night — the most-watched NFL week 1 game in 8 years — is outstanding news for Vegas tourism officials. That's a lot of eyeballs on the Vegas brand. That game was basically a four-hour ad for this town.
A truck carrying about 100 monkeys crashed in central Pennsylvania, state police said, as authorities searched for at least three of the monkeys that apparently escaped. The truck had been on its way to a lab, state police said.
I mean, did KState fans not know NDSU is good? That’s the premier program in FCS. It won in Iowa City, won in Manhattan, won twice at Minnesota. They play some football up in Fargo. Kleiman is a good coach.
Professionally and personally, I’ve met some great people here in Wichita. Too many, in fact, to name in a tweet or even a series of tweets. I’ll be forever in debt to you all. Wichita is a cool city — much more so, I believe, than what it’s reputation is nationally.

How small these social media trolls are. How cowardly do you have to be to take shots at people without using your real name or photo? If you're proud of it, put your name on it. Otherwise, go back into the woodwork or your mother's basement or wherever you come from.
Unacceptable how many journalists are being assaulted/harassed tonight by police. Multiple reports all across America. One would be too many. Clear cases of abuse of power documented and/or filmed. If you’re not deeply disturbed by that, you’re part of the problem.
Fourteen members of Republican Adam Laxalt’s family are endorsing his Democratic opponent, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, in the upcoming U.S. Senate election in Nevada.

We lost Erv Barrett today. My grandfather was a great guy. From his days growing up in St. Paul to serving his country in the Navy to being the best father & grandpa anyone could hope to have, he was a special man. One of faith, integrity & love. I’ll always miss him.
Here’s my 3 takeaways from watching college football this weekend:
1. Charles Williams is a beast and one of the best players in the country.
2. Texas has some explaining to do.
3. The South Dakota Hail Mary pass to beat SDSU was one of the luckiest plays I’ve ever seen.
These announcers keep calling the Minnesota State Mavericks “Minnesota.” Minnesota….that’s a very different school. It’s not hard to remember the “State” part. Announcers never do that when Iowa State plays Iowa or when Michigan State plays Michigan.

Some are ripping Reese for this. To me, it's no big deal. Sports are more entertaining with some trash talk and emotion. Also, everybody's talking about women's basketball, and that's good for the game.

Bob Huggins didn’t kill anyone while driving drunk as hell. That’s, by far, the most important aspect about this whole thing. Hopefully he gets the help he needs before he puts more lives in danger.
