Steve & Eno have each produced incredible work over the years while also advancing the careers of countless others. Please congratulate and appreciate these two in the replies!
Welp. 22 years later I’m no longer at Rotoworld or whatever it’s called today. I’m a free agent!! It was a great ride. Made great friends and had a great time. Still in shock. Is Luka playing tonight? Love y’all.
Cancer update: Doc visit today was great. Drugs are working well, which is awesome. Tumors are shrinking. Side effects kinda suck (tired, joints sore, bathroom issues) but overall things are going well. Just gonna keep going. Who knows how long?
So the reaction on Twitter to me and

getting let go has been incredible and I can't thank you all enough. Thanks for making me cry in the middle of trying to host a bar trivia game. I will never forgive you.
Not sure how to do this so just gonna do it. On the same day I found out I was in the

I found out I might have cancer. And I do. Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma. Gonna power through treatment this summer and be ready for new season. See you soon and later on.
Probly time for a (great) cancer update. My “cancer number” is 5-10 for a heathy person. I was over 12,000 when I started meds and had “advanced stage” medullary. It is now reading at 15!! Crazy right? Doc also says only “200 people on the continent” have what I have. PTL.
Is there anything more annoying in fantasy than your opponent having the fewest COVID postponements and destroying you because you have red ppd next to half your team?
Been a rough couple years. Laid off by NBC in my prime and didn't see it coming a year ago. Duped by Sportstopia just in time for these holidays. But welcomed by ESPN and Rotowire - What a couple of great outfits to work for. I'm lucky and love both of those jobs. LFG.
So thankful that
@ESPN
,
@RotoWire
and
@Oddscrowd
are helping me out and giving me a platform in which to continue writing about fantasy hoops and gambling. I'm a pretty lucky guy. Hope you're following along! My ESPN Risers and Fallers column will be up in a few hours.
Check out this 4-year old and his father — as Little Man slaps his first-ever home-run OVER the fence. The joy! Sports.
This is the Twitter content I’m here for...💪🌎⚾️❤️💥😉
Just won my 2nd 30-Deep title and given the year I've had, it's icing on cake. Cruising at NBC for retirement. Laid off. ESPN/RotoWire Freelancer, announced into the FSWA HoF, has cancer, Wins 30 Deep for the 2nd time. I didn't expect two frivolous honors to mean so much to me.
Look. I'm gonna let it go, eventually. But a family was ripped apart for no reason and I'm kinda heated. These guys are my ride or dies and it is what it is. But as the great Walter Sobchak once said, "This will not stand, ya know. This aggression will not stand, man"
Oh man Kawhi’s jaw just got wrecked by teammate Serge Ibaka’s elbow. Didn’t look good. Hope his jaw’s not broken. He walked to the locker room after they cleaned up the blood.
Rookie Shaedon Sharpe is one of the best in-game dunkers I’ve ever seen. He was in the dunk contest but declined in order to focus on getting ready for second half of the season. First off, that’s mind blowing. Secondly, we were robbed. He woulda put on an old-school show.

My kid ran out of house as I was pulling away today...I put window down and he said "Did you hear that Dame got traded to Pelicans?" I immediately pulled out phone and he said "Dad, don't do anything, just kidding". That's a son I can get behind. I panicked.
I have exciting news. Took your advice and now I have a YouTube channel! In its infancy, but if you could check it and subscribe that'd be awesome. Injury replacement news, stories, etc. coming soon
My fantasy hoops philosophies, short version.
1. Don’t draft guys over the age of 29.
2. Don’t draft rookies.
3. Get your guys.
4. It’s more about having fun than money.
5. Play in leagues that use your preferred website.
That’s it.

@brad_altman
asked me how my treatment is going (if you missed it, I'm sick). The drugs are working and have eaten up most of the C. Thyroid removal surgery likely next and I'll be taking these drugs forever. Fight isn't over, but I crushed Round 1. Thanks for caring!
#Retevmo
Anger. Sadness. Karma. Retirement. Waffle House. Being a Dad. Kicking Ass. Rising from the dead. Sleep. Not sleep. Listing Anthony Davis and LeBron as game-time decisions. Poku. Chris Bosh/Boucher. This is what I do. It's in my blood.
This is my son, grandson and daughter in law. They live in Japan for the next three years. Chandler gets on a boat soon. Gonna miss them, hope to visit and hope that China chills.
Thank you
@luka7doncic
for doing this on my birthday. I appreciate it. What an ureal game. Craziest thing I've seen since Kobe's 81. They were down NINE with 33 seconds left!!!
@docktora
What??? You ARE rotoworld. Literally nothing without you. I remember the days with you, bruski, knaus, gallagher. Wherever you work next, we'll follow. (please do a 1 am fantasy show with Rick kamla) 😂
I've written 1,000 word rants on trade vetoes and my hatred of them. My Fournett for his OBJ just got vetoed (arguments include "collusion, not a fair trade," etc). I drafted fournett at 18, OBJ went 23, we both trading to strengthen our weakness. I HATE VETOES.
My apologies to anyone who already tweeted this. Someone texted it to me...But Booker and Trae combined for 81 points and each took 24 shots tonight. Trippy.
@Powell2daPeople
I get that, but then again, the money they're making, I think they'll be OK on the other side. People making $25K a year get fired randomly all the time and no one cares. Guy making $22 million a year has to change locations and make new friends? he'll be all right
I’ve been waiting for about a year to be able to do this again. My first column/early mock draft for Sportstopia! Our hoops content floodgates are about to open.
I found out late Wednesday that my son and I are going to see Luka vs. Trae tonight! I owe someone, big time. I told my kid if he gets Luka's shoes he can drop out of high school lol.
I’ve got a fantasy hoops column hitting ESPN next Friday. I’ve got previews and betting advice columns on
@Oddscrowd
daily. I’ve got fantasy advice columns at
@RotoWire
twice a week. And I have some fun YouTube video stuff coming soon.
#wehustling
I hope you join me for the fun!
So glad I drafted Zion at No. 16 in my 30 team draft about 2 hours before his injury news broke. Hello Gorgui Dieng as my starting PF lol. Get well soon Zion!
#meniscus
This gonna be controversial but I think tonight is a perfect example of Luka & Trae. A bad night for Luka is 27-7-7 & 6 TOs, 1-of-7 deep & a win. Trae bad night is 3-of-12, 0-of-8 3s with 9 points, 3 dimes, 4 TOs in a loss. This is what's different about them. For now...
Amazing to see so many people on Twitter asking for sites to void their Kevin Porter Jr. bets because he left in the first quarter. Welcome to gambling, kids.
Hey everyone...I'm doing some serious work for this site now. Please follow
@oddscrowd
and check out the site!
@ryanknaus
and I will be adding content daily!
Jaren Jackson Jr. with 8 blocks! SGA ties career high with 42 points. Luka Doncic drops 38-11-8. Jordan Goodwin is a hot pickup for Wizards. Fun Monday despite no Trae or Ja in Memphis.
