@dustinswedelson You are going to need to go back to bed and do it all over again. Get up, shower, morning duties and all. That should cancel out that bad spell that's been cast upon you on this Friday.
Devastated to hear the news of Grant Wahl’s passing. Just returned from Qatar a few hours ago, and am catching up to this. A fine journalist and human being, who worked tirelessly to support the sport of soccer as well as the work of other journalists who covered the game. 😢
Grant Wahl.
There are no words.
A consummate pro. A writer I admired. A man of character. A man who went above & beyond to help me chase my soccer writing dreams. Above all, a good friend.
My heart is broken. In utter shock. The US MUST investigate.
