Just in shock.. Clyde was the best dog my family could have ever had in our lives. This dog literally prepared me and taught me how to be a father. We are devastated beyond words but we know it was better to love and lost. Please don’t take loved ones for granted
Congrats to Belgium — they dominated us. But I’m not sure we would have beaten any World Cup team today. On the biggest stage in the biggest game in US soccer history in front of an electric home crowd, our team completely no showed and embarrassed itself today.
NC Gov. Josh Stein on MLB: "I'm excited about the possibility of it [MLB] coming to Raleigh. Raleigh definitely is a market that deserves it. It's one of the biggest media markets in the country. It's the 22nd largest media market, bigger than Nashville's, by the way, which is the main East Coast competition. I think a lot of people just don't appreciate that because Raleigh doesn't look like the big cities, because our population is a little more spread out, sometimes we don't realize, hey, we are a big place. We are a hockey town and we can also be a baseball town."
Rocky began as a script about one man's struggle, but five decades later, it has become a global symbol of perseverance that transcends borders. As we celebrate America 250, people still show up to run those same steps Rocky ran in 1976, all 72 of them.

Mike Brey on the direction the NBA is headed 😬
“125 international players on NBA rosters today…word is by 2029 over 50% of league will be internationally born…got to be a wake up for grassroots, high school, college and USA Bball”
The euphoria and anguish guaranteed with 🏴 and 🇲🇽 up next is insane.
No result is acceptable for either side but to get through and one won’t.
(I don’t pretend to be an expert here - but it’s the peak of what sports offers)

The funding bill for the stadium in Raleigh didn't make the budget on this go-round, but when @BryanRAnderson of the @TheAssemblyNC asked if it was dead...
The answer was a clear 'No.'

"The proposal, it goes pretty far. If you look at what other cities have done across this country, over the last decade or so (that have gotten a new team in a professional league or a new stadium), a lot of them, the tools they've used are sort of in this bill. Sort of a mix of all of those."

"I think our feeling on it was that maybe it was 'too much, too soon.'"
"I think it's the case that no other East Coast city...has passed any legislation yet as to the baseball expansion...so we're still early in this."

“If you do everything at once right now, in many ways you set the floor for what the next city may do. It sort of ups the bidding war.”
While getting the proposal into this budget would have been ideal for those wanting to push Raleigh to the front-runner position for MLB expansion, it seems that despite different strategies, one thing is clear...
Lawmakers are still aligned on the idea of putting #RaleighOnDeck and bringing #MLB2NC.
