Lost my best friend yesterday and it hurts so bad so excuse my ramble
Like so many, my love of sports came from my dad since I could barely talk. He lived for his kids. I was so blessed he paid for all of my schools and yet he was still all in when I decided to leave my career to help start action. He listened to every single one of my podcasts and always needed to know what I bet so he could follow along.
He was a huge Duke basketball fan and I loved rooting against his teams for some reason aka he would give me 20 bucks every time they lost which didn’t happen often in the 90s (I will never have a higher ROI since I never had to pay).
He was under the basket when Laettner hit his famous shot at the spectrum. I was only 6 so don’t remember but I apparently cried and didn’t talk to him for 2 weeks.
Fast forward 25 years when I married a UK girl and he never stopped joking I only did it to get him back for that Laettner shot.
Man beat cancer twice but the third time was too much. He didn’t have the heart to tell us the third time it spread everywhere but he at least went peacefully.
Football and college basketball weekends will never be the same without being able to call him but I’m so happy G Jr. got to meet the G the 4th even though I’ll be perpetually sad he won’t get to watch him grow up. Love you forever pop
Drake Maye is the first player in NFL history to complete 90% of his passes while throwing for 250 yards and 5 TDs in a single game 🤯

I am deeply disturbed by the shooting in Utah. Doug and I send our prayers to Charlie Kirk and his family.
Let me be clear: Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act, and we all must work together to ensure this does not lead to more violence.
