So I had the tremendous honor of accepting the Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction, Sports for our @NASCAR Studios/@Bluefoot_tv show “Home Turn.” The show, about Daytona Beach around the track, is so damn good thanks to everyone involved behind the camera, but the music choices by the great @timothyhorgan are sublime, and the support from NASCAR's John Dahl (pictured with me) was invaluable. (Link to the show in next tweet)

Also: when you’re walking onto a stage like that, the mic looks like it’s about half a mile away. And thank God for notes, because wow, does your mind goes blank at @TheEmmys.

In the waning minutes of the World Cup final, I watched a pink toreador pace the stadium, too nervous to watch La Roja. You know what happened next.

On a whiplash afternoon, a life's-memory victory, and so many beer showers, for @YahooSports: https://t.co/8sLeWPlOO5

“They flowed into MetLife Stadium, tired (from standing in hours-long lines), poor (from paying four figures and up per ticket), huddled in masses of vivid red and sky blue …”

Quick World Cup wrapup from the shuttle bus line. Thanks for hanging!

Me: Hey mom, guess what! I got quoted in the @nypost!

Mom: I'm so proud! You said something brilliant, I'm sure!

Me: .... kind of?

It’s going well amid La Roja fans

[Jay Busbee @jaybusbee]

You know Messi ain't going out like this.

Wandered the concourse, talked to people from both camps. The nerves are almost visible in the air. Everyone I spoke to went from confident this morning to terrified now.

FIFA: Every blade of grass on every World Cup pitch must be manicured to an absolute ideal state of agronomy unmatched since the Garden of Eden

Also FIFA: Let’s turn loose a bunch of flamethrowers an hour before the final

The World Cup pregame concert is beginning, 11 minutes late, and the stands are …. less than capacity

Uh oh, VAR review coming of that Fox putt, this might not be official yet

(kidding, kidding, it's good)

Ryan Fox drains the putt of his life to claim the Claret Jug. Open Championship Sunday wrap at @YahooSports: https://t.co/DTzLD6ucnL

[Jay Busbee @jaybusbee]

Absolute stones on this lad

[Jay Busbee @jaybusbee]

Ryan Fox just has to get up and down from 175 yards out on 18 to win the Claret Jug. Easy enough.

Would not have picked Scottie Scheffler as a Frodo fan, but here we are

@AlanCavanna This is my first time at this one, but this is so much worse than Atlanta was. Can’t imagine it was this bad before.

[Jay Busbee @jaybusbee]

No one should feel bad for the media, volunteers, etc waiting in a two-hours-and-counting line … but if people who paid thousands of dollars for tickets are stuck outside at kickoff, that won’t be a pretty scene. #WorldCup

[Jay Busbee @jaybusbee]

The line to get into the World Cup stadium has now looped around inside itself five times. Like a sweet roll, but much sweatier.
