Imagine boarding a flight from Japan to Texas for the World Cup. Your team grinds out a 2-2 thriller. Then, while everyone else heads for the exits, you and thousands of fellow supporters grab trash bags and leave the 80,000-seat stadium cleaner than you found it.
No prompts. No cameras chasing clout. Just quiet, undeniable respect.
That’s the Japanese fans. 🙏🏻🇯🇵
He was the greatest! RIP Coach Noll. He would probably enjoy the humor of people still sometimes calling him Chuck Knoll or even Chuck Knox. We call him the 🐐.
My former coworker @DanPotashTV, one of the greatest people I've ever known, looked after Stan once he began battling health issues. Dan visited him frequently and would keep the rest of us at the office updated on Stan.
Stan was a great man and a great teammate and the Root Sports/AT&T SportsNet family suffered a major loss with his passing.
Less than a month later, we lost our studio director, Mat Williams....another wonderful person and teammate.
Same year, in September, we lost Jim Huber, who ran the traffic for us.
Then our station folded on Sunday, October 1st, 2023 after the Pirates/Marlins game. It was a brutal year for the AT&T SportsNet family.
As @ScottMccarron continues his battle with cancer, he went out today and shot 68 at the Principal Charity Classic, a tournament he's won before. Scott is a remarkable guy. He had chemo on Monday and then made 2 biridie & 2 eagles in today's first round. I marvel at Scott's resolve, focus, and strength while battling cancer. Please keep Scott in your prayers as you root for him this weekend on the course and every day off it.
My idol. An original. A man's man. Started listening to him when I was six. Couldn't believe it when I was working with him covering the 1979 World Series. The Pirates firing him in 1975 was the dumbest marketing move in sports history.
🚨 WOW! Dr. ALVEDA KING just said it PERFECTLY on Capitol Hill
"I still have a dream. I dream that one day we will move beyond black power and white power and embrace GOD'S power and human dignity!"
"I reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as THREATS or TERRORISTS simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought!" 🙏🏻
"I dream that Americans will one day see each other, not as enemies, but as neighbors. I dream that we will hear each other, see each other, and recognize that every human life has value from the womb to the tomb and beyond."
"We are as scripture teaches, one blood, one human race. And if we remember that truth, we can build a future worthy of the sacrifices made by those who came before us."
"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions."
"God bless America, God bless you!"

I feel horrible for my once great state of California. It has been used as a piggy bank for those funneling tax payer money into their “projects,” without transparency.
They are prosecuting individuals for exposing fraud within the government and NPOs.
I have zero faith in the system as it hasn’t worked for decades, in fact it’s only gotten worse like our homeless population which is primarily a drug addiction/mental illness problem.
I’m typically a cup half full person, but when it comes to my state I only have faith it’ll keep failing and squeezing all of its citizens to death.
@potatokmish@iamrahstradamus Respectfully disagree. Saw all six of the Steelers super bowl wins and they were spectacular events! IX X XIII XIV XLV XLIII #HereWeGo
I’m not joking when I say that Morgantown has turned into the best college baseball atmosphere in the entire country!!! I’ve been to all of them, WE HAVE THE BEST!!! Are you kidding me with this place! Unreal! LET’S GOOO!!!!!!
