Friendly reminder, he himself voted to rescind the NCAA policy change last year that would have allowed athletes to legally bet on pro sports.

He’s so good.

Mike Tirico told me his secret.

It wasn't talent.
It wasn't luck.
It was what he does on every flight home.

A few years ago, I met him at a restaurant bar in Indianapolis during the Big Ten tournament. One of the biggest voices in sports.

He didn't lead with his résumé. He introduced himself. He asked questions. He cared about every person in the room before anyone cared about him.

Eventually, I asked him what made him great.

He said after every game he calls, on the flight home, he pulls up the broadcast and watches it back.

Listens to his own voice. Hunts for the misses. The dead air. The calls he wishes he could have over.

Every game. Twenty-plus years in.

He wasn't born world-class. He worked his way there one flight at a time.

The best in any room are usually the ones still grading themselves the hardest.

World-class isn't a personality.

It's a habit.

I think she might lie a little. Not a great trait for a journalist.

CBS' Bill Raftery is college basketball’s poet laureate, and just like his famous calls, he’s timeless. And as I found it during our delightful visit this week, he's ageless too.

@GoodmanHoops How they employ him is insane. He was an awful coach and might be a worse analyst. He literally has no original or insightful thoughts.

There are moments in life when words just aren’t enough. Losing Coach Holtz is one of those moments.

Coach was so much more than a football coach to me. He was family. I still remember the day he came to my house to recruit me. He didn’t just sit down and talk to me about football or what I could do on the field. He talked to me as a young man. And he spoke to my mom the way a man should speak to a mother who was trusting someone with her son. He looked her in the eye and promised that I would be taken care of at Notre Dame. That moment meant everything to us, and it’s something I’ve carried with me my entire life.

Coach Holtz believed in people. He believed in building men, not just players. He welcomed my entire family into the Notre Dame family and always made sure we felt that love and support. That’s who he was. He cared deeply about the people around him, and he made every one of us feel like we mattered.

The lessons he taught me went far beyond football. His faith, his discipline, his belief in doing things the right way shaped who I became as a man, a father, and a leader.

My heart is broken today, but I’m also filled with gratitude for the time I had with him and for the impact he had on my life. Coach will always be with us—in the lessons he taught, in the lives he changed, and in the love he gave so freely.

Thank you for everything, Coach. I love you.

You will forever be in our hearts.

@grok @michaelharlema1 @GunnelsWarren @grok what was the payroll rate you reference prior to the proposed legislation? How much impact would it have on an earner that makes $500,000?

[Taylor Jacobsen @Taylor_Jacobsen]

@CollegeFBPortal @OleMissFB @grok what is the context of the question he was answering?

[Taylor Jacobsen @Taylor_Jacobsen]

@GreggDoyelStar No. We don’t send our dumpster fires to other countries.

@DanWolken I literally went to the 1st Alabama-Clemson game in Glendale for $20. Lower level, 20-ish rows up. Prices collapsed 60 minutes before the game.

[Taylor Jacobsen @Taylor_Jacobsen]

@GovTimWalz You might want to sit this one out.

[Taylor Jacobsen @Taylor_Jacobsen]

How this stuff is even legally allowed is mind blowing.

After reading through the 33-page term sheet for the Chiefs' new stadium in Kansas, I think it's one of the most lopsided stadium deals in NFL history.

Kansas is essentially giving the Chiefs $3 billion (stadium funding + mixed-use development funding + tax incentives), yet getting virtually nothing in return.

The Chiefs get to keep 100% of the revenue from all stadium activities, including ticket sales, concessions, sponsorships, naming rights deals, personal seat licenses, and more. That applies to NFL games and all other events (concerts, basketball games, etc.).

Kansas will own the stadium, with the Chiefs paying $7 million in rent annually. But that money doesn't go back to the state; it goes into an account the Chiefs can use for renovations, repairs, and operational expenses.

That means the Chiefs can use their own rent money to hire stadium security, parking staff, and concession vendors throughout the season.

I know Kansas had to offer a great deal to get the Chiefs to leave Arrowhead, but this is worse than I expected.

Here's a full breakdown of everything I found in the term sheet: https://t.co/vtJ6S8DwOx

@Tim_Walz Lol WHAT???

[Taylor Jacobsen @Taylor_Jacobsen]

@GovTimWalz Shut up. You’re a horrific human being and dumb AF.

[Taylor Jacobsen @Taylor_Jacobsen]

Teachers definitely underpaid. Tax code should be simplified. However, whether you love or hate Elon, imagine being dumb enough to tweet this ⬇️.

America has a spending problem…not a revenue problem. Giving more $$ to politicians is giving more alcohol to a drunk.

Any school teacher has more work ethic in their pinky finger than Elon Musk has in his entire body.
