I met Jimmy briefly in 2009 at the Blogs With Balls conference. Sports blogs were on the rise.

It's sad to think how few of the people in that room are still in the business. Jimmy still is, and so am I. An honor to be on.

He caught me on my heels on a few questions!

16 years ago today - June 13, 2009 - I like to think we were ahead of the curve (we were) and influenced the evolution of the sports media landscape (possibly).

OMG! I remember this! There are many people I met at this event who still remain my friends. And there are people at this event who deservedly punched me out. See if you can spot me in this video.

Great job at putting these together, Don!

Good morning .
Andy passed away peacefully this morning beside his loving family. We thank you all for your support and love over the years. This was a genuine space of laughter and kindness. Please carry this spirit on in honor of Andy.
As always, Faturday forever and FTB .

Community is the key to sports — and still will be in the future. I wrote about that in @on_discourse’s Fan Experience issue. Want to check it out? Join in here and read it: https://t.co/UTCuYdcXLo

@TheOutsideGame @Google @GQMagazine @richarddeitsch @DanRubenstein @HHReynolds @JRSportBrief @TheSportsHernia @JustinTuck @kbull53 @NFLPA @GeorgeAtallah @CoreyPWilson That was a good one. I was sitting there babysitting AJ’s laptop while he was on that panel. Was I wondering in the moment what secrets must be just beyond his password? Maybe…

[Tim Ryan🦤 @TheSportsHernia]

@TheOutsideGame @JRSportBrief Wow, look at that focus. That’s where I met @JRSportBrief. Legend.

It’s @BarstoolBigCat day on @BarRescue.

[Jacoby @djacoby]

It’s time. After 23 years with ESPN, we have mutually decided to move on. I’ve learned everything I know there, met my best friends there, met my wife there, and leave with zero regrets. I can’t wait to share what’s next.
