Entered the 1999 NBA draft; still waiting for the call.

Absolutely perfect. Way to represent your alma mater @KarlTowns. @UKAthletics

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Love this from Karl about his Mom

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

I shared the viral school performance yesterday. But this is the must watch. A beautiful piece of journalism.

[Autism Capital 🧩 @AutismCapital]

Remember the bird autist? His name is Samuel. He’s 11. And good news! Everyone loves him, respects him, he’s won the acknowledgement of his peers, and everything wonderful is going for him. An actual feel good story with no twists. Just winning. 👏🏼❤️

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

Same.

[Savage @Savageboston]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is “very intrigued” by the prospect of joining the Boston Celtics.

Per: @sam_amick

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

This is incredible.

[O’Shea Jackson Jr @OsheaJacksonJr]

I saw it. Now you have to see it. His name is Samuel. And he…is a king.

Loved Coach Gruden’s review of my alma mater. Great stuff. But I can’t believe he didn’t mention Ryan Day!

[Jon Gruden @BarstoolGruden]

We got a box here from Durham, New Hampshire!

It's the UNH Wildcats! Some of the best football minds of ALL TIME went here and they have some SWEET gear!

Thank you Coach Goldrich and @UNH_Football for this great box, good luck this upcoming season!

Kentucky was down 10-0 to Arkansas in the rubber match of their series after the FIRST INNING!!!!

BUT they just scored 9 runs in the 5th inning and the score is 12-12

Insane

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

What's really going on at UK? Good question. Here are some answers: https://t.co/kT9RTDj1SU

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

Lots of chatter about what is happening @universityofky. Longtime colleague and friend @jayblantonuk helping to provide some clarity around questions being raised. Worth your time.

Sports can be so powerful. Great stuff.

New Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Timlin had a beautiful remembrance of the late, great Tim Wakefield today that had us all a bit teary-eyed:

"I think of Tim every day. I think about his daughter, Brianna, who's here, and I asked her to be here at the luncheon with us. ... (Before the 2024 home opener) I had all the guys stand up, and I said, 'These are your uncles. We're family now.'
"And to lose a family member is tough. To lose a friend is tough. But we do our best. ... So I think of Tim quite often. I love to hunt. I love to be outside. I know he did, too. We enjoyed it. Every time I go outside at my place in Colorado, it saddens me because he never got to walk on the ground that I walk on. But I also know he's seen it all. He's probably seen more of it than I have now. So I wish he'd tell me a few secrets, that'd be great. [Chuckles] But yeah, I do miss Tim quite a bit."

[Kentucky Athletics @UKAthletics]

Don't miss out on the UK5K tomorrow!

@KelleyBozeman @dunkindonuts That’s crazy.

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

Still the hardest article I have ever written. Much love to my cousins and all those at Columbine 27 years ago today. Still praying for all the victims and their families.

@EvanCraneKY It is unbelievable

[Dave Melanson @TheRealMelanson]

Do I remember this! I was attending @UofNH and was watching the @NCAA men’s basketball final - @KentuckyMBB vs Arizona. Who knew I would be working for @universityofky just a few years later.

[Shiri Spear @ShiriSpear]

Flashback! Who remembers this one from 1997? @boston25
