@TimBrando @espn @WVUfootball Met Tom when he was on the student station at Delaware and I at Villanova. Their new football auxiliary box didn't have power, our extension cord wasn't long enough. Tom stepped in, introduced himself,made a call back to his station,a cord was brought out. He got us on air

@TimBrando Classic. Sets it up then lets the story speak for itself.

@StevieVanZandt I was in Orlando, right on the rail, when Roger came out for the encore. The look on you and Bruce's face showed that you were playing with one of your idols.

@Gillenhoops It will be about how long he plays and maintaining that desire. Generational wealth arrives so soon.. Can he play 20 seasons with the excellence of Kareem?

@DickieV @espn I am fighting my own battle against pancreatic cancer. You, Sir, are an inspiration. And I find myself saying out loud more than a few times a day "don't give up. Don't ever give up"

@tommygodinjr It will be Kentucky. They were in talks before he decided on Villanova. Did KY tell him to go to Nova for a year to get more playing and TV time?

@stlappas @USBWA Hank really was a great guy to talk too. He was a natural for those State Farm rules of the game features. He gave a personalty to referees.

@franfraschilla What I miss the most is that shared experience that these kids are walking the same paths I did, sitting in the same classrooms, and being shaped in some of same ways my University, Villanova, did for me. Now It's pros who have apartments and just drive to campus for practice.

@MAGALieTracker I think the biggest takeaway is him referring to Zelenskyy as PT Barnum. Of course Trump has never disrespected Putin. So he's allegedly fighting for freedom for the Iranian people but wishes subjugation for the people of Ukraine. Putin puppet

@dawnstaley @Eagles You can leave Philly,but Philly will never leave you. In Orlando, but we meet up to watch the Iggles every week. Go Birds!!!

@GlobeBobRyan @TheExtremeMusi1 For me, it's still the first Beatles song I ever heard on the radio, I Wanna Hold Your Hand. To this then 13 year old, it was unlike anything I had ever heard. Still brings back that memory. Something new was happening

@StevieVanZandt Saw him at the old Electric Factory in 1970. Last of 3 acts that night. Many had left by the time he came on. I can't remember the name of the girl I was with, but I remember us lying on that old Persian rug in front of the stage, and I will never forget that performance.

@NikkiFried @KamalaHarris Did you know the DJ would play Petty or was it a surprise. Loved how the delegates responded when they heard it.

[Al Elia @alfromfl]

@BeschlossDC This role call is phenomenal. Fun to see the look of the faces of the state delegates when they recognize "their" song. Petty for FL. Bruce for NJ. Kansas for Kansas. So much fun.

[Al Elia @alfromfl]

@IAmPoliticsGirl Love seeing the reactions of the delegates when they recognize their song.

@franfraschilla The first European player I remember was BYU's Kresimir Cosic from Croatia in the early 70's. He brought that position less style back to Europe as a player and coach and, no doubt, influenced late 80"s and early 90's to play their own interpretations of US hoops.

@GuntherGill @FlaDems BEWARE! This is a confusing message. Are you doing it on purpose? This vote is for the Primary. NOT for the General Election in November. Don't listen to this. Voting Now does NOT count for November!
