@MartySmithESPN My man @MartySmithESPN - I will be 55 in 15 days. My 25 and 22 yo kids STILL when they see me turn my hat backwards (work, ball or watching Jeopardy, etc): ‘oh 💩, dad is serious’. Dont ever stop and let the old man in! 💪 😤
Thx @MartySmithESPN@ESPNMcGee for the McArthur song chat. Im a 54 yo that is a benefactor of Grandpa selling before he passed so his family benefited. It lives on thx to a memorial honoring he and Grandma on that site. Holly Springs NC will always know the Yarborough legacy.
We want to take a moment to celebrate our very own Chelsi Davis. Two months ago, she was notified that she was a bone marrow match for a patient in the United States fighting Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Chelsi has been on the NMDP (formerly Be The Match) registry since 2017, when she signed up in memory of her grandmother, who passed away from leukemia in her 40s. Her grandmother wasn’t able to find a matching donor, so when Chelsi learned she could help someone else, she didn’t hesitate for a second.
Last week, she flew to Houston, where she donated stem cells from her blood over the course of two straight days. Those stem cells were immediately shipped to the patient’s hospital, where they’re now providing life-giving support in that patient’s fight against cancer.
Chelsi didn’t do any of this for praise or attention. In fact, the only reason she’s allowing us to share her story is the hope that it might encourage someone else to join the registry.
If you’re between the ages of 18–35 and want to sign up, you could be like Chelsi and help save someone’s life. Just follow the link below:

Chelsi, you are truly a hero.
