Hello Twitter friends. My newest book has just been published and I am reaching out to ask if you wouldn't mind help spreading the word via social media, word of mouth, carrier pigeon, etc. It's available at most online book outlets like Amazon, b&n, etc

@sheeeeeeeeeed I don’t want hot takes. Never said that. I want honest, insightful analysis. His interviews are the opposite. We’ll see if he steps it up

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

At UW, Wilson gave the most milquetoast, straight down the middle, never say anything even remotely controversial (or interesting) interviews. From what I've seen , he hasn't changed as a pro. Heck, he was afraid to offend Badgers and NC State fans with his MNF intro. So ... why?

Sources: Ten-time Pro-Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson is finalizing a deal to become a CBS Sports analyst. Wilson won a Super Bowl, the Walter Payton Man of the Year award and now leaves the NFL to become an analyst on the network’s pregame show that includes James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher.

Yup, AI is great and the future. Tough loss, O's. Hm, what?

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

Sad to hear. Bill was the radio color guy when I covered the Cincinnati Cyclones of the IHL. He was always great to me. Good memories of sharing some "Blue" on the road once. RIP.

@GnarlyCharlie12 Congrats!!

So happy Mitch & Hannah are getting some attention. Mitch is amazing, not just for this but everything he does.

[ESPN @espn]

Aspiring broadcaster Mitch Widmeier calls every Knicks game for his sister, Hannah, who suffered a traumatic brain injury.

He joins @malika_andrews on NBA Today to share their story and bond over Knicks basketball, with a special surprise for Mitch at the end 🧡💙

Nephew of a childhood friend/neighbor (also friends with his dad, but he was a couple years older ... anyway, still cool to see)

[Cincinnati Bengals @Bengals]

We have drafted TE Jack Endries with the no. 221 overall pick.

@afkostka As an Orioles fan who lived in Milwaukee for 20 years ... you are doing it right, sir! I have some in my fridge which I took with me when I moved. 😂

Guessing not a lot of tears being shed by #Badgers fans over this news.

[Todd Milewski @ToddMilewski]

Chris McIntosh is set to leave the Wisconsin athletic director post for a role at the Big Ten, according to sources.

Dane Brugler's draft grades for #Badgers:

Mason Reiger: 5-6
Vinny Anthony, Austin Brown & Lance Mason: 7-FA

This will be the 9th straight year Wisconsin hasn't had a 1st-round pick, the longest streak for the school since 1964-75.

Looking for a sleeper at safety? Keep an eye on Austin Brown of @BadgerFootball. Terrific player and underrated athlete. Hit 44 inches in the vert- after they raised the device!! More later on @ES_sportsnews

@nhochman99 I'm sure I offered but you demurred. That's my story at least. :)

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

I was at this fight. It's quite the story of how I got there. (Right, @nhochman99? 🙂📞)

[Ben Havin @talktoemhavin]

When Sugar Ray Leonard got knocked down , got up and won the fight in the same round!

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

@m_widmeier you're a 1/1 human, too, Mitch! Thanks for posting. Hope all is well.

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

I have no memory of the 1975 Super Bowl but I’m beginning to understand what it must have been like to watch it.

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

Found one of the old clips. Have another but this one happened to be on top of my pile ha. Anyway, just sad news today about that sports department.

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

When I first started out I did a lot of freelance work, especially covering college basketball games for out-of-town papers - including the Washington Post. Was proud they used me. I also know a lot of people who worked in that sports dept. The rumors sadden me. #SaveThePost

[Dave Heller ✍️ @dave_heller]

You really can't tell the players without a scorecard.

If you've never been to the Rose Bowl, highly recommend it, even if it will be maybe half-full and not quite the full atmosphere of the bowl game.
