@BourbonBenny25 @DanaONeilWriter Exactly. Remember when the Thrifty Nickel went woke and the yellow pages were lib’ruhl and Funk & Wagnalls were socialists? It’s never changing economics or technology. It’s whatever you want it to be!

Apparently we got our Nolan Ryan bloody jersey story all wrong and AI is ON IT. According to Yardbarker via something called EasySportz, it was bloody because Nolan tore a guy’s arm off in the 1974 World Series.

In 1990, in a game that wasn’t even televised, a photographer snapped a photo of a bloodied Nolan Ryan, which became a defining part of Ryan’s image. The story of Nolan and Linda, and an enduring piece of Texana as the Rangers commemorate the moment.

@gilebreton Thanks, Gil, Sure appreciate that. I wish I had known her.

[Dave Wilson @dwil]

@mycoskie That’s such a great story. Appreciate it, Chris. Of all the autographed ones out there, that one’s pretty remarkable.

How a photographer captured Nolan Ryan's bloody jersey and created a 'Texas demigod': Thanks @dwil for remembering the late Linda Kaye https://t.co/wUjgd3X6cH

@mty01 Do you remember what she’d charge?

[Dave Wilson @dwil]

@jeff_shearer Already fixed 🤦🏻‍♂️

I hope they get to visit the Dutch Windmill Museum in Nederland they’ll feel so at home

[Houston Chronicle @HoustonChron]

My dad woke me up to tell me “Michael Jackson just slid across the damn floor like he had ball bearings on his feet.” 😂

[Pop Base @PopBase]

43 years ago, Michael Jackson did the moonwalk on television for the first time while performing ‘Billie Jean’ at Motown 25.

Colbert and Letterman brought back Dave’s "Destroying Stuff" bit from the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater one last time….and Dave with an epic goodbye for CBS:

"In the words of the great Ed Murrow, 'Good night and good luck, motherf*ckers!'"

@TheGreat_Nate Can I have your express written permission to send this to the Walgreens and get a poster made for my house

[Dave Wilson @dwil]

I can't imagine how many hours of his life Jack has devoted to covering East Texas sports, supporting kids, recording history and making sure everyone gets their due. One of the most selfless journalists I've ever known, including me calling him for advice. So well-deserved.

[THSCA @THSCAcoaches]

Let's give a round of applause for the Putt Powell Sportswriter of the Year, JACK STALLARD!👏 Thank you for your outstanding coverage in sports! #THSCAproud

Sawyer Robertson’s professor in Baylor’s Sales Strategy in Sports and Entertainment program sent out a release exempting students from updating their LinkedIn if they can surpass 5,000 passing yards 😂

[College Transfer Portal @CollegeFBPortal]

NEW: Baylor QB Sawyer Robertson said he skipped every LinkedIn assignment in his classes because he knew he’d succeed in football.

“You can check my LinkedIn now, it’s still not updated. I knew football was going to work out for me.” 😳

“Most of us slip on ice outside the grocery store and immediately consider leaving town. So imagine what it must feel like to try to rebuild your career and have your toupee punched off in front of 10,000 people, with millions more online reveling in that embarrassment forever.”

@HerbPetry It was last-minute and the Secret Service had to approve and clear a big enough space

Huge trip. The night before, Mikhail Gorbachev went to On The Border with R.C. Slocum and John David Crow.
