During COVID, when sports were being covered remotely, my first-grade daughter told her class my job was to sit on the couch and watch TV.

Kids saying what they think their parents do for work VS what they actually do 😂😂😂

@KMooreTV If Pono girls lax makes playoffs, I’m gonna have to schedule the games for them

Last spring I missed my daughter's varsity debut. She was a third-string goalie and a freak set of occurrences happened and she played while I was covering softball.
Not going to let that happen again.

Nothing with your job in sports is worth missing a moment like this with your kids or family. It took me far too long to realize that. The game will go on whether you’re there or not. Someone else can do your job that day. These are the moments you don’t get back.

@EricBen24 Can’t speak for your shop, but I know my co-workers would step up for me and if not, we’d plan accordingly to make sure we have a freelancer in place.
Big events are tough, so my family knows nothing gets planned during playoffs.

If they’re going to ask the RIIL for an unreasonably high rental fee, I wonder what they would demand from the MIAA

Let me introduce you to Pawtucket.

Should be noted ... he was the only media member in the state to cover all six.

[Eric Rueb @EricRueb]

Kudos to WJAR's @zachletson_, covering all three tennis championships on Saturday and all three field hockey matches Sunday. That's a lot more work than people realize and made WJAR the lone TV outlet to get highlights of all six championships.

I break down the move and why it makes sense for the state, the schools and why lower division teams can’t say it’s unfair.

Per source, the RIIL football state championship game will take place on Friday, November 20, at Bryant University’s Beirne Stadium.
All other Super Bowls will take place at Cranston Stadium.

@glenn_haberle Because Rhode Island does divisions based on talent - instead of classification - there can only be one state champ. A team from
D-II isn’t the best in the state. They’re the best of the second tier teams that have elected to play worse competition.

The Providence Journal has taken high school football coverage to another level this season. Week 6 might have been our best of the year.
Here's coverage from the entire week, with stories from ALL the week's games and nine photo galleries.

@ThomasTvaz71 Reported as much in pregame. This app stinks. More extensive coverage on my IG page, which also connects to Facebook.

@rcarlstrom La Salle’s RPI is marginally higher based on a massive difference in Opponents Win Percentage. In short, the Rams are beating better teams. Beating Moses Brown and West and tying EP not great for Cumby’s RPI.

[Eric Rueb @EricRueb]

I used to wonder how Bob Breidenbach was able to cover a whole field with his cameras. Today I found out.
While I’m proud of my photo work, I’ve got years to go before being able to be in Bob’s class.

[Eric Rueb @EricRueb]

Being forced to learn to use a camera was the best thing to happen to my career.
Never imagined it would lead me to being the top sports photog at the Journal, but here I am.
Had fun mixing in a 600mm Monday morning.

@Friars4life1212 I was the only person there with a still camera today. Brendan did a great job getting reaction video at the end, but the Times not having a photog there was shocking after years of seeing Ernie Brown everywhere.

[Eric Rueb @EricRueb]

Not long ago you could count on three TV stations and every local print paper to be at the RI girls tennis final.
WPRI was the lone TV station. The Journal was the only paper to have a writer and photographer.
Some say they care about local sports. Some actually do.

[Eric Rueb @EricRueb]

@Friars4life1212 You and I have very different definitions of what constitutes sports photography, but someone standing still at a baseline with no ball in sight isn't a match photo.

[Eric Rueb @EricRueb]

@Friars4life1212 Show me where the match photos from the Pawtucket Times are.

@CoachDenoKavis Didn’t say he wasn’t
