So I had the tremendous honor of accepting the Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction, Sports for our @NASCAR Studios/@Bluefoot_tv show “Home Turn.” The show, about Daytona Beach around the track, is so damn good thanks to everyone involved behind the camera, but the music choices by the great @timothyhorgan are sublime, and the support from NASCAR's John Dahl (pictured with me) was invaluable. (Link to the show in next tweet)

Also: when you’re walking onto a stage like that, the mic looks like it’s about half a mile away. And thank God for notes, because wow, does your mind goes blank at @TheEmmys.

Statement from BC Partners Credit, would-be creditors of LIV:

“BC Partners Credit supported a transaction that aligned the interests of players and investors, offering a credible path toward building a sustainable future for LIV Golf. While there was great support for the league, we are disappointed that mutually acceptable terms could not be reached among the various stakeholders. We commend LIV Golf’s management for their tireless efforts and thank the players who supported the future of LIV and engaged constructively throughout. We wish them every success as they continue their careers.”

LIV Golf is dead, but the mark it left on golf will last for decades. Story & obituary at @YahooSports: https://t.co/6BhYFDdJIg

LIV will be "pivoting," in attorneys' words, to a wind-down plan to attempt to satisfy the league's creditors. That plan is scheduled to begin in the coming days, and could be wrapped up by the end of the year. And that would be the final end of LIV Golf.

Breaking: Per the bankruptcy hearing now unfolding in New Jersey, LIV 2.0 is not proceeding, and will be winding down the business. Much more to come on this.

Appears time is running out for LIV Golf 2.0.

FT SCOOP: BC Partners to drop bid for LIV 2.0 as it can't get enough players to commit in time to meet deadlines set with PIF and LIV.

Court hearing set for tomorrow where more details to be shared:

With all THAT out of the way, let's focus on the real issue currently plaguing our country ...

... why a 24-team playoff will ruin great college football weekends like the one coming up. Column for @YahooSports: https://t.co/xhPVvtQUTA

The College Football Playoff selection committee deserves your sympathy this year instead of the usual hate.

No, really!

Stood behind Mick Jagger in a Shoreditch bakery in 2014. They’d run out of the apple strudel he frequently ordered. I then took one of the biggest risks of my life.

“You can’t always get what you want,” I said. He turned to face me. My heart exploded. “But if you try sometimes,” he sang. His face lit up and I joined him in a duet: “you get what you need!”

People around us applauded and Mick took my hand and we did a theatrical bow. I’ll never forget that moment.

What a lad 👏👏

The NFC East is a train wreck into a burning Dumpster filled with portable toilets, and you'll still be seeing them on national TV so, SO many more times this year. Column for @YahooSports: https://t.co/H7uYYORba7

Parents, PLEASE check your kids’ Halloween candy. I just found a Snickers bar filled with Justin Herbert interceptions.

A goalpost jammed through a bus. Postgame pizza stomped into goo. A stolen ambulance. I assure you, you are not ready for how psychotic the Georgia Southern-App State rivalry is. Read more here at @RDPeachtree:

Georgia Southern vs App State is here! Deeper than Hate is one of the best college rivalries, and one of the most insane. #GATA #GeorgiaSouthern #AppState #DeeperThanHate

It brings me no joy to report that the next generation of parents are kicking our asses on Halloween. We hauled wagons with coolers of beer and thought we were cool. They have fire pits, drink-mixing stations and big-screen TVs with football on. Respect.

hi, hello: yahoo writer here!

for whatever it’s worth, neither of these pieces were written by anyone at yahoo.

the site houses a lot of work from other places (you’ll see links from The Athletic, for example) and I think this is an unfortunate case of nonsense — and it *is* nonsense — slipping through.

I’ve sent these over & I think they’re in the process of being removed from the site.

Played some truly terrible golf today, friends. Singlehandedly shrunk the game. Grown men wept. Augusta National sent me a first-ever disinvitation. But at least the frozen uncrustable at the turn was delicious.

BREAKING: Game 6 of the WNBA Finals will be played Thursday at 12:30 PM ET at 17,000-seat State Farm Arena in Atlanta, per @ramonashelburne.

The Atlanta Hawks-Cleveland Cavaliers game that night will move back to 8 pm to accommodate the doubleheader.

By moving the game earlier in the day, the WNBA avoided a scenario where a potential championship game was played inside the Dream’s home arena, the 3,500-seat Gateway Center.
