@ChocolateMoana @mjohnso27 @AkinSawyerr @kemo_Adi Talent is God given, and with hard work, talent can be improved upon.
Opportunity is man made, and no matter how hard you work, you may never get the opportunity you deserve.
Make the most of your God-given talent so you don’t have to wait on someone to give you an opportunity.

Hopefully someone at @SouthwestAir
can tell me why my 90-year-old Mother who is sitting at DFW was not told that @SouthwestAir does does not use DFW, they use Love Field - DAL, which is 30 minutes away.

No one told her until it was too late to get the last flight of the day.

One family, three schools, lots of baseball: Gasper twins (@DavidGasper23), Dominic face off at sectional.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr. A devoted father, husband, grandfather, and a true pioneer in the Minnesota broadcasting community, he spent his life pouring into the people and the city he loved so much.

He left us peacefully this afternoon, surrounded by his family and the people who loved him most.

We are so grateful for the incredible care and kindness shown by the team at the University of Minnesota Fairview Southdale Hospital during this time.
We ask that you keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate these first difficult days.

With love,

The Fitzgerald Family

Postgrad press release: I just finished my first week as a producer at @1075thefan.

Thank you to @KentSterling for putting me in touch with the station and for being in my corner. I’ve already had the chance to run the board and meet some great people.

Let’s work!

[Nick Rodecap @NickRodecap]

A couple of weeks in, and I just ran the board solo this afternoon for @gregrakestraw on @1075thefan. Will do the same tomorrow for @JMV1070. Enjoying my time behind the scenes… it keeps me on my toes!

@NolanWhitehead8 Nolan, as you gain more muscle and weight it will impact your swing.

Your brain needs time to adjust to you being stronger.

Bat speed is critical until things even out.

Try a heavier bat at practice and during the game try a lighter bat.

Speed is the key!

10 seasons. What an incredible ride it was. I was blessed to be around some of the greatest people this sport has to offer. I always wanted to leave each place better than how I found it and with that I can hang my hat. Forever grateful for my family and brothers! Cheers

Back in the mid-90s, a 21-year-old man named Mike Marcum, nicknamed “Madman”, claimed he was building a time machine… in his backyard. It started with something called a Jacob’s Ladder, a high-voltage electrical arc setup. But he didn’t stop there. He added a laser and believed he had created a small “time vortex.” He shared his wild experiments on the late-night radio show Coast to Coast AM, hosted by Art Bell, and told listeners he was close to building a full-scale machine. To power it, he used massive transformers, some allegedly borrowed without permission, which reportedly caused a blackout and landed him briefly in jail. In 1996, he returned to the show claiming he was just 30 days away from testing the machine on himself.
Then… he vanished. For years, people speculated. Did he run? Did something go wrong? In 2015, he resurfaced, claiming he had reappeared two years in the future, hundreds of miles away, with no memory of how he got there.
Whether you see it as science fiction, delusion, or elaborate storytelling, the tale taps into something timeless: our obsession with bending reality itself.
Was this a misunderstood experimenter chasing impossible physics, or one of the strangest self-mythologies ever broadcast on late-night radio?

[Dr.L @DrAlmarielao]

@AngelMD1103 Madman Marcum’s story is peak 90s weirdness — Jacob’s Ladder to time vortex to sudden disappearance? Art Bell really had the best guests. Still wondering if he actually jumped or just pulled the ultimate radio prank. What do you think really happened? ”

Jalen got one of the most exclusive interviews of the night—Patriots Coach Mike Vrabel. Mike did an awesome job rebuilding the Pats in 1 year.

@prairiegale @Hot_Pepper76 Unrelated, but fast forward 10 years later and you could actually walk the entire length of the campus at Mizzou and all you would hear - nonstop - blasting out of every dorm was the soundtrack from the movie “Grease”

The horror was real

Over, and over and over again!
