Please help identify this thief...he stole a trailer from a home on Hwy 77..... #NameThatThief for $1,000, please Alex!

I have to admit I really like the @Nickelodeon broadcast better than the @NFLonCBS version.

I would strongly recommend avoiding purchasing an extended appliance warranty from @HomeDepot, particularly if it’s serviced by @Sears. 10 weeks, 4 no-shows, forged signatures on work orders, and still no working dishwasher. Abysmal.

@dcharris lol. It reminded me of Sinatra’s In The Wee Small Hours album cover. Coach just needs a cigarette.

@ESPNRittenberg Why do people continue to talk about deserving? The playoff criteria are clear on the subject. Hancock reiterated it this week.

Get-in prices for each Power 5 conference championship game (via @gametime):

SEC — $533
ACC — $88
Big 12 — $71
Big Ten — $58
Pac-12 — $42

The SEC Championship's get-in price is more than twice as much as the rest of the Power 5 conference title games combined.

@t_mccleskey94 @BurnerLJohnson @_NickKelly @MGP_2017 Again, Autrey’s crew is the worst in the conference by a wide margin.

In 1995, my roommate (Ken) signed up for open-ring boxing at the Bama Beach Club....he almost killed the dude in the first round (2 round fight)...about a minute into the 2nd, he gave out and got whipped....that's exactly how I feel right now....whipped! #RollTide

@MattBrownEP In today's newletter, who is Chun? I think their introduction got edited out. I'm assuming AD Pat Chun (safe bet) but the lack of introduction was disconcerting. There's an unattributed quote about the counties, which I guess was from Chun but the intro was removed.

[Mark Ponder @MarkOnCFB]

@ghilltide @Wolves @CPFC @WestHam @LUFC Crystal Palace is the correct answer. History, location (if you go to London), passionate fan base.

Wow. After UGA demanded a retraction of recent investigative story about the program's handling of sexual abuse allegations, the AJC has issued corrections and fired the reporter, Alan Judd.

Proud of @Dakota_frank9 and his efforts today at the AHSAA XC All-star event. A PR of 15:41.11 and a third place finish aren't too shabby for July in Alabama. Thanks to @Coach_M_Easley ,@devan_totherow, and @CoachKilgore_ for their support.

[Mark Ponder @MarkOnCFB]

@MattBrownEP One thing that has always impressed me about Coach Saban is his commitment to the mental health aspect of football, dating back to his MichState days. He does it primarily to improve on-field performance, but it’s more than most were willing to do through the years.

Barry Manilow wrote “Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm is There,” “I’m Stuck on Band-Aid Brand Because Band-Aid’s Stuck on Me,” and “You Deserve a Break Today at McDonald’s.”

Everyone should know this.

@paulponder1322 @RealSkipBayless We could only hope. Real life isn’t that gracious to us.

Massive props. When he suggested ESPN needs to just put on a show from the library and let America pray….truly the right call.

USC was gifted 5 seconds due to an official's error that had nothing to do with the play unfolding. Crazy. @ghilltide
