My dad died last week, living his Catholic faith to the very end. I was invited to write about him by retired Cincinnati Post and Cincinnati Enquirer columnist, Paul Daugherty in PD’s The Morning Line space. Thank you, @EnquirerDoc.

Buddy LaRosa is 95, carries himself with infectious joy, and tells stories like no other.
His recipe for a good life?
Work hard and pray. @LaRosasPizza

@mattswaim Agree. We should pump brakes if ever the phrase "one-stop shopping" is used in any context when it comes to conception/unborn babies/human life. Actually, slam on brakes.

Proof I have interests beyond just one sport.

@Buckeye158 @wrestlingbucks Wow...Thanks, Tom. Appreciate it!

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

@ABChiyoda @AbbyJohnson Nah. If we did that, the world's greatest gift--children--wouldn't be possible. You do know how it all works, don't you?
Men AND women...don't sleep around/have sex with whomever. If you do, be responsible and accept potential consequences. Don't murder a baby. EasyPeasy.

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

@BatikE @AbbyJohnson Because the baby is dependent upon another for growth and nourishment while connected to that person in pregnancy doesn't give the that person the right to have that baby killed. The baby continues to depend upon others after birth, too. Dependence doesn't mean we can kill.

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

@ABChiyoda @AbbyJohnson Nope. She's sick to her soul sorry about what she did because she doesn't believe the lie anymore. She knows now that a separate human being--the tiniest, most defenseless of all--is inside a woman during pregnancy. Keep spreading the word, Abby!

@upfrontmma @mariolopezviva Throwing in the boots once he was on top like any experienced wrestler would (unless that's a judo thing, too?). #salute

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

Imagine having never wrestled, but you decide to walk on your college wrestling team.
When the Idea Well is dry, I publish throwback pieces. Going back a bit w/this one. And @MarkTiernan7 is still a WestSideLegend because of what he did 30 years ago.

@LilaGraceRose Commenters: No matter how evil a person was, it's odd-to use just one word-to HOPE he/she is in Hell. What kind of life is being lived by anyone who hopes another person is damned? Christ told us to pray for our enemies. It's hard--like a lot of virtuous things. Do it anyway.

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

@vikingbeard90 @LilaGraceRose Because it's what we are promised if we (truly) repent for our sins, no matter how evil. The alternative is to hope another human being is in Hell, and what kind of life is that to live--hoping someone, anyone, is in Hell?

Final 'Buckeye Insider' of 2025-26 season.
Third year in the books. It's a privilege covering this team. Appreciate the time the wrestlers give whenever asked, and very much appreciate the time and candor @Buckeye158 offers in every single interview. https://t.co/fEm18FfV1R

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

Buckeyes' coach Tom Ryan reflects on the 'gift' of - and the good that can be culled from - a lopsided loss. Plus, Buckeyes starters return for next week's Big Ten tourney. @Buckeye158 https://t.co/EjJI2PxXNq

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

Members of the 2025-26 wrestling Buckeyes have had their share of some of life's darkest valleys.
A bond--and a 14-0 record--has resulted.
As always, thanks to @Buckeye158 and the @wrestlingbucks.

@adamtirapelle @dbeshada1 I think someone VERY overlooked in terms of collegiate greatness was Alan Fried. Went to finals every year he was able (3...one of his years, OK State was on probation), 129-6 record, lost to only 2 wrestlers in his career & 5 of his 6 losses were to Tom Brands (who he also beat)

@brick295 @coachmjr @CPyles8 College athletes getting paid is in its infancy.
If you think there's zero chance college athletes-even wrestlers-will ever make more than their coaches, cool,
Some of us just follow trend of all other pro sports, which college athletics now is, and we kinda know it'll come.

[Nick Corey @nickcorey167]

@brick295 @coachmjr @CPyles8 Don't say "never"...you do realize most pro football, baseball and basketball players make more than their coaches, right? Not sure why you don't think college won't be the same some time soon.
College sports aren't amateur anymore.

@someguy1169805 @CPyles8 Do you work for free? All these folks who think Flo's coverage should be free live in a world I'm unfamiliar of.

@pickles_donald @Buckeye158 And just like that, we know Don still hasn't gotten over last year's election results. #rage
