@Dlwiggins5 Why is it so hard to reach your company? I'm a Pentaire system owner and have been on hold with Customer Service for over an hour with no signs of them answering. Can you help me out?

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@vgregorian It's funny how this HOF voting has caused negative views of the voters as opposed to negative views of the candidate who was maybe the biggest douchebag in NFL history! Kudos for explaining your vote publicly.

@MLBNetwork Had never heard that Ichiro was a natural righty. Fitting that he gets inducted with Billy Wagner, the LHP who was also a natural righty! Great story Tom!

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@PHLY_Eagles How about Lane Johnson basically blocking two guys on that play? The reverse double-team!

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@DFlemingSpeaks your analysis of the Ben Johns time outs is priceless!

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@leighsteinberg ...but at least your rich athletes will have you protecting them from the dangers of gambling.

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@leighsteinberg Just read your opinion piece in the NYT. You are certainly right about the "ticking time bomb" but you have the wrong victims of the explosion. We are probably only a few years away from having an entire generation of broke young men in this country....

@SelkirkTv Parenteau's paddle is like a rocket launcher. (legal?)

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@PPAtour What happened to the video of Bright/Rohrabacher David/Kawamoto at the Veolia Houston Open? Is there anywhere to watch the complete match?

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@rich_hofmann 4 things from today's newsletter...1) great triva question; 2) it was time; 3) Portland does stink; 4) Golden State definitely does not stink. Don't look at their record. They will surprise you tonight -- they are really good with Draymond back. Lost close games.

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@OfficialAPPTour What happened to the Day 4 stream from Punta Gorda? Why isn't on Youtube?

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@ohnohedidnt24 Tobias Harris a dog? Seriously? But not the kind of dog you are talking about Perk.

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@ccwhip @ScribnerBooks @BrianRoss @Lawrence @NicolleDWallace @HarperCollins @harrylitman Loved your book and that's a great column today. But one question....do you really consider John Kelly a failure as Chief of Staff?

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@peter_king Just finished reading @praddenkeefe book Empire of Pain about Purdue and the Sacklers. Great read, but more importantly, it should lower your expectations for whatever Mary Jo White's so-called "investigation" will come up with.

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@Molson_Hart Are you asking who to "contact" or who to "contribute" to? Without the $$ you aren't likely to get a response, let alone any help. Let's be honest.....

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

...and 0 career post-season highlights (yet) don't make an HOFer. Pro Bowls and MVP votes are a joke (see Mark Mosely 1982). For def. players, you can see greatness when it's there (Reggie and Dawk). If the Eagles win, unless they have a huge play or two, why should that matter?

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@RoobNBCS Love your commentary Roob, and understand your point about Suh and Cox, but you should be pointing out the ridiculousness of Pro Bowl and Super Bowl appearances as measuring sticks for the HOF, not supporting them. Fletch is great, but one All Pro......

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

and McCarthy probably realizes he could work better with Jeffries, et all than he can with the 19 dissenters. He could say it was Trump's idea.

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@CatieEdmondson your readers have it wrong in your last post. Base dems would work with McCarthy to have coalition leadership. He would be Speaker (and lord knows what he would give away for that) with split committee leadership. That would really cleave off the far right.

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@Hertz Finally! After about 24 hours and many, many phone calls, Giuseppe in @Hertz Milano finally found us a car. We now just have to get a driver to take us to Alba for the car (as there are no taxis in this region). But at least we aren't stranded anymore!

[Randy Cherkas @randallgts]

@Hertz Wanted to let you know about the service I am getting in Italy. My Jeep died this morning. Hertz Milan sent a tow guy who couldn't fix the car and then towed it...with no replacement coming. Milan office closed by 2pm (despite hours saying 8-6) and left me stranded.
