@markcstory Mark, I'm very sorry to hear about Frank, a fellow Glaswegian. As someone who was a prep sports reporter down in Alabama for about a dozen years, I can definitely say that Frank's website was far better than almost any other state association's recordkeeping, especially MaxPreps.

@Devin_Heroux Not knowledgeable about squash, love the rest. Assuming cricket is Twenty20.

@ScottButtram I'm sure you know that Dearborn is a predominantly Muslim community.

@VitalVegas I get the joke. How about $2.69 around Owensboro, Kentucky?

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@VitalVegas Uh... Culinary? (Duh )

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@RamsPhilsGSW @VitalVegas Yes. But they're telling you to mail a post card. (Didn't know they even had those still.)

@ScottButtram The Tutwiler is a Hampton Inn & Suites, yet the reporter calls it a "luxury hotel." I love Hampton Inns and stay there often, but they are by no means luxury, and that includes the Tutwiler. Do better.

@Michael06483673 @mattmurphyshow And yet, here you are.

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@mattmurphyshow @Michael06483673 Matt, you would've liked an old-school newspaper reporter named Larry Brinton. Started at the Nashville Banner in the 1950s, an unlikely switch to TV in 1979 at Ch. 5, then to Ch. 4 in 2001. What a journalist. https://t.co/sdz6leYpN2

@Michael06483673 @mattmurphyshow Murphy isn't a reporter. He's a talk commentator. There's a difference. Do better.

@ScottButtram The Tennesseean hasn't been worth crap for quite a while.

@palmettocurling Double wow!

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@TomArenberg @ScottButtram I read this elsewhere. My eyes filled with tears.

@Devin_Heroux The NFL needs to use the CFL overtime format. This was awesome.

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@mattmurphyshow Sad, as a Kentuckian. But it's time.

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@ByCasagrande I almost forgot: Merritt Beason, who transferred to Nebraska from Florida, is from Gardendale High. She's at this game. Story idea?

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@ByCasagrande It is awesome. Big downside, though, is the only way anyone more than 40 feet away from the court can see the game is on the big screen. But man, the fan support!

@bhambizjrnl The likelihood of Birmingham going metro is microscopic, not just because of race but because of big differences in politics. Birmingham is skewing even more liberal under its current mayor. Those politics won't fly in the burbs, some of the most conservative places in the USA.

[Robert Carter @RobertLCarter]

@bhambizjrnl As a native Kentuckian, I can say confidently that the differences between Lexington and Birmingham are huge. Lexington's "suburbs" were/are almost all huge horse farms.
