Spent a few weeks in the summer of ‘90 at “Tournament Tough”.. a who’s-who of tennis nerds’(like me!) favorites were training there, too (certainly not with me). What a legend! RIP Carlos Goffi.

[Randy Walker @TennisPublisher]

Was very sorry to hear of the passing of Carlos Goffi, a brilliant tennis mind and coach (of the McEnroe’s notably). His “Tournament Tough” book and camps were such tools for young players. Here he is with me and Tom Fish in Vero Beach from February when he stopped for a visit.

I pity the fool who doesn't honor his mom today.

This gave me goosebumps.

Después de los resultados de las pruebas realizadas hoy, hemos decidido que lo más prudente es ser cautos y no participar en Roma y Roland Garros, a la espera de valorar la evolución para decidir cuándo volveremos a la pista. Es un momento complicado para mí, pero estoy seguro de que saldremos más fuertes de aquí ❤️

Pellegrino Matarazzo, the pride of Fair Lawn, NJ, led Real Sociedad to Copa del Rey glory 🇺🇸

Here he is at the trophy parade, leading thousands of supporters in song. What a day for he and La Real, what a story for football in the US 👏

This man is a Fair Lawn (N.J.) Cutter!!!

This is effin' wild.

An American coach has led his team to a trophy in a top five league, and this is what it means to their fans.

From a relegation battle to lifting a trophy and Champions League spots well within their reach.

Please help spread the word:

I’m honestly shocked to see my illustration being used on T-shirts sold at the Monte-Carlo Masters without my permission or a licence.

I never expected something like this from such a major tournament.

If someone from the organisers sees this, please contact me so we can resolve this properly.

I am having so much fun watching and calling @JasminePaolini vs. @JelenaOstapenk8 on @TennisChannel App . No idea how this ends, but it's bound to be entertaining! #MiamiOpen

No word on when Cole Hutson makes his NHL debut. But when he does, and assuming Ovechkin is in lineup, Hutson becomes Ovi’s 1st teammate who was born after the captain’s NHL debut. Hutson born 6/28/06, days after Ovi won Calder and introduced Backstrom on stage at Draft in VAN.

This is so great to see and I'll echo Pablo's sentiments. @SoccerInsider is a Hall of Famer. Congrats Steve!

[Pablo Iglesias Maurer @MLSist]

The National Soccer Hall of Fame announces that @SoccerInsider is the recipient of this year's Colin Jose Award, for his lifetime achievements in soccer journalism. A richly deserved recognition for one of the all-time greats in our line of work. Congrats, Steve.

@barrysvrluga @AdamKilgoreWP @avarwallace @spencernusbaum_ @CandaceDBuckner @JasonMurray117 @dcsportsbog Congrats Barry and all of these amazing journalists! We are all better off with you all covering the games and teams we love.

Same! I worked at Sports Phone '95-'96! My first supervisor was @DonLagreca , I shit you not. What a time to be alive!

[Jimmy Traina @JimmyTraina]

Also for younger folks: Back in the day, sports fans/degenerates used to call 976-1313, known as “Sports Phone,” to get scores.

I worked there pre SI in ‘97-‘98. Every 10 minutes, I’d go into a tiny booth and record a message with the current scores.

A great time to be alive.

I want to sincerely thank one of the great writers out there, @barrysvrluga, who will sadly be closing this chapter with the @washingtonpost…you have covered the highs and lows of my career with integrity and passion. Thank you. Looking forward to following your next chapter.🙏

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.
