Today was my final day at the @TimesFreePress & in journalism.
I’ll be heading back to @LeeU for my masters to begin a career in education.
I want to give the community, our readers and sources a heartfelt thank you for your trust.
For fun, here’s a photo of me on assignment.

@HPbasketball Epic two-screen night for us few Spurs/Avs crossover fans. Friday was not a pleasant viewing experience.

@ByJayKing “Celtics” in bio is all we need to see

@JoshEberley If OKC is crying foul, that is absurd 😂
They’ve taken unethical basketball to new heights.

@JMcDonald_SAEN He has a fine point. Wemby is wrapped around the neck by one player and has another shoving him. How there was no whistle before the elbow is mind numbing.
Officials need to figure out how to officiate Wemby. This is every game.
Play should have been long over before elbow.

@TeamEmiratesUAE @TamauPogi @StradeBianche Props to the photog on getting this out on socials so quickly. Nice shot.

@andreperrotta13 To have to take a timeout to save a delay of game on the opening play of a drive while your QB is telling you to hurry up is fireable coaching

@laflammerouge16 @musiclover64 Comparing them stylistically is what started this all … not their ability.

@BenjiNaesen 3 or 4. A worthwhile watch but not a memorable tour. Non-competitive GC battle. Not overly exciting stage wins/stories. Jasper crashing out and very few sprint stages kept us from what could have been an epic Jasper disaster, Merlier, Milan sprint supremacy battle.

@NairoInGreen man, sad what Phil has become. He and Paul were unmatched in their heyday.

@Ddozmoe @BenjiNaesen A big part of cycling is about being in position. Seems logical to go up the right hand side to get food. Not sure what UAE is doing in the middle if they want to take a feed.

@ChristianVDV I’m curious if yesterday was all about kilojoules. Visma’s DS told the boys on the radio at the end of the stage that the team did well and accomplished its goal of making the day hard. I’m curious if they’re trying to ramp up the daily effort to add fatigue

[Mark Pace @themarkpace]

@Roadman_Podcast Ehh. Sounds good but not sure this is true (even overlooking the made up numbers).
Unchained not gaining wide interest isn’t some great thing for cycling.
Teams embracing it could have helped grow the sport. In the end, the show has been too French-focused and didn’t resonate

@BenjiNaesen @LucGrefte Decided to throw on the 2020 Tour preview for kicks and giggles today while waiting for this year’s. Obviously, we all know you correctly called the Tadej win, but you also correctly predicted a Stage 6 breakaway win by Lutsenko 🤯

@PMacCoon Atta girl, Jayla! @JaylaGladden1

@dosleprechauns with McGlinchey, Fisher, Eichenberg, Banks, Patterson, Mustipher and Hainsey coming off the bench

@PeteSampson_ Props to Penn State here, but I feel like they’re a slightly worse, but healthier, version of ND.

[Mark Pace @themarkpace]

@BenjiNaesen Who’s this year’s surprise podium finisher at a grand tour?

[Mark Pace @themarkpace]

@ginevragarga Same guy riding flat pedals has the “Alp d’ Zwift” KOM.

@FOX19Jeremy Someone go tell Zac there has been an emergency and he is needed elsewhere this drive

@PChrisBrantley My TL lol
