Day No. 12,931 at the Trib for me. That countdown ends. Thanks to an early retirement package, my days as a full-time employee are over. I’ll still be providing occasional Steelers coverage. The paychecks will just be coming a different way. So this is -30- but only temporarily.

@BrianBatko Here’s wishing you a parking spot on the other side of the indoor. But please remember not to back into your spot.

@KevinGormanPGH Party all the time!

@_denisesalcedo how how about Hollywood and Fine for a nickname because it incorporates your nickname and what bully thinks of himself

On the day Aaron Rodgers returned to the Steelers for one more season, a reminder that he sent me into retirement with a 100% catch/target ratio thanks to an errant practice toss.

@rnoltyjr @BurgerKing I’ve had this problem too. Not too much later that franchise was shuttered. Coincidence?

Kayden McDonald was the last man standing in the green room at the NFL Draft. He went to the Texans early in the 2nd round Friday and said the selection was worth the wait.

@_NoahHiles Feel free to meet me there!

Kayden McDonald, the only unpicked potential first-rounder left in town, goes to the Houston Texans early in the second. He gets his hug with Roger Goodell.

@AroundThe412 That’s cold!

Joe Haden is in the house. He’s announcing Browns second-round pick. Looks like he could still cover.

Day 1 vs Day 2 exiting the T. Not much difference.

@DraftBoardGuru @AmandaFGodsey From what I saw last night inside the media compound, Amanda, they are letting all kinds of folks in, legit and not.

@PghTransitAlert Try having your drivers open the doors at the correct stops and not blow through two in a row before letting folks off. This happened on red line at St. Anne.

[Joe Rutter @tribjoerutter]

Fernando Mendoza is the first pick -- a no-brainer.
Since he's not here, Roger Goodell should have said, "I'll be accepting this award on his behalf."

[Joe Rutter @tribjoerutter]

I am now on the clock.

This guy just strolled across the draft stage waving a Terrible Towel and proclaiming that he can accomplished a "bucket-list" item by attending the draft.
