@RGA The new “BREAKING.” Yay.

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@Carlos__Turcios What a joke. A story about one guy’s theories with the only evidence being that multiple devices were seen? This is blatant fear-mongering.

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@MikeSilver If only we lived a world where you could only insult someone in person. But especially Dre Greenlaw 😂

@susanslusser @baseballhall @susanslusser what’s the best way to share a letter of appreciation/thanks, so that it gets to Mike? In Fall 1994, the strike year, he made time for an interview with me when I was a college sports editor at Cal Poly. It meant a ton — more than just the story I was able to write.

@Eric_Branch This is awful. But can someone dig into what “layoff” actually means here? Papa had said he only gets paid when he’s on the air, so it seems like it’s a different type of layoff than if he were to lose wages and insurance. Really hoping @CumulusMedia does the right thing here.

@jappleby @RTNBA @NickFriedell Oh but you can tell from that photo that he’s about to demand a trade. 🙄

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@timkawakami That’s why I wouldn’t be shocked if Eldridge is traded… probably can’t trade Devers, but I wonder what kind of haul an offseason trade for Eldridge could yield. Or are teams not going to do anything because of the labor agreement?

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@jappleby Any job or task really. Gotta know why before you execute the how. (And having the discipline to define sucess for everything helps)

@LombardiHimself Check the database! Who was at fault?? They are hiding something!

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@ZirpCapital360 And apparently so does French soccer/football culture?

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@gailalfaratx @wholemars I’m taking more time off this summer to hang w my kids. Does that make me retarded? Kind of a hostile take, don’t you think?

@mayemusk @elonmusk

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@StyriaAnon @benonwine According to Grok, this is soccer celebration from France in May.

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@giantssfcentral Tick tick tick tick …

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@ArgusEyed365 @FieldGeneral13 lol. The irony is that for every bit of info he surfaces, he turns it into endless assumptions and speculation. Any investigative work he actually does (wow - he emailed the police department!) just fuels his conspiracy theories.

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@FieldGeneral13 It’s not about what he cares about. He gets paid via Twitter’s Creator Revenue Sharing. So as long as people keep liking his garbage, he’ll keep making money,

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@MikeSimmons Aw man, I’m so sorry Mike.

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@ChristianS50680 @NinerNick_22 Uh, what does this even mean? He’s paid by The Standard, his employer. Better than those engagement farmers that get paid by Twitter to stir up sh&t

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@49ersSportsTalk Wait, you’re calling a reporter who physically goes to the facility/games/locker room and interviews players/execs an aggregator? What are you then? Or am I missing something? … you don’t have to like the guy but at least he actually does original reporting.

[Troy Petersen @Troy_Petersen]

@ryantdarby @DannyG_49 Step 4: collect on Twitter Creator revenue sharing. These fake journalists are maddening but sadly enabled by the platform
