Jokes aside, thanks to @tapjoy for featuring me in their Mobile Champions series this week. Had a great time chatting with them about the mobile industry, and how we can all get better.

Barry Melrose has Parkinson's disease and is stepping away from our ESPN family to spend more time with his. I've worked with Barry at ESPN for over a quarter century. Cold beers and hearty laughs in smokey cigar bars. A razor sharp wit, he was always early & looked like a million bucks. I love him. I'll miss him. Wayne Gretzky on a life dedicated to hockey
I’m usually not one to complain about every broadcasting blunder, but this NBC coverage of The Open is painful to watch. 1/3 of the airtime is “Playing Through” and 1/3 is fluff pieces about Liverpool. Just show the damn golf.

Dodgers announcers on the same sequence:
"Boy oh boy, Phil Cuzzi just made being a Major League hitter way harder than it already is."
"Both sides of the plate were an extra three inches. We shall take it. I mean, that's not even close."
"That's impossible for a hitter"

"If I want to travel somewhere after I have kids, I'll just take them with me."
I've heard this sentiment expressed fairly often in the future tense, but almost never in the present or past tense.
The killing of Banko Brown was a tragedy & my heart breaks for his friends & family.
After careful review, we are not pursuing murder charges at this time because of credible evidence of reasonable self-defense.
It is my duty to follow the law & evidence wherever it may lead.
