something folks probably can't get from watching on tv is how the former athletes who are now my colleagues take the same approach and pride in their work from the field and use it in broadcasting. and they're *much* more open to critique than us "real" journalists.
and @Foxworth24 isn't just jumping on tv talking. he's hitting the road, doing magazine features, something i personally wouldn't have had the confidence to do until very recently. a rare talent indeed.
@Foxworth24 i've learned a lot about a lot from @Foxworth24, and every single thing on which i've worked with him has been better because he's on it. not sure anything is more fun than doing hq with dan and domonique. dude's a beast at this, and it's great to know he'll be doing more of it.

gets to virginia tech as a five-star recruit. shares the job with sean glennon as a freshman (tangent: if you want to see a game where it seems like the defense has 15 players, check out va tech-lsu from 2007).
plan was to redshirt him in '08, but tech lost to east carolina in their first game, and the line was too bad for glennon to do anything behind it.
sooooo welcome back, tyrod. that's...not really a good break for tyrod. you get to play because you're fast enough to save yourself
re: haskins, this is also what happens when the folks who drafted you move on. daniel jones won’t see the pine as long as gettleman is there, for example.
i just wanna know who encouraged those ohio state players to put that out. wasn't any need to, as far as i can tell. i think that's the part that's uncomfortable. feels like someone grown encouraged them to undercut their peers.
just wanna point out that kirk ferentz did that whole I DIDN'T KNOW! routine last month, and the college football media gave him the benefit of the doubt.
only to find out the school already investigated this and ferentz already knew the findings.
so, college football media, anyone wanna explain how they let ferentz play them when what he had to say to the press last month was obviously implausible? how'd you fall for that?
in 2005, jesse jackson was at the nabj convention in atlanta. this was probably the time when i was most inclined toward skepticism toward jesse (loooooong discussion for another day).
anyway, jesse was there to let people know the voting rights act was up for renewal.
to me, this seemed like a bit of grandstanding from jesse. i mean, the voting rights act was up for renewal. got it. but...i mean, it's not like they'd ever get rid of the voting rights act. they couldn't be that crazy or shameless. we were *past that*, right?
