I’ve never dealt with a more difficult athlete. Second place isn’t close.
Flew to Oklahoma City once to interview Westbrook about his new Jordan brand shoe. He was contractually obligated to answer softball questions. Wouldn’t look at me. Flipped a magazine the entire time. I finally walked out. Wasted a day of my life.
Had I been just starting out in my career I probably would have panicked and thought I did something wrong. Maybe even gone back to my hotel and cried. But it had nothing to do with me. He just looks at media members as sub-human. So I just got up and left and went on with my day
I had a very bad day please send me pictures of your pets. Thank you.
Didn’t mean to freak anyone out. Just my generalized anxiety disorder flaring up and making every tiny task seem impossible, holiday edition!!
The Paradise High School girls basketball team is about to play their first game since the Camp Fire. Every girl on the roster except one lost her home. Here they are linking hands with rival Chico High before tip-off. 
If you’re in the area and want to support these kids, they’re playing at Acker Gym at Chico State right now. Girls at 530. Boys at 700. Donations at the door. Or give online here: nvcf.org/fund/butte-cou…. The high school is still standing but the elementary schools burned down.
I spent the day in Paradise—at least the part the National Guard would let me access. It doesn’t seem like a fire tore through. It looks like it was flattened by a series of bombs.
I know USC fans want Clay Helton gone, but he runs a scandal free program, which should count for a lot given their recent history. 1/2
Pete Carroll abandoned the program in sanctions hell, then Lane Kiffin got fired on a tarmac, then Steve Sarkisian got fired on the way to rehab, then the school’s President was forced to step down for helping cover up a sexual abuse scandal. Helton is a stable, decent man.
I get that he’s not David Shaw but we’re talking about a program that has been an absolute disaster in the last decade. Maybe hire him better assistants and hope for the best next year. And stop flying those FIRE HELTON banners, which don’t help.
The people I knew in college who were preparing for life in public service were NOT getting blackout drunk and groping people. My freshman dorm-mate @RepJoeKennedy never once drank alcohol, and would always drive us gals home from frat parties to make sure we got home safe!
Don't normalize Kavanaugh's behavior. It's not normal. Especially since he was putting himself on track to one day sit on the highest court in the United States.
To be clear: drinking is fine as long as you are not putting anybody in danger. I'm confident that if @RepJoeKennedy ever did drink a beer, he still wouldn't have assaulted anyone. Because he respects women. This is what Kavanaugh, Trump, and their enablers so clearly lack.
I helped @49ers player @SollyThomas90 tell the story about the beautiful life and the gut-wrenching death by suicide of his beloved sister, Ella. I hope you will read his powerful words and share. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Seeing all the responses and kind words of support to @SollyThomas90 and his mother, Martha, and his father, Chris, has me in tears. Secrets keep us sick. We need to keep talking about mental health. It’s how we save lives. ❤️❤️
That “Soon-Yi Speaks” piece is wreckless, irresponsible garbage.
Besides its main goal of trashing Mia Farrow, the other point of the piece is to show how Soon Yi is strong! quirky! smart! and def NOT suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. But Allen is always in the room, constantly interrupting her answers. It’s so gross.
Writing pieces about friends is tricky under the best of circumstances. Writing a story that defends your friend accused of molesting a child and smears the child’s mother should never happen in a magazine as great as @NYMag. It just bums me out, man.
Since Manafort‘s lawyer mentioned he is cutting this deal for his family’s safety, I am wondering if something happened recently that scared him enough to flip so he could get protection for his family, and that’s why this is happening.
Because otherwise it makes no sense. He already spent a ton of money on lawyers and will spend a significant chunk of the rest of his life in prison. So why not just keep fighting til the end and wait for that Trump pardon?
I am not an expert I just play one on Twitter.
TFW @nycsouthpaw finally reveals his identity and you discover you were his RA in college. 😂😂😂
I wonder if @darth is my mom.
OK, to clarify: RA's at Stanford are not NARCs. (I would never!) They just give you free housing to make sure freshman don't die. Carry on.
I don’t really care that Barry Bonds did steroids. What bothers me is how often I witnessed him blow off kids who asked for his autograph. He has an uncanny way of looking right through people he doesn’t want to see.
And I actually had good experiences interviewing him. He was at the twilight of his career when I started mine and in my limited interactions with him he was fine. He’s such a tortured dude. There’s a book there. No one has done it. I don’t think he’s interested in doing it right
If I had a Hall of Fame vote I would vote for Bonds, no question. He’s the best player I ever saw play live, hands down. And maybe the best to ever live. Him not being in the Hall is like the NBA HOF without Michael Jordan. A farce.
Hi, friends. I did a book signing in San Diego on Saturday but I ran out of books. I just found some copies in my house. So if you want a signed, personalized book for $25, email BestTeamBook@gmail.com. I only have a few so hurry if you're interested. xx
Just addressed one of the books to a cat called Clayton Purrshaw. Things are going well! 😹
This went so well I ran out and had to order another box. Email me if you want a signed, personalized copy of my book for $25. I can do it today! BestTeamBook@gmail.com . x
Reading all this Urban Meyer stuff and it is WILD how anyone who wants him fired is accused of being a liberal. We’ve reached the point where one’s feelings about assaulting women tells you which party they belong to. Full stop.
But I guess anyone who still supports Mr. Grab Em By The Pussy, Don’t Even Wait has to believe that women are liars, women are not as important as men, or both.
It is mind-blowing that violence against women is a partisan issue.
Oooooof I hope we trade Trump to Mars before the deadline. 🙏🏼
OMG Mars please take Trump and Roberto Osuna. We will send you all our Bitcoin for the intergalactic draft!!
@Ken_Rosenthal if the US trades Trump to Mars I expect a text after you break it Ken thank u
Tough day to be an Astros fan. Maybe donate $ to a local women’s shelter for every Osuna strikeout. I don’t know what to say. It sucks.
I just...do not understand this move. Especially after a World Series championship. You’re playing with house money, not from a place of desperation.
Gonna log off Twitter and go play with my dog. The Astros have some great and loyal fans who will raise a ton of money for the Houston Area Women’s Shelter, I just know it. hawc.org
This is the dumbest sports article I've ever read. Congrats to everyone who made it happen!!
How dare Bryce Love sully the reputation of the Pac-12 by *checks notes* honoring academic commitments?!?!?
As someone who attended Pac 12 media day, and even got to chat with Mike Leach one-one-one in the lemonade line for two glorious minutes, I can say with certainty that Bryce missed nothing!
Hey everybody it's Thursday. We have almost made it through a really hard week in this country's history. Be kind to yourselves. Go take a relaxing walk in a park. Have some ice cream. Pet a dog. I love you all. <3
We gotta keep our energy to keep fighting so please take care of yourselves in any way you can. Even if it's just a lil nap. It helps. I know it is hard. Some days I am so filled with anger and sorrow it is hard to see straight. Hold each other tight. We need all of you. x
If you do not take care of yourself you will not have the energy to fight for those who need your help. Trump will continue to go after the most vulnerable among us. We cannot allow him to win by exhausting us.
Emergency pic of Pirate rolling in the grass right now
Pirate had an anal gland issue a few weeks ago and he just finished up his antibiotics. At his follow-up appointment just now the vet said “his butt looks pristine.”
Happy Wednesday, everybody.
Happy Wednesday, everybody.
Oh my god how is it only Tuesday
I take Lexapro to help manage my anxiety disorder. About a month ago I thought maybe I didn’t need it anymore because I hadn’t had anxiety in a long time. I exercise, I meditate, I love my family and friends. I work with a doctor. I shouldn’t need it, right? WRONG.
Within a week I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t eat, could barely function. Just wanted to hide out under the covers at my mom’s house. Luckily, I’ve been through this before and I knew what it was. I told my tribe what was happening and they helped me to get help fast.
It still involved doing all the things that I mentioned above (meditation, socializing, working), but also getting to a cognitive therapist, going back on the Lexapro, forcing myself to eat, and taking Ativan (which I hate) to stop the horrible thoughts and help me sleep.
The thing about Sean Hannity’s meltdowns is they are going to get so much worse.
My dude is going to have an absolute nervous breakdown. And it’s probably going to happen on live television.
You just can’t yell and scream a lot of lies on television every night that result in a lot of vulnerable people getting hurt and have your life turn out well.
I thought Pirate was making guttural noises at his food bowl for no reason. TURNS OUT THERE IS A POSSUM IN MY KITCHEN.
My landlord shrugged and gave me a bunch of numbers to call. Nobody is answering. The possum lives there now. I have moved.
You know when your otherwise calm as fuck dog is barking nonstop at a wall the best case scenario is you’re about to be murdered by a ghost.
After reading about one former NFL cheerleader's experience with workplace harassment I dug into the stories of other cheerleaders' claims. I was horrified by what I found. We need to do a better job of supporting and protecting these women. #TimesUp marieclaire.com/career-advice/…
These women are told what to wear and expected to laugh off being groped by drunk dudes. They're paid minimum wage and rarely report harassment out of fear they won't be hired to cheer again the next year. Most can't even disclose their NFL team affiliation on social media.
One former cheerleader said she wanted to seek counseling for depression and panic attacks but she didn't have health insurance and couldn't afford it. Why aren't these women considered employees? They're so popular among fans, What the hell is going on?
You’ve taken $3.9 million in blood money from the NRA. Save your prayers for something else @marcorubio.
You’ve taken $3.8 million in blood money from the NRA. Save your heartbreak for something else @sencorygardner.
You’ve taken $3.1 million in blood money from the NRA. Save your prayers for something else @senrobportman.
