My 9-year-old son got his computer taken away from him at school yesterday because he was caught watching an NCAA Tourney game. Not sure if I should be upset or proud.

Lots of changes announced today, but ESPN Radio won't be the same without @espngolic , who started w/ the network in October 1998. That's thousands of mornings, interviews, stories, road shows, friendly wagers - and, yes, donuts. There's a reason Mike is a Hall of Famer.

Last hour of @GolicAndWingo . Given the importance of family to @espngolic , no better way to cap off an amazing radio career than to share the final moments with his amazing family. Will be forever grateful for the time I got to spend working alongside such a pro. #ThankYouGolic
