i just read where Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse got $20M in the “small business” PPP loan. Seems a good time to tell s story about Ruth’s.

Two years ago, through a variety of means (appearances, commercial trade etc) I had accumulated gift cards to several restaurants.

@SportsCenter
will document
@Yg_Trece
's offseason in a three-part series called "Paul George: My Journey" starting tomorrow in the 6 p.m. ET show. The first show will focus on George's rise to
@NBA
stardom.
Some band called BTS just stirred the Billboard Music Awards into a “Michael Jackson is gonna take off his sunglasses” level frenzy, and as far as I know they did “Takin’ Care of Business”.

@Speedway
-This is Marcus at Indianapolis store 7887. He was workin’ during the holidays and has the store spotlessly clean. He clearly takes pride in his work. You should be proud to have him.
I’m posting this to verify that, as promised, I would donate every dollar generated to the clerk involved in the armed robbery I witnessed.
Thank You, everyone. People are good.
Last week, I hit a cat on my way to work. It was awful. I acted appropriately, but it’s haunted me.
So- Tuesday I walked into
@IndyHumane
& asked for a cat that was against the odds.
This is Boo. He’s 9, & had been in shelters since October. Not anymore.
He’s with me to stay.
tune of $20,000,000. And if they didn’t, but still some day have the desire or means to enjoy a great steak dinner in Indianapolis, I hope they do the same thing you would:
Enjoy

From the State Finals, to hitting IU’s NCAA title winning free throws, to surviving an NBA plane crash, to coaching ABA titles for Indiana, to saving
@Pacers
as an NBA franchise to coining “Boom Baby”, there has NEVER been a more all encompassing Indiana hoops legend.
God Speed.
This is a glaring Colts disaster because it invalidates their explanation for last year’s collapse in Jacksonville, and validates every concern from the outside that they arrogantly & defiantly dismissed.
Since we now have a forest fire from a gender reveal party, I can break this news:
Aside from your spouse or your parents, no one cares about your gender reveal.
CAN NOT make this up: The bro across the aisle and the bro behind me just realized Fort Myers (where they are apparently Spring Breaking) and Fort Lauderdale (this flight’s destination) are different places. “We’re gonna have to Uber, dude.”
Direct quote.
Let’s learn more about Clements. He was married to Carole for 61 years. He had 3 sons, 5 Grandchildren. Nicknamed Jac, he enjoyed travel w/Carole. He worked construction, & helped build I-65.
I didn’t know him. Just wanted you to read more about him than you did his killer.
His Colts Head Coaching tenure may not have met all expectations, but from year 1 (L) to year 6 (R) Chuck Pagano provided inspiration for a lot of people who needed it. Long term, that should not be forgotten.
Last year, when Indianapolis hosted the NCAA tourney, I ran into employees from a hotel that hosted the majority of teams. I asked which was the best team to deal with.
They unanimously spoke of a team whose players were clean, polite, appreciative & accommodating.
Villanova.
Indiana’s Freshmen class, which includes a “5 star” & a Mr. Basketball, got outscored by Purdue’s frosh, (led by a “4 star” & a hockey player) 45-3.
This is why people laugh when candy stripe pants guy tweets recruits & cheers hat dance announcements.
If Chris Ballard thinks the Indy Media is too critical, then the Colts roster is being built by the softest man in the NFL. No wonder they’re in a tail spin.
repeating what I’ve said previously:
Purdue’s roster has 2 Indiana Mister Baketballs, multiple Indiana All-Stars, an int’l big man who has evolved, & 63% are in state.
Purdue is built like Bob Knight’s Indiana.
After 8.5 years our numbers were finally called as part of a major corporate layoff.
On behalf of
@Schultz975
, thanks to all who supported our show.
I have enjoyed giving voice in Indianapolis to those who may otherwise not be heard.
And I’m still bummed Clemson lost.
Jimmy Carter has had the longest post Presidency in US history, and longest life of any President.
No historian will list his Presidency as great, but his post Presidential activism and decency are amongst the greatest the office has ever produced.
My Indy 500 helmet had every living winner’s signature but one. Until today. What a thrill to meet 2 time winner Gordon Johncock at his Michigan home. Great conversation and stories!
Every time I go into Village Pantry store 5411 (Broad Ripple) Dominic is hard at work. He works 2 jobs & 76 hours a week to take care of his sons, so he tells me keepin’ busy keeps him awake. If you know anyone at VP corporate, tell ‘em they’re lucky to have Dominic.
After I become Mayor, visitors of Indianapolis will be able to enjoy the NCAA tourney while strolling through the Union Station sports book & casino. Revenue will be split between IPS & an advanced mass transit light rail project.
Oh- scooters are all going into White River.
When he performed my heart procedure, Dr. Maatman told me I talked the whole time.
So, I told him “You should see how much I talk at while doing my job.”
I’m thrilled to have him as my spotter for the 105th Indianapolis 500.
A brilliant broadcaster, loyal friend, selflessly humble co-worker & irreplaceable part of motorsports.
I’ll repeat: Most people’s lives are enriched by the Indy 500.
The Indy 500 was enriched by Bob Jenkins. So, too, have been I. Godspeed to a dear, dear man.
3 years ago, I met Michael (far left) when I overheard his accent at a
@Pacers
game. He said he flew in from Australia just to see the Pacers.I asked “You want a tour guide? I’ll show you
@IMS
”
He’s back. This time , with his 6 best mates to see Greastest Spectacle in Racing.
One year ago today, one hour from now, I walked into Blind Owl Brewery & suffered a massive heart attack.
@MacEngelProf
drove me to
@CHNw
where
@BenjaminMaatman
saved my life. To mark the anniversary, Dr. Maatman & I ran the 5.4 mile path Mac had driven me. I would like to
Jeffrey Monroe of Avon, Indiana. He was killed while assisting Edwin Jackson. Per
@EmilyWTHR
, he was an Uber driver to make money to take his wife to the Olympics.
May he also be remembered.
Sorry for a 3 tweet post:
After quite the odyssey, I’m thrilled to be back to a full time gig.
Starting Monday, I’ll be co hosting the appropriately alphabetically alliterated “Kevin & Query” morning show, w/
@KBowen1070
on
@1075thefan
. Daily, 7-10 AM.
I’m very grateful.👇
I’ve been fairly criticized in the past for occasional critique of the Colts, so this is 1st class. My heart may have had an issue, but the size of
@JimIrsay
‘s has never been questioned.
It’s difficult for someone with the racing pedigree of
@John_Andretti
to be remembered first for things away from the track.
But, his legacy will be his kind spirit, warm smile, & tireless work in raising millions for
@RileyChildrens
hospital.
God speed to an Indy treasure.
I love that Matt Painter simultaneously looked relieved…yet focused on a still incomplete mission.
What a great coach, team, and program. Purdue fans & alumni deserve every spoil of the coming week.
In between their 2016 & 2018 title game appearances, Villanova has only lost 8 games, and only one school has defeated them more than once.
Butler. Three times.
True story:
Hall of Fame coach Gene Keady is joining our show Monday at 2:30 PM Indy time. Would have been earlier,
BUT HE HAS AN APPOINTMENT TO SHAVE A “P” IN HIS HAIR.
I know Colts fans are fatigued by commentator love for Mahomes.
Imagine how fans of every other team felt watching the Colts in the Peyton Manning era.
I love the Star. I get that stories outsourced out of market is corporate America.
But, when it’s the passing of ANY person- let alone a beloved figure; To mistake the age- AND RUN A PHOTO OF A FORMER STAFF MEMBER IMPERSONATING the deceased is 100% inexcusable.
INEXCUSABLE.
God speed to Gil de Ferran, one of the most understated gentlemen in IndyCar history. One of 5 French born winners of the Indy 500, his 2000 California qualifying lap (241.428 MPH) is the fastest qualifying lap in history. A true giant and ambassador in motorsports.
While totally understanding the story line, I feel bad for Purdue & its fans. They just turned in perhaps their best road performance of the season, and deserve to have had it mentioned with the same regularity as the broadcast’s trip down memory lane.
A few weeks ago, I asked Jeff Saturday if he could offer a few words to my HS alma mater’s winless football team. 2 mins later, he sent this.
I have no idea how good and X/Os coach he will be, but clearly he knows how to lead.
Maravich got one less season, & no 3 pt line, but Clark has taken 600 fewer shots.
Clark loses 503 points without 3 pt line.
But if she got an extra 600 shots at her 46.6% clip, all as 2’s, she’d have an additional 560 points.
It’s not as lopsided as her detractors say.
Drivers to have won a Formula One World Championship prior to being entered in, but failing qualify, for an Indianapolis 500:
Juan Manuel Fangio
Giuseppe Farina
Graham Hill
Denny Hulme
Nelson Piquet
Emerson Fittipaldi
Fernando Alonso
I’m all for love of/celebration of our great country.
If you’re doing THIS multiple hours, for a week straight in a subdivision backyard, you’re a prick.
A cool personal firework show to celebrate the 4th? No problem.
June 30- July 6, 9PM -midnight? Get a clue.
I’d never before been to Morgantown, West Virginia. Stayed there last night. Gorgeous town, cool vibe, and nice people.
The
@WestVirginiaU
campus is also really nice.
