July 20, 2001: Adam Dunn debuts with the Reds. He would slug 270 HR in 8 seasons with Cincinnati, 5th on the club's all-time list. His .380 OBP is 4th-best in franchise history (min. 500 games), behind just Frank Robinson (.389), Joe Morgan (.415) & Joey Votto (.417).

Tonight, my father
@kenbroo
has his final broadcast as an on-air TV personality for
@WCPO
.
Growing up the son of a media personality was awesome — I got to see my father on TV every night.
His job also allowed me to tag along to sporting events, follow along to interviews...
The only thing “unprofessional” today in sports media was the immediate rush to sic the Twitter mob on Paul Daugherty for asking a fair question in a normal tone of voice at a press conference.
Hey — Republican here. Talking to my fellow Republicans:
Stop talking about video games.
Seriously. Stop.
You sound dumb.
I know a dozen people in my own office who own an Xbox or PS4. All attorneys. All (mostly) normal people.
…repay that, but I can say that I’m forever greatful to have had the opportunity.
So, one last time tonight — break a leg,
@kenbroo
.
Signed,
A proud son.
You know why baseball rules?
Because when kids look back in future years, they’ll see that their favorite
@reds
player (Elly De La Cruz) shared the lineup with their dad’s favorite
@reds
player growing up (Joey Votto).
It’s gonna be fun watching the temporary euphoria of “MARVIN IS GONE!!” slowly be replaced by the horror of realization that Mike Brown is hiring the replacement.

Went from Vikings to Musbrooms to Saving Football. Officially the greatest recurring segment in podcast history.

If you told me on 10/6/16 that, five years from today, FCC will be an historically terrible team in

This sucks, but it’s still amazing that we can complain at all.
REST OF AMERICA: "Soda is absolutely awful for you. Even diet soda has been scientifically linked to increased risk of obesity. We're being responsible and cutting back or cutting it out entirely."
CINCINNATI: "CALL A PRESS CONFERENCE! FRISCH'S IS BRINGING BACK COKE PRODUCTS!!!"
Two Hyde Park residents are standing up and asking how an Oakley
@fccincinnati
will impact them — literally the Eagleton residents showing up at a Pawnee meeting.
The
@Reds
don’t care about you.
They don’t care about winning.
They don’t care about putting a good product on the field.
They’re the Pittsburgh Pirates wearing fancier colors.
It’s pretty sad how much goodwill that
@fccincinnati
has squandered over these last few years.
The people that believed in and evangelized for this sport / team deserve better.

It won’t happen, but the

This ownership group isn’t worth the city fawning all over for them, even for one afternoon.
Judge Norbert Nadel was an absolute legend in every sense of the word.
They’ll be telling stories about him around the courthouse for decades, and I’m honored I had the chance to practice in front of him.
Rest In Peace, Judge.
Four states that border Ohio now allow sports wagering.
Legit, as a voter and a constituent, I’d like to know why the hell this is taking so long and when we can expect action. This is absurd that we’re being left behind by our peers here.

I’m a
@CityOfCincy
resident.
I’m over 18.
I can file a signed affidavit stating that I’ve never taken a cash payment in exchange for a vote on anything.
Does this officially make me a candidate for City Council now?
Just walked by a dude at Coffee Emporium in HP and heard him ask “Think I’m gonna hit a home run today?” while on the phone walking back to his car.
Assumed it was an Oakley softball bro.
Nope. Definitely Jesse Winker.
(Hope the answer was 👍)
The
@Reds
should be MLB trendsetters and commit to honoring one random former middle reliever or utility player every year.
Who wouldn't want to get bobbleheads for guys like:
* Rey Olmedo
* Scott Sullivan
* Juan Castro
* Jon Coutlangus
* Gookie Dawkins
Make it happen, Bob!
There is a young boy hippo from the San Antonio zoo hitting on Fiona and I’m feeling a little protective. Can I meet this hippo before It goes any further? What other hippos is he hanging around? Is he involved in extracurricular activities? Play any sports? What’s his gpa?

@wychstreet
Having said that, this account made me learn more about the real President Nixon and love the mess of contradictions and complex person who served as leader of this country before I was born.
So, thank you for that, sir.
Tonight was a huge win for
@fccincinnati
supporters culture.
The role of SGs is to be a voice of the fans and hold the club accountable for being good stewards of the badge.
Proud to have been a part of doing that tonight.
It’s interesting to watch the
@fccincinnati
stadium debate in Oakley & West End.
What is not being talked about is how, in both cases, the “negatives” of a stadium are actually likely outcomes for both neighborhoods even if the stadium ends up going elsewhere. 1/
I don’t even know how you hate Tom Brady.
He defies categorization or description.
Even labeling him as a “Hall of Famer” insults his talent and legacy by putting him in the company of grossly inferior players.
My words, from the account I occasionally ghost write for.
This sucks. Anyone around from the beginning of the FCC scene knows what a huge influence
@wrongsideofpond
had on the success of this club.
Letting him go feels like a massive unforced error and just wrong.
Blindsided by this news.
D.J. Switzer was a passionate voice on behalf of supporters at
@fccincinnati
and a person who worked tirelessly to maintain a positive relationship between SGs and club.
We’re incredibly disappointed that FCC leadership would choose to let him go.
Chris Seelbach reflexively opposing every single thing FCC tries to do is the best rivalry going.
Up there with anything the WWE has put on TV in years.
FCC has applied for a demolition permit for one of the most significant religious structures in our City’s history, currently called Revelation Baptist Church.
I'm trying to save it.
Yesterday, I applied to give the church historic designation status.
A take I’ve been squatting on for a while — “Kill the King” is one of the most underrated songs ever (un?) released by the Dave Matthews Band.
@SLessard
The first song off Guster’s new album (“Look Alive”) sounds like a lost track from an imaginary “Mass Effect 3: Music From & Inspired by the Game.”
Probably something that would play over the end credits.
I mean that as a compliment.
This is also your nightly reminder that
@GovMikeDeWine
is giving an absolute clinic on leadership right now.
Trust people smarter than you about things. Listen to experts. Make common sense decisions after gathering all the facts.
My love language is watching every Marquette defender slap the floor and then, seconds later, get hit with a three ball from Souley Boum directly in their collective faces.
I know people wanna be sad about Puig — I get it, I’m sad too.
But let’s talk about my man Amir Garrett, who went full Stone-Cold-Rushes-The-Ring and tried to fight the ENTIRE PIRATES ROSTER tonight.
He’s still with us on the Reds. And that’s awesome.
Counterpoint — it’s illegal to play pass defense in the modern NFL by design.
They want these games to be shootouts, we want these games to be shootouts.
Why are we stuck with a 1980s overtime rule?
If football is about 11 vs. 11, let’s stop this change the overtime rules talk. Last time I checked, defense counts in this game too. Stop somebody. The game isn’t decided by a coin flip. So stupid.
You’ll still be allowed to vote in June, and lives were probably saved by not forcing infected people to show up and vote.
Stop whining. Nobody’s rights were violated today.
Ken Broo was a staple of TV sports news for years in Cincinnati, but he's been loving life since retiring from television 8 months ago.
@slrussell
caught up with Broo to talk sports, dream interviews, music, love and loss and much more.
The Reds have figured out that you can't win, long term, churning prospects and trying to build a "sustainable" future.
You win by picking your year and just mashing the accelerator to the floor.
