Re: that Trump tweet. That angers me beyond belief. I don’t want my future kids growing up in a world where two Black men, accomplished in their field, are called dumb because they disagree with your views. LeBron should be commended this week for his actions, not insulted.
I remember how amazing my final months were at Ohio University. It hurts me to think the seniors in Athens won't get anything close to that experience. Just another terrible victim of this Coronavirus pandemic.
With all that said, let’s leave the players alone on social media. Nothing worse than on your worse day coming back to people just bashing you. Show some compassion and grace today Buckeye Nation. It’s still only a game ultimately.
Hope every Buckeye fan who is sad, angry, upset or furious about this loss puts it all in perspective. There’s more to life than college football.

How about this. Matt Ludwig, the alternate in men’s pole vault for Team USA, is at Cleveland Hopkins airport trying to make it to Tokyo ASAP after Sam Kendricks tested positive for COVID-19. The competition begins on Saturday morning! (Pic courtesy of

LA County Sheriff says 9 people were on the manifest of the helicopter crash that involved Kobe Bryant. That is new information. Sheriff says the belief is that 9 bodies are at the scene.
Very kind of

@hodakotb
to snap a pic with me as my birthday winds down here in Tokyo. What a wild and crazy day this has been! 35, let’s get after it!
Wouldn’t it be nice if for one day, we could put aside our political differences and just remember those lost and the heroes of September 11th? Let’s try that today.

A sad day for not us at NBC4, but all who knew, watched, or met Mike. What an amazing man, friend and journalist. I’m at peace knowing he’s no longer in pain.
So I’m in Copenhagen, Denmark. Walk into this place called TapHouse. Ask the bartender what his favorite IPA is. He says 17. Of course he does.

: Columbus City Schools will begin the school year completely virtual for K-12. This will happen through at least the first quarter, which ends Oct. 27th
Hey all, really don't need the Twitter mentions in my feed to be debating whether or not Simone Biles is "soft", "choked" on "quit on her team". She didn't. Let's spend less time arguing about on social media and instead, just spread some positivity on this medium.
Officially back in Columbus. And extremely happy to be home. Covering these Olympics was a grind, but also incredibly rewarding. Looking forward to some rest and relaxation. What a ride!
Just hearing the news that Chris Bradley has died. A wonderful guy taken way too soon. My heart sinks for his young family. I am praying for them. I am praying his friends, family and co-workers at

: CPD confirms OSU senior defensive lineman Haskell Garrett was injured in a shooting on Chittenden Ave. at 12:30am. He is in stable condition and is expected to recover.
Chris Holtmann is such a great guy. He and Lori were such great representatives for Ohio State and did amazing work throughout Central Ohio. Ultimately, it is a results business so I'm not surprised by today, but it's too bad.
Just spent 3 hours downtown. First time I’ve been there since protests began. And the last hour was for a prayer for Black Men, organized by African-American Male Wellness Initiative. Needless to say, I feel more empowered than ever.
Another great day to be a Bobcat. Jason Preston gets drafted. And I get a pic with Michael Burns, the tour guide that helped convince me that

was the school for me. He’s working with the Today Show here. 17 years later, we are covering

BREAKING: Gov. DeWine announces the Arnold Classic will happen, but the expo has been cancelled. Most of the events will be crowd-free, besides the Arnold Classic final. This is due to coronavirus concerns.
I would encourage all of you who will get carryout from restaurants to increase that tip for the time being if you can. This order will really hurt workers and small businesses.
Word of advice to all the Central Ohio teenagers out there: grab a shovel and start helping out your neighbors, especially your elderly ones. Good exercise, great service to them and who know, you may get paid as well!
Congratulations to the

graduates that today also become

Really proud of this
@OhioMBasketball
team. Always proud to be a Bobcat. Thanks for giving us another March memory! Looking forward to next season already.
Report from Boston bathroom line. They think Tortorella has them figured out. Boston scored a garbage second goal. Just hoping to steal this game cause they think they are being outplayed now. Also, they accents are SOOOOOO good.
Great night to be a Bobcat. Ohio with a HUGE 69-63 road win at Akron. Marks Sears is a BAD man. And Jeff Boals gets career coaching win 100. Bobcats now 11-2 (2-0) this season.
It’s cool going to sleep tonight knowing my alma mater
@ohiou
will be represented in March Madness again. Can’t wait to see who their next victim is!
#OUOhYeah
Not going to school today? Congrats. But before you go skiing or sledding, head to your neighbors who can't shovel their sidewalks and driveways and do it for them.

I still remember, as a freshman, telling Frank Solich at his introductory press conference to get us to a bowl game before I graduate. He not only did that, but made the program relevant for more than a decade-plus! Hope they retire his name in Peden Stadium. Well deserved!
Wow. What an honor. This is less about me though and more about Jaylin and his amazing family. So fortunate to have him in my life. Hope you’ll consider getting involved with
@BBBSCentralOH
and making a difference.
OHIO OLYMPIANS: Matt Ludwig has made it to Tokyo! And now in less than 12 hours, the former Akron Zip and Chardon native will compete in the men’s pole vault. Unreal story.
Hope everyone has seen this moment. This is what covering this pandemic can do to a person. It wear you down. I feel it everyday. And sometimes, you just need to let it out. God Bless
@hodakotb
for just letting it out.
It’s starting to settle in now. To all of you who rallied to save the Crew. To all you never stopped fighting to keep this team here. To all who didn’t stop believing despite enormous odds.
You did it. You
