Just saw the news about Mort and an incredible, profound sadness overcame me. He was a decades long friend and someone for whom I had total admiration as a professional and love and respect as a wonderful person. My deepest condolences to Micki and Alex and so many he impacted.
As one of only 3 women in the
@ProFootballHOF
I'm sickened by the insulting mockery being made of sideline reporting, a challenging role primarily manned by women - most of whom understand & respect the values of journalism and are integral, trusted members of a broadcast team.
From sleeping on

it’s been quite a journey (& I’m not done yet)! Unlike my fellow enshrinees, I didn’t play the game, instead I told their stories. Little girls in babydoll pajamas can become HOFers.

OC Greg Roman about protecting Lamar Jackson: "Mobile quarterbacks are so much safer when they're out in space 'driving the car' as opposed to standing in the pocket, hoping that nothing surprises them. Lamar does a really good job being safe."

Shocked. Palcic is the consummate professional & always a pleasure to deal with. She respects our jobs and what we need while never compromising the objectives of her team. The NFL is better with her in it.....
Texans fired VP of Communications Amy Palcic, telling her she no longer was "a cultural fit", per sources. Palcic was the first and only woman to have full PR responsibilities for an NFL team. She was the winner of the 2017 Rozelle Award for best PR staff. She is widely respected
A note on the sideline reporting discussions & quality of information. When done correctly, to bring details to the home viewer, it is a value add to a broadcast. Here

Deepest condolences to the family of Phyllis George who died way too early at age 70. She paved the way for people like me and fought off prejudice with hard work and grace. She was way more than a “pretty face!”. RIP.
We go WAY back
@mortreport
and my admiration for you has only grown over the decades through life trials and tribulations. The constant has been your professionalism and kindness. You better not stop talking ball!!!! Proud of you for making this decision!
Excited about another season but it’s time to reveal after my 33rd NFL draft in April, I made a decision to step away from ESPN and focus on my health, family and faith.
The gratitude and humility is overwhelming.
It’s not a classic retirement. I’ll still be here talking ball.
More sad news...1st David Stern, now Sam Wyche. Coach was so kind and supportive early in my career when there were very few women covering the NFL. Condolences to families and friends.
How do you not love the great

I talked to Washington team president Bruce Allen about the Gruden firing. "We HAD to fire Jay," he said. "The team wasn't responding." As for the permanent replacement? "Let's just say we've heard from every agent. They found our phone number."

Mike Mayock told me that by Week 1, Antonio Brown had missed so many practices that "We weren’t used to having him in the huddle. Everyone had grown into their roles. As talented as he was, we made decision that the building had to come first."

so catching up. 1st & foremost, devastated to hear of the tragic passing of longtime friend & colleague John Clayton. Kind, generous, hard working & devoted to his beloved Patricia. Deepest condolences to all who mourn him
My deepest condolences on the passing of Don Shula. Growing up, I was the biggest Dolfan & Coach sent me this after I wrote in 1972 when Bob Griese broke his leg. As a professional I worked w/ him & got to know him well, even naming my dog Zonk, just like he did. RIP Coach.
Make no mistake...

team for your most kind words! You know I’m big admirers of the show & supporters of you ALL so your thoughts are especially meaningful!!
Doesn’t matter where or if you’re drafted; what matters is what you make of the opportunity once you’re in the league. Ask Tom Brady, Kurt Warner, Brock Purdy.
Congrats to Ms Raiche and thank goodness this ceiling continues to crack. But all women in football owe a huge debt to the first female CEO, the true groundbreaker
@AmyTrask
#Eagles
promoted Catherine Raiche to VP of Football Ops, the new highest ranking female in personnel in NFL history. The 32-year-old ex-assistant GM for the
@MTLAlouettes
takes over a role that Andrew Berry held at 32 before becoming the
#Browns
GM. Another glass ceiling broken.
Consider this about
@TomBrady
: He's started 40 postseason games. That's a full 2.5 regular seasons' worth of playoff starts. He's already played 18 full seasons, but with the playoff mileage, it's more like 20+.
