Excellent decision. Yes, I am defending my profession but play-by-play and hosting skills add to a broadcast as was very evident during these Players Only experiments
The Patriots have released WR Antonio Brown, per team spokesman.
“The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown. We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time.”
SLAM DIEGO! I grew up a Mets fan, but maybe it's living in California for 35 years or some of the personalities on this year's team, but for some reason I'm pulling for the Padres
26 March 1905 | Viktor Frankl, an Austrian Jew, neurologist & psychiatrist, was born in Vienna. A founder of psychological humanism. He went through Theresienstadt Ghetto & Auschwitz, Kauering and Türkheim camps. He survived. Author of the book „Man’s search for meaning".
I realize social media is all consuming for many folks making an appreciaton of history irrelevant for them, but how are some people just discovering the greatness of "Party All the Time" now? Be sure to also check out Don Johnson belting out "Heartbeat" later today
The 7 Chargers fans in LA will claim a moral victory. The stadium was filled with Chiefs fans, the amateur radio broadcast is on a unknown station, & the Spanos Family has no money not connected to the team. Other than that..
Rivers had a good group of receivers & running backs, but limited the offense with his slew of INTs this year. Rivers is also not a Hall of Famer. Largely empty stats in a passing era, losing playoff record, and never even made it to the Super Bowl
Josh McDaniels should be working as a magician at one of those dumpy Vegas lounges for convincing Mark Davis that Derek Carr was the primary problem with the Raiders
I've been flying for decades by just witnessed personal history: someone gave up their seat in an Exit Row because they refused to help other passengers in the event of an emergency. Have to admire the incredible level of apathy behind that decision
The periodic delays of the relays of "Tenet" have paralleled the same cycle of guarded optimism followed by the acceptance of reality we've all been going through
Like everyone else in LA I'm from someplace else. But since I've lived in California since 87 & this town for 18 years, I can confidently say of the 8 pro teams here the Chargers are a solid

The Clippers could trade for Kyrie, get Michael Jordan to come out of retirement, and add the ghost of Wilt Chamberlain and still nobody in LA would care about the team
After many years of trite sports observations, I have achieved a career milestone of being retweeted by
@OldTakesExposed
. My sincere thanks to the
@Raiders
for playing such as boring 1st Quarter
I understand the long standing stadium issues along with the asset appreciation of the team's move, but the Chargers should never have left San Diego. The road crowd takes over their stadium, their radio broadcast is often incoherent, and most of LA is thoroughly apathetic
Since my birthday is Nov 7, 1969 I am rapidly approaching the
@BrimleyLine
. I'm not on the same level as
@McConaughey
so I don't think my milestone will be commemorated. But I've got something even better: the immortal
@RealWilfordB
follows me on Twitter
"I get older, they stay the same age." Born Nov. 4, 1969, Matthew McConaughey is 18,530 days old today, matching Wilford Brimley's age on the day 'Cocoon' was released. Congrats
@McConaughey
! You've reached the Brimley/Cocoon Line.
Sincere thanks as always to the Hall of Famer
@jimrome
for allowing me to pinch hit in the final hour of today's program. Greatly appreciate every single opportunity to play a small role in The Jungle
Yes, I'm biased as a Trojan Alum but the objective facts say
@USC_Baseball
deserve a postseason berth--especially after what happened last year when they got a raw deal from the Selection Committee
RPI be damned, the case for the Trojans is strong ✌️
All this, while shifting between 3 “home” sites, having no on campus practice field and staying in hotels every weekend. If the committee wants one of the hottest and most resilient squads in the country, look no further.
It's always puzzling why fans who work incredibly hard to pay for team merchandise & tickets blindly defend billionaire ownership who inherited a franchise and have never worked a day in their privileged lives
I've stated Bob Costas & the late great
@TheGeneOkerlund
are the primary reasons I wanted to become a sportscaster. I was also watching WTBS every Sat at 6:05 ET. To listen to
@tonyschiavone24
journey in partnership with
@HeyHeyItsConrad
every step of the way has been stellar
A Network owned by a massive conglomerate going after a popular content creator accusing him of having an agenda because he landed a "second screen" broadcast gig is so petty. These niche networks are so poorly run even when operated by larger corporations
@NoLayingUp
Important context:
- ESPN had exclusive coverage and was scheduled to come on before 8 a.m. ET
- GOLF Channel cannot come on live once play is underway
- NLU is working for ESPN this week as remote broadcasters
You don't have to go to Paris to see the Mona Lisa.
@TheGeneOkerlund
is the greatest stick man in the history of Wrestling & one of the reasons I wanted to become a broadcaster
#kayfabe
Gagne would retire from wrestling while still champion, and in May 1981, much to the anger and dissatisfaction of AWA fans, Nick was awarded the title back. The title switch solidified Bockwinkel as the most hated man in the company.
Thanks to all The Clones for making my latest experience in The Jungle such a blast.

On the rare morning I was unable to list to the entire
@jimrome
Show due to a trip to the dentist, I've been greeted with tweets about my Chick-fil-A debut. I will discuss on the air on Friday, but it should be clear by now the topic of fast food is not one I play around with
I appreciate all of the calls, emails, and tweets today. Thanks for making my latest visit to The Jungle so enjoyable. The Hall of Famer

Had another blast guest hosting for the great
@jimrome
today. I'm highly appreciative of all of your interest and interaction. Have a great Holiday weekend, and we'll do it again next Friday
For those who thought I was embellishing about being an avid stamp collector in high school, doesn't this look like a guy who got excited about finding old stamps from the 1930s in mint condition?
Like the iconic McRib, I realize my approach to radio is an acquired taste. I had another great day in The Jungle. Thanks to
@jimrome
@Producer_Tom
@GerritRitt

I said I'd take the

@JimRome
Didn't make it to Malibu, but wound up at a spot the great James Caan enjoyed. I had another fabulous experience sitting in for the Hall of Famer
@jimrome
. My sincere thanks for your interaction and your indulgence on some obscure TV references. See you next time in The Jungle
I had an elaborate and detailed Antonio Brown take mapped out on Friday. If only
@ImAdamHawk
was giving the fill-in hosts more than 40% effort, it might have made air
Can you imagine how loud it's going to be when Seattle gets a new edition of the Sonics after all these years? It's long over due for the NBA the correct one of the biggest mistakes in sports history
Since it's Game One of the World Series, a reminder that MLB decided to minimize its greatest cheating scandal since the 1919 Black Sox. The obvious solution would have been to vacate the Astros World Series win. Instead, cheating was rewarded
Appreciate all of the interaction in The Jungle today filling in for

@CBSSportsRadio

In advance of my return to The Jungle on Friday, through sheer coincidence sampled Chick-Fil-A for the first time in my life tonight. One of the rare fast food products that actually lived up to the hype
Thrilled to be sitting in for the great

I wasn't a great student in high school or college Physics so I have no understanding of how the massive retractable roof at Ashe Stadium works, but it's been a tremendous addition to the

For those of us who hold the microphone like a grudge with a tight grip, Jason Garrett's loose finger extension caressing the mike is deeply unsettling

With things reopened, can we all agree to carry some cash? If we meet up for a few beers, I'm not interested in you Venmo-ing me your half of the bill or offering to pay in dogecoin
#straightcashhomie
Relationships can end for a variety of reasons. I contend it's more than acceptable to break up with someone simply because they have never seen a single episode of The Office and have no interest in watching the show
I already preparing if I am fortunate enough to guest host for the Hall of Famer
@jimrome
in the coming weeks. Just wanted to assist my
#JTP
friends in coming up with new fast food that don't include my well-documented love of the McRib
Even with a hack fill-in host like yours truly sitting in for
@jimrome
today, "Jungle Karma" continues. Pete Alonso was kind enough to join us on the program today...hours later he goes deep
Tonight's Matthew Stafford looks a lot like the Stafford was saw for years in Detroit. Yes, the Lions have been a dumpster fire for decades but Stafford remains a turnover machine
With Pontius Pilate trending, my years of Catholic school education have led to a fascination with biblical names in modern life. I have met two people named Judas, I have known a Jezebel, but have yet to encounter anyone named Pontius
