My entire feed is people telling wonderful stories about my friend, John Clayton.
NFL players, teams, national media and seemingly everyone in the Northwest. All stories of his kindness.
It is making me smile through my tears tonight.
After watching the Seahawks a little this preseason and crunching the numbers, I have determined that Russell Wilson deserves a deal of about $175 million per season. Give or take
After 25 incredible years, my run with ESPN has come to an end. Having worked at ESPN Digital Media for more than half of my life, I can say, without question, that it was the thrill of a lifetime. 1/4
My emotions as Earl Thomas officially leaves Seattle:
80 percent: Sadness to see a generational talent leave the Hawks.
20 percent: Elation that he didn’t go to the Cowboys or Niners.
I am thrilled to take on this role and join the great team at FOX Sports. We are ready to build an essential digital offering for the modern sports fan.
Today we hugged Chris for the last time and said goodbye as he went to give four people the gift of life by donating his kidneys, liver and lungs. We are deeply broken and deeply proud. In life and in death, Chris never stopped giving. We walk forward with his light guiding us.

Reports say Seattle is asking for Wrigley Field and the MJ statue. Both sides have agreed on Wrigley, but are haggling over the statue. Situation is fluid.
The Mariners are headed to New York City fitted in Run-DMC tracksuits and a message from Rev Run himself.
“Keep reppin. Keep rockin. Keep rollin. Y’all are on fire.”

The call still sparks chills: "Go, go, USA!"

From the NFL beat to Page 2 to "E-ticket" to ESPN Local and ESPN International, the opportunities I had in both Bristol and Seattle kept me energized. There was always a new team to assemble and a new product to build. Now, I'm ready to take that energy on to a new chapter. 4/4

When I started as part of the team to launch ESPNET SportsZone at Starwave in 1995, I never dreamed ESPN would take me all around the world and allow me to work with nearly every segment of the company. 3/4
The Leon Lett Game. The Clint Longley Game. The Randy Moss Game. The Game When Richard Sherman Ate Turkey on the 49ers Logo.
And now the Shawn Hochuli Game. All the greats rise to the occasion on Thanksgiving.
There is a reason I never really looked to leave ESPN, and that is because of the many incredible teammates, trusted colleagues and good friends that I've had the pleasure to work with over the years. I thank all of you. 2/4

Typical Booth bias. Western has NOT lost a game in 13 years — yet no respect.

Hitting a ball into McCovey Cove in San Francisco or the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh is cool…but how far do you need to launch a dinger to achieve a splash hit in the 28 other MLB ballparks?
AN IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION:
@espnWD
Wayne, you know how I feel. You're one of the best storytellers I've ever worked with in my three decades in the business, and I've got three Emmys in my front room because of your passion, reporting and hard work. I know today stings, but you're just getting started.
The Professor was a walking almanac of NFL history, one of the hardest-working journalists I've ever met, and a terrific friend.
His devotion and love for Pat are models for us all.
Simply heartbroken by this news.
Rest easy, JC.
One of my favorite New Year’s Day traditions is the moment in the second half of the Rose Bowl when the sun starts to set over the San Gabriel Mountains. If you have seen it is in person, it is just a sea of gorgeous color.
Definitely will be missing that today.
