@VSiNLive
... here is the story in its entirety from 2018.
It's either the best story you've ever heard/need to hear it again, or the best story you'll hear for the 1st time.
You only get one dad. I happened to be very lucky. My mom, two brothers and I lost a great man today. This is John Moss and me in Alaska in 2006. 💔 RIP Dad. Love you. Thank you.
We had to say goodbye to our boy Dexter today. He gave
@LorraineChef
and me 14 of the best years any 🐶 parent could ever ask for. We loved you so much buddy. We will miss you more than I can put into words. 💔😢 RIP Dexy
I’m sharing this very personal photo from a few hours before Dexter was put down for other dog owners. You’ll hear “when you know, you know” a LOT. But what does that mean?
The water was cold, and Dexter didn’t know he was in the pool with me. He hated lukewarm baths. I knew.
I know this is asking for mission impossible. Try to live by one simple rule tonight and beyond. Regardless of who wins the United States presidential election ...
Don’t be an asshole.
The Bears get completely bailed out by one of the worst penalties I’ve ever seen. The flag on Chubb was nothing short of shameful. The NFL should be embarrassed by their own referees.
Flight has landed in Phoenix.
I’m in row 26.
Guy (several rows behind me) couldn’t possibly wait to grab his bags (stored above row 24) rushed up to grab it and is now standing two feet in front of me. Has been for 5 minutes now.
He’s a Purdue fan. I now want them to lose.
Guys at the table next to me are discussing a scenario for the Buckeyes and Oral Roberts to go to overtime so Ohio State can cover -16. They’re also about 9 buckets of beer in and laughing about it.
Nothing like the madness in Vegas.
Doesn’t even feel like a true championship was decided. What a shameful way for an incredible game to finish. Now I’m glad the football season is over.
The real Chef Moss checking in here. Not the fugazi one I’m married to (

Here’s how I’ve buttered a pop-tart and eaten it since I was a kid 👇.

I forced myself to go to the ER for the first time in my life (non COVID-19). I can assure you the horror stories pertaining to kidney stones are all true. And then some. The debilitating pain is something you have to experience to believe. I wouldn’t wish this on anybody.
Rich Strike wasn’t in the field until Friday, stared down the leaders, chased them down, won, then bit everything in sight.
Like the guy who can’t talk from being so drunk at 3am, showing up to the softball field for an 8am first pitch to crack some cold ones & hit 3 dingers.
John Madden stopped coaching in 1978.
He called his last NFL game on TV in February of 2009.
His legacy will live forever because of an iconic video game.
Never say never, but we'll never see anyone like him again.
I'll say this about Tom Brady - if any player in our lifetime deserved a farewell tour, it was him.
The fact that it didn't matter makes me respect him ever more.
I listened to Rage Against The Machine while driving to the sportsbook this morning. Am I wrong or is that band getting vastly lost in rock history? They were extraordinary.
Terrific games so far today. There is no reason not to have 7 or 8 Bowl games on New Year’s Day. This should be one of the best sports days of the entire year.
After 14 months of battling cancer like a true fighter, my great friend of 30 years,
@davecokin
, the “man under the hat, passed away peacefully around 4 am PT today. He lived life his way until the very end. RIP GOAT! You’ll be sorely missed by many.
Notre Dame is the ultimate example of living in the past. They keep getting chances because of their name. Haven’t been on the same level of national powers in basically 30 years. What a system.
The only thing that would make this experience better would be if the late great Brian Blessing was still alive to see it.
He told everybody hockey would be huge in Vegas years before the city got the Knights.
You know he’s looking down w/a smile the size of the Strat.
Pauly demands the staff close Mitch's mic after a stunning statement about

I first visited Las Vegas when I was 21 years old. Stayed for 12 days. Before leaving for the airport I told my friends I knew I had to live here. Moved in 2001.
If I’m 21 today and watching the draft live from Vegas on tv, I’d be telling myself the same exact thing.
3rd hour:

and I adopted a baby boy last week. What a wild ride.

@WesReynolds1
joined to talk US Open. Advice for betting Scheffler, what score can win (?), and his best bets.
Congrats to the best horse racing handicapper I personally know. Grew up going to the track with her grandpa. Used to hide money from her parents because of it. Had Medina Spirit at 16/1. None other than

Stoked for this game. Big fan of the IST courts. Love the way this pops in Vegas. Had to play some u257.5 and alt u250.5. So 145-142 final?

Everybody will take the easy path and blast BYU all week. Maybe give them credit for taking a game on a couple days notice, travel across the country, and lose at the gun to a team ranked in the top 20. It’s possible Coastal is pretty decent this year.
Quarantine day who gives AF.
I told
@LorraineChef
that I can’t wait for us to start watching S3 of
#Ozark
tonight. She responded with “hey shithead, I’ve never watched one episode of the show.”
Things are going well.
All 3 statements can be true.
1) Tampa Bay played an incredible 1H.
2) KC played their worst 30 minutes since Mahomes took over as the starter.
3) the refs have been a total joke
Time for Rodgers to say adios. Lafleur will be totally exposed and GB will hover between 3-8 wins for the next 30 years. They’ve had Favre and Rodgers since 1991. Nobody outside of Wisconsin will be upset.
Could be the NyQuil talking.
Baseball Twitter is quickly becoming more mutable than political twitter. It’s impossible to care less than I do right now about the sport formerly known as America’s Pasttime.
Dogs are always an adventure. I watched Frankie eat a bee last night (happened so fast) and he had a major allergic reaction within 15-20 minutes. You name it, and he went through it. The lad is doing much better this morning after a quick trip to the vet. Careful out there.
Dan Campbell should be eliminated from the Coach of the Year discussion after today.
Unless, of course, you’re
@paulyhoward
and others remaining in

Survivor. Then he’s the best Coach of all time.
I can hear my dad right now.
“You watching this shit (Minnesota/NW)? They couldn’t beat Fall Creek tonight ... (tailing off) Oooooh my achin’ ass.”
Miss him every day. This was his favorite time of the year.
JFC. My heart rate monitor shattered into a thousand pieces. I can’t imagine my partner. Zero point in trying to sleep. The show should be a real hoot in the morning.
Showed my pic (2001?) with Carmen on FTM this morning
@VSiNLive
. I never knew what she meant by “can you show me around UNLV’s practice facility” until this week.
I watched Princeton nearly shock the world against Georgetown with my dad in 1989. Would’ve been a 16 over a 1. We watched from a hotel room in Tennessee. I’ll never forget it. He has a smile on his face upstairs today.
