The work Marly & I did together at ESPN is some of what I'm proudest of from my 10 years there. She has had to fight for every inch of her career. The apology was merited, but coverage everywhere of baseball is immensely poorer without her on the beat.
Quote Tweet
I know Marly well, she’s a good friend and over the years has had to stand up for herself far more than any non-Latina reporter, which doesn’t always make you popular. She’s apologized for inappropriate language - but she’s been good at her job because she is tough & aggressive. twitter.com/AndrewMarchand…

Erxleben kicked a 67-yard FG (off a tee) in college, but in the NFL he mostly wound up punting; he had half as many completed passes as FGs made on his pro career. In 1982 he had as many TD passes as Saints backup QB Guido Merkens.
That's the Russell Erxleben highlight reel.

Rep. Zephyr is a Montana state legislator and transgender person who has been silenced by the GOP-controlled state house for speaking out against anti-transgender legislation.

The Montana GOP is refusing to let me speak for the rest of the legislative session.
I was elected to represent my 11,000 constituents. No silencing tactics will deter me from advocating for my community, my district, and all Montanans.
My light is on and I am ready to speak.

My great-grandfather's team was the NY Giants; he lived in Peekskill, was close to Bill Terry, never stopped thinking of Mel Ott as his favorite player. When the Giants left, he stopped following MLB; as he said, his team had left him.
I know how that feels now more than ever.

Remember GP2, flying around the court in last year's playoffs, disrupting on D & finishing possessions?So you can see why 's argument is pretty compelling.
Life and lived experience isn't something you apologize for. I love that was ready to tap into his history with Steve Kerr to share what he's been feeling -- and what many have felt -- about this Warriors season.

Buckets will be in abundance in Warriors vs. Kings series, so transition defense could be all the difference.
“I know Mike Brown is probably cussing them out to get back on defense, so that’s probably one of their keys as well.”
