I signed up for a One Password account almost solely because I was so sick of typing in my Inquirer password
can’t understand why it’s still near impossible to stay logged in on the @PhillyInquirer website after all these years
A great friend, and often savior, to our group of "Minions" taking high school scores. RIP, Moose

I, for one, have always been a huge LeBron fan. Any negative comments attributed to me in the past are lies by the fake news media. youtu.be/P5xjR-M3BsY?si=UVX0…
Some days I still have some regrets about how my sports journalism career ended. Other days, I'm like, well, they just killed the Washington Post sports section, what was the point anyway?
If you were starting a Philly publication and could only make one hire, he was the guy we would have all called first. A legend from a better time. defector.com/dan-mcquade-198…
I can’t believe @MarkMacyk got to stand in front of a head shop on South Street and say this on the news

Congrats to commercial distribution leader Joe Hand Promotions on extending its partnership with AEW. Joe Hand and the JHP team are the No. 1-ranked partner for all combat sports PPV providers including UFC and PBC. businesswire.com/news/home/2…
Can report that turn out is brisk in South Philly...
at the Fine Wine and Good Spirits store on 10th street.
Runs are scored, not plated
It was never a tale of two halves
Every goal was not blasted into back of the net
If you're going to say a homer went over the fence, be sure the field actually has a fence
What am I missing @MarkMacyk, @Tyler_Harper13, @NickJCarroll, @jackgoodwillie?
A team losing a game is not a "disaster."
Home runs are homers, not "dingers," "jacks" or "bombs."
A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 "unanswered" points.
If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it "never trailed" rather than "never looked back."
In short, avoid hackneyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Remembering the late great Joe Hand, Sr., with a 10-bell count in the ring at his gym this morning in Feasterville, PA. His impact on boxing and combat sports is immeasurable. He will be remembered. Thinking of his family and staff at @JoeHandPromo and @JoeHandJr

So sorry to hear of the passing of the great Joe Hand Sr., Dad to my longtime friend and teammate. @matt_breen wonderfully tells the story of a true Philly neighborhood success story and a huge part of the city’s sports fabric. God bless Mr. Hand. inquirer.com/sports/joe-hand…
Sad news out of our company today as we've lost our founder and namesake. Appreciate @matt_breen for being such a pro with the story, as always. inquirer.com/sports/joe-hand…
Hanging around the city this weekend? Me too. Here are a few cool things to do while no one is around timeout.com/philadelphia/thi…
