When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

What a poignant closing quote in Iowa Senate race:
“When it was all done and they could ride the buses someone asked Rosa Parks, ‘How do you feel about all this?’” Fmr Sen. Tom Harkin said. “She said, ‘Well my feet are tired, but my soul’s at rest.’ So with Josh Turek coming into the Senate my soul will be at rest.”

Nice to see.
We’ll never agree with Kevin Durant about the decision he made on July 4th, 2016.
But when I read this recent interview I am reminded that we share an experience we’ll never forget. The years 2008 through 2016 represented Oklahoma City’s rise, and not just on the basketball court. @KDTrey5 was absolutely a key contributor to our city’s renaissance, and, as he says in this interview, he takes pride in that.
I happen to be wearing my 2025 championship hoodie as I post this. Perhaps that helps soothe the pain. In any case, I leave this here for you to make your own judgment.

Can confirm: I'll be covering Super Bowl LXI for @SBJ!
So appreciative to everyone at @merrillcollege and @PovichCenter who made this possible. I can't wait to head to Los Angeles in February!
Super Bowl LXI is headed to Los Angeles — and so is @merrillcollege student Jake Kauderer!
We're partnering with @SBJ to send Jake to cover the big game as part of their team. Thanks to SBJ senior planning editor Mike Sherman for visiting us to kick off this year's program!
As a native son of the great state of Maryland, I'm grateful to be part of @SBJ's partnership with @PovichCenter and looking forward to working with Jake Kauderer.

The @UofMaryland Athletics Department has agreed to First Amendment training with FIRE after two student journalists were reported to campus police for “suspicious activity” while trying to interview @umterps football players.
Student reporters should be able to do their jobs in public spaces without fear of unnecessary police encounters.
We appreciate Maryland Athletics’ willingness to address these concerns. Public universities — including their athletic departments — have a duty to protect press freedom, not intimidate those exercising it.
For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.

A column on Kevin Willard, who embarrassed himself and #Villanova:

I was there. And it was the guttiest I ever saw. @johnquinn83
Frank Robinson slides home under Manny Sanguillen's leap — the winning run, Game 6 of the 1971 World Series, Memorial Stadium, Baltimore, October 16, 1971. (Focus on Sport via Getty Images)
Bottom of the tenth, tied 2-2, season on the line. The 36-year-old Robinson — hobbled by a strained Achilles — drew a one-out walk, then aggressively took third on Merv Rettenmund's single, diving in ahead of Vic Davalillo's throw. When Brooks Robinson lifted a fly to shallow center, Frank tagged and slid underneath Sanguillen for the 3-2 win, forcing Game 7. The effort tore his hamstring and left him a shell in the finale, which Pittsburgh took 2-1. It was his second-to-last game as an Oriole.
⚾ Robinson won Game 6 on pure will — the gutsiest baserunning ever? 👇️

The biggest takeaway from this is the continued focus on partnering with local restaurant groups, which is just phenomenal. The best stadiums and arenas reflect the city they are in and OKC’s food scene is one of our best attributes.

The new arena is coming out of the ground in advance of its 2028 opening.
