    There is a difference between NBC Sports Philadelphia and NBC Sports Network. NBC Sports Network is winding down and will close up, end of ‘21. NBC Sports Philadelphia will remain as it has been, showing Phillies, Sixers and Flyers games. #passitdown

    Hurts- on Harden/Harper being there: that’s philly- Support i have for the Sixers. Talking to Bryce. Having that type of environment in the city- that’s a winning culture. That’s what philly is that’s what it’s all about.

    From start to finish @JasonKelce did it his way. He thanked his hs band teacher, for goodness sake. He knows where he comes from and where he’s going(Canton). Helluva retirement speech. #legend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    Harper- we do have the best fans in baseball. I’ve never heard a stadium louder than that.

    No, Stacy King, it IS Chicago. Don’t throw other cities under the bus because your fans were disgraceful.

    Scott Rolen said as soon as he received the call to the Hall his 4th grade son asked him if he wanted to have catch. He said “it’s about 30° here- supposed to snow 12” but there we were, about 15 minutes after the call, in the driveway having a catch. I’ll remember that forever.”

    Always been so proud of this photo. Timed exposure. Took it at 3:30 A.M. Paris time, August 1, 2012. Couldn’t sleep w the jet lag. We were staying at a friend’s apartment; that was the view. This beautiful structure survived the nazis but they couldn’t save it today?
