    Let me get this straight: @YouTubeTV has no problem automatically billing me each month for its service. Makes sense--they have all the necessary info. But when it comes time to offer it's dinky $20 credit, YTTV suddenly needs the customer to do all the paper work heavy lifting?

    Hey, @YouTubeTV, has it been ``an extended period of time'' yet for that dinky $20 credit? Asking for millions of friends...

    June 30 was my last day at ESPN. I'm indebted to every editor, producer, director, crew member, researcher, and colleague during that 25 1/2-year run. Grateful to all those who let us parachute into their lives and trust us with their stories. No Plan B yet. For now, just thanks.

    I’ve only been doing @CollegeGameDay for eight seasons and this Nebraska crowd might be the loudest I’ve ever heard.

    Andrew Luck, who has left bits and pieces of himself on football fields, who has conducted himself during his career with honor and integrity, who explained his reasons for retirement openly and honestly...is somehow getting criticized by some for those reasons? Astounding.

    Tennessee is a work in progress--and so is Pruitt. But if you measure a program's progress by the way it plays, then the Vols are trending the right direction when it comes to competing. Realistic UT followers recognize the difference between early-season effort and now.

    TAMU, Michigan, OU, Boise, Ole Popcorn, ND, Iowa, Wake, UMass…yeah, nothing against the NFL, but I’ll take a college football Saturday over any other day of the week.

    I know Florida was short-handed. I know Mullen might have been limiting Trask's reps. I know the `they're not SEC good' comment didn't age well. But @OU_Football, even before boat racing of UF, was tracking toward one-of-four-best teams. Still, a great recovery this season.

    For all the verbal shots Tennessee fans have taken in the last couple of years (some deserved), nobody can question the support they’ve shown for the child who was bullied. Those are the Vols fans I know and admire. Well done by all those who bought shirts.
    So proud of VOL nation today. More than 16,000 t-shirts ordered by 3 pm today, crashing the website which is back up. Giant shout-out to @UTVolShop who ignited this story. On every major network today showing what it means to be a VOL and step forward and act! #tennesseeproud

    Had an uncle who was in the Army Corps of Engineers. Fourth wave. Would never talk about that day, no matter how many times I asked as a teenager. Decades later, a letter arrived. Nine pages. He wrote about the day of days. Incomprehensible courage by those men...

    Met a wonderful guy at the AN driving range yesterday: Shane Caldwell, who is battling Stage 4 lung cancer. He's a huge Tiger Woods fan--so it was lovely to see Woods stop by and give him signed glove, which read, ``Stay Strong!'' Nice gesture to a guy fighting hard.

    Figure it out, everyone. Now. And I'll be waving goodbye to YouTube TV on a permanent basis if I'm staring at a blank screen on a college football Saturday. Some things are sacred...

    With a few exceptions, I've been fortunate to cover almost every major sporting event during my career. But here at the Special Olympics World Games, I'm awestruck by joy of the athletes, by their sportsmanship, by the purity of their efforts. I find myself smiling all the time.
