Max would have been 25 today. Would love to see who he would be. That’s the shame of it. In his memory had his favorite meal today at lunch. Great job, @PearlsDlxBurger.

- In seven years, the @CFBPlayoff has had 28 berths filled by 11 programs. That’s not healthy for the sport. That’s not good marketing. The sport continues to be popular in spite of the people who run it.
- I came to work at ESPN 18 years ago today, on Nov. 5, 2002, as the first college football writer at ESPN.com. On the day that my employment became an adult, ESPN informed me that upon expiration of my contract on Jan. 31, I will no longer be working here. 1/
- I am convinced the people who want to change the four-team @CFBPlayoff are right. We should go back to two.
- I have some news: I have a new job. This will be fun.
- I just published “I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye”
- I am no expert on suicide. I am an expert on one suicide — my son’s. I am stunned at idea we should “honor and move on.” Their “move on” = “Don’t mention.” Doesn’t this contribute to stigma surrounding mental health, to shame society applies to suicide? Sunlight would help, no?Thanks for folks at Washington State sharing with me their treatment/recovery plan after the suicide of Tyler Hilinski. cbssports.com/college-footba…
- The @JalenHurts who captivated @AlabamaFTBL and @OU_Football fans (and the rest of us), as he has never let you see him.
- I love to write, and I love college football, and I don’t anticipate either one of those loves diminishing anytime soon. After Jan. 31, we’ll see what happens. 5/5
- I thought writing this might help me, might help the Hilinskis, might help someone who reads it.
- Who’s going to tell the @LSUfootball fanbase that @CoachBrianKelly has lost to @AlabamaFTBL by scores of 42-14 and 31-14? Anyone?
- The reaction to my tweeting Thursday that ESPN is not renewing my contract has been gratifying. Thanks very much to my friends and colleagues. Thanks to those of you who know me only as a byline or a voice in their ear. If you were trying to make me feel good, you succeeded.
