My fave @LeeCorsoETH line came during a USFL game telecast on ABC, either the first or second season, early 1980s. Seldom did players then weigh over 300 pounds. But one team that day had a player weighing 345. Lee laughed as he passed along his nickname:. “Quarter-to-four.”.

Produced 8 videos to stress the importance of safety in both pools and open water, in @EssexCountyON & beyond. All 8 videos stacked here, as National Drowning Prevention Week ends. Trust me, you’ll learn something:. #NDPW @EssexWindsorEMS @PointPeleeNP

It’s Drowning Prevention Week in ⁦@EssexCountyON⁩, 🇨🇦 & around the world. We at the County are rolling out numerous videos this week to underscore vital water-safety messages. The theme of #NDPW 2025 campaign is “Safer Together.” First reel here:

Back home where the heart is, where it’s always been: Mighty proud to have begun my new job today as Corporate Communications Officer for the #CountyofEssex, #Canada’s southern-most jewel.

eg, Don’t Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder). Musically & lyrically, just when ya think a song could not get any more sad or depressing, Wilson/Asher drop these all-timer love-song lyrics in Verse 2: “Being here with you feels so right / We could live forever tonight.” Wow. 2/2.

Re how he married brilliant melodies w/ catchy & often complex chord progressions, musical genius Brian Wilson had few equals in the mid to late ’60s. Tony Asher helped him put to paper the sometimes heart-crushing ideas Wilson had for Pet Sounds lyrics. 1/2.

In winning the @bigten men’s hoops tournament title, @umichbball over its 3 wins hit 42/48 (87.5%) free throws, and outshot all three foes in that regard, including #Wisconsin, which had one the best seasons from the line in NCAA history….

#Bills reportedly agree to terms with another #Canadian #NFL player, this time ex-#rams OLB Michael Hoecht (pronounced HOYT). Born in Oakville Ont. — less than an hour’s drive from the Peace Bridge — he was raised mostly in Oakwood, Ohio:.

Josh Palmer grew up less than a two-hour drive from Orchard Park, in Brampton, Ontario. My pre-draft profile in 2021 on the former soccer goalkeeper and son of a @WindsorLancers FB player: . #Buffalo #Bills @BuffaloBills @NFL #NFL @Vol_Football.

Happy 83rd birthday to #RollingStones founder and musician extraordinaire, Brian Jones. My tribute to one of his most beautiful, memorable studio contributions — his mountain dulcimer on 1966’s Lady Jane. @RollingStones @MickJagger @officialKeef #Stones

And all on somebody’s birthday ….

Moments before this border-guard helicopter whizzed by, above the #Detroit River, 3 #Americans fishing on an ice slab drifted downstream … well, 3 bald eagles (2 adults, 1 juvenile). Unsure which side applied #tariffs to their catches. #CanadaUSTradeWar 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Each US #Thanksgiving I tweet out this 1905 Chicago newspaper cartoon, which I found while researching my book Stagg Vs. Yost. The occasion was the epic Nov. 30 showdown between undefeated @B1Gfootball arch-rivals @UMichFootball & @UChicago. Enjoy the day!

Historic run ends. Longest regular-season win streaks in @UMichFootball history, by my count:. (1) 2021-24 …… 29#. (2) 1901-03 . … 28. (3) 1903-05 …. 26. (4) 1946-49 …. 24. (5) 1971-72 ….… 21. @umichBentley #goblue. #5-2 in post-season. Both Ls vs. title-game participants.

While writing my book on Fielding H. Yost’s @UMichFootball “Point-a-Minute” teams of 1901-05, ‘Stagg vs. Yost,’ I never thought their two program-record regular-season win streaks of 28 and 26 would ever be touched. Wrong. 2021-24 RS win streak now at 29. And counting. Amazing.
