I'm sure many of you have seen my post on X on the passing of Emil Kadlec. Many of you knew Emil through his years in the fantasy industry. But not everybody. And even those who worked closely with him didn't necessarily know him well off the field. Because of that, I want to

Update: It's now been 13 years since 45-year old me (left) decided changes were necessary. Now-58-year old me (right) couldn't be more pleased. Is change hard? No. Deciding to change and believing you can is hard. But it's totally doable. I'm proof. #TeamBeachBody @MyFitnessPal

I don't post a lot of personal stuff here, but I need to acknowledge the passing of Ming The Merciless. He's been a huge (no pun intended) part of my life for 17 years. His absence will leave an equally large hole. Such a personality. So much presence. What a gift. I'll

It's with a heavy heart I bring you news of Emil Kadlec's passing. He left us peacefully on Tuesday, August 27, 2024. Many of you have known Emil and are well aware of his significant contributions as an innovator in the fantasy space. If you work in the fantasy industry or

Hey. I'm paying attention. I read your tweets. I click on the charts, graphs, articles, photos & videos. I chuckle at your gifs. I realize these are superficial things, but you matter to me & I'm always here. Never hesitate to reach out if you feel alone or need a friend.

Your life is a story being written in real time. You control your narratives. When I was 30 years old, my life was a mess. I was a mess. I didn't love anybody or anything (including myself). Then, at 31 years old, I found a thing I loved. It consumed me.

We all have a lot on our minds right now. I want you to add one thing to that:. Fentanyl overdoses have become the No. 1 cause of death among US adults ages 18-45. More adults between 18 & 45 died of fentanyl overdoses in 2020 than COVID-19, car accidents, cancer & suicide. 1/3.

Curious. Could @Walmart @kroger @Albertsons & other chains set aside a period - maybe early in the day with fully-stocked shelves - where our elderly and most at risk could shop in a more hospitable environment? Is it realistic? Is it being considered? In the works already?.

Excuse me. I wanted to tell you that as I peruse my TL these days, I look back over my 26 years in the fantasy industry and realize how smart we've become (or certainly how smart the rest of you have become). As in crazy smart. 1/3.

When I was 45 years old, I had ballooned up to over 400 pounds. It seemed like a permanent condition. Until I decided it wasn't. Sixteen years later, I'm half that weight.

Being first is great. Accurate reporting is greater.
ABC: Kobe Bryant and 4 children killed. FOX: Kobe Bryant and 3 others killed. TMZ: Kobe Bryant survived by wife and 4 daughters. I hope some people lose their jobs today for rushing reports.

Y'all. My move is complete. I'm a Texan. That means I will do a better job of replying and * NOT * getting autopicked in ongoing drafts. Apologies for any issues I have not resolved (please reach out as needed). Otherwise? Don't mess with Texas Bob (j/k mess with me as usual🤠).

I am heartbroken to tell everyone that @MikeTagliereNFL passed away peacefully last night. We are so thankful for your support and prayers over these past weeks. Tags appreciated all of you more than you could know. He wrote this 6 years ago and I think it’s just perfect .

In all fairness, the ball hitting him in the hands and being in the end zone at the same time had to catch him by surprise.

It would be ironic if it weren't such a common occurrence. If I got a wish this holiday season, it's that we all start paying more attention to this, before we lose more loved ones to such a senseless death.

I love this time of year! An hour after this article was published, the Seahawks traded Geno Smith to the Raiders. So yes, I'm quite pleased to have spent the day doing a deep dive on Kenneth Walker III's 2025 outlook (among other things). Still some interesting stuff. It's.
