So explain why Glenville played football Friday night. What is going on with the alleged theft situation? I would think this is beyond a serious matter!

Glenville HS football players accused of stealing over $4,500 worth of merchandise from Dick’s Sporting Goods fox8.com/news/glenville-hs-f…
@Delta trying to cancel flights that are delayed but on hold on the cancellation line. Flight 1295 was delayed 2 hours causing a connection to be missed. So we are trying to cancel the entire trip. I dont want to not get a full refund waiting on hold. Time stamp
@Delta been on hold 2hrs and online chat hold for over an hour. This is getting ridiculous
@CFFroton @eliotmays @CFFguys just listening to the pod. I picked up hill as well but am hesitant to play him this weekend. I looked back at past years and bama has a tendency to heavily split carries in games like this. Like 8 guys with 5-6 carries.

Never forget that 15 years ago, ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. said he would retire if Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL QB.
Clausen's record as a starting NFL QB was 1-13.

Travis Hunter is the perfect fit for the Giants now, because he can play wide receiver on Jameis' good passes and cornerback on Jameis' bad passes.

So the SEC has a handful of very good teams at the top, followed by a vastly overrated middle/bottom of the conference. Is this a football or basketball tweet?
@rockfordhomesOH just found this was used and covered by carpet for years. Now getting new carpet and it can’t be tucked under the bullnose. Need this addresses now.

@nbc4i please follow up and research this weekends Upper Arlington girls basketball game. There is video of their head coach instructing girls to illegally switch players who are shooting free throws. Teaching HS students this is disturbing. I’ll be sending to each station.
@CFF_Jared @CFFNate Any thought on tj harden? Had the most carries all season and it paid off vs a tough defense. Has he been hurt? Coaching malpractice?
@971RandI D’Eriq king didn’t at Houston after 3-4 games. Ended up at Miami. Pre NIL but I’m sure a bag was involved.
@AmericanAir going on 6hrs or delays in Phoenix. Flight has been delayed multiple times and a 12 dollar food voucher was given. At what point do peoples plans come into account? At this point I could have driven the 9 hours to Fresno by the time the plan lands (if it leaves).
@AmericanAir now another 2 hours. Plane has my luggage so we are held held hostage. And leaving your employees out to dry at the gate. Shameful. Find another plane!

Awesome interview @colecubelic
Congratulations Martell
“Glory be to God.”
This is one of the best interviews you’ll ever see. @arizonafball’s Martell Irby is someone we can all root for.

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:
We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?
We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...
During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...
We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...
We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...
But for the day's highlights...
To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...
If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...
And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...
And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....
We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.
It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.
It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...
And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.
But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.
These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.
Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.
Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.
If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.
Boo-Yah!
