I can't believe we are all riveted by a third-tier bowl game featuring San Jose State and South Florida. This game is going to be a social media legend.

Wrote a column about fast food, being young and stupid, and California's elevated minimum wage for burger flippers. Already got an email from a reader who took it WAY too seriously. signalscv.com/2023/10/tim-wh…

This week's column laments the pending final nail in Saugus Speedway's coffin. My dad pointed out an oversight: I neglected to mention Hans Wesski, who used to have a German message for other drivers on the rear bumper of his Camaro: "Auf Wiedersehen!" signalscv.com/2023/02/tim-wh…

25 years ago today, the Broncos (+11.5) defeated the Packers 31-24, pulling off the 5th-biggest upset in Super Bowl history. John Elway finally got his first ring at the age of 37 ✅

.@DTOhl gets it. And while we’re airing it out, let’s talk about the PIOs who WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS and instead refer you to their social media post. I can’t believe that’s even a thing — but it happens ALL THE TIME /rant

We hosted a town hall on fentanyl, which included 150 free doses of Narcan for parents in attendance. Here’s my column on it: signalscv.com/2023/01/tim-wh…

I didn’t expect to cry.  But there I was, at a “work event,” wiping away tears as if I was hiding in a dark movie theater, watching a rom-com, trying […]

Just learned from @NHL playoff broadcast that @emilymkaplan, when she interviews a player, at the end of the interview she says goodbye in the player's native language. Nice touch. She's a good hockey reporter & this amps up the respect: How many "goodbye" words she must know...
