I’m coming home.
I’m thrilled to share that I have purchased The Monticello News (@Themontnews) & will be the paper’s newest owner. Additionally, I will be serving as the paper’s publisher & editor.
So excited for what’s ahead!

and y’all need to STOP treating kalshi and polymarket as if they’re The News. they are BETTING platforms, and treating them as if they’re AP or reuters (who they steal their “reporting” from) lends them legitimacy that they did not earn and do not deserve.

Here's MS NOW reporter @gardnerakayla describing her arrival at the White House this morning. Her badge didn't work. "The officer asked me to hand over my badge. He said that it was disabled. I asked why I was not able to get inside. He said it was above him."
HUGE shakeup in 4-AA. Social Circle & Putnam County suffer losses while Monticello wins. After it all shakes out, the Canes sit at 1st in the region standings. Still a lot of football left to be played but it appears this region is wide open.

Trump just reaffirmed his intention to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House. Such a move would be an assault on long-honored principles of a free press. I have often joined in the criticism over the bias of these outlets, but barring disfavored media from the White House is a terrible precedent and practice...

That’ll do it. That will bring down the cost of gas. ⛽️

Tonight I’m at Glenn Hills (2-1) as they take on Jasper County (1-2) during Week 5 of the 2026 Augusta-area high school football season.
Follow along for live updates throughout the game.

I just don't know how anyone is supposed to care about this #Falcons team with Cooper Rush starting. Talk about a lifeless start to the 2026 season. Can only hope Penix's return injects some energy into Atlanta, and soon.

Falcons QB updates, per @RapSheet:
• Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) won't play Week 2
• Michael Penix Jr. (knee) return is "coming soon"
• Cooper Rush (back) will likely start Week 2

If you want to know how to help after last week’s mass layoffs, here’s a good place to start. Also, subscribe to local journalism. Our industry is on life support. If you can afford to subscribe to Netflix, Hulu, Apple, Peacock, perhaps add a local news outlet to that list.
Yesterday, a combined 23 guild journalists from the Miami Herald, El Nuevo Herald and Bradenton Herald were laid off by McClatchy.
We have launched a GoFundMe to help our colleagues, whose livelihoods and families have been upended by this decision. gofund.me/85e427c56
So proud of what @OliviaKSayer is doing. Keep shining!
Some personal news: Thrilled to share that I am joining the @Bama_247 team in a full-time role! I will primarily cover recruiting and baseball while helping out with football and basketball. A big thank you to @kryan247, @mikerodak and @BrettGreenberg_ for the opportunity and warm welcome!
Also, a big shout out to @JordanDavisHill, @benjaminwolk and @KippLAdams for making my time with @Dawgs247 incredible. They have built something special within the Georgia community, and it was a pleasure to be a small part of it!
Inexcusable for the Falcons to let this man walk. He deserved to be rostered by the Falcons.
The Cowboys are signing RB Tyler Goodson off the #Falcons practice squad, per @AaronWilson_NFL.
Risk you take with just 2 RBs on the active roster.
A real sports show? No hot takes? Just ball? Sign me up. Well done @Realrclark25 & company. You’ve got a fan.
“What Kept you up last night?”
I LOVED tackling when my body still allowed me to do it! 😂 So I pay close attention to it.
Early in the season, DBs gotta understand space, angles, approach & leverage. I picked 4 plays from Week 1 to break down, & @FredTaylor helped me bring the tackling mindset to life.
Wish this would’ve helped me get HIM on the ground when we played… ‘cause that’s STILL what keeps me up at night! 😂

I watched Desmond Ridder
I watched Marcus Mariota
I watched Taylor Heinicke
I watched the ghost of Kirk Cousins
Cooper Rush is worse than all of them combined
