This was so much fun. Very grateful to be a part of this event and to get to share a truck with so many talented people!
So many people had questions about what it’s like in the broadcast truck during a show - I figured it would just be easier to show you! This is the opening map select sequence from ⁦@Sentinels⁩ vs ⁦@FNATIC⁩ from the #valorantmasters Final!

Incredible leadership was shown by Coach McVay taking the time to speak to our game day control room staff before a big TNF game! His speech motivated the crew and gave us that extra edge to help create an electric atmosphere and home field advantage for our team! #RamsHouse

a Bill Simmons subreddit poster just casually dropped the foundational sports media analysis of our time in between sips of Diet Coke

That's a wrap on #VCTLOCKIN! Got to produce one last parting gift with all the language broadcasts.

Five years ago today we launched @562sports, a few weeks after being laid off from the local paper. Our non-profit, locally-run sports website has record traffic in our city and has won state and national awards for our coverage. So proud of my bros @JJfiddler @stylerroth

I think that as I've gotten older, and thus seen a bit more of the world, noticing all the various ways a life can go wrong—a person can fall on hard times, the unexpected disaster that lays you low, etc—the more my politics have just become about alleviating the suffering we can

For #VALORANTChampions I decided not to watch the @LOUDgg trophy lift from the crowd but from a view only 5 people usually see — the production front row @ValorantEsports Director @Joehoodlem TD @iancdecker Producer @StefRich22 AD: Liah

Clayton Kershaw thought his press conference was over when he was surprised by a 10-year-old. The child’s grandfather made a bucket list. On that list: meet Clayton Kershaw. That never happened. He died of cancer. But today Blake Grice met Kershaw. He feels his pappy with him.

The @SoFiStadium videoboard will catch 👀 at #SuperBowl. For big time events like this, it’s the team at @VanWagner that rolls in to put on an epic show for the fans lucky enough to be in the building. This is their first show ever in this venue. MORE: sportsvideo.org/2022/02/11/l…
