So what does most natural remaining beach in #HollywoodBeach sound like in the morning? Like this photo, via my friend, #CatUden, whom I'm PROUD to support for Mayor of #HollywoodFL in November, so that we'll have a Mayor who doesn;'t just say what they mean, but who means what they say. A positive change!

Good Morning #Thanksgiving Week Tuesday, about to get in a few miles on the hills of #BabsonPark #FL, while visiting my Mom.
Hope to share a great JFK + Jackie photo at Kelly AFB, San Antonio, tomorrow, taken the day before he was killed, as both my parents saw them on tarmac. pic.twitter.com/qtnsrLFkIL

You and I, literally, grew-up in a #SoFL where Don Shula benched VERY GOOD players for offensive fumbles or "mental mistakes" in pass coverages/special teams. Even Mercury Morris in '72, when he + Larry Csonka BOTH got 1,00 yards rushing!
Bec of Shula, that's my standard, too.😉 pic.twitter.com/XYX2oSgtUB

Heartbroken. 💔 Bob Knight is the reason why I went to school at IU. He is the reason why I fell in love with the game of basketball.

Bob Knight’s legacy — particularly his IU tenure — is undeniably complex. But in a part of the world mad about basketball, at a time when the rest of the world was changing too fast, Knight gave Indiana fans pride to stand on. They never forgot that: https://t.co/fJJz1Qgztl
