I have said this for years, and yes, I worked with one of them. Live tennis commentary does not get better than the McEnroes. #AusOpen @espn.com

The #IllinoisRacingBoard may as well be the League of Nations.

Correction and clarification. By next month's date to flip the track to Thoroughbreds. That is Feb. 16. The next IRB meeting is not until March 18.
In the absence of president & GM Tim Carey, asst GM John Walsh of #Hawthorne tells the #IllinoisRacingBoard that he expects a resolution to report to the track's financial problems by next month's meeting. He also said "I don't believe any employee payments have bounced."

From #Hawthorne asst GM John Walsh to the #IllinoisRacingBoard:

Pres-GM Tim Carey is "somewhere downtown working with professionals" to get money.

On Feb. 16, "We will not turn the track over to Thoroughbreds if nothing has happened" to fix the financial mess.

There is no shortage of pitchforks and torches on the stoop of #Hawthorne during public comments at the #IllinoisRacingBoard meeting.

Does anyone else notice the video and audio are not in sync on the @espn.com telecast of @uarizona.bsky.social at BYU?

Yeah, this was better than the digital line. @cbssports.bsky.social

The TV media reporters who think we are more interested in score bugs and whether in-booth refs are relevant have lost the plot with @cbssports.bsky.social being caught completely off guard by the snowstorm in Denver. The inability to do the black-line overlay is huge, but nary a mention.
January 25, 2026 at 10:47 PM
It seems @cbssports.bsky.social is completely unprepared for the snow. It cannot decide on whether to overlay white numbers and lines. C'mon, folks. $#!7 or get off the pot.

Remember the dress codes for winter weather emergencies.
1. Civic leaders must dress in windbreakers with government logos over the left breast.
2. TV anchors must doff suit jackets and roll up sleeves to mid-wrist.
3. Field reporters must lean into the wind.
