The Swamp

Napoleon Bagelparte is good.

That guy went after everyone in that place except for the person who was filming him the whole time. Talk about short-sighted.

That's a low blow.

Certainly one to grow on in those clips.

And he left without his tall coffee.

Steve Cauthen's really let himself go.

Heh. I get that reference!

I laughed.

Kids today!

Actually, the guy looked way too Jewish to be a jockey.

So is Twitter down again? Or have I mercifully been banned?

It's been up and down all day.

She’s the best.

I actually saw that tweet on an Instagram meme account first, so I was scrolling. I thought the same thing. Then I saw her comment and chuckled.

Then I realized if I said it aloud or tweeted it myself I'd be harshly criticized. So I'm glad it could be said because it needed to be said. But I would've liked to have said it.

Oh well. I'll just enjoy being paid 100 cents on the dollar.

😂😂

That Bagel Boss dude is quickly becoming the next Catch Me Outside girl in that their idiocy is making them famous. He's being invited on shows and not being shamed into oblivion.

Robert Earl Keen just liked a reply of mine. From two years ago.

Feeling good again!

Sounds like a good Swamp bragging topic: what’s your best Twitter interaction? I got a like from Jim Everett once (and it was not a tweet about him). Bronto doesn’t get to play this game.

Ken Tremendous (Michael Schur) liked my reply to one of his tweets agreeing that fruit pie sucks. This is one of a total of 13 tweets I've ever made.

Probably Colin Quinn or Megan Amram. Considered Ken Jennings, but he's like an equal

I got a like from Kristin Schall at one point.

My best is easily Mike Tanier, formerly South Jersey high school math teacher and contributor at Football Outsiders.

ETA: I've also been blocked by shitbags Jack Posobiec and Dana Loesch. I'm more proud of that, personally.

He's responded to me a couple times, as well. His co-worker, Mike Freeman, followed me after a couple responses to his tweets.

Amin Elhassan has re-tweeted me a couple times, as well (non-#PitinoGame division).

Grant Wahl responded to my tweet when I asked him if he took John McPhee's journalism class at Princeton. He said he took the class but it was taught by David Remnick (editor of The New Yorker) instead of McPhee.

I got a like from the lovely Pam Grier. (Back in the olden days before twitter I was proud that Dr. Z twice fielded my questions in his online column.)

And gotta like this power move:

Stefan Lessard requoted my tweet with an eye roll and shrug emoji...and then deleted it.

He follows me, so I guess that's my big one.

Did you ask him when he was rejoining the Swamp?

I never post on Twitter, but summer between 8th and 9th grade The Sporting News printed my letter to the editor responding to an article they wrote calling for banning fighting in the NHL. First day of 9th grade, a kid I barely knew came running up to me screaming that he saw my letter in TSN. The following year they published another I wrote, I think it was about rumors of the NHL renaming the divisions. 2 for 2, and I never wrote another letter to the editor to any other publication. Gotta preserve the perfect record.

He's one of my 22 followers so I guess I'm a pretty big deal.

Not Jonah Keri

Was going to post about him, but couldn't gauge the proper thread.

So, Astros beat writer soon?

How about a fresh “Jonah Keri’s career” thread.

First post = “Yep”

All his gigs are on suspension pending the investigation. He’s done.

Wait, what?

Domestic abuse

Just got back from the googles - wow.
