Usually a good idea to make sure it's actually a home run before you do the bat flip #WBC

I don't think there are words to describe how much, in the depths of my soul, I despise using the word "tater" to describe a home run

Bucket list item is to go to a game in Latin America live. The fan energy is amazing

Have to remember to watch at least one game with Team Nicaragua, just because Dusty Baker being required to follow a pitch count is mind-blowing

Any college football roundtable that doesn't have Steve Spurrier is invalid. I don't make the rules

Platner said he was not close to that grandfather.

He said, "We saw my grandparents twice a year, growing up, Thanksgiving and Easter. And when you're a kid, you never think about this stuff. We'd go down to Connecticut, and they lived in this beautiful house. And then we come back to Maine and just continue on with normal life."

Anyone who thinks college football has too many replays has obviously never watched a college basketball game

This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.

Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter

One of the things you find as you are around politicians enough is that many of them are different than you would imagine based on their public image. Their colleagues also see that side of them. That might make their regard for those colleagues right, but it can explain a lot

STEPHEN A.: Listen, you know I have a tremendous amount of love for the College World Series. HOWEVER, are we really gonna have this in Omaha every year? EVERY YEAR?

One Cubs game at Wrigley. Other various games on my bucket list crusade. More than one Nationals game. Many Braves games

It would be more useful if you could also develop an app that would remind me of every baseball game I've been to ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

I remember when there were reports that they were going to try to CFBize years ago, and I am so grateful that went nowhere

But also, don't do it unless you are going in well-prepared. Because a lot of times people seem not to do that

If I ever do an interview with Isaac Chotiner, which I would only ever do if I were to become a public figure, I would embrace it. Just say, yeah, it's a tough interview, and I did it for the same reason people do Meet The Press. Because you know he's trying to catch you. Be in on it

If you think Jamelle Bouie is a "Nazi collaborator," you have lost the thread, the plot, and everything else

I don't who needs to hear this, and it's far down the list of relevant things, but if you have ever gone to a boarding school, you are not working class
