What a day. What a week. What a meet. T&F athletes are so resilient. All they want is a chance. Today was unbelievable. A 3 hour delay and they literally came back better than ever. I love this sport and I love the @DrakeRelays

Video of the massive tornado north of Shelby, IA, Friday evening as it was tracking toward Harlan. Photojournalist Brandon Green and I had it live on air during the 6pm news. Connectivity/ signal was glitchy at times which is expected around a big tornado. #iawx

It was devastating to see some of the Elkhorn neighborhoods today. Here just a few of the scenes we saw. Nebraska will pull together like we always do and will support the families who lost their homes.

Overheard at the Culver’s in Clear Lake, “I didn’t even know Indiana had a women’s professional basketball team.” #caitlinclarkeffect
Thank you, @jemelehill speaking out on this so eloquently.
This was a terrible moment for Gregg Doyel, a journalist I’ve known practically since I first started reporting professionally. Obviously something that never would have been said to a male athlete. I said this some time ago, but another upside of Caitlin Clark’s popularity is that it is going to finally force the sports media to grow up.
Sports media has been extremely complicit in marginalizing and infantilizing women’s sports. A lot of the commentary and coverage is now coming from people who have little experience covering female athletes (not sure Doyel fits that category) — which is probably frustrating to the people who have been covering them for years.

Caitlin Clark is officially the number one overall pick and Gainbridge Fieldhouse just went NUTS!
