For 46 years, I anchored the 6 and 11 o'clock news on 6abc in Philadelphia. RT's are not endorsements.

The fact that the owners of the Washington Post and the L.A. Times have contravened their editorial boards’ endorsements for President is horrifying. It appears the owners have been intimidated by a potential authoritarian president. Democracy under threat? You bet.

It might be a good idea for all tv stations in Phila and across the state to assign one day for repeated demonstrations on how to properly mail ballots. Security envelopes are crucial. Naked ballots will not be counted. Perhaps Pa. TV can save thousands of ballots.

Congrats to Philadelphia’s @quintabrunson! Her ABC hit show #AbbottElementary, about life in a Phila school, has been renewed for a 2nd season.

I shouldn’t display glee at others’ misfortune, but let’s be honest. How good does it feel that the #Mets are DONE and the #Phillies are set to begin the NLDS? What is Pete Alonso’s golf handicap anyway?

Honored to do the narration for the Phillies’ newest “Our House Rules” promo! And of course, it does!

On behalf of #PhilliesNation, thank you John!! But we need another starting pitcher. As long as you’re over the tax, what the hell! Haha. #Castellanos #Schwarber #Phillies

I saw this brutal quip today: “Ben Simmons took his Covid-19 shot today, but he missed it.” Now that’s harsh.

Thrilled to retweet this from Channel 6! Go get 'em Rick! I'd say good luck, but you sure don't need it.

Vernon Odom and I go back a ways. 42 years. We've covered a lot of politics together, at inaugurations, nominating conventions, mayoral debates, and thousands of other stories. He's a superb journalist, wise, caring, just plain smart. He's retiring tomorrow. Boy, will I miss him.

I’ve read that Bryce Harper REALLY wants to play for the Dodgers. Then let Phillies grant him his wish! Phila shouldn’t be a $325 million consolation prize. Let’s get Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel. Winning will put fannies in the seats. #Phillies

White House bars @nytimes, @CNN, @latimes, and others from press briefing. If you think that's ok, you don't understand democracy.

You can’t be serious. Keith, they’re paying you, right? Do your job. And BTW, Phils are playing good defense.

Keith Hernandez just said on the Mets broadcast that he has asked SNY not to make him call games against the Phillies because he doesn't like watching them play. "As far as fundamentally and defensively, the Phillies have always been just not up to it."

Is sports the last thing that allows us to bridge our political and cultural divides? Last night at the game, there had to be left wingers and right wingers in the crowd. But everyone was a RED winger. Delirious fivers don’t first ask, “Whom did you vote for!” #phillies
