I spent just a few hours of my life, watching Netflix and hooked up to a machine…but hopefully those hours will allow my recipient to live for a few more decades.
Check out this story for more info & please consider joining the registry:

@BrelandFOX29
recently donated plasma and bone marrow stem cells to help a complete stranger who needed help in his battle with cancer. She made her donation through
@BeTheMatch
& she's encouraging others to join their registry.
READ HER STORY:
I have gotten comments like this my entire career. TO BE CLEAR: I, a biracial woman, wear my hair the way it grows out of my head naturally. It has been intentional, to represent those who (like me) don’t see themselves often represented in media. Rude emails won’t change my mind
It’s Doc’s postgame comments, it’s the fans, it’s the Sixers brass, now it’s Embiid.
I have never seen someone so adamantly refuse to take responsibility for their own shortcomings. It’s laughable at this point.
Ben Simmons has concluded that he's done playing with Joel Embiid, sources tell
@sam_amick
.
While it's not personal, Simmons believes that playing around Embiid’s style isn’t conducive to the way he needs to play.
📚:
I’m sure Brian Flores knows full well that filing this lawsuit will likely mean the end of his NFL coaching career, and yet he took a stand anyway. Just an unbelievable amount of courage and selflessness on display in an attempt to change the system for others.
2 years ago, I was thinking about getting out of tv because the guy I dated convinced me it was an inconvenience.
I’ve since earned an Emmy nom & am about to cover the Super Bowl. Never let someone stand in the way of all you’re capable of.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Former Rochester resident here. If you’ve never lived in Western NY and never dealt with lake effect snow, you may wanna sit this argument out.
We’d get multiple inches and schools would still be open. If the Governor is stepping in to issue a travel ban, it’s BAD. Deadly bad.
For the thousandth time: something you have a complete choice over and refuse to do is absolutely not the same as the Holocaust, slavery, the Civil Rights movement, the Trail of Tears or any genocide/brutal mistreatment of minorities that you continue to compare it to. STOP IT.
The
@NFL
is making players wear colored wrist bands now based on vaccination status. Funny, I thought we all agreed on the evils of segregation back in the 60s. Here we are again- only this time it’s based on personal health choices instead of skin color.
Some news to share. I have decided to leave KCTV. Today’s my last day on staff.
Kansas City, it’s been my absolute pleasure meeting all of you & becoming part of your community. Thank you SO MUCH for your immense kindness & support, it meant the world to me. Keep in touch!❤️💛
A day before the NFL roster cut deadline, I have a transaction to announce.
The Buffalo Bills and

Andy Reid (may I call you Andy? Big Red, perhaps?) this Pennsylvania girl can not WAIT to meet you.
“The US settles for silver” is such an annoying/ kind of rude headline and I wish we’d all stop using it.
Simone is out (and I’m sending her love and hope she’s okay!). The rest of those ladies stepped up and gave their all in her absence. Don’t diminish that accomplishment.
White friends: DO NOT STOP CALLING THIS BS OUT BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE. We feel uncomfortable/subhuman/2nd class EVERY DAY. Dont stop. Don’t quit. The past few weeks have been great but the Bubba Wallace situation is proof this is a long term commitment. RIDE WITH US.
For the record: I’m very confident and comfortable with my look but I deal with these thinly veiled micro aggressions on a regular basis and I know other journalists of color do too. I’m just tired of it.
(Thank you for all the wonderful compliments though! You guys are great!)
My mom sent me a care package to open today so I know I’m loved. She’s so kind but also the note 😢 (We just came to the conclusion to cancel my flight for Christmas because it’s not safe and the package was sent before we finally decided)
Hey
#Buffalo
peeps: in case you were curious, Former UB / Bills quarterback Tyree Jackson is doing well here so far at
#Eagles
training camp as a TE. Several other media members have been very impressed by him too 👀
Andy Reid on DeAndre Baker: “when he gets here he’ll see the environment we have and he’ll know he’s going to have to work hard and keep his nose clean.....anything else isn’t acceptable”
#Chiefs
LeSean McCoy had the worst season of his career last year. This is a fact.
What you don’t see on that stat sheet is that the Bills unexpectedly lost 2 pro bowl linemen and had to go with an o-line that they ended up almost completely trading away or cutting by 2019.
"The mic is always hot" is a good reminder, but I think this is a time to point out that's usually for swear words, jokes, etc. There are certain words that don't need to be in your lexicon, PERIOD....hot mic or otherwise.
Someone who looks like ME is the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
And someone else who looks like me married into the most popular royal family in the world.
Mixed girl magic ✨
The first bit of joy I’ve come across in the past 24hrs:
Stopped over at Power & Light for a quick bite to eat, and they’ve decided to re-broadcast Super Bowl LIV. Cheers erupted all around and everyone’s now crowded around the big screen.
#ChiefsKingdom
I’m sorry but imo the over encouragement of trea turner tonight seems super condescending and to ME PERSONALLY it’s prob making it worse. He’s the 300 million dollar grown ass man. Stop coddling him.
Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy is at the podium now. “I’ll say this. I had an opportunity to interview for three jobs. I had a great process....but at the end of the day, my focus is turned to the Houston Texans. It’s a blessing...but when it’s all said and done I work for a great org.”
Getting death stares for cheering for the Phillies HR in this NYC bar.
Will I get my next drink spit in? Perhaps. Worth it? ABSOLUTELY.
#RingTheBell
#RedOctober
My Uber driver tonight told me she was with her husband 48 years before he passed away a few years ago. “Never settle for anything less than the magic, because even if they leave this world before you, it’s worth it” 💕 That really touched my soul!
#Chiefs
backup QB Chad Henne and I both grew up in the same small town in Pennsylvania. Today, I asked him how Reading, PA is supporting him in
#SuperBowlLIV
.
Hear from him about his relationship with Patrick Mahomes tonight on
@KCTV5
.
The unpaid internship tweets from "grinders" like to leave out the financial assistance part of the story. I also took unpaid internships. Meanwhile, my parents paid my car insurance, phone bill, spotted me money here and there, etc. That is a privilege a lot of folks don't have.
Former Chiefs/now Bills center Mitch Morse spoke VERY highly of Kansas City, calling the city a “hidden gem” and admitted its going to be a little surreal returning for the first time as part of a visiting team.
“Flying into MCI is going to be very weird”
Everyone on the
@BuffaloBills
training camp roster has a different background that's led them to the NFL, but RB
@ChristianWade3
might take the cake....or scone...for most unique! Here's how the former rugby star is enjoying his first days in football pads.👇🏽

@NFLUK
Josh Allen saw a kid with a Dolphins jersey at
#Bills
camp and decided to take it and give him something better. (Didn’t fix the shorts though , guess that’s for next time😉)
For my dad, who’s currently battling thyroid cancer.
For her brother, who beat leukemia as a teen.
And for
@JennaCottrell
herself, who beat Stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is one of the strongest & most amazing people I know.
Who Do You Play For?
"We believe that racism and intolerance are learned behaviors, as no one is born disliking someone else because of their race or culture. Kingdom United operates on the assumption that if you can teach negativity, then you also can teach love and acceptance."
Bravo,
@Chiefs
!
Along with our player and community partners, we are happy to announce the launch of our new educational program called Kingdom United. This program is a youth-focused diversity and inclusion initiative designed to promote racial equality.
When Josh Allen was drafted, Bills GM Brandon Beane said “he is Buffalo, and you’ll see that when you meet him.”
Allen seems to be taking that to heart, he’s at the podium in a
@BuffaloSabres
hat.
Patrick Mahomes gives props to Josh Allen: "I really respect his game, he's gotten better and better every single year....he works his tail off” Says he looks forward to seeing this matchup play out for a long time.
#Chiefs
Tyrann Mathieu on motivation to win: “There’s a lot of young guys, new faces, guys who were injured and this is their first one....it means a lot to them but it also means a lot to us to give them that same feeling we had last year.” Cites Juan Thornhill as an example.
#Chiefs
I LOVE being home, but I low key miss Kansas City today. Y’all taught me how to properly celebrate Juneteenth and I KNOW it’s gonna be lit today and I wish I could join 😩
I know there’s a lot going on today, but bear with my tweet delays. My dad is getting baptized at our family’s church in GA and he wanted me to be there. I told him I couldn’t because of work, but I flew down after the last preseason game & surprised him at the hotel.
Reaction:
(I’m up due to anxiety)
I know today is tough for people. My first thanksgiving away was brutal (I cried HARD in my office. Same with xmas). If this is the first time you’re experiencing that distance, I promise you, it’ll be ok! FaceTime! Call! They still love you! Be strong🥰

@DDawkins66
aka the Shnowman went viral after his post-game "Making Mac & Cheese is kind of like football" analogy Sunday (
@kraftmacncheese
even got in on it!) Now, he's got his own signature dish at Mooney's Bar and Grill.

I keep tweeting/retweeting newsworthy things about (mostly locally based) athletes/athletic programs using their platforms to combat racism and whew the follower count just keeps going down. Disheartening, but it is what it is. Keep telling on yourselves.
wait ok so
@whec_rdonnelly
and I split up to do interviews, and he went to talk to
@Edoliver_11
. I'm back at the studio editing and discovered this GEM at the start of the tape. I'M DEAD Y'ALL 😂😂💀💀
I never grew up with someone who looked and IDENTIFIED as me. They’d always simply be “black”. Nobody was okay occupying multiple spaces. I want to pay homage to Meghan and Kamala and all those unapologetically mixed girls. Thank you. I hope I, too, can inspire the next gen.
A day before the NFL roster cut deadline, I have a transaction to announce.

Watching this Nickelodeon broadcast and the young woman in the booth just said “since 2000...wow that’s before I was even born!” EXCUSE ME WHILE I GO APPLY FOR MY AARP CARD, THANKS
Here’s a grown ass man making fun of a teenage girl who has Asperger syndrome (and encouraging others to do the same!). Love that you tout your church in your bio, makes it extra great.
Never change Bob.
BEST THING IVE EVER DONE: I recently worked with
@BeTheMatch
to donate bone marrow stem cells to a stranger who needed my help to save his life.
Tune into
@FOX29philly
tonight at 11pm to get a look at the SUPER EASY process, and please consider signing up.
Extended TED Talk: this is all I’ve ever wanted to do since I was in 6th grade. Had a few teachers/advisors tell me it was a pipe dream. Bet on yourself. Always.
Happy

Big thanks to
@KCWoSo
for the celebratory scarf. It’s about 70 degrees but I still had to put it on for the occasion! ☺️
