An Ex Boyfriend once got me a Fitbit for Christmas. I loved it. We synched up, motivated each other... didn’t hate it until he was unaccounted for at 4am and his physical activity levels were spiking on the app 🥴wish the story wasn’t real.
@CatherineLPC
I also had a guy get drunk and bring another girl home forgetting I was spending the night there. We were set to go to church the next morning and I stayed in to get sleep. I could write a book.

players initially bought into keeping things internal. Now as they sit 2-4 the discontent is leaking out. On the coaching staff “totally unprepared. They don’t teach. They don’t have any sense of adjusting on the fly.” Another “they just aren’t good at their jobs”
To those who told me to quit reporting on his comeback, there wouldn’t be one. Hi 🖐🏼there are certain people you just don’t bet against. Proud of you
@DezBryant
Teddy Bridgewater expected to re-sign with the New Orleans Saints despite a bigger deal on the table from Miami. I’m told Bridgewater values the locker room culture and prospect of one day becoming the Saints starting QB per source informed.

WR CeeDee Lamb said he texted Dak as soon as he got out of the shower. Thanked him for everything he’s done for him and they were gonna hold it down for him until they see him on the field again
#Cowboys
DC Rod Marinelli tells me he’s made no decision about his future but with a move in a different direction on defense clear he tells me “Only thing I know is they can’t send me back to Vietnam, after that it’s cake. Outlook is always forward.”
We shared a laugh on that
How cool is this!!! Right as I’m interviewing new Saints OL Cesar Ruiz a goat crashes our interview. Hi
@drewbrees
Ruiz watched this twice 😂I expect there will be several more times!
I posted an opportunity for an unpaid internship and I’m amazed the comments I get. It’s not even for me. It’s for someone else and I would have jumped at it in college. I had 3 unpaid internships in school, double majored and had a job. SMH
Another share? I texted him today as many I’m sure did following the news. His response? “How’s your beautiful mom?” (Knowing she’s still fighting against her terminal cancer). That response…on this day. He’s different. A new team will be so lucky to have him.
It’s been a day, huh? Before I get some sleep, I did want to say it was a pleasure to cover Mike Vrabel during his six years here with the
#Titans
…. Just one story I wanted to share about
@CoachVrabel50
:
Jerry Jones says Jason Garrett will remain the coach but I can confirm a very real interest in Urban Meyer. In fact, I'm told Stephen Jones spoke with him recently. Lincoln Riley remains a strong candidate & file this name as a possibility Clemson OC Tony Elliott per sources.
No! No! No! Not RBG! If you want a true queen look no further. She fought more health battles, misogynist men and egos, the “you cants” than most of us ever will. A true trailblazer, wife, mother and advocate for those seeking equality. Your death breaks me tonight. F 2020

Pro Bowl players absolutely gutted over Kobe Bryant news. Mark Ingram continues to check his phone while asking me questions on validity of the news here on the sidelines. Derrick Henry said just yesterday he was asked to name undisputed GOAT in a sport and he said Kobe.
How is
@Dak
doing. He tells you here courtesy his Instagram. Never not smiling. An amazing testimony here on faith. Headed to doc for first post surgery visit. Prayers up
Started off the decade just begging for a full time job as a news reporter in Dallas. I was ecstatic to just fill in on CBS11 as a reporter and morning traffic reporter/anchor in a freelance role. Nobody saw me doing sports early on so I abandoned it at 24 only to come back 🤷🏼♀️
Stop the madness already. This Fitbit thing was funny until it wasn’t. It happened in the 2010-2015 time period. I’m not scorned or sad. He’s moved on. I’ve moved on. I’m not interested in dragging, naming him or talking about it. I was merely weighing in on the Peloton drama 🙄
#Cowboys
WR Allen Hurns tells me they finished surgery on his broken fibula and “I’ll be good to go by the beginning of the season” Teammate Tavon Austin told me a few guys were going to try and see him today
Dak Prescott was asked about his thoughts on the possibility this could be Jason Garrett’s last game as the head coach in Dallas:
“I think its the last game on mine as well so I’ll be damned if I speak on anyone else’s future or their place.”
The
#Cowboys
have expressed an interest in 2x Pro Bowler and former SMU wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders per a source informed. Sanders, last with the 49ers, trains in Dallas in the offseason and is equally interested in the
#Cowboys
I’m told.
Translation: I’m not sorry for what you think you heard or that you the viewer failed to acknowledge. My ego fails me and what I can’t say is that I didn’t do my research or understand what Dak said & essentially weighed in on a serious topic that I actually knew nothing about.
To the people shaming me for my hardworking grandfather and parents who instilled a similar work ethic to achieve success, you are rotten. You have no idea about my childhood or my family but it’s not even close to the picture you all paint. Very ugly people on this app
#Cowboys
source tells me the team’s charter plane has mechanical issues. So for the time being, they are stuck in Philly until they can find another. Can’t make this up
I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to articulate the end. She fought so hard and did not go peacefully. I am not sure I’ll ever get over these last 3 brutal days but I’m grateful to have been there for it all. The good the bad and with my sister and father at home providing the care

#GoodTrouble
Look, Jerry can’t sell this postgame. I appreciated the optimism and IF cowboys had played hard tonight the JG possibility was real but now u gotta move on. Get a jump on coaching, infuse a new voice. Hard to watch. This is peak quit
I’m told

RB Tony Pollard’s absence at practice Thursday was because of the birth of a child. A little girl! Congrats! He’s expected to play this weekend

As the
#Cowboys
players entered the locker room and closed the door, we could loudly hear one player passionately yelling about the loss. It was extreme whatever was being said and by whoever it was
Whiff on Randy Gregory but I’m told there is a very strong interest on Von Miller’s part in coming to Dallas. Got a home very close to the facility. 🤷🏼♀️
A source inside the Star tells me
#Cowboys
HC Jason Garrett has said goodbyes to several staff members while exchanging information to keep in touch. Late with Christmas cards or the end inevitable? Stay tuned.
This gif always gets me bc he’s never not laughing and smiling. All these tweets and support are because of who he is and you hate seeing bad things happen to good people. Praying for ya
@dak
Why should the
#Cowboys
pursue Von Miller? They could have the monster defense that can rush the passer in all situations and take the pressure off of Dak Prescott. For Von? Home outside of Dallas, no state income tax, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. Stay tuned
Just witnessed a mother make her son sit on the sidewalk on a restaurant and sit there until he would apologize for whatever he did. People looked at her like she was crazy. I wanted to high five her.
God is good. My mom was diagnosed a year ago with advanced small cell lung cancer. It was in her bones and roughly
7 percent make it a year. Today the best news we have had in a year. While we have no timeline or idea where the road takes us I’m so grateful for some good news
Talking to players who have spoken with Dak Prescott one had this to say “bummed, but he knows he will come back stronger ... knows this is a good time for him to get everything within himself sorted and cleaned up.. time to heal himself. Physically, mentally and spiritually”
Just talked to
#Cowboys
LB Sean Lee who says he is excited to finally be back after injuring his hamstring Week 9 against the Titans. He tells me he will not start today though. Team sources tell me Lee told the team he didn’t want to disrupt Leighton Vander Esch’s progress
I don’t want to write his eulogy before I have to but I can genuinely say Jason Garrett is a good man. I’ve told this story before but one time my dad came to see the Star in Frisco & Garrett couldn’t have been more magnetic or warm with him. That day meant a lot to me and my dad
Hours after the

win over the Redskins, Jason Garrett took to the field at AT&T Stadium for possibly the last time as head coach to throw around the football with his family and friends.

CB Trevon Diggs explains his success vs Eagles, why this defense is playing the way they are and what his son asked for pregame and dad delivered 👀

OT La’el Collins says he trained with Dak Prescott a lot this offseason. He says from Day 1 to now “it’s like night and day” adds “even when it was tough he pushed through” He said gives him “chills”. He’s a “big time leader.” Says “I’ll protect him at all costs”
My sister got me roller skates after I spent six months trying to buy some. My family, per usual, didn’t expect me to succeed 🤣 at 40, on wheels. First pass out of the gate...
Just talked with
#Saints
DE Cam Jordan. Talk about a case of the Sundays. “My wife had her water break pregame, then I get ejected for a punch that wasn’t intentional 70 plays or so into the game (still marinating on that) and my daughter Chanel Jordan was born 2 hours later”
For those bagging on
@Amanda_Balionis
for this interview, she says “you wanted to say a few words” she didn’t ambush him here. He’s acknowledging the shock of it and his thoughts are relevant given how big and transcendent both are outside the basketball/golf fan
“He’s good. Been in high spirits all night and morning. Minor setback for a major comeback,” per source close to Dak Prescott. Prescott has been told the recovery window is 4-6 months. Surgery was successful, heads home today
You sure know how to make a girl feel special Nick & Sam’s! Thank you for a lovely birthday and thank you to all of you for the sweet notes Thursday. Wore animal print because at 39 you could never accuse me of being a “cheetah” but I suppose I can’t rule out a “cougar” now 🤷🏼♀️

Christmas was just a little extra special this year. I love you so much mom 🫶 I pray that she keeps fighting and God gives her more grace that the doctors have. It was the greatest day in an otherwise really really tough year. Cancer, can we just not?
