Just walked for nearly an hour on the beautiful, and today sweltering, Scioto Mile downtown. I counted 43 others cycling, running and walking during this time. Nine wore masks. That's slightly less than 21 percent. Only 1 in 5 people. This isn't good enough. Come on, Columbus!

There are 30 home games with no fans. Yet for one, Covid-19 season, the Toronto Blue Jays are the Buffalo Blue Jays. I have waited for this for decades. My late father would be thrilled his beloved Yankees will be playing Major League ball in his city. Welcome Buffalo Blue Jays!

I’m heartbroken to learn of Paula Spence’s passing early this morning. Paula was Dave Milenthal’s partner at HMS Partners, a legendary Columbus advertising agency. She smashed many, glass ceilings, and was an advertising executive at a time when few women were in the industry.

LET’S GO CREW!

We issued this statement today.

EXACTLY! Being from Buffalo, I got a big $4 for shoveling the sidewalk and entire driveway. Amen!

This ball ABSOLUTELY hit the ground without him maintaining control. I cannot believe they missed this call to end this game. Cannot believe it. Ohio State got absolutely screwed vs. Michigan on the biggest play of the year.

Does Joe Flacco have any college eligibility left? The Buckeyes are calling.

#thematch Just absolutely love all four of these tremendous players! How inspirational for all of us, no matter the age. Love you Charles and would be thrilled to be your playing partner anywhere, anytime. Thanks TNT!

Our 16 yo pug Giuseppe passed on Friday. 10 yrs ago at a HS ballgame, the Moms erupt in laughter. I’m with the Dads, so I find out why. Seems a Dad was teasing G, calling him, then ignoring him. Finally, G walks over, lifts his leg and pees on his chair. Instant karma. Love u G!

So, let’s sign Tyler Boyd and Michael Thomas (cheaply) and have Josh spread the ball all over the place this season. BillsMafia

We bid farewell to Giuseppe. It was horrible. The loyalty, companionship, unconditional love our pets give us can’t be replaced. Here’s a toast to our fabulous pets. They will never be forgotten. Our pug/beagle was 16. Thank God for what they gave us. It lasts forever.

I love this photo.

My very first day at the Columbus Chamber of Commerce.

Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther was elected to a one-year term as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, a nonpartisan group of more than 1,400 mayors representing cities with 30,000 residents or more. nbc4i.co/4eBKe8V

One person leaves a burrito company, joins a coffee company, and the stock market adjusts $28.4B of market cap between the two. Hope Niccol has that number printed on a t shirt.

Factory CEO in Springfield, Ohio: “Our Haitian associates come to work every day, they don’t have drug problems, they’ll stay at their machines, they’ll achieve their numbers, they are here to work – that’s a sharp difference from what we’re used to.”

I have converted my daughter’s cat. Go Bills!
