🚨TONIGHT, Kamala Harris on Trump’s racist, ignorant comments: "It was the same old show. The divisiveness and the disrespect. And let me just say, the American people deserve better. The American people deserve better. The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth, a

So sad to have learned about the passing of Greg Harden, who played an important role in Tom Brady and Charles Woodson time at Michigan Athletics 〽️ along with countless others. We talked with him a year ago upon the release of his book. Such a fantastic conversation. #GoBlue

Another lion gone. “Big Brad!” That’s how Greg Harden answered the phone every time we spoke. Yes, he was the secret weapon who advised Tom Brady, Desmond Howard, Michael Phelps and so many other Michigan stars. But he was also the secret weapon for my commencement address…
