Never get tired of seeing the #MyWish features on @SportsCenter. As a parent it's both heartbreaking & heartwarming. Powerful..

3. Impressive Open Championship showings
Wow…gotta love Rory McIlroy, Open champ. And Mike Tirico, great play by play guy.

Mike Tirico is fantastic, he went from hosting World Cup coverage in Brazil to being in The UK to host @The_Open

I feel like Tom Rinaldi would make Vlad Putin cry in an interview. He's the best

Just saw #OTL on @espn about @NFL cheerleaders and their treatment and wages. It's a shame that they do so much work and get paid so little.
— Andrew Li (@idrew4u) July 20, 2014
After watching ESPN OTL, I'm glad the Steelers are 1 of 6 NFL teams without cheerleaders
