Joined three very smart, strong communicators to discuss all that is wrong with the @goodgood_golf x @CallawayGolf ad …. @agalbraith @BlueKnoxTO and Erin Morrison. This is the sports marketing mistake of the decade. Without question. @NEWSTALK1010

There but for the grace of God goes anyone, any party, who has ever had a press secretary job. We all have made mistakes. I sure did.

This. Exactly this. The adults and professionals dunking on a jr staffer need to give their heads a shake.

Some personal news: tomorrow, May 28, will be my last episode of Free For All Friday. After 7 years hosting a national show on @iHeartRadioCA , @NEWSTALK1010 , @CFRAOttawa , @AM800CKLW , and many more, it's time. A thread on what this show meant to me, and what's next. 🧵

A nice tribute on #HNIC from @FriedgeHNIC and @Ron_MacLean recognizing David Branch. The story from @AttackOHL alum Jonah Gadjovich really hit home. Dave was best known as Commissioner of @OHLHockey, but he was also a very thoughtful person who genuinely cared about others 🎥

Deeply saddened to learn of David’s passing. For nearly five decades, his leadership helped shape generations of athletes and left a lasting impact on junior hockey across Ontario. My condolences to his family, friends, and the entire hockey community.

A legacy of leadership from one of the game's great builders. The #OHL is mourning the loss of David Branch, Commissioner of the #OHL over a span of 45 years from 1979-2024, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 77. DETAILS 🗞️: tinyurl.com/f8raj56h

I got to know Dave Branch as a minor hockey coach and someone who cared deeply for development. Our breakfast meetings often covered both headlines in hockey and grassroots. Patsy, Barclay, Kyle and Wade…my deepest sympathies. I will miss the stories and his laugh.

Tough day. Forever grateful for my time working for Mr. Branch, who really did inspire those around him with his genuine love for the league and the players that make it so great.

We're excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow & are sharing some #mondaymotivation with them to get them pepped! January 1 may have passed, but remember that you can make a fresh start, set new goals or start over whenever you want & however many times you need.
