Oh, this is so sad. Shane was a wonderful person. We hadn't spoken in a few years, but he was just a lovely human being who loved politics. He spoke out on disability rights and dealt with cancer as well as anyone could have. Farewell, Shane.

Shane is my nephew. Thank you Congressman!
This week is Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) Awareness Week. EB is a rare, painful disease that affects kids and adults everywhere, including here at home. Shane, a friend and constituent of mine, has shared his story to help others and push for better research. We have to keep investing in this work — so families living with EB can keep their hope, and so we get to a cure. 💙🙏🏻

Very sad to hear that the great Ken Dryden has died. Brilliant, gifted, honorable. He inspired so many with his example, including me. Back in 2009, I hosted a conversation with Dryden and Bill Bradley at Cornell. Two of the greatest student-athletes ever. Only the second time they had met. They were wonderful together. cornell.edu/video/lives-on-t…

She was magnificent. I am so fortunate to have known her.

I had the honor of meeting Pope Francis during his 2015 visit to the @Sept11Memorial, where he spoke to an interfaith audience about the importance of religious tolerance and inclusivity. His message carried special resonance at the site of the 9/11 attacks, and it remains as important today as it was then. His deep commitment to fostering healing and unity inspired people of all faiths around the world, as did his humble style, commitment to the poor, and calls for tackling climate change and protecting the environment. It is fitting that his final Easter message included pleas for peace and 'respect for the views of others,' a reflection of the compassion, tolerance, and devotion to justice that were hallmarks of his papacy. The world will deeply miss his moral leadership and universal vision.

Chris was assigned to my show in his first days at ESPN. He combined humility with knowledgeability in a beautiful way. Years later we landed next to each other on an LAX line and we laughed about that long ago time at the dawn of his amazing ESPN career.
From @TheAthletic: Chris Mortensen was a legendary insider before social media turned deadlines from days to seconds. Our columnist remembers a pioneer in sports journalism. nyti.ms/4bUfEGx
