So I had the tremendous honor of accepting the Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction, Sports for our @NASCAR Studios/@Bluefoot_tv show “Home Turn.” The show, about Daytona Beach around the track, is so damn good thanks to everyone involved behind the camera, but the music choices by the great @timothyhorgan are sublime, and the support from NASCAR's John Dahl (pictured with me) was invaluable.

Also: when you’re walking onto a stage like that, the mic looks like it’s about half a mile away. And thank God for notes, because wow, does your mind goes blank at @TheEmmys.

Last fall I was at the Ryder Cup and I heard an American fan begging a European fan to write a cool chant for the USA because "we suck at it." That inspired this World Cup article for @YahooSports, on soccer chanting and, well, why we suck at it: sports.yahoo.com/soccer/arti…
Exclusive: Phil Mickelson accused of nonconsensual, inappropriate contact with a female employee at his home course. Following the allegation, he is no longer a member of the club. Our Golf Digest investigation: golfdigest.com/story/phil-mi…
"This World Cup can be a turning point not only in how others view us, but how we view ourselves." Dan nails it here -- seen through the eyes of awed outsiders, America's pretty damn cool after all
Experiencing the World Cup through the eyes of our foreign visitors will make us feel better about America than any 250th birthday party they could ever throw at the White House.
