I'm cheering for the kids. Mine. Yours. All of them. Director of Strib Varsity, Star Tribune.
- Tessa Johnson 🏆🏆 One year ago: 27 pts, 10 rebs, 7 assts for St. Michael-Albertville. Minnesota state champion. Today: 19 pts, 4 rebs for South Carolina. National champion. 📸: @rtsongphoto
- Nice touch here: NFL honoring Sid with a game ball displayed in the Super Bowl press box this evening. Amazing fact someone recalled last year, when Sid was 100 and still covering the Vikings: He’s 6 months older than the league itself. (Thx to the SB Comm Team for the pic)
- Our readers connect @LaVelleNeal instantly with the Twins, baseball. Soon they’ll get to see how well he knows the full sports landscape here, and the issues and topics all around it. A fresh set of eyes. A new voice. Truly exciting. Congrats, La Velle. strib.mn/2MyMtSc
- Congratulations are in order today for @LaVelleNeal and @RussoHockey -- they tied in voting and will share the 2019 Minnesota Sportswriter of the Year award from the National Sports Media Association. Couple of excellent pros right there.

- One of America’s great sportswriters is working her final Star Tribune shift today. A few words about @BlountStrib …
- We didn’t know what to call it yesterday, this front-to-back cover structure. Everything in a newsroom has to have a name. It occurred to me this morning that this big-as-it-gets cover approach now does have a name. It’s the Suni. Big as it gets.
- What a thrill it was to lead the Star Tribune Sports Department. I hope I went about it in ways that showed my gratitude and respect for the job and for the people. And those people, wow. Dream team. The best. Root for them. I will be. subscribe.startribune.com/SEM_MultiStart…
