30 people, 9 Emmy Awards, 1 amazing night. Watching this team walk to the stage after winning both News Excellence and Overall Excellence will be a moment I'll never forget. I'm so grateful to work alongside everyone at @KCTV5 and @GrayMediaGTN! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Nobody deserves that beatdown more than Ben Johnson. I refuse to believe Bears fans even like him. #GoPackGo

I’m incredibly proud of my friend and colleague @KristinCrowley1 for sharing this deeply personal story with such honesty and purpose.
Go Behind the Investigation on her journey with a BRCA2 mutation, preventive surgery and an unexpected cancer diagnosis: shorturl.at/RzA8r
I’m so proud of @KristinCrowley1. I can’t tell you how much time and effort she put into this story. Despite an incredibly challenging time in her own, unexpected cancer journey, the focus was always about her amazing family, and to raise awareness about the BRCA2 gene ❤️
X only allows so many characters so I’ll be blunt. I had cancer. You can watch my story here youtube.com/watch?v=JOcI6AWE… and please share it with everyone and anyone to spread awareness. Hopefully this report saves lives, I know it saved mine.
What a day. What a team. 24 @emmymidam Emmy nominations for @KCTV5, including the two big TEAM categories of Overall and News Excellence! A big congrats to the entire KCTV5 team, as well as the other @GrayMediaGTN stations in this chapter who received nominations!
The renovated @swopememorialgc in #KansasCity is beautiful! Probably the best sight lines of any course in the metro. Perfect day for 18 with @danrcohen! So glad to have it back in the local ⛳️ rota!

Chiefs HC Andy Reid is as impressed as ever with Travis Kelce.
Reid on the 14-year vet: "He'll stay out on every play. We have a rotation for him. If he hears the next play and it's one he likes, you've got to fight him to get him off [the field]."
