Seattle is just built for the big occasion. @SoundersFC put on a show for 69,000, just a shame things got #Messi at the end #SEAvMIA

Miami are a bag of creaking (but brilliant) bones. Happy to let Seattle play from back - @SoundersFC exposing them when playing at pace, pressing as a unit and getting wide to deliver service to DeRosario. His goal a must after a couple of early glaring misses. #SEAvMIA

Great to catch up with Seattle soccer royalty today. My old @SoundersFC broadcast colleague @coachfewing whose camps I’m glad to say are still going strong. Loving the England top too 😎 peterfewingsoccercamp.com/

Enjoying the change of scenery and office view in the new job! Also bought a kettle and some British teabags, so feeling right at home 😂 #executiverecruiting #roomwithaview

I’ve often been asked ‘what was your favorite sporting interview?’ Having switched careers recently it got me thinking. And of all the athletes I’ve been lucky to meet, it might surprise you who came out on top.. herdfreedhartz.com/telling-y…

My fave part of that screen test was when the exec producer came storming in to the studio as if about to give you a dressing down.. and then was totally speechless cos you absolutely nailed it. You’re the best. And yes margaritas, but only one.. 😉
"A screen test?" this newbie had no idea what i was in for and it was Ross who hosted for my first trial as an on-air analyst. He was - and is - amazing. Thanks for being such a great teammate...we'll celebrate your next adventure over margaritas 🫡
