Retired after 43 years as AP sports writer (10 Olympics, 3 Super Bowls 1 fabulous World Series). Great memories fading with old age. Studiously avoiding politics (with mixed results) for my mental health.

I’ve already confessed to my ignorance. $150-$200 in Phoenix, $79 behind the stage

I understand the ticket prices. I don’t think they are unfair. It’s a market thing. I just wish I could afford to go

A good question for them, which apparently was not asked, is why did you laugh?

Too bad I can’t afford $400 for a ticket

Saw a guy hit one in my early days in Phoenix to win a pickup. A Suns player, can’t recall who, took the guy aside and took told him to take the cash instead

I would not watch the State of the Union under any circumstances. Reading about it will be bad enough
