We're going to go fast today — to paraphrase our man Eazy E, let's go all quick, our style as a juvenile, ran with a gang, slang in the meanwhile.
Gang, it's been an excellent week that has been filled with high-quality conversations. Take a bow.
We have a soft spot for a slew sports-related things.
Too much to get to today to waste time with small talk and introductions.
OK, we're off and running into June. We're staring at the U.S. Open, and hold on to your hats, but we're something like eight weeks from the start of high school football in Tennessee.
Guys, there’s a bunch to get to after a busy weekend.
Gang, the time keeps flying, and it was another strong week.
We have a ton to cover, so let's drop the formalities and do work.
Gang, remember Friday's mailbag. We have a few open spots.
Wow, talk about starting the week with a flurry. Nice job yesterday gang.
Morning. Hope the weekend treated you as well as you deserved.
Gang, great week, and thanks for all the feedback.
Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals is tonight between the Pacers and the Heat. The lines are starting to form, and the stakes are supreme with the series tied at 2.
Gang, remember Friday's mailbag and how about this sunshine, huh? Was that a whistle? Did Joey 'Bats' Crawford just call an illegal screen on LeBron for trying to get some grapefruit for breakfast?
Gang, welcome to the sneaky great part of a holiday week — Tuesday feeling like Monday. Well, that's good for all of us other than Todd962 and his hangover, which may be so big that he had to carry it to work today. Hi Todd and hi Todd's hangover — thanks for reading.
OK, you know the drill. We normally have five things at 10 a.m. — the 5-at-10, pretty cleve huh?
Thanks for another great week.
Gang, we have a couple of open mailbag slots, so if you have a question, shoot. If not, well, read and comment and enjoy the sunshine. (Side note: If you were complaining about the rain or the cold snap, then you can't complain about the heat until at least mid-June. As Uncle Buck would say, "That's in the books." Well, unless you are over 60, complain about how the Braves announcers are not as good as Skip Caray and eat lunch around the time you're reading the 5-at-10. Then you have earned the right to complain about almost anything, so get your gripe on.)
Remember Friday's mailbag, and we apologize for the web malfunctions from Tuesday. It's like that, and that's the way it is.
We're back. We've de-sanded, re-set our mini-golf handicap and amazingly have very little color to show for our trip to the Gulf, but it was a world of fun.
NAVARRE BEACH, Fla. -- The 5-at-10 has taken the show on the road.

Gang, another stellar week. We're moving quickly this morning because the 5-at-10 clan is heading South for a week. So, next week will be an abbreviated 5-at-10 with top-5 lists and such. If you have a specific top-5 list you'd like to see, send it along.
Gang, remember the Friday mailbag and post any questions in the comments, email the sports editor at jgreeson@timesfreepress.com or send them along the Twitter (@jgreesontfp) if you're so inclined.
From the "Talks too much" studios, we believe that children are the future, teach them well and let them lead the way.
From the "Talks too much" studios, if you bring the pain, we'll bring the pain reliever.
Hope you managed to stay dry this weekend. And if you did, thanks for reading from whatever area outside of the South from which you are reading.
I love these lists. Lists of stat leaders, lists of the all-time bests and the all-time worsts.
Before we get to the Friday Mailbag, we offer a shout out to Uptown Hugh Brown, who we met last night at T-Ball and who offered the clear 5-at-10 high sign of "Don't cost nothin'" in between innings. Well-played, sir, well-played indeed.
As if they needed an extra advantages, the Miami Heat are sitting and resting and waiting for the rest of the Eastern Conference to get done with the slow dance that has become round 1. So, too are the San Antonio Spurs. Each team is the favorite to get to the NBA Finals.
5-at-10: Hudson's place, SEC QBs, a Derby contest to win stuff
OK, we're committed to admitting that there is more to sports than the draft. Allegedly.
We're wearing black today. The draft is done. Sigh.
Wow, it's been a great week, capped by a crazy, history-making first round of the NFL draft. We got inspired and played on The Twitter (@jgreesontfp) last night during the draft. We likely will do some more of that again tonight.
Since this is a holiday and all, we appreciate you checking in since today really is about family and freedom and expressing the joy and celebration of a day of this merit and being with people you love.
It's here and it's all happening.
It's here and it's all happening. We're back on the radio today at 1 p.m. with David Paschall on ESPN 105.1. We're going to have UTC football coach Russ Huesman in studio today at the 1 o'clock hour to get things going.
Hope your weekend was as good as ours. Great weather. The T-Ball Bulls delivered another fine performance. We finished writing a book. Planted some hydrangeas. Grilled some red meat.
Gang, great week. Simply excellent. From the Masters to the spring games to the draft, it's here.
It's here. It's all happening. Please remember the mailbag for Friday, we have a spot or three open as we speak.
Hey gang, remember Friday's mailbag and feel free to offer any ideas for the NFL draft contest. We love the draft; you know this.
Well, we've done exactly one radio show. We believe it went pretty well, and if you missed the debut, David Paschall and the sports editor are going to go again today at 1 p.m. on ESPN 105.1 FM here in town. The call-in number is 648-1051, if you want to chat. Radio activity... we like that.
Wow, what a great finish to the Masters, huh? Did anyone else feel like the first 2/3 of Sunday's broadcast was a little slow and we were headed for a three-shot Angel Cabrera win in which every other contender fell back?
AUGUSTA, Ga. — If you watched the final round of the Masters, three things became ever-clear by Sunday night.
