I liked it better when the Cubs were on a win streak.

Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

T.hanks for doing the Wilson bit with Mr. Met

Got a notification from a medieval copyright lawyer

Nothing can prepare you for who's singing this National Anthem (via lpaulfranklin / TT)

Goooooooood morning to the first place Chicago Cubs.

Javy being Javy. Nothing like it.

Rory will win The Masters by six if he keeps his driver in the bag the rest of the day.

Watching Rory this round is like watching classic Phil. Playing roulette with the driver. He ought to hit 3W all day tomorrow.

So Rory is going to take us all for a ride today, eh?

Shout out to @cbssports.bsky.social for making me cry at the start of The Masters telecast.

last time a moonshot landed in San Diego

And while I'm posting about The Masters - read this one too:

I love a colorful story about quiet moments. This dispatch from Augusta by @kvanvalkenburg.bsky.social will stick with me for a long time.

Dawn & Geno both released statements about Friday’s incident today.

He always looks like someone told him they just replaced his coffee with Folgers crystals

It looks like “Big Ten Championship Game UCLA” has shown up today. What a performance.

Turns out, the man pictured on 24 different Sports Illustrated covers is getting a different view on the other side of the camera. “The learning curve is massive. There’s that old saying, be comfortable being uncomfortable. That was that whole week at Augusta.” 🎁 Free to read:

"I don’t really be on social media. I don’t be on Twitter, because that is a toxic app. So I couldn’t tell you, honestly, but I’m going to say: for athletes, if you play sports, or women’s sports, stay off Twitter. Because those people are crazy on there."

This might be my all-time favorite tweet:

The only April Fools story worth reading. www.si.com/mlb/2014/10/...

A couple of years ago, I made a conscious decision to stop caring about what SAS said. My sports consumption experience has been greatly improved.

Read this:

Wish Jake nothing but the best in this move to deeper waters. He’s an excellent coach and a terrific person. Go show the (new) Pac-12 what’s up.

March Madness never disappoints

Bennett Stirtz walked off the court for the final time as a Hawkeye player, completing a remarkable college career that started at Northwest Missouri State and ended with him cementing his status as one of the nation's best players.

Sad to see a run for the ages come to an end. But if you had told me the Hawkeyes would make the Elite 8 in year one? I’d have taken it all year long.

Kevin Harlan is exactly who you want calling something this absurd

I AM NOT SUPERSTITIOUS. However, if you all wouldn’t mind putting on whatever you were wearing Thursday night and sitting where you were Thursday night with whoever you were with Thursday night and eating whatever you ate Thursday night … it probably wouldn’t hurt.

Ben McCollum is one of the most detailed-oriented coaches in his game preparation. I talked to McCollum and those who know him best about to what that looks like in the final 24 hours before a game. Free link: www.nytimes.com/athletic/715...

another banner day for "if you didn't know sports were real, ESPN headlines would be crazy"

The Hawkeyes found a fun way to stay loose in between NCAA Tournament games 🏊‍♂️

This is like the craziest shot you’d try in a driveway game of HORSE.

As someone who has made this drive a bajillion times…I’m with Gary.

It looks like Neo switched sides

No. Definitely not. 🤣

“March is for dreamers.” — Alvaro Folgueiras And no one is waking up yet. Iowa advances to the Elite Eight!

An absolute Hawkeye legend in the making

Like playing with only four players?

I’m fine. Why do you ask?

Great shotmaking, solid defense, refs borderline invisible, what more can you ask for?

Matt is 100% on the money here. Keeping athlete comp data secret only benefits agents. It hurts taxpayers, hurts (on the aggregate) athletes, hurts management, hurts researchers, and perpetuates lousy policy www.nytimes.com/athletic/714...

Too good to not borrow from that other site: “The last two coaches to take Iowa to the Sweet 16”

If the Iowa women win tomorrow, I believe it will be the first time both Hawkeyes teams will be in the Sweet 16 since 1988.

As called by: Gary Dolphin on Iowa Hawkeyes radio Sean Kelley on Florida Gators radio John Sadak on Westwood One

Party like it's 1999, Iowa City.

ALL THE FEELS

Kids…Nebraska or Iowa will be 40 minutes away from a shot at the Final Four.

Best time of the year.

One of the best postgame on-court interviews in recent memory. “High-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we ain’t played nobody—we played somebody now. Nobody would play us. just like nobody would play Miami Ohio. But they gotta play us in this tournament.”
