As horse people and congresspeople strive anew for political solutions, the immigrants who sustain horse racing toil in searing fear and constrained mobility.

Murray State! It's an epitome of the era of fast roster-building, and just look at the humongous list of community colleges in the player bios. It's also an epitome of why we bother watching sports. #CollegeWorldSeries #CWS www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Road teams are 6-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals of the #NBAPlayoffs, meaning that to help out their teams, all home fans should sell their tickets to road fans

I just never would have imagined Roger Goodell would become such an accomplished, extraordinary hugger. #NFLDraft

I found myself hoping for a #Thunder stop at 131-80 because winning by fewer than 50 would have been so inappropriate.

He's a good lad.

Has any contestant an any sporting event ever showed so many turns of big guts and so many turns of human frailty, both things, back and forth, in the same competition? #TheMasters

The best place to watch this #MastersSunday and #Rory would be aboard a jet because airsickness bags are readily available

Queasiness. #Rory #Masters

Large bonus to Nicklaus 1975 footage on CBS: Vin!

If they had a #Masters prop bet that Rory McIlroy would have a two-shot lead, a one-shot deficit, a tie and a three-shot lead, all within the first four holes, that would have been a sound bet for those who bet.

Before its annual curtain dropped, @marchmadnesswbb.bsky.social provided one final example of how it’s a justly beloved wonder but also a mean old coot www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

Houston vs. Duke ended last evening approaching midnight, except that its life has only just begun. #FinalFour #Houston www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

In a culture known to practice a dislike for Duke, here's a Duke team where if you don't like #Duke, you don't like basketball.

With the eight seedings adding up to a puny 13, only one more than the minimum possible, is this the chalkiest #EliteEight since the seeding system began in 1985? No! It ties #MarchMadness 2007 with four No. 1s, three No. 2s and one No. 3.

As #Alabama sets the record for most threes in a #MarchMadness game (22), raise a glass to the fact the Loyola Marymount record stood for 35 Marches

With 15:59 left, Marc Sears has 7 threes and #RollTide has 14, too soon to talk about Madness men’s records except that talking about them involves maybe the most remarkable Madness score ever (from 1990): Loyola Marymount 149, Michigan 115 (21 LMU threes, Jeff Fryer 11)

The first foul of the Alabama-BYU game arrives with 12:40 left in the first half. We’ll pause now for a brief ceremony on which the refs get medals and cookies. #MarchMadness

The most meaningful part of #MarchMadness is the parade of March sadness. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

To absorb the zeitgeist of college sports in 2025, visit and listen to athletes in . . . . . . the McNeese locker room. Yeah. Their coach is leaving at a tricky time. Why are they pretty much the opposite of distracted? www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2025/...

To spend two weeks watching conference tournaments is to spend two weeks watching a protracted sequence of hugs. They hug because they made it. They hug because they didn't. One hug beat all.

A pre-#Oscars top 10 after seeing all 10 Best Picture nominees: 10. DUNE: PART TWO. A desert planet full of action-movie predictability — explosions, storytelling cliches, cool visuals, narrow evasions of death — and sand, so much sand, so very much sand that you might start hoping . . .

The @cfbplayoff.bsky.social final four is so disco.
