What a story. I remember being excited to see what he could do at UVA, and then after 1 year he was gone. Hope he wins the Heisman & who knows, maybe a natty while he's at it. www.espn.com/college-foot...

Took me a minute (emotionally & technogically) to get this together, but RIP Todd Snider. Here's my interview with him in 2019. 🙏🏼 youtu.be/DE6OY2sfKi8?...

Sad state of affairs when so much media tries so hard to convince us all these meh NFL QBs/teams are worth watching. The whole tri-state area knows the Giants & Jets 🦨. Even w/ the nickname, division title for 1st time in forever, 60 (!) HRs + several tight races & MLB drama is an afterthought

But there are non-P5 teams that HAVE to win 3 games in 3 days to get to Field of 68, even if they dominate their league for 3 months. A bubble tourney the weekend before Big Dance is the way to go. Imagine 16-32 win or go home games instead of 32 $$ grab conf tourneys www.espn.com/mens-college...

Has anybody ever won an NBA title with only 2 guys over 6'6? Asking for a friend #NBAFinals

History made by Bob Pollard's alma mater! 1st #1 national seed (Vandy) to not make it to regional final. Go Raiders! www.espn.com/college-base...

Giannis was the 15th pick, SGA was the 11th pick (and got traded twice). Luka was the 3rd pick & got traded for a 6'1 guy who's somehow even worse on D. Jokic was the 41st (!) pick. Halliburton was the 12th pick & got traded. Best of luck to all picking unknown 18-20-yr-olds in the 2025 #nbadraft!

I still say Zak-Dhani-Sean-James would be fun tour, even if they play a bunch of originals and/or non-Beatle covers and/or like 1 Fab 4 tune a night. NY, LA, London, Paris, Tokyo. 5 gigs, that's it. Call it the Fam Four. Make a doc out of it. Thank you and good night... variety.com/2025/music/n...

NBA Playoffs, conspiracy edition lol: League superglad LA-GS is not a 1st rnd series, will be 2nd rnd once they both win 4 games. OKC should beat DEN or LAC but might not LA vs DEN/LAC/OKC will yield high drama CLE-BOS is only acceptable East outcome Get ready for Lakers-Celtics Vol. 13

I'm sorry but whoever says Packline D & wearing down your opponent by taking :29 to then get great shots on offense (aka Tony Bennett ball) is hard to watch compared to whatever that rugby match I just watched was...A for effort, D for execution. #MarchMadness #FinalFour 24% on 3s, 36.9% on 2s 😵

Only 7 Wooden Award winners since the 1st one in 1977 have won it all (men's college bball). That's 7/48 (14.58%), not counting 2020 #MarchMadness #FinalFour 2 in the 80s, 2 in the 90s, 1 in the 00s, 2 in the 10s, 0 so far in 20s.

The only times Houston has given up 70+ this year: L to Auburn L to Alabama L to SD State Crazy 2 OT W at KU hitting 2 3s in final :08 of 1st OT L to TX Tech (OT) W vs Gonzaga in 2nd round (Zags finish on 11-5 run down 11 last 4 min) Duke held to 67 tonight 👀 #FinalFour

I know the ultimate goal is to get primetime ratings $$ on the West Coast, but it's almost 1am EST. Non-gamblers East of Purdue aren't watching this. How's that East coast ad $ after midnight? Start earlier so hoops fans of all ages can see it live #MarchMadness

So much for a national TV return to Miami. 5 starters making $90 mil combined have 2 points each while bench scores 30 in about the same amount of minutes. That's some Championship mettle! Looks like that Jimmy B (and Luka for Lakers too) shine is wearing off... #NBA

This tournament has to have some kind of record for margin of victory. Hardly any under 8 points! #MarchMadness

30 for 30 voice: What if I told you 1 nine-seed, 1 ten, 1 eleven & 1 twelve would win today? No 13s, 14s, 15s or 16s. I don't feel like my bracket % would be much better lol #MarchMadness I actually picked the 9 & 10 in most of my brackets & go #Drake all the way now!

Nothing says #MarchMadness like turning off the game of the team for whom you've rooted all year (and most of the last 35 years) before halftime 🙄 🤬

#Bracketologists (whose argument keeps them in biz btw) say that Conf Tourneys are the chance for bubble teams to win their way in to #MarchMadness. The last 32 spots of 64 could easily have an elimination tourney this wknd instead. Injuries to Flagg & Mizzou's Mitchell in meaningless games stink.

How do you know it's March? The 2 teams I root for (UVA & Mizzou) both lost, played great 1st halves, lousy 2nd halves. Only VA teams to win were VCU, VT & ODU Liberty, GMU, Norfolk St, Richmond, Hampton, VMI, JMU & William & Mary all lost. 4 of those are either 1st or 2nd in their league. #cbb

Saw this on Good Morning America this morning. What a great use of taxpayer $$ Also just watched God + Country this morning, highly recommend (on Peacock, Tubi & more...for now) abcnews.go.com/US/criminal-...

Ty Jerome +34 in 21 minutes. De'Andre Hunter +21 in 29 minutes. In Boston. Got down 25-3 to start. Tatum had 46, Brown had 37, Cs lose by 7. #NBA Love Hauser (another UVA Hoo) too, but why is he guarding Mitchell late instead of...anyone else? Jrue (out tonight) is their glue.

Huh? It's your guy (Curry) who started all this. Jack it up from any/everywhere. Stick your butt out & call it a "screen." Would anybody know DG or care what he says if he had been drafted by Charlotte? This is like Brady bemoaning bubble screens & pick plays 🙄 #nba www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

@jessewellesbsky0.bsky.social hittin the big time www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/a...

Great job by my friend & neighbor Ryan on this Tony Bennett tribute piece shown yesterday at the JPJ halftime ceremony (they had to cut the joy part in the middle for time I guess): www.instagram.com/reel/DF03-vP...

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers 2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

Has #ESPNGameday ever gone somewhere that's lost 3 in a row? The ISU game isn't even on a network, it's ESPN+! Shoulda gone to #Mizzou (0 #SEC Ws last yr, Top 15 this yr w/ 4 Top 16 Ws) or even AZ who has been on 🔥 Those 2 host 2 of the 3 both-teams-ranked matchups today #MIZ

That sure was a lotta hoops (pun intended) to jump thru just to get...Jimmy Butler?? OKC with all the young dudes just sittin at home laughing at these play-in teams scrambling for old disgruntled dudes 😂 #nba

Basketball's a funny game. One day you're taking Dallas to the Finals, the next, you're a Laker. One day, you're barely able to get to 60, then your 2nd leading scorer gets hurt & U(VA) score 73+ 3 games in a row, 2 of which you win, tonight blowing out a bubble team on the road #ACC #GoHoos

I think I'd go with "lengthy" over "insane" #alliteration but yay for Eddie Vedder & Jack White & Devo 😎 www.nbc.com/nbc-insider/...

Tonight marks the first time the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were both nominated at the same Grammy ceremony I bet they both win I finally saw The Stones live this past summer in Vancouver Have seen Sir Paul 3x in the past 15 yrs or so #GeezersFTW

Good recap. I made it til Katy Perry, 3+ hours in, so I missed the last NINE acts (including another Nirvana reunion!?) This thing must've gone like 6 hours...hopefully it'll be on streaming somewhere after the fact. Grammys have a tough act to follow #fireaidLA www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Men's #CBB Ws vs AP ranked teams by conference: #SEC - 46 (10 ranked of 16) #Big10 - 30 (5 ranked of 18) #Big12 - 23 (4 ranked of 16) #BigEast - 11 (3 ranked of 11) #ACC - 5 (2 ranked of 18) #MWC - 5 (0 ranked of 11) #AAC - 4 (1 ranked of 13) #A10 - 2 (0 ranked of 15)

I feel bad for Bills fans, but lbr: only played 5 playoff teams in reg season. Gave up 35 L to Ravens, 23 L to Texans, 21 W vs KC, 44 L to Rams, 42 W vs Lions. Denver had a rookie QB, Ravens faceplanted a bunch & never punted last week. KC 7-1 in games w/ starters vs playoff teams, avg ppg 18

@kallao.bsky.social poses an interesting question on @worldcafe.bsky.social : Top 5 rock bands from the past 30 years (which eliminates most of my beloved grunge heh). 1st thoughts are: #Spoon (1st album 96), #MyMorningJacket (99 debut), #WhiteStripes (99), #TVontheRadio (03), #TheHives (97) 🤘🎸

Dead Air 4 is THIS Saturday! veermag.com/2025/01/grat...

Losing to Haith & Shedrick & a Texas team that prob won't make tournament & only scored 61 hurts. So much for being ranked #MIZ
