I have a great degree of professional appreciation for @jonathanliew.bsky.social and even if you’re not aware of the shameful state of English cricket, surely you can appreciate this kicker: “In the end, after all, a country gets the cricket team it deserves.” www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Against all odds, I found myself unusually focused on the late minutes (and overtime) of Miami-Kent State last night.

This is the opposite of that Extremely Baseball Guy insisting he would never watch hockey on his own network.

when you show me your posts in the replies

Saw through that guy years ago.

Look at my man @gamedaycharlie.bsky.social getting the star treatment from Seth Davis

Dear Lord, same some for April, man.

Really remarkable how the Overton window has shifted on collective bargaining in college sports. Only a year or two ago, coaches and ADs who saw it as a solution wouldn’t say so publicly. Now Bubba Cunningham and Will Wade, among others, are openly in favor. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

One of these guys is still around. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e...

Every week, I would say, “Tell me again, Darren, about the time you shot yourself in the ass during the ACC tournament during a Wake Forest-Maryland game.” (This is from a 2013 ESPN story on John Harbaugh’s weekly routine.)

The college hoops tour of the 312 continues at Loyola, where the Ramblers are hosting George Mason without their injured starting backcourt. The ACC is represented tonight by referee Bill Covington Jr. and George Mason AD Marvin Lewis, who was on GT’s 2004 Final Four team.

Collectively hating on Aaron Rodgers was the most sports juice Bluesky has had since that World Series game. Unlike his career, let’s keep it going.

Amazing no-call. You’ll NEVER GUESS who was wide open to score the winner.

Retiring Segei Fedorov’s jersey with the Hurricanes in town is exactly the kind of thing Mike Ilitch would have done to stick it to Peter Karmanos. Ilitch died even betore Pete sold the team, so you really have to respect the ongoing commitment to the bit.

Shadowboxing the apocalypse and wandering the land RIP

Probably not going to watch “Larry King’s Prostate” — especially since I missed the first 20 minutes and might not be able to keep up with the plot.

No disrespect intended toward the guys wearing the Guardian Caps but they still look like this.

They had offers for KK this summer but didn't want to give up a center without adding one. The apparent new willingness to move him suggests they've seen enough of Stankoven down the middle (plus the addition of Philp). The whole KK thing was a bold effort worth trying. Change of scenery may help.

The “For You” feed really does show you what you want to see.

Play for ACC title ❌ Play for national title ✅ It just means more!

Legit happy for Freddie. Always found him tl be a good dude who feels things deep and two months is a long time to go without positive reinforcement.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Can we not get one real frame of the ball leaving the shooter’s hands in the Auburn game? Even the studio crew was like “What’s going on?”

Getting a college hoops fix at DePaul-Georgetown tonight. You could not get a ticket to this game when I was a kid, Big John vs Joey Meyer at the Rosemont Horizon. New building is a little bit nicer. Lots of ACC folks in the house: Chris Spatola, Jeff Battle, Jason Williford…

Very happy for my guys, both of whom are deserving first-time winners.

Your ACC presidents were so preoccupied with whether they could take SMU’s money, they didn’t stop to think if they should take SMU’s money.

different side to @NDmbb coach Micah Shrewsberry. Late Friday, we saw the lunatic fringe side. Even though he had his reasons, it was wrong. Here: tinyurl.com/4nbkh6jn

Cal - Notre Dame is bizarre right now: Cal hit a 3 to tie and got the foul, then had the basket taken away for the foul on the floor, then reversed again to count the basket + 1. Cal hit the FT to take a 1 point lead

YIKES

Look, this is why the larger playoff is bad. You get plucky little teams like Alabama who have no place being on the same field as a giant of college football like Indiana.

Texas Tech loves giving stuff away: NIL money, political contributions, the football, winnable CFP games.

“Any money in those…” “Pokemon cards?There’s some.” “Don’t let him fool you. There’s boatloads. If you can move them. But you can’t.” “My fence seemed confident enough.” “Dealing in cash, you don’t need a fence.” “Some people lack vision.” “Probably everybody in cell block E.”

With a DWhitt-Lorenzo Charles tribute to force a third OT

Time to watch the traditional Home of the ACC Champion, the Sun Bowl.

Going to be an exciting second half of ACC basketb…wait, never mind.

Witnessed a Teuvo Teravainen goal tonight ✅

Hey I know that dude.

“I’m not Santa” “Then who are you?”

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

UNC trustees sharing contacts via text

If the UNC boosters really want to be like an SEC school, paying $30 million to fire your coach and landing on Bobby Petrino IS how half that league operates, the half that loses 42-7 to Bama every year. And another finger curls on the monkey paw.

Via @liamjscott.bsky.social at the other site here’s the full email from 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi. She’s putting her career on the line by fighting here. And she’s fighting for all of us.

Successfully installed a 32-element Ikea closet system today. Celebrated by finishing what was left of Friday night’s very good Syrah. No one can tell me anything right now.

LOL "Bari killed this meticulous story because it was unfavorable to the Trump administration" is literally the story they're giving to their stenographer

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
