GREETINGS FROM THE SKY

Winners and losers from USMNT training camp: Freese, Pulisic, Pochettino, saxophones and hydration breaks …

USMNT’s last group-stage game will be against Turkey.

I will say again: He needs help.

Imagine telling an 11-year-old girl she can’t compete b/c she has a condition called DSD. Or making accepting discrimination the price all women must pay to compete. When people say transphobia hurts all women, this is what is meant. And the IOC did it willingly.

This seems kinda bad

Thank you, @nrarmour.bsky.social. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A must read:

After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations. She accepted three. One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history. www.wsj.com/economy/wnba...

Love that he did this in front of Bruce Pearl

A homecoming moment for Catarina Macario 🌊🌴

Tiger Woods is out of jail and headed for more uncertainty.

San Diego finally gets to say hello to Catarina 👋

Illinois is headed to the Final Four for the first time since 2005. Two incredibly impressive performances in Houston & a well-deserved trip to Indy for Brad Underwood and co.

The U.S. men's national team fell 5-2 to Belgium in an international friendly at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Only two coaches have taken their teams to the Elite Eight each of the last three seasons. Duke’s Jon Scheyer and … Rick Barnes. So much for that narrative Barnes can’t win in March.

WOOF

Tiger Woods needs help. Having already exhausted his second chances, this crash has to be his last.

My apologies, Big Ten. I was wrong to doubt you.

In case anyone was wondering, Kim Mulkey made it pretty clear in her postgame press conference that she is not retiring. #ncaaW

My apologies, Big Ten. I was wrong to doubt you.

Tip times for Sunday:

Tiger Woods needs help. Having already exhausted his second chances, this crash has to be his last.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Lindsey Vonn shared more details of her crash and her recovery. And whether she’s done skiing.

real mad king stuff

This isn’t a surprise, but it’s still bullshit. If the science was actually there, the IOC would provide it. That they don’t says everything.

This is, to put it mildly, bullshit. And I’m sure the IOC will be only too happy to say what this “science” is x.com/iocmedia/sta...

Updated story on Mikaela Shiffrin capping her spectacular season with her sixth, and most hard-fought, overall title.

Early story on Mikaela Shiffrin winning her sixth overall title.

And she’s done it! Mikaela Shiffrin wins sixth overall title, tying record set by Annemarie Moser-Proll. What a season Shiffrin has had. Olympic gold, record nine wins in slalom, season slalom title and now the overall.

Last race of the season! Paula Moltzan starts sixth in the GS tomorrow and Mikaela Shiffrin is right behind her at seven. Emma Aicher, the only one with a chance of catching Shiffrin for the overall title, starts 16th. Runs are at 4:30 and 7:30 am ET.

Mikaela Shiffrin continues to outdo herself. Updated story on Shiffrin winning her ninth World Cup slalom race this season, a record for a single discipline.

BRAND NEW SHOW ALERT 🚨 Introducing, The Captain with Lindsey Heaps! Every month, Lindsey and Sam will share World Cup memories, life updates, and insight and stories only Lindsey can share as the USWNT prepares for the 2027 World Cup 🫡

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo apologized after making a joke about CTE. But something good can come from the attention on Skattebo's comments.

Quick story on Mikaela Shiffrin setting the single-season mark with her 9th World Cup slalom win. And that doesn’t include her Olympic win!

Hot damn. Mikaela Shiffrin has a 1:10 lead after the first run at the World Cup finals. Paula Moltzan is third and Emma Aicher, who is chasing Shiffrin for the overall title, is fourth. Second runner 8:30 am ET.

Paula Moltzan starts fifth and Mikaela Shiffrin sixth in the slalom race at the World Cup finals tomorrow. Emma Aicher, who has cut Shiffrin’s lead to just 45 points in the overall race, starts fourth. Shiffrin has already won the season slalom title.

The more we talk about this, the better for athletes it will be. Grateful to Mikaela Shiffrin and her team and Simone Biles for talking to me about the mental preparation for and at the Olympics and why it’s so critical.

For the second year in a row, and fifth time since 2019, Wisconsin is the NCAA champion. What a way to go out for Caroline Harvey and Laila Edwards.

I did not have Iowa being a chaos agent in the NCAA men’s tournament. But I’m here for it.

Allll this @rexhuppke.bsky.social

Oooh, the World Cup overall race is TIGHT. Mikaela Shiffrin’s lead in the overall is down to 45 points over Germany’s Emma Aicher. Two races to go, including the slalom, Shiffrin’s specialty.

Notre Dame coach Niele Ivey made the right call in opting for rest over a potential quadruple-double for star point guard Hannah Hidalgo. At this point in the year, wins are all that matter.

“I guess this is just where I live right now.” Olympic champion Breezy Johnson caps the best season of her career with a second-place finish at the World Cup finals.

This truly is a transformational deal. The players knew their worth and held out for it.

“Watching my tax dollars go to fund a war I didn’t ask for, that’s being conducted for reasons not yet explained, is indeed a sacrifice. And asking for another $200 billion while Americans struggle is bold.” Allllll this, @rexhuppke

Give FIFA its due. Its new requirement that teams playing in its women’s tournaments have two female staff members is a very good thing.

Nebraska gets its first men’s tournament win in made-for-TV fashion, High Point strikes a blow for the little guys, VCU pulls off a comeback for the ages and Duke almost loses. March Madness, days like today are why we can’t quit you.
