I confess I’m not entirely up on cyclist fashion.

Man. Finally we catch a break.

Now we get Arizona tomorrow.

Truly the content BlueSky was intended for.

Journalists sigh in relief at not being mentioned.

That's inevitable with new tech. It'll screw up, we'll point and laugh, and then they'll fix the bugs and keep using it.

College might not use it much but I guarantee you the NBA will adopt this sooner than later. They've already used it at the All-Star Game.

I like the idea of the LED court in theory. But the fact that these are, at their very base, TV screens is causing a lot of problems with reflection at the angle the main camera is looking at it.

I'm sure it looks cool live but on TV it looks a bit dull.

It's a work in progress for sure.

Early observations on UCF:
- Riley started cold but that dunk helped.
- Cincy is making Themus' life absolutely miserable.
- Cincy started hot but our close-outs improved after the first timeout.
- Thiam wants to end us in the worst way.

Joe Lunardi on UCF’s bubble stakes today vs. Cincinnati:

Every once in a while it’s nice to be reminded of what sports really should be about

I don't want to hear anyone complaining about coaches not wearing suits "like they did back before COVID."

You're just mad about the lack of style, not professionalism.

That is AWESOME

Starting a war because there’s nothing good on TV tonight. 😑

Or, hear me out, he might run for President.

Honest question:

Where is the person in the presser who asks, "When you say 'no stupid rules of engagement,' do you mean you only have smart rules of engagement, or do you mean that all rules of engagement are stupid?"

Shout-out to the Pulaski Skyway!

Every day is #PulaskiDay if you have to drive between Newark and Jersey City.

a basketball game between duke and ucf is going on ALT: a basketball game between duke and ucf is going on

Someone one day is going to do an AI-generated edit of that final play where the ball goes in and I'm just going to accept that as the reality out of emotional self-preservation.

I believe the proper term is Grammaticae. ;)

Also shout-out to Matt and Chris Bahr, Daniel and Anders Carlson, and Charlie and Pete Gogolak, without whom we may not have had the merger.

So this is *not* the first time an F-15 has been shot down.

Two were knocked out on the first night of the Gulf War in 1991 by Iraq (one AAA, one SAM).

Also since these were apparently friendly-fire anti-aircraft incidents, the Eagle's *air-to-air* combat record remains unblemished.

Lunardi is an absolute sicko.

The Targeting rule does not have to be as difficult as they're making it.

First, fix the vocab.
Spearing: Aiming your head at opponent
Targeting: Aiming any part of yourself at your opponent's head

Penalties:
1st flag: 15 yards/warning
2nd flag *on the team*: Ejection, suspension next game.

Professionalism.

Should be kind of an easy ask from (checks notes) professionals.

I agree (of course)!

I also think there’s a non-zero number of college basketball literati who for some reason think we’re still in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Hold up.

We walk into Provo for an 11 p.m. ET tip as 14.5-point dogs, without our leading scorer, proceed to shoot the lights out, out-rebound them, drop 97, lead by as much as 36, are now 20-7 and 9-6 in the toughest conference in America, and suddenly the story is, “Well actually, BYU is bad”?

🤬

Maybe I’m alone but to me it’s not sadness or shame but more like “Jiminy Christmas, grow the F up already you goons.”

…Euphemistically speaking.

I’m a guy who has gotten where he is in sports thanks almost entirely to women’s sports.

It’s infuriating because I naively thought we were past this but it persists.

Tie Domi.

Might rip the head right off with his bare hands soon as he gets it.

Honorable mention for the visual alone: Mike Ricci

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

I’m coming in with Griddy.

Look, the USA Hockey team is full of guys who I think are totally full of crap outside of hockey.
But I root for the US because I still naively believe the things I was taught about it as a kid.
And I also love the Olympics because it’s literally the last joyful thing the world comes together to do.
