Preach!

I wish the NBA would go back to simpler times:

home team wears white; road team wears dark. Two main jerseys per team. One alternate that’s only seen 8-10 times a year, no playoffs.

Can’t stand when the home team wears dark colors and away wears white or when it’s two dark colors (like Suns x Thunder yesterday) or these wacky alternate jerseys.

I’m embarrassed to say how much this stuff annoys me

[Ari Eizen @AriEizen]

Wow! Who could have ever seen something like this happening?

Breaking: Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby is checking into a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction, sources told @PeteThamel.

He’s under NCAA investigation in the wake of the discovery of Sorsby making thousands of bets via a gambling app.

NEWS: Chaim Galbut has committed to Duquesne, where he'll aim to become the first observant Orthodox Jew to play four years of DI college basketball.

The 6'7 forward observes the Sabbath and was discovered on social media by Duquesne, throwing down dunks in a yarmulke.

No, sir. It will ALWAYS be Comerica Park!

“This will be the LAST year of Comerica Park.”

-Steve Davis Fifth Third Michigan region president told me they will rename the ballpark sometime in October or November.

List of athletes invested in Kalshi, per Front Office Sports.

This many active athletes — including a union president — investing in a sportsbook is a massive conflict of interest.

We are four weeks away from the NFL Draft!

Fans and analysts will spend the coming days trying to decipher what each team willdo.

Use my app to easily see how each GM likes to allocate their picks, and which notable players each team selected.

@ChaseDaniel Hi @ChaseDaniel, I'll ask again:
what would you say to the possible ramifications of putting a player in charge who was seemingly a part of whatever mess that was in place with Lloyd Howell, as reported by
@pablofindsout ?

[Theo Baker @tab_delete]

No—not a meaningful problem to be found here! Obviously! No issues detected!

@ChaseDaniel @ChaseDaniel what would you say to the possible remificstions of putting a player in charge who was seemingly a part of whatever mess was in place with Lloyd Howell, as reported by @pablofindsout?

[Jay King @ByJayKing]

This is probably a minority opinion but Isaiah Stewart shouldn’t get suspended at all. His teammate got punched in the face while being held back. Stewart did what he should have done.

[Ari Eizen @AriEizen]

Sooooooo what do you even pay CJ Stroud, @Jason_OTC?

I know he's got the 5th Yr option but what after that?

Darold/Baker money?

[Ari Eizen @AriEizen]

@DannyBKelly @craighorlbeck he's trying to steal your idea!!

[Gene Steratore @GeneSteratore]

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time.

When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame.

For a catch:

A) Secure control of the ball ✅
B) Two feet down in bounds ✅
C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule:

If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds.

Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

That's former Detroit Piston Luka Garza to you!

[Marc D'Amico @Marc_DAmico]

Luka Garza is the stretch big no one knew existed before this season. He's now shooting exactly 50% from 3-point range this season.
