ESPN went out of their way to produce an in-studio Pre-Game & Halftime show for the #UFL playoffs, and they knocked it out of the park.

The United Bowl production on ABC was especially impressive:

- Roddy Jones as the primary analyst was an excellent choice, he's called a plethora of spring games over the years, his knowledge of this space was on full display
- Bringing in Renegades HC Rick Neuheisel, who has tons of media experience, brought it to another level. That chemistry w/ Roddy and insight was tremendous, Rick is made for the camera

Hope we see ESPN bring this back next season. It looked, sounded, and felt very professional.

The letter adds: “If Texas Tech will not do the right thing, the Big 12 should.” Drummond argues the injunction granted to Sorsby applies only to the NCAA and “does not impede the Big 12 from suspending Sorsby”

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

NEWS: The Oklahoma Attorney General's office issued a rebuttal letter to the Texas AG's office's letter to the Big 12. Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond says that the idea that Big 12 may not sanction its members is “facially absurd” and says Texas Tech’s actions have “constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football.” Per me and @max_olson.

They can do all the things they discuss: support/rehab/be around teammates/coaches, etc. while at same time abiding by NCAA, Conference and (I would think) school rules with consequences of ineligibility for what he did.
But alas, he's their starting quarterback.

Oklahoma attorney general sends a letter to the Big 12 urging the league to sanction Texas Tech.

"It's sickening that if you don't hear what you like, you can just go to your local judge and find the answer that you want. I just don't know where this ends."

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

No one cares at all about Texas Tech

They don’t want dudes who gambled on their sport to be able to play. Texas Tech is delusional

[Dan Wetzel @DanWetzel]

Everyone wants Texas Tech to “do the right thing.”

This is college sports, when has that ever been a thing?

Focus on ending judicial interference rather than bash the Red Raiders for doing what almost everyone else would do (or has done).

Silly me, I thought Campbell wanted college sports to have antitrust *protection*

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Our news story updated with the Big Ten details -- the league will discuss not scheduling Texas Tech any longer in the regular season, per sources. https://t.co/d608PyVb60

"If you're gonna treat it like it's an addiction, and you're gonna be serious about this, then be serious about this! Addicts don’t get fixed... throwing 3 touchdown passes is not gonna fix whatever is bothering Brendan Sorsby."

If Martin Road is part of your daily drive, plan for delays beginning June 8. Redstone's Directorate of Public Works is tentatively scheduled to begin resurfacing Martin Road from Rideout Road to Gate 7, along with Aerobee, Honest John, Redeye and Snooper roads.

Postgame: AJ McCarron on speeches:

“I don't care if you're Coach Saban or Lombardi, a speech doesn't do anything for a player. I mean, just gets them focused up on little things, but I'm not amping these guys to go play. I mean, we're grown men. We all get paid to do a job.”

@GSXstage1 @RepoleStable Tampa was so successful in the USFL XFL UFL.... I'll wait there attendant sucked

[Chipper Jones @RealCJ10]

Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country.
He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’
We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express.
My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!

🚨 SAGE STEELE BLASTS DISNEY AFTER KIMMEL CALLED MELANIA AN “EXPECTING WIDOW” JUST 48 HOURS BEFORE THE WHCD SHOOTING 🚨

“They punished ME for speaking out… but Jimmy Kimmel keeps pushing hateful rhetoric?” — @sagesteele

Steele says Disney has a DOUBLE STANDARD—and a chance to fix it.

“New CEO… new opportunity to say ENOUGH is enough.”

Will Disney FINALLY act?

[James Larsen @JamesLarsenPFN]

This is actually an absurd stat-line.

The Birmingham #Stallions cannot play a complete football game and that's evident.

Defense was terrible tonight.
