I have bad news for all the golfers planning on heading to Toronto for the #CanadianOpen next week. You’re too late. It’s underway. The AI overview is on it.
The New York Knicks have outscored their opponents by 272 points in the past 12 games
That's the best 12-game stretch from any team in NBA history, regular season or playoffs
@BobFuton it is late career Chris Paul, rookie Dirk, Miami Heat Shaq.
The 2006-07 Heat went 44-38 with Dwyane Wade + 34-year old Shaq, 36-year old Mourning, and 38-year old Gary Payton.
I prefer to play 82-0 as "41-41," the quest to build as famous/recognizable of a lineup as possible that goes exactly 41-41 and limps into the playoffs as the 8 seed.
How good / bad of a team can you build?
I just pulled this one off
@JustinMacmahan I think it's actually more fun if you use it to try to build famous teams with a lineup casual fans would recognize, that go as close to 41-41 as possible and limp into the 8 seed.
I made this one a little too bad.
@sportsrapport I can get to the KC games in 20 minutes if prices are down but am also perfectly fine watching on TV if they want to try to maintain these prices.
Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium is set to trade gorillas with Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo.
Frankie, Pittsburgh’s 7-year-old male western lowland gorilla, will head to Boston, and in exchange, Boston will send 33-year-old Little Joe the silverback @TribLIVE 🦍

@ChaseDaniel You should be happy the AI isn’t overtaking us in making sports debate lists. We all remember when Kurt Warner won a Super Bowl and then became a Heisman candidate.
Hey, my daughter made the Top 5 girls soccer highlights on @Hudl for April, even if she is not identified correctly.
That’s @harper_lisk of @BSHSWSoccer with the save at #2!

@tsnmike@Mikeysurf@MarchMadnessMBB Now there's about a day of turn around for people to review the brackets on Monday and have to make picks by Tuesday morning? A segment just won't bother if it is more complicated. Or, they get ignored but it lessens the specialness of that Thursday to have full days before.
@tsnmike@Mikeysurf@MarchMadnessMBB As a company that has products related to NCAA bracket contests, this is mildly concerning. Brackets drive interest from casual fans. I would say the majority of pools, not all, ignore the "First Four." But turning it into a bunch of games starting early on Tue/Wed creates risk.
@SethBurn Almost certainly. But someone there should realize that Texas vs. Stephen F. Austin is actually a more compelling matchup for fans than Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia (and Texas would be deciding that was their best path vs relying on committee).
The worst possible thing the NCAA can do with the 76-team field and automatically just put in the next teams down, so we get 45 at-larges ending at an uninspiring 18-14 with a losing conference record.
So that's probably what will happen. But I have an idea to make it exciting.
This creates some drama, and intrigue. Will a bubble team choose to play their way in H2H on Saturday, or take their chances with the committee?
It creates some incentives for some mid-majors to move their title games up (the Saturday ones get swallowed up by high major games).
Seeding is based on NET ranking (best NET of the group vs. lowest, etc.) with only exceptions being swaps to avoid conference rematches.
The matchups are set by 9 am ET Friday, teams travel and play starting at noon on Saturday.
