@PJ_Mooney @NSideTerritory @FoulTerritoryTV @sahadevsharma At this point, what is the biggest thing standing between the Cubs and a legitimate World Series run: the bullpen, the lack of a true ace, or that the offense is too dependent on a handful of players who aren't performing?

[Todd ⚾️🐻🦌 @CubsCentral08]

The amount of Cubs pitchers on the IL in the system is ... well, you name it @OutOfTheVines

[Tyler Madsen @JustTylerMadsen]

@KOMUMatt Appreciate you being up front, honest & not clickbaity. Would have been easy for you to lean in to us being "orange" on Wednesday and not actually add your own forecasting + thoughts *at this time* for where it's likely to be worst. Thanks!

[Tyler Madsen @JustTylerMadsen]

It's actually made the radio broadcasts nearly unlistenable. Which is disappointing because there's little in sports that's better than listening to a baseball game on the radio. Have listened to many other teams and their broadcasts aren't like that. Not to that level.

Has anyone ever counted the number of ad reads Pat, Ron, & Zach are forced to read over the course of a game?

The Big 12 widely expands the Brendan Sorsby legal saga with a federal suit against Texas AG Ken Paxton + Texas Tech.

This is no longer a Lubbock County matter.

It’s now a national one, with a conference stressing it’s not the NCAA.

I analyze the case: https://t.co/wQnYyyKyDo.

Spain (2.64) 0-0 (0.28) Cape Verde

[Tyler Madsen @JustTylerMadsen]

A scoreless win for Cape Verde.

Absolutely incredible!

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Splitter succeeds Billy Donovan as the Bulls' coach after stepping into the head job and excelling in Portland last season.

The AlexT/LilJon live DJ ride is #1.

The Denis Eminem ride is a very close second.

What's the first Peloton class you recommend to a friend?

@KOMUMatt I hate being in a position to root *against* the sunshine 😂 cc: @kesley_wx

The USMNT has just scored 3 goals against a team that only allowed 6 in WCQ under Alfaro.

Their movement is causing all kinds of problems, making Paraguay look pedestrian. I can't stress enough how impressive they are 45 minutes in. #USMNT

[OptaJack⚽️ @OptaJack]

83 - Chris Richards completed all 83 passes he attempted for the #USMNT against Paraguay, the most passes with a 100 percent accuracy rate by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966.

Perfection.

Inject this finish into our veins 🇺🇸

Hot damn. #USA

@KOMUMatt Supposed to have youth baseball in JCMO at 7? City hasn’t called them yet but doesn’t seem like a great idea?

[Tyler Madsen @JustTylerMadsen]

That’s 2-time @TrumanBaseball letter winner Eric Schmitt making the play.

As a veteran Texas litigator who has fought my fair share of TRO/TI battles, several things to be aware of regarding the temporary injunction order issued to allow Brendan Sorsby to play for Texas Tech this season:

(1) The temporary injunction obtained by Sorsby is valid through the date of trial. So by setting the trial date for after the college football season ends the Lubbock County state district court effectively awards Sorsby ultimate relief; he can play the full season under the TI, excluding only the first two games carved out in the text of the TI order.

(2) In Texas a TI is subject to immediate (“interlocutory”) appeal. The appeal will go to the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo, Texas.

(3) The problem with the appeal is that even an accelerated appeal of the TI order is likely to take at least 9 to 12 months, meaning the college football season will be long over before the Amarillo Court of Appeals affirms or vacates the TI.

(4) The only way the interlocutory appeal of the TI order gets resolved before the college football season ends is if the Amarillo Court of Appeals orders expedited briefings and decides the appeal “on the papers” without oral argument. But even such an expedited appeal is likely to run well into the college football season.

(5) At bottom, as Diego Pavia and now Brendan Sorsby illustrate, these sort of emergency injunctive proceedings are a huge problem for the NCAA: hometown judges (in Texas elected at the county level) err on the side of granting the TI to allow the key player to play for Hometown U, and the college football season is much shorter than the appellate process. So the preliminary ruling on the emergency injunction effectively decides the entire case and, if granted, allows the player to play a full season.

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

This is the key point. Colleges want Congress to "fix" college sports, but the real problem is many colleges don't follow their own rules (like NIL, with it being used as pay-for-play) or faciliate/cheer on athlete lawsuits against the NCAA. That's the real issue to be addressed.

[Dan Wetzel @DanWetzel]

NCAA is now the only sports organization on earth that can’t ban a player for betting on his own team.

8.7 billion people on one side … one Texas judge on the other.

Brendan Sorsby won a temporary injunction. The NCAA may have a permanent problem.

[Michael McCann @McCannSportsLaw]

This is the kind of ruling that might actually help the NCAA gain support for enforcing eligibility rules, since many will disagree that a player who bet on his own team (a cardinal sin in sports) should be eligible to play. Lose the battle, win the war, etc.
