@Biotifeh @andrewssports That’s not the dance and that’s not Anthony Quinn. Doesn’t meet the specs.

[QC @QuantCoach]

I got 50 bucks for the first person who can use AI to substitute @andrewssports for Bates as Quinn’s dance partner and posts it on X…

Perhaps unpopular opinion, love 🎥 “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” and the song is fine, but it and the 🚲 scene has always seemed to me to be completely out of place in the 🎥. If I had been the editor I would’ve cut it.

[Ladytron Fan Account @Lady_FanAccount]

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David especially for the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), with Paul Newman e Katharine Ross. The scene was a romantic bike ride, and director George Roy Hill wanted something light and optimistic. Bob Dylan was the first guest to record but declined, Ray Stevens also declined. B. J. Thomas accepted and recorded the track while recovering from laryngitis, the hoarse, tired voice that came out was exactly what Bacharach loved (he made Thomas repeat until the seventh take). There is a specific film version (with a vaudeville instrumental break to accompany Newman's stunts) and another recorded weeks later for the single.

Released in late 1969, it became the first Billboard Hot 100 of the 1970s (four weeks at the top in January), won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became the biggest hit of B. J. Thomas's career.

… and one of the worst handicappers you have ever been around in your life. QC’s thoughts on Sorsby’s chances for post-season awards in the next QUANTCOACH’S 👁️: THE CAPITALIST’S SPORTS NEWSLETTER.

[CJ Vogel @CJVogel_OTF]

Texas Tech HC Joey McGuire at the San Antonio QB Club luncheon on the decision timeline for QB Brendan Sorsby:

“We could know today. It may be while we are sitting here, you all may get an alert on your phone. I think we will know by Monday. It is a really unfortunate situation, this is one of the best kids I have ever been around in my life.”

Maybe if the shepherd dogs had not been sleeping on the job 🐐 mamma would still be around…

[Nature Unedited @NatureUnedited]

The young goat that lost its mother in a wolf attack in Sivas and was rejected by the rest of the herd started going to sleep with the shepherd dogs every night so it wouldn’t be alone

@MrCleveland_216 Pat Tabler was the last person on 🌎 a pitcher wanted to see coming to the plate when the bases were loaded. He’s also my uncle’s brother-in-law.

@PeterVecsey1 After Miles McBride committed to WVU 🏀 his classmates in the Cincinnati Archbishop @LetsGoBigMoe student section also sang “Country Roads” after home 🏀 wins … and there were a lot of wins when Deuce was a Crusader.

My favorite sports tradition…

[Trey Wallace @TreyWallace]

I know we get lost in the chaos of NIL and the transfer portal

But, listening to West Virginia’s Armani Guzman, a young man from New York, singing ‘Country Roads’ is so darn wholesome.

College Sports still deliver

[GambLou @GambLou]

This is the first time since 1957 that the entire 8-team CWS field had zero overlap with the previous year’s participants. Multiple sources (including CBS Sports, Reddit discussions on college baseball, and reports from 2025) confirm this as a notable rarity in the modern super-regional era (since 1999).

Thanks Grok

Linda Ronstadt performing “Silver Threads and Golden Needles” with her backing band… who just happened to be The Eagles before they were famous!
This is pure early ‘70s California magic — that voice, that band, that chemistry. What a moment in music history! 🔥

@robmiech @EdWithSports @GambLou This guy has been Babe Ruth since he came up. I looked for his ROY price and learned he’sl been riding the MLB/AAA shuttle and MLB pine for a few years. Wherever this new pop comes from, I’ll take it.

@GambLou Good problem to have if you root for Arizona or LSU…

[Rob Anderson @_robanderson]

The 2026 NCAA Baseball Tournament is the first one in which neither the defending CWS champion (LSU) nor defending runner-up (Coastal Carolina) won a game since the 1981 Tournament, when neither the defending champ (Arizona) nor the defending runner-up (Hawaii) won a contest.
