Isiah Thomas is so right: Quit calling '97 Finals Game 5 at Utah the "Jordan Flu Game." It was much worse. He had food poisoning, puked guts out all night/day, shouldn't have played. Finals tied 2-2. Played 44 mins, scored 38! 15 in 4th q! Hit 3 to win it 25 secs left! GOAT GAME.
NEW: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted a preliminary injunction against the NCAA and is eligible for the 2026 season.

"Sports journalism has been tainted by corruption." Not sure this qualifies as a "bombshell" (and not sure "tainted" begins to describe it), but it's nice to see someone else verbalize it.
Woah!! Bombshells dropped by sports writer Crissy Froyd today:
- 6+ female reporters told Crissy first-hand they had sex with NFL staff and coaches of the team they were covering (Is this what the NFL is hiding?)
-She was told by 5+ years ago that Vrabel and Russini were in a secret relationship
-“I lost my job – in part – for attempting to blow the lid off the NFL’s open secret: that some female sports reporters, rumored to include some of the most prominent names in the business, trade sex for stories”
-Sports journalism has been “tainted by corruption”
-My favorite line though: “Even more disheartening, it appears that no one is particularly interested in getting to the bottom of this story.”

Docs: Brendan Sorsby placed at least 40 bets involving Indiana football as a quarterback for the Hoosiers, used sportsbook accounts registered to a family member and friends to wager approximately $90,000 over four years, and continued to gamble after transferring from Cincinnati to Texas Tech in December.

🚨 ¿Y SI LOS MUNDIALES YA ESTUVIERAN DECIDIDOS HASTA 2046?
Vivimos en una simulación, el guión ya está escrito.
Un supuesto trabajador de la FIFA habría encontrado el “guion” de las próximas 6 Copas del Mundo escondido en un archivo secreto.
Según una filtración anónima, un auditor identificado únicamente como “Elías” fue enviado al nivel -3 de la sede de la FIFA en Zúrich, una zona casi abandonada.
Allí, tras mover un viejo archivador metálico, descubrió un doble fondo ocultando un enorme libro de cuero negro. 📖
Lo más inquietante: dentro estarían escritos los resultados y acontecimientos de los próximos Mundiales.
Federal prosecutors have filed two new charges against Terry Rozier--sports bribery and honest services wire fraud--in a new superseding indictment that accuses Rozier of agreeing to take a $100,000 bribe in exchange for removing himself from a game early as part of a betting scheme.
🔋🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: The ball for the 2026 World Cup needs to be plugged in and charged before kick off.
• The balls have a sensor that tracks its precise location every time that it's touched.
• For the 2022 World Cup, the sensor hanged in wires inside the ball, but now it's part of one of the balls panels.
• The data is paired with 12 cameras around the stadiums to track the precise location of the ball and every player 50 times every second.
• This data is transmitted live to VAR, and will be used to determine goal line technology and offsides.
• The sensor is extremely lightweight, unnoticeable for the players, and the battery lasts for up to 6 hours.

The most high-profile sports reporters/"insiders" got to that position by willfully doing as told by the leagues. They are not investigative reporters, never will be, and don't even see that lack of duty as an issue. They are mouthpieces only.
Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet ) was tweeting about things like Tom Brady wearing Gucci as a runway model instead of the biggest story in the NFL offseason.
Now he shows up, after independent journalists did the heavy lifting, and shaming people for covering the story.
Ian we see you clearly.
I miss the days when everyone's X posts were limited. Now my feed is filled with long "deep dives" and threads that are half-truths at best, complete fabrications at worst, but all act like they are revealing hidden truths (which can lead to wealth!) that only these poster know.

@monk_understudy Not a total game changer. If X mattered that much to the powers that be in the NFL, the league would be doing something publicly about this. But so far...crickets.
