There’s something so inherently wrong with a society that can’t go 45 minutes without an ad.

[Thunder Film Room @ThunderFilmRoom]

We still live in a world where Chet Holmgren is an NBA Champion & Victor Wembanyama isn’t.

[Todd Miller @PlayByPlayGuy1]

It’s really sad it took the large market Knicks to validate what Thunder fans were saying about Wemby and the Spurs..It wasn’t sour grapes coming from the fans of a team on the prairie, it was the truth that the Frenchman isn’t what everyone thinks/wants him to be

@SalettTunley Thank you so much. I’m going to miss Nadia’s senior year.

Back in the game after a year away

[Rob Moseley @GoDucksMoseley]

There’s a kick, and then there’s whatever you call what Simeon Birnbaum just did. Secretariat in the Belmont stuff. #GoDucks

INSANE COMEBACK🙀

@NAUTrackFieldXC Colin Sahlman had a monster kick to hawk down TWO Razorbacks to secure the 800m National Title.

Men's 400m all-time list

🇿🇦 Wayde Van Niekerk - 43.03s (2016)
🇺🇸 Michael Johnson - 43.18s (1999)
🇺🇸 Butch Reynolds - 43.29s (1988)
🇳🇬 Samuel Ogazi - 43.38s (2026) 🆕

Ogazi's time is the fastest time ever recorded in the 400m after a decade.

Former #Vikings T Cam Robinson said Minnesota is the “best ran organization” he has been a part of, noting their top-down professionalism:

“How they run their whole operation, that was probably in my however many weeks I was there from top to bottom, from front office down to everything, how they handle child care on Sundays, everything. That was probably the best ran organization I’ve been in.”

Sam Presti is brilliant and has had some amazing draft picks but the 2017 draft where he took Terrance Ferguson over OG, Derrick White, Jarret Allen, and Josh Hart is criminally bad

[Chris Chavez @ChrisChavez]

🚨 10.63 FOR 100M ‼️🚨

🇻🇬 GEORGIA’S ADAEJAH HODGE JUST DESTROYED 🇺🇸 SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON’S NCAA 100M RECORD AND MOVED TO NO. 5 ON THE ALL-TIME LIST IN THE NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP PRELIM!

WOW.

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

Teenagers can literally read anything, and older text are only difficult because we keep lowering standards. I read The Count of Monte Cristo and 1984 in middle school. We need to stop saying students can't do things or can't handle things. The race to the bottom is pure poison.

[Bad Sports Refs @BadSportsRefs]

With KAT picking up 2 fouls in a minute and 5 seconds, a good time to revisit this video

[Marc Luino @GiraffeNeckMarc]

From the moment Wemby started claiming “I’m in your head”

Knicks outscored Spurs 87-69

Wemby scored 14 points and was 4-17 from the field

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

There was no doubt the Knicks were gonna come back and win when the Clan came out at halftime and smoked it 👐

[FloTrack @FloTrack]

His reaction says it all 😵

Only a SOPHOMORE, Dyson Wicker, is your Pole Vault National Champion after successfully clearing 5.85m.

This is the type of Finals loss a team may never recover from, and it couldn't have happened to any other team but the Spurs.

They deserve this.

[Kelly Beck @XCCoachBeck]

I remember watching this kid run 1:50 as a freshman at the Texas Distance Festival and was in awe. Didn't think it would only take him only a few years to be the best 800M runner in the entire world. Just incredible.

[Jonathan Gault @jgault13]

Cooper Lutkenhaus, who I must continue to stress is a 17-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN, just took down world and Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi to win the 800m in Oslo.

His time of 1:42.08 is the fastest in the world this year.

[FloTrack @FloTrack]

WORLD RECORD???!!!

Jakobe Tharp breaks THE 110mH WORLD RECORD in the PRELIMS at NCAAs. It's only prelims. 12.75 (+1.0m/s) Speechless.

[BIG WOLF VIKINGS GUY 🐺 @flexgolden11]

JJ McCarthy haters last year: “We shouldn’t have anointed him the starter so early, and without competition! Competition is important!”

JJ McCarthy haters this year: “Competition is bad for the team. Anoint Kyler the starter now. You can’t have competition!”
