The biggest 10 minutes of the year in our sport and we've got no idea where the golf balls are

[Flushing It @flushingitgolf]

Jason Day was asked ahead of The Masters whether he has any empathy for what Tiger Woods is going through and he gave a brilliant answer that a lot of people can probably agree with:

“So yeah, in regards to Tiger, it just shows
the human element and the human side of
someone that is struggling with some sort of
an addiction. He's not immune to it just
because he can hit a golf ball really well. He's had 25 to 30 something surgeries, and when you're going through that many procedures, it's painful coming out of those procedures. I've had procedures done and I typically try and stay away from all that stuff because I just know that -- painkillers, there can potentially be a downfall to it.

“Granted, when I look at that, I look at it and go, he's just a human being like everyone else and we have struggles. It's unfortunate, the only thing that I don't understand is that it's a little bit selfish of him to drive and put other people in harm's way, as well.

“But when you're the player that he was and how strong-willed he is, he thinks he can do almost anything, and that's probably why he's probably driving and a little bit under the influence.

“He was my hero -- he's my hero. He was my hero growing up. The reason why I play golf is because of this tournament and Tiger. It's hard to see him go through what he's going through, and especially under the microscope that -- it must be hard to be who he is and have everything, everyone look on, kind of down on him.

“Some people want him to fail. Some people obviously want him to succeed. It's really difficult for me to go through that and watch him, and I know that he's getting the help now, which is good. I'm just hoping he comes out on the other side and is better.”

Well said.

This is the greatest sporting event on the planet.

Howard going dancing for the third time in the last four years under Kenny Blakeney. Bison have become the dominant program in the MEAC.

Rooting for Rob Ehsan & UIC in the MVC Championship. Ehsan was the former HC at UAB with a 76-57 overall record who averaged 19 wins a year, had back-to-back 20 win seasons in 18 & 19, & was fired after a 19-13 campaign in 19-20. Thought he was done wrong, looking to punch a 🎟️

[Seth Davis @SethDavisHoops]

FYI every league has the option to determine who it sends to the NCAA Tournament as an automatic qualifier. There's no requirement it goes to the tourney champ, but most of them choose that route bc the TV networks will pay bigger $$ for the conference tourneys.

People who say winter is better than summer have to be trolling because only a monster would prefer this over going to the beach, baseball games and cookouts.

[Brian Murphy @brianjmurph]

With Timbo here. Basically fell in love with sports growing up reading Kornheiser, Wilbon, Jenkins, Boswell, among others. National names & talent that covered & cared deeply about local teams & issues. The HS coverage was as elite it gets, what a loss.

[Tim Harwood @Coach_TimH]

Incredibly sad the @washingtonpost is closing their sports department. As someone who likes to read, but not necessarily read books, this is a major blow. Growing up I would always read the sports page (after my dad was done with it), and now I read online every day.

@ScottSAllen Perfect! Thanks

@ScottSAllen Ah, think i was off by a day for both.February 24th 2005 and February 13th 2002. The first one was about DeMatha falling apart after Morgan retired, the 2nd one was about MJ bringing the program back

[Jeff Ermann @Jeff_Ermann]

Texas A&M hired an unproven coach w/a gutted roster after Williams was hired. They're tied for first in the SEC.

I say that not to hammer Buzz, who I'm sure would admit in private they failed the portal, but to say some of you have misguided views of portal-era roster-building.
