@TweetsFromTommy We’ve been living in that world for quite some time now. Welcome to the club.

Update: Jerome Tang has retained Tom Mars and Bennett Speyer in the case of his firing for cause. Mars told ESPN: “If K-State’s President and AD really think the school was embarrassed by recent events, that’s nothing compared to the embarrassment that both of them are about to experience.”

[Chris Elmore @cnelmore]

@JoshTHowell You definitely do! You would be hard pressed to experience something better. One of the reasons they were able to pull it out tonight. Arizona is legit.

[Chris Elmore @cnelmore]

They probably shouldn’t have shouted that naughty word at him earlier in the game.

DARRYN PETERSON CLUTCH 🔥

[Chris Elmore @cnelmore]

Well, that was rude of him.

[Kansas Men’s Basketball @KUHoops]

UNREAL.

[Seton O'Connor @HiMyNameIsSeton]

Seriously though how annoying are people who like snow games

[Chris Elmore @cnelmore]

@JoshTHowell I cannot agree more. I have no nostalgia for football played in these conditions.

Closest thing I've seen to Elijah Johnson at Iowa State on this side of Malik Newman.

Yes, Saban and Herbstreit are both represented by the same firm as Lane Kiffin, which presents a conflict of interest that should be disclosed (at a minimum). But the truth is that even if they weren’t, there are business interests that prevent media from being honest in situations where access is the whole game. I’ll explain.

The media, in many cases, lives or dies by having access. Without it, they don’t get the interviews people want to see, but more importantly don’t get behind the scene scoops from people in the know. This is true in politics, too, and has been exacerbated by a social media era where big personalities with big followings honestly don’t need the media any longer.

In this case, it’s not just that being honest about Lane might cut them off from Lane in the future. Being honest about Lane might cut them off from all of Jimmy Sexton’s clients (a considerable portfolio) in the future, and even some that aren’t Sexton’s clients.

It’s also in their financial interest for this year’s SEC Championship and College Football Playoffs to be as good as possible. Ole Miss is in it. Whether Ole Miss sucks hind teat for the next decade after Kiffin leaves is irrelevant to the bottom line.

Finally, it’s in ESPN’s reputational interest for Lane Kiffin not to emerge from all of this looking like a villain. Otherwise, they suffer damage for having put together the documentary puff piece, either because they were duped or because the very real perception that they played a part in creating propaganda. To avoid that, they need to pump up this idea that Lane is still reformed/still a good guy and just a victim of circumstance.

It’s notable too that Kiffin identified Saban as one of two people he’s talking to about his decision. Saban knows what Lane is going to do. His commentary isn’t idle speculation. It’s positioned to afford the softest landing possible.

This problem is one of the reason outside influencers have become so popular. Because they are already denied access, they can create some accountability.

Chris Rock knows the feeling.

Why haven’t they aged?

First look at Woody and Buzz in ‘TOY STORY 5’

In theaters in June 2026.

[Chris Elmore @cnelmore]

Probably amongst the trees.

[Wichita State @WichitaState]

🏀 Shoutout to the incredible Shocker alumni and staff who put in countless hours to help make last week’s NCAA tournament a huge success! Hosting an event of this scale takes serious dedication, and Wichita showed up in a big way. Thank you for your hard work and Shocker spirit!

"I don't want to hear these analyst after the fact tell me somebody shouldn't be in the playoffs... There were some duds, but that's going to happen. It happens in the NFL Playoffs. It's never going to be an exact science, we have playoff football, enjoy it!"

[Chris Elmore @cnelmore]

Yes.

[JayhawkFocus @JayhawkFocus]

The downfall of this underwhelming football season started with Lance shopping around for other jobs. Now the staff is upset that players are shopping around for better programs and opportunities.

But that’s a conversation some aren’t ready to have yet. #kufball

One of the greatest movie speeches ever. Ducks fly together!

All Americans need to hear this speech today.
