@oultimosensato1 @WTA @serenawilliams I thought the same thing @WTA #oops

@PTI I have really disliked this idea that Rory “frittered away” (the phrase here) or “squandered” or “collapsed” on the third round. He shot 73 and dudes by and large caught him. It’s lazy journalism (or commentary).

Cf. Norman, Gregory circa 1996.

@BarbInNebraska @catholicguyshow A friend said it was proposed that “Shine, Jesus Shine” be sung this weekend because of the Transfiguration Gospel 😇

@Royals @KendellHale — here you go

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@ChriswhittakerI @MySportsUpdate Yes, it's either a catch or an INT. As a neutral observer, I'd have said it's a catch.

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

Serious question: Do #NFL kickers ever practise tackling? That effort from the #Niners man was ridiculous. #seahawks

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@ChriswhittakerI @MySportsUpdate I reckon it's a catch. The one thing it certainly is NOT is an incomplete pass.

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@CatholicHerald I think you’ve missed an important word — NOT — in your tweet

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@JohnyJ_15 Feels like we’re having to look in the rear view mirror a bit more now as well 😬😬

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@Gamanshiyou @NRL The effort was exceptional. But it absolutely was not a try. It was awarded based on a frame when the ball was still in the air. There’s even a shadow underneath it. And the fact it went up as no try means it can’t be overturned based on the footage.

@royalsreview This trend of placing someone of the injured list seems to happen a lot with underperforming Royals. I don’t really follow other teams. Do they do the same? Or is it some KC kindness thing rather than sending guys down or DFAing them?

@GregErlandson Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

@BrianKiely2 @ScholesGeoffrey That’s 5m inside — and he tried the conversion about 1.5m from the touch line. Terrible officiating.

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@jeremy_gans That headline, though? Using the term “r*pist” based on this threshold? Are they just doing that because dead people can’t sue for defamation?

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@Farzin21 Christchurch, New Zealand 🇳🇿 Lived in KC between 1995 and 2004. Been following the Chiefs fervently since arriving. Saving my DT #58 jersey for the Super Bowl. That’s my tradition.

Dear social media manager, thank you for your service. The door is that way 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽 @espn @AustralianOpen #AusOpen2025

@BryanMorry @TheGoatMahomes Dude has a seriously floppy neck

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

Hey @anne__rogers, did we ever hear what the story was with Jordan Lyles? Regardless of how poorly he performed for the #royals, it feels like there must have been something pretty dramatic that brought his time in KC to an end

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@S_Pedian @curious_founder Hadn’t looked at that data. I’m sure I could Google it, but what were the larger ones?

[Gavin Abraham @gavinabraham]

@GothamNobody @royalsreview 100 per cent this ☝️☝️ Someone will overpay him for that season. It can’t be the Royals.
