I can literally see the window of my freshman dorm room in the same picture as the @CollegeGameDay set. Truly insane 😵

PCA is beyond belief… this is already a top 5 Cubs outfield season of the last 50 years and we’re not even 100 games in

[Chicago Cubs @Cubs]

what's better than 20 home runs?
21 home runs.

the NYC hustle is second to none

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

truly, there is nobody better

[The r/BillSimmons Podcast @rBillSimmonsPod]

Bill Simmons describes hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy:

“I think I’m dead. The anesthesia killed me. Are there more first round picks?

When this trade happened I had a camera in my ass, and I had Paul George rammed up my ass”

@gerardinpain I think it can be both
a) correct by the letter of the law and
b) very stupid applied in this scenario.

IMO, the rule is imagining the overslide > catcher throw > tag as discrete events. That the ball becomes live in the 0.01 seconds mid-slide feels comically impractical.

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

It'll never get old opening @fangraphs and seeing PCA absolutely dominating the league in WAR.

He's been worth an entire win more than 3rd place (Alvarez/Dingler) and over double the 25th most valuable hitter (Trout). Insane season.

This is entirely a personal, subjective list but man… we had it so good.

is Josh Hart dead? why is Jeremy Sochan in this game

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

I'm not holding my breath for the movie but I'd be lying if that piano from "Hand Covers Bruise" didn't send a shiver down my spine

The best call Stacey King ever gave.

"I want to go higher. Do you not know who this kid is. He is from Chicago."

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

WHAT NO 😣

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career.

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

that's a big boy

I never quite caught the AF wave but lately I've been deep in the LP3 trenches. Just an incredible winter album.

[BrooklynVegan @brooklynvegan]

American Football release date for LP4 is set

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

I know the traits are enticing and he’s not even 20, but I’m extremely nervous about drafting an undersized 4/big 3 who cannot shoot.

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

UNC's Caleb Wilson measured 6'9.25 barefoot and 211 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 7'0.25 wingspan and 9'0 standing reach.

Wilson grew an inch and added 6 pounds since our last measurements two years ago. Massive standing reach, but somewhat slight-framed for a big.

[Alex Taira @HuffPostVandy]

I know we're focused on new music here but "Kyoto" > "Moon Song" > "Funeral" would end me.

[BrooklynVegan @brooklynvegan]

Phoebe Bridgers debuted new music at surprise shows in Roswell, New Mexico & Lubbock, Texas on Friday & Saturday.
