THESE PEOPLE ARE BORDERLINE CRAZY. Or so it seems to readers of my book "Soccer Dad," from outside the world of youth sports. They expressed shock, concern—and an urgent hope that sports parents can get our act together. https://t.co/IZhsWieAih
"IT ALL STARTED WHEN SCOUT WAS FOUR and her parents enrolled her in one of those [kiddie sports programs] for the free childcare and hope they don’t pee their pants or cry in the corner ...." So writes sportswriter Melissa Jacobs @thefootballgirl ...

45 years ago today, Yale's Ron Darling & St. John's Frank Viola matched up in the greatest college pitching duel ever.
Both starters made it through 11 scoreless innings.
Darling didn't allow a hit until the 12th inning but St. Johns won 1-0.

Today’s Treasure from my collection: Remembering Alfredrick Hughes, who recently passed away at age 63. Back in the 1980’s the hoop world didn’t know about Sister Jean yet, but they took note of Hughes lighting it up for the Loyola Chicago Ramblers.
Loyola Chicago mourns the loss of former Rambler Alfredrick Hughes.
His name is in the record books, his jersey is in the rafters, and his legacy is with the program.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, & former Ramblers.

Before this season, no EFL team in the last 40 years with fewer than ten points from their first 15 games had finished in the top half or got 60+ points.
Philippe Clement took over Norwich City with nine points from 15 games and has finished in 9th with 65 points #ncfc 🔰🇧🇪
Former Georgetown junior guard Malik Mack announced to On3 that he has committed to BIG EAST rival Providence College on Tuesday, April 21. This comes just less than a month after Mack told On3 he planned to enter the transfer portal. Read more: https://t.co/3qkeEeizIH
On 1st Jan Leicester were 13th on 34 points. Norwich were 22nd, on 24 points.
Absolutely mad that we went on to get 40 more points and sit 9th on 64, and they got just 8 more points and are relegated on 42.
Football.
Steve Kerr: "Uno de los mejores tiradores que he visto, tenía un poco de la mentalidad de Stephen Curry. Jugué contra Oscar en el Mundial de 1986, me rompí el ligamento cruzado anterior y me llevó en brazos hasta la salida de la cancha, fue un gesto increíble. Lo admiraba mucho."
In 1987, Team USA was up 20. They had David Robinson, Danny Manning, and Rex Chapman. Then, Oscar Schmidt happened.
"Mão Santa" dropped 35 of his 46 points in the second half to hand the US a shocking 120-115 loss in Indy.
