@HomestretchKC Sounds like you’ve got another trouble maker for a dog… happy birthday man! Crazy how old we are getting

WE IN THIS!! See y’all in the Playoffs! 👀

@NBA league pass cutting to commercials randomly mid game. We spend too much money on this not to get it right

@HomestretchKC Visit Cesars Palace, rare to be in the home of such a historical figure

[Matt Fortuna @Matt_Fortuna]

Jeff Sims dropped a pass and threw a TD on the same play. And if you’ve been watching this game, you would know that that sentence makes total sense.

The word potential here is probably misused.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Any potential changes in the Big Ten are not expected to impact Notre Dame’s view on independence.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

The most under-the-radar transfer in college basketball? Creighton's Steven Ashworth. Made 111 three-point shots last season at Utah State. Has never shot lower than 36.5% from long distance during his career. Tailor made for Omaha.

Literally one of the best things I've ever seen

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Only 60/20/10 game ever, tied for highest-scoring triple double ever, Mavs came back at ~250:1 odds down 9 with 45 seconds left *and* Luka had to intentionally brick the FT and hit game-tying shot at the end of regulation. Has to be the best individual player game in NBA history?

[Jason Gallagher @jga41agher]

I know there are plenty of great arguments for why other players are MVP but I can assure you that nobody is more valuable to a roster than Luka is to The Mavs.

You don’t say….

"Those rumors weren't really reality." UNC QB Drake Maye (@DrakeMaye2) spoke to ESPN about the alleged $5 million offers, college football's new free market and his 2023 season with a new OC at UNC. https://t.co/HbZGMtJxhY

Guy could give a whole new meaning to the term “mortgaged their franchise”

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

BREAKING: Billionaire mortgage lender Mat Ishbia is finalizing a purchase of the Phoenix Suns, sources tell ESPN. The deal, expected to be completed in the near future, would end the tumultuous tenure of owner Robert Sarver.

Ranking this many players is a pretty ridiculous exercise for 4 people to undertake. Unranked NBA tiers would be far more valuable and would likely still generate the same amount of reader engagement.

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

The Ringer just dropped our NBA Guide with top 100 rankings voted on by me, @jkylemann, @MichaelVPina, and @RobMahoney. We will regularly update.

Also, @tylrparkr wrote hilarious League Pass rankings and @BillSimmons trade value rankings are coming soon. https://t.co/KgSc9Sbj41

Do companies pay rent weekly?

[Amanda Terkel @aterkel]

"To cut costs, Twitter has not paid rent for its San Francisco headquarters or any of its global offices for weeks, three people close to the company said." https://t.co/d8Bh05TurH

[Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini]

My favorite Mike Leach stat is that he coached seven 600-yard passing games — from seven different players.

His teams threw for at least 600 yards 11 times since Leach became a head coach in 2000. The rest of the FBS reached that mark 10 times.

[jake @jfain88]

Changed the game of football and that’s not even the most interesting thing about him. #SwingYourSword

We blew by that point in Phoenix last May

[Tim Cato @tim_cato]

we’re fast approaching “Luka is the best player in the world and there aren’t good arguments otherwise” territory

Nobody show my man what has happened to the orange bowl logo

[College Sports Only @CSOonX]

What's happened to the Fiesta Bowl logo is absolutely tragic.

One of the all-time classic bowl logos now looks like a generic car rental company.
