Two words.

@b_wallz @Phillies @MLB The 1932 Yankees did it (in Philly), Lou Gehrig had 4 HRs, which is why AI didn’t catch it.

@_CROWCREEKSIOUX @ShowCaseShabazz She got injured last season and then had multiple surgeries in the offseason to repair her ankles (which were injured at different times). She’ll be back.

@SheaSerrano If you went to the game the dog would have to watch alone. You’re staying home for her sake, obviously.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.

According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.

Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.

Then came the admission.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."

A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.

That's a remarkable accusation.

@dunking_dad That’s amazing! And you got to see a great game. I hope you enjoy your time in Minnesota!

@nwaegbojnr @Kgformvp211 He should’ve been ROY over an injured LaMelo Ball. That’s part of why they made the 65 game rule.

@SalTheTree @LarryFitzHater @aRea1Human @Ajohnson4017 @JMcDonald_SAEN That was where teams stayed in the past, but not since the Omni and Four Seasons were built. Per their CBA they stay at the Four Seasons, as do the other professional teams that come to town (unless they choose the Omni).

@d_boe03 @ChristopherHine @NBA @FBI They tried, the NBA leaked the name of their CI to blow up the investigation of the refs. There’s a Netflix doc on it.

@YolkedUp1 @ktausk13 This is one of the ones from the Thibs Timberbulls era, I didn’t make it, but I like it.

Nikola Jokic: “We just lost in the first round. I think we are far away.”

Changes needed?

“That’s not my decision. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all be fired.”

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

The Timberwolves won the clincher against Denver without Ayo Dosunmu (21.8 PPG this series), Anthony Edwards (18.5) and Donte DiVincenzo (10.8).

They are the first team in NBA history to win a playoff game while missing 3 or more players who averaged 10+ PPG in that series 🔥

What’s an all-time quote that aged like fine wine? I’ll start

[Katie Benke @ktbenke]

@BradyReeks @GfedGoCrazy Target Center’s seats are much more comfortable than GCA’s since the renovation. I’ve been to both recently. The vibes are great in both but very different, unique to each sport. Jumbotron at Target Center is better. GCA is better for concerts though, better acoustics.

[Katie Benke @ktbenke]

@BullsFanJose I will never forgive the Wolves for not releasing a D Rose trees jersey after he dropped 50 wearing it. Those are iconic.

[Katie Benke @ktbenke]

@SheaSerrano Playoffs should have extra challenges if you get them right. I understand that in the regular season it would be tedious and could cause scheduling issues, but this is the playoffs. They have extra leeway with time anyway and it’s when they absolutely need to be held accountable.

[Minnesota Timberwolves @Timberwolves]

can’t spell playoffs without AYO.

[Katie Benke @ktbenke]

@KyleMesser24803 @JmacG0AT Conley is good at keeping the team calm and together. Bones offers that spark off the bench. Plus Conley probably won’t play for very long increments, so Bones will still get plenty of time with Ayo and the first unit.
