@SpeakerMcCarthy You have President Biden’s literal phone number and are the only person in this dumb thread who can do anything. But instead you’re posting to Twitter like the rest of us because woe is me my hands are tied brother can you spare a dime. Kick rocks.

you root for a rock fight and for nikola jokic not to have to get up off his couch for a few extra days. sports 101...

[NBA on ESPN @ESPNNBA]

Both @Rjeff24 and @AustinRivers25 think the Nuggets should be rooting for the Heat to close out tonight 👀

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

Isn’t a novelty storyline like this exactly what internet streaming is for? Kind of hard to blame a network for gearing their final day major coverage around contending golfers. You’re chasing a national Sunday audience, not a random smattering of golf pros.

[Peter Kostis @peterjkostis]

You can't ride the Michael Block horse for 54 holes and build the story up on the 1st tee today and then ignore him. I know he's not in the mix to win but do him, his fans and the PGA club pros everywhere a solid and show him more than just finishing up on 18.

Phoenix Suns East gonna trade for Kevin Durant pretty soon.

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

tired: the bucks or celtics will probably win the title

wired: every team that made the playoffs actually is bad

[Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnor]

What an embarrassment. The Celtics are a mentally weak team with a clueless head coach. Big changes should come this summer.

The Lakers and Celtics falling on their faces at the same time after pumping up their insufferable fan bases with sweet nothing wins -- honestly what the country needed and what might save democracy

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

@celtics @KevinGarnett5KG Really showed out tonight to honor the dude.

It’s the anniversary of the eruption of Mount St. Helens, so I want to take the time to remember photographer Robert Landsburg. He spent his last moments protecting the film of the eruption which was later published in NatGeo.

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

That's a crazy statistical drop from his teammates.

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

Joel Embiid averaged 33.1 PPG in the regular season and 23.7 PPG in the playoffs.

That drop-off (-9.4) is the largest by that year's MVP in NBA history.

Daryl Morey is the Doc Rivers of general managers.

[²³𝙻𝚎𝙱𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚌𝚑𝚒𝚝𝚒𝚜🏀☄️🌎💞 @BronGotGame]

Daryl Morey gave Doc Rivers the “You won’t be back next season” pat on the back😭�

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

Did the 76ers trade for Chris Paul and hire Monty Williams at halftime?

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

The entire thing is one glorious track.

[Classic Rock In Pics @crockpics]

The Rolling Stones released Exile On Main Street, May 12, 1972. Favorite track?

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

The Suns are just one Joel Embiid trade away from getting this thing done.

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

Shanahan saying that Brock Purdy developed into a franchise quarterback in eight games is almost as insane as him pretending that the team likes Trey Lance.

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

Shanahan, in summary: "I do believe we have three quarterbacks talent-wise who are all capable of being franchise-like quarterbacks. But that’s just capable ... Brock’s done that in his eight. And we have two other guys on our roster who we strongly believe can do that also."

[Mark R. Lindquist @markrlindquist]

tired narrative: the lakers made it out of the play-in and are going to be dangerous in the postseason

wired narrative: lakers get to within one game of the western conference finals and then revert back to the mediocre team that could barely make the postseason

Timothy Leary already having an impact on the Jets.

[Around The NFL @AroundTheNFL]

Jets CB Sauce Gardner believes QB Aaron Rodgers will elevate his game: "He was telling me he has the secret gems he can give me"

Nothing draws more hype than the abstract idea of a quarterback.

Matt Maiocco says Sam Darnold 'might be most talented thrower of football 49ers have ever had'

The Atlanta Falcons, folks.

[ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk]

Titans rookie Peter Skoronski says that at a Combine interview with Falcons coach Arthur Smith, Smith told him, "You're really boring me. Your answers are so boring." https://t.co/PzcqVdjQUz

Wait you were studying Will Levis all this time?

Here’s my Way-Too-Early 2024 Mock Draft. Two warnings I give every year: 1. I did not generate the draft order, so save the complaints. 2. Most importantly, I have had VERY MINIMAL TIME TO STUDY THESE PLAYERS, so please take it FWIW. https://t.co/08QCRTGGan
