For the record, Costner didn’t abandon anything. Sheridan was taking too long & Costner had other projects in the works, that he couldn’t abandon bc he put up his own money & employed 400 people.

This shitty end to a great show is ALL on Sheridan. #YellowstoneTV #yellowstone

So well said! Nailed it!

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:

We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?

We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...

During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...

We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...

We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...

But for the day's highlights...

To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...

If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...

And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...

And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....

We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.

It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.

It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...

And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.

But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.

These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.

Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.

Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.

If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.

Boo-Yah!

Best take I’ve heard in a long time. He is right. When she got in foul trouble, I changed the channel. I wasn’t there to watch the refs…..What NBA can learn from Caitlin Clark's foul situation in NCAA women's national championship game - CBS Sports https://t.co/F28fuPRlOE

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

@NFL Anyone who actually watched that crap…

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

@ImCollegeSoccer This is so true! Plenty of players get overlooked that are often more talented but their club doesn’t offer ECNL

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

Maybe the best @NFL game ever at the end #Wow

@JGravleySPORTS @PackFootball @DevinLeary1 Jeff, he is an awesome young man for sure. Had the pleasure of meeting him & some teammates grabbing dinner the other night right after they got home from such disappointment and he couldn’t have been more respectful and courteous. Great representatives of Wolfpack Nation #GoPack

@kellifarrelli Go Spurs

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

@NFL competition committee has to change PI rule, it’s ridiculous to keep giving teams 20 to 40 yard penalties. @espn @Espngreeny @ColinCowherd

[Brett Kollmann @BrettKollmann]

The fact that Corrente can sit there and say "he moved towards the bench in a posture that I FELT was taunting" is the exact reason this rule sucks. It's all subjective bullshit.

Excited is an understatement!! So humbled and excited for this opportunity 🤘 ⚽️ !

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

@ColinCowherd The refs were terrible in this game.. makes it hard to watch no matter who you root for

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

@SportsCenter 🤡 - had talent but has pissed away long successful NFL opportunities - too much showboating and never realized great NFL QBs make it about team not themselves - Heisman is a joke, goes to the most hype player on offense, not the best in college

[Mike Dixon @mikeintrepidmg]

Amazing man - RIP

"There must be something about it [soccer] that binds us."

An 81-year-old widower and lifelong football fan - isolated from his family when COVID hit - mentioned he liked soccer as part of a pen pal program. The response... has been magic. @TheNCCourage @ChelseaFCinUSA @USWNT
