Bob Harig (and @Rosenberg_Mike) and countless others at the once-great (SI) have enriched my life as a golf sicko and sports fan, to say nothing of the always kind and always fair professional interactions. They'll get new jobs, so we'll still get the benefit of their coverage. But man, this sucks. In the meantime, go read this one from Bamberger.

[Bob Harig @BobHarig]

Being one of the subjects of a story is admittedly uneasy. But this is so incredibly nice of Michael Bamberger, one of the all time best in golf. Thanks to those who have reached out here and elsewhere. It is much appreciated. More to come.

This is completely false - the NCAA has no commercial partnership with any sportsbook and the NCAA prohibits betting ads during all broadcasts.

The bipartisan SCORE Act ensures college sports are for college athletes, not a safety net for professional players - so while student-athlete leaders across all three divisions support the bill, it is no surprise a handful of pros are opposed.

@KVanValkenburg Missed this the first time around. So good, man.

The (mostly) British media who have been incredulous about World Cup ticket prices and the legal secondary market in the U.S. may be forced to admit that it works (I know, I know). FIFA looks to have made some really smart choices. Sell for what the market will bare. Get the tech-enabled "ticket touts" on the hook for everything you can. And a rational market will sort it out. Stadiums will be full in the end. Everyone relax.

ICYMI, the Olympics matter.

[Ryan Glasspiegel @sportsrapport]

ESPN/ABC and WBD Sports were both up nearly 70% in first round vs last year in NHL playoffs. Monster growth that goes well above and beyond the Nielsen changes.

Story coming shortly at @FOS

AI has changed/is changing the communications industry in unimaginable ways, and yet, the importance of earned media and its impact on your reputation has never been more important. This is worth a listen.

@W_Drehs Yes, yes and yes. Wings PR handled it perfectly, acknowledging the legitimacy of the question before declining.

@ilanared @Bachscore Most of the b-roll is from the Denver Summit opener!

@ByTimReynolds Rude. Fair.

This is great. Think even my Tar Heel wife would agree. (but she's not on here and please no one tell her I said so).

[Ben Portnoy @bportnoy15]

Really cool moment tonight postgame after VCU upset UNC. VCU head coach Phil Martelli Jr. made a point to shoutout the student reporters that made the trip.

Lots of great stuff this time of year, but this was a really awesome, genuine exchange.
