When OG Anunoby was 8, he begged his father, a finance professor, for a basketball hoop.
Dr. Anunoby asked his son what sort of return he expected on his investment.
OG's pitch: buy it, and I'll practice every single day.
20 years later and those returns are still compounding.

[Trilly Donovan @trillydonovan]

OG Anunoby got that rebound because he was coached by Tom Crean.

@joespring12 @Jaypotta I lived two blocks away from Sun King when they shot this....if only my 20 something self knew....

The great thing about 'Southeastern' is everyone has a story about/feeling when they first heard it. Or when it finally landed.

One of the greatest albums, ever.

[friendscallmeJay @Jaypotta]

13 years ago today Jason Isbell released Southeastern and I fucking wept upon hearing “Elephant” for the first time. Core memory. Highly suggest.🐐

I’m going to keep saying it because there is nothing left say.

Nick Krall’s big move to make this young core work was bring in Tito. I (as well as the rest of the fanbase) welcomed the move. David Bells voice ran flat, the Reds plateaued, it was time for change.

This change has not worked. They are the same team they have been the last 7 years under Nick Krall, just a slightly different version.

Every single person should be fired.

It. Has. Failed.

Find someone on the cutting edge of the sport in the front office. Find a manager who can press the buttons.

[Ryan Camden @rscamden]

@SamHouseholder Haha for sure. Hes been playing it live for years. He (Sturgill Simpson) definitely has an affinity for generations gone-by.

Both Modest Mouse and Death Cab For Cutie dropped their strongest albums in decades last week.

Maybe us Elder Millenials actually are all the way back?

It's now been 15 days since anyone has seen or heard from 16-year-old Jazmine Peters of Richmond. If you can help locate her, RPD would like to hear from you.

Colts - Bears suddenly becomes the NFL in state "rivalry" that nobody ever needed

Growing up in Chicago I was never a Bears fan and I understand the proximity to Hammond but this would have been a blasphemous suggestion to my childhood friends watching the SB Shuffle on loop

[LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister]

I don’t know about you, but I needed this #Reds off day.

I’m tired of watching this team and saying “what was that?” I’m flat worn out by this organization.

With the exception of late inning heroics on Tuesday night, the Reds appeared a combination of dazed, tired, disinterested and lacking energy vs a woeful Kansas City team.

The slivers of moments offered like Tuesday night simply aren’t enough. Hell, the slivers of moments offered since 1995 aren’t enough.

This is a franchise that has not won more than 83 games in a season since winning 90 in 2013. Butler math makes that 13 years ago. This franchise not only hasn’t won a single home playoff game in the existence of GABP, it hasn’t won a playoff series since 1995.

This organization is broken. It’s been broken. And I have zero confidence in anyone being capable of fixing it, Not ownership. Not the President of Baseball Operations. And I didn’t figure to say this, but not the Hall-of-Fame manager to be.

This organization continues to spin the wheel of transactions. Cycling guys up and down, onto the roster, off the roster, into the lineup, out of the lineup. They DFA’d three pitchers inside of 24 hours this week.

Exactly what kind of organization building is Nick Krall doing when the answer is Yunior Marte? Stop it. Yesterday, Triple-A Louisville pitchers walked 14 batters and allowed 18 runs. Low-A Daytona is 19-34 and has been outscored by 90 runs. Please, stop it.

Meanwhile, Terry Francona continues trying to force square pegs into round holes, and appears unwilling to uproot the flag of loyalty he’s planted for too many players.

But this truly is a ‘team’ effort. While this roster no doubt lacks enough MLB talent. There is no question multiple players are simply not holding up their end of this.

As for injuries, the Reds can get in line. Every team in MLB is hurt. The week started with 255 MLB players on the IL, and 13 teams had more IL players than the Reds.

What’s most galling is that all of this appears to be acceptable to the organization. I continue to wait for someone, from the front office up, to come out and publicly declare what is happening as 'unacceptable'....and that the fans deserve better.

Last week, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said of a poor outing by rookie pitcher Brandon Sproat: "We're not going to tolerate too many duds like this, that's for sure. If he's not going to step up — we're trying to win. We're not rebuilding."

So refreshing.

Guardians GM Mike Chernoff recently told MLB Radio that he won’t use the MLB economic system as an excuse: “Whatever the system is, we have to find a way around it. We have to do things differently. We have to find a way to win. We’ve made the playoffs 7 of the last 10 years, with a World Series appearance, and an ALCS.

What a concept.

People often asked me, ‘How do the Rays and Brewers find ways to win?’ Survey says: Because they know what they are doing.

The model for the Reds is driven by hope. Hope to stay healthy. Hope to eliminate the peaks and valley’s. Hope to get to the .500 range. Hope to grab the sixth and final playoff spot each season.

I need a nap.

Wake me up when the Reds decide to get serious about winning.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

The story of beloved media institutions in my lifetime is that they are taken over by people who don't love or understand them, and want to change them, and wind up destroying them.
