A Serena Williams return? Yeah, we’re absolutely seated 🎾

Watch Serena back on the court at the Berlin Tennis Open this week on @TennisChannel, available with our Sports Plus add-on.

So glad I signed up for the breaking news alert service in the voice of 1950s jazz musicians, but this scene is a total drag, daddy-o.

Since @SportsCenter is covering #WWE wrestling, they should also report on the plot points in Grey's Anatomy, since it is also a scripted drama that has nothing to do with sports.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

First, they said it was about stopping illegal drugs.

Now, they say it is about starting oil deliveries to the U.S.

In order to create a presidential slush fund.

Same corrupt regime in Venezuela.

And at home.

So glad the water buffalo is recuperating. We need to do everything we can to preserve the water buffalo as we phase out the gas buffalo.

Wife came in midway through Democratic convention coverage and wanted me to stop and rewind so she watch the from beginning.
“No,” I said. “We are not going back.”

@rossacrosswi @KamalaHarris @GovTimWalz I was born between them (chronologically, September 1964) and have always been called a Baby Boomer. At least that’s what I think people are shouting at me.

One other GOP member of Congress has the right “nce” sound, but it would require tortured misspelling for Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa. (ErNCEt?)

[Shawn Plank @shawnplank]

Picking Vance means not much redesign in campaign signs necessary, replacing the “Pe” with “Va,” much like Cleveland did changing their nickname from Indians to Guardians—the “In” was merely replaced by the “Guar.”

[Shawn Plank @shawnplank]

Checked GOP members of Congress. Vance was the only one to fit the bill for easy-to-revise sign design. There is Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas, but I doubt he’d want to be referred to by first name.
There’s Rep. Greg Pence of Indiana, but that’s Mike’s brother & I bet he’d say no.

I realize I really liked listening to rock/pop/top 40 radio in the 1970s because there was almost a 0% chance of hearing a song from the 1980s or later.

To everyone facing the wrong direction to view the total eclipse: Turn around, bright eyes.

[Shawn Plank @shawnplank]

They keep saying Anna Lytics will keep the Iowa women’s basketball team from making the Final Four but I checked and no team has a player with that name.

[Shawn Plank @shawnplank]

I was going to declare yesterday, Feb. 28, as as “Look Day,” as in the day before Leap Day (look before you leap) but I failed to plan out the announcement.

[Shawn Plank @shawnplank]

I think they found Steve Goodman. #WrigleyField

Turn it, fellas! #GoAndTakeIt

Anti-woke, anti-trans activists attack national waterway, saying it can’t be both Old Man River and Mrs. Ippi at the same time.

[Shawn Plank @shawnplank]

Baseball marks #JackieRobinsonDay by having players all wear 42 in a @Dodgers blue hue on the back of their jerseys, even though it clashes badly with most team uniforms (like @Orioles orange). I don't think this is what Jackie had in mind in terms of breaking the color barrier.
