wanted to give props to @HorowitzJason and @brockvereen for really good commentary tonight for UCLA-Purdue. Added excitement and helpful context for a chaotic/fun game. Hope to see more of them calling UCLA games.

@valynfps WE FOLLOW YOU TO 2027

@swerve_c Echoes of when the Knicks finally became well-run and perennial contenders after 20 mostly rough years. NBA league office did backflips a few years ago and NFL league office doing them right now

@golferinatlanta @GolfweekNichols To put it bluntly, most western golf fans/media are more interested in seeing English-speaking players than they are the best players. Hence the enthusiasm for Solheim even w/ only 4 of the top 20, and little momentum for a major world event (the Int'l Crown's format is... eh).

NEW: Tim Harris is a Bruin.

He roomed in Dykstra. He biked around Westwood. He captained the men’s soccer team.

After graduating in 1984, he worked 35 years for the Lakers.

Now he’s back, leading #UCLA into this new era as its CEO and AD.

I am about to make the worst financial decision of my life

@DstoeckerS @taylormetrics @automaticnba I'd have em all in the same tier but Kobe/Dirk, conceding that reasonable minds can differ.

The main point is that the grand revelation of "look at this guy's decline in his 30s!" seemed over the top when comparable players in same/prior eras had similar declines.

@gshockera living in LA during those years, hearing new DJ Mustard songs on local dance floors and clubs every month... heaven on earth

[sh @shush510]

really glad to see CLW doing well, her carrying Wazzu to the 2023 Pac-12 Tournament title will always live in WBB lore

(quietly noting the weakside rotations from charlisse leger-walker, who has honestly had an under-the-radar solid rookie campaign overall)

@JimKenn86392040 @L0v30n1nt3rn3t agreed, during this discourse i've been pretty surprised to see how many people's memories of a year revolve around which musicians/actors died that year. i love the arts but... really?

@MattATXDev @MattZeitlin There are plennnnty of public universities in California. It’s okay (good even) to have some with rigorous standards.

this westbrook dunk is my favorite example of the highlight effect, where a highlight means you know something is going to happen, dampening the experience. this is rather mundane as a highlight, but was BONKERS in real time (hence the crew's reaction). https://t.co/QsvMtVoGv1

a fond farewell to russell westbrook, forever generating brilliance out of thin air https://t.co/SvgwIsJNLo

@TronCarterNLU @NoLayingUp Henseleit makes one of the biggest putts of the day to birdie 6 and Pressel is talking over it the whole time! How is this real???

[sh @shush510]

@Marc_Condon @jreece14msu @ShaneRyanHere Yeah, and she led the LPGA in strokes gained tee-to-green in 2024 and 2025. This isn’t coming out of nowhere, it’s the classic “all-world ball striker figures some things out with the putter”

[sh @shush510]

@ShaneRyanHere Why not? Genuine question
