@stephenasmith the mere fact we're arguing about Angel Reese and trash talk instead of celebrating the greatness of Coach Mulkey and the amazing play of Carson and The Lady Tigers is why it's a classless act. She knew she'd get the attention. @angelreese @espn @stevenasmith @SportsCenter

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@FirstTake @stephenasmith the fact we're talking about Angel Reese and smack, and not the LSU team, coach and their championship is why it's a classless, look at me act... period.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@FirstTake @MollyQerim @espnW recency bias, for sure.... old school legends like Cynthia Cooper/Cheryl Swoops/Miller (no WNBA today without them) Babe Zaharias/ Bonnie Blair/Olga Korbut/Wilma Rudolf.... Today we have "specialized, hyper trained, physically advanced, medically protected" athletes from age 3.

#budenholzer looks like a cousin caught with Mama's cheap jewelry - deer in the headlights. #notraps #nodoubleteams #nodenying the ball - nope - just let a few shorter dudes go solo with the only baller that could beat them. #espn #FirstTake #nbatoday #milwaukeebucks

@JonathanCohn @amaury_dujardin what's new. The fact you still see this as a one off means you still believe there is a Party that actually matters to the people....

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@NBA and @ESPNNBA trying to make a story of the pathetic 21-43 @Lakers possibly missing the Play In Tourney, as if anyone wants to see a .419 team in the @NBAPlayoffs2022 Regular season's a joke.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

Oh. My. Freaking. God. NFL fans are sick of Aaron Whining Rogers and this BS NON STORY. He reports. Had to. Under contract. Who the hell cares anymore. All that air time for nothing. Nothing. Now ya double down today? Please.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@notthefakeSVP @ItsMattBishop failed to spend 50% of the show talking about a sport that appeals to 10% of the audience...

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@realStanVG maybe if you were a deeply passionate progressive and independent things would actually change, but sticking to either "party" is historically proven ineffective if the goal is REAL CHANGE...

This

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

253 bills across 43 states have been introduced to restrict voting access, despite little evidence of voter fraud. We have had 7 mass shootings in the last week and only offer thoughts and prayers. In America, Black/brown people voting is considered more dangerous than guns.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@bartenz @SportsCenter @notthefakeSVP Stupid is as stupid does.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@FirstTake If you really want to honor the Black Kings that made the NBA then start with Russell, Kareem, Jordan, and Hakeem.

Love Kobe but he's neither first nor the best. @jemelehill @espn @NBATheJump

@RioGrandeSierra @MelanieforNM Almost impossible when the "faux" Dems we elect vote like oil and gas Republicans. Both US Senators voted against a Federal ban in fracking, and now the Dem controlled NM Senate Judiciary just killed the Water protection bill. What a sham. Talk like progressives, vote like GOP.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@MelanieforNM @DebHaalandNM She's been in Congress 18 months and hasn't accomplished anything for the people of here district. Nothing. When the hell will you people start measuring OUTCOMES and stop honoring folks based solely on party, gender, race or other non relevant factors. Geez. She's accomplished 0

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

Amen.

[Ari Berman @AriBerman]

67% of Americans support raising minimum wage to $15 hour but it can be filibustered by 41 GOP senators representing just 21% of country. This is why the Senate is deeply broken

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@TheFrankIsola Yeah and my uncle Eddie should be retiring comfortably with fat pension instead of doing 15 in prison for theft - do the crime do the time. No excuses.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@isaiahthomas all love to the "real shit" he's doing, but what does that have to do with bailing on your team? Lebron doing real shit too - playing over 30 minutes every night. Kyrie is a self absorbed asshat...

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@BleacherReport @SNYNets We know exactly who you are, based on your actions. Your words mean nothing.

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@GRRMspeaking awwww. pobrecito. I imagine it was harder for her and her family

[R.J. Laino @trueheartmedia]

@maxkellerman ok Max, why bother taking calls on your radio show when all you do is give the listener/caller 15 seconds before you go off on another rant? Listening yesterday wanted to engage on your NFL takes but you don;t come upfor air... so I tuned out, as I imagine many are doing also...
