@RGIII Maybe if you could throw a forward pass we’d still be in the World Cup. Laughable take

The best beginning of a relationship I’ve ever heard:

“We sat next to each other and realised we were reading the same book, which is crazy. It’s called Trust [by Hernán Díaz] and I had just finished the first chapter and I told her and she looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter too.’ I said, ‘So we’re on the same page.’”

Only a slight issue in that the front office STINKS

I went to see Project Hail Mary. Great movie, I highly recommend it. The less you know about it going in, the better. Trust me.

The guy in front of me in the theater brought his dog in to see the movie with him. I think it was a service animal. But the dog really seemed to be enjoying the movie, it was strange.

So I said to the guy afterwards, "I know this is going to sound strange, but it seemed like your dog really enjoyed the movie." He said, "It is strange. He hated the book."

Sports fans rarely agree on anything in 2026.

But everyone seems in agreement right now.

South Carolina fans. UConn fans. Everyone.

Geno Auriemma was right. And Dawn Staley has always had a terrible attitude - tonight was no exception. She should apologize and try to do better going forward, because this is getting embarrassing.

South Carolina shot 22 free throws tonight. UConn shot 6.

Twenty-two to six. In a Final Four game. Between the two best teams in the country.

All six fouls in the third quarter were called on UConn. Sarah Strong, the AP Player of the Year, had her jersey ripped on a play with no call.

Before the fourth quarter, Geno went on ESPN and said what everyone watching at home was thinking: "They've been beating the s**t out of our guys down there the entire game."

He pointed at Staley's sideline and called her out for ranting at the officials all night while her team got away with everything.

Then the game ended. South Carolina 62, UConn 48. And Geno walked over to shake Staley's hand, said something that wasn't friendly, and had to be physically pulled away.

Was it the right moment? Probably not. But after watching his team get grabbed, held, and shoved for 40 minutes while the whistle only blew one way, the man had earned his frustration.

And Staley's response was even more telling.

"I have no idea," she said on ESPN after the game. "But I'mma let you know this, I'm of integrity. I'm of integrity. So if I did something wrong to Geno, I had no idea what I did."

She then guessed that Geno was upset because he thought she didn't shake his hand before the game.

ESPN pulled up the video. She did shake his hand before the game. So her explanation didn't even make sense.

The full breakdown of what happened, the foul discrepancy, and why Geno had every right to be upset is here:

Here's what nobody wants to say out loud: Staley has a pattern.

Last April, in the 2025 national championship, UConn blew South Carolina out 82-59. Staley was on the sideline screaming profanities and slapping herself on the forehead. Social media tore her apart. Afterward, she was gracious about it and said UConn "beat our ass." Credit for that.

But the sideline theatrics, the working of officials, the ranting and raving, and then the "I have no idea what you're talking about" act after the game? That's a routine at this point.

Geno Auriemma has 12 national championships. More wins than any coach in college basketball history. He's been doing this for over 40 years. He didn't blow up on national television because he's a sore loser. He blew up because he watched a 22-6 free throw disparity unfold in real time in the biggest game of the season.

South Carolina played great defense tonight. Nobody is taking that away from them. Ta'Niya Latson had 16 and 11. Agot Makeer added 14 off the bench. Joyce Edwards and Raven Johnson made life miserable for Strong and Fudd, who combined to shoot 7-of-31.

The Gamecocks earned the win.

But the officiating wasn't earned. And Geno was the only person in that building willing to say it out loud.

Staley can say "I'm of integrity" as many times as she wants.

The free throw line told a different story.

Just to be so clear, we stand with Geno, unequivocally
