Scotland's Robert MacIntyre could face disciplinary action at the Masters after he was caught making a middle finger gesture during a quadruple bogey on Thursday. spr.ly/6018B6L1Fg

@NBA__Courtside This is what everyone gets for having so much animus against Joel Embiid. Now everyone realizes we were right. Well too bad: they can lay in the bed they made and enjoy their lackluster MVPs and All-NBA teams because this is what they asked for
English

Nick Wright on what he thinks is the nightmare scenario for the 65-game rule:
“So, that Wemby and Joker are not eligible. Luka doesn’t win his appeal. Cade and ANT are not eligible. And in that scenario you could argue that the six best seasons this year 5 of the 6 are not eligible, for anything. Expect By the way, you only have to play 58 games to be the statistically champ. So like, Luka if his appeal isn’t granted he’s going to win the scoring title and not be on the All-NBA team. And Joker if something was to happen to him tomorrow night and be knocked out of that game early and not play the next game would win the rebounds and assists championship and not be on the All-NBA team. So you would have the scoring, rebounding, assists champ Wemby going to be the blocks champ right? It’s just I don’t know it’s pretty ridiculous.”

@LegionHoops @SnapshotKyle This man will LITERALLY kill someone someday, probably on the road.
He should honestly be institutionalized bc something ain’t right with him. He’s one of the least intelligent seeming, most reckless, and immature athletes I’ve ever seen

@NickNehamas You’re just pretending that the asylum system wasn’t abused and redefined in order to allow infinity immigrants into the country?
English

@TheBullionBrand @ForePlayPod I see. So they are ‘ticks’ for lack of a better word?
English

@NUCLRGOLF I often get on Augusta for being a little too snobby and elitist despite the courses prestige…but I did feel weird watching that video. It just felt unbecoming.

🚨🤦🏼♂️🥏 #OPPS — Fred Ridley was asked about new content expansion for The Masters: "A couple years ago, we had Dude Perfect playing frisbee around Amen Corner. I like those guys, but in retrospect, that may not have been the best decision." 💀

@CollegeFBPortal @oregonfootball @BarstoolDucks This is actually retarded lmao. How can a professional coach think that answering a confusing and truly random question is the same thing as handling pressure? If this is true he’s going to miss out on loads of talent
English

@TheNBABase @ShamsCharania The longer he coaches the more it becomes apparent that he’s not a good coach. He’s a “vibes guy“ whose vibes always suck.
English

Doc Rivers reportedly implored Bucks players to “look up his résumé” during a tense team meeting in March, per @ShamsCharania
Rivers told the locker room: “I took teams to the playoffs and to the championship that weren’t supposed to. I thought this was one of them.”
The meeting reportedly "rubbed large parts of the locker room the wrong way" as the Bucks continue to spiral.

@phillydrilz Ball knower. It’s this simple. People are really overcomplicating it because of vibes/feelings
English

Let me explain what a gather step is
Gather step, or “Step 0”, is the step you take after you picked up your dribble. It doesn’t count towards the 2 steps allowed.
I pause on the first step he takes after he stops dribbling (0), pause on step 2 (1) and pause on step 3.

@dartszn15 @BranonHayes @JonnyRoot_ Remember that almost all ppl thought Earth was flat and the center of our universe
Half of all ppl, are below 100 IQ. 98-99% of all people have an IQ below mine. I don’t give a shit what most people think because they’re often objectively wrong…like you all are now!
English

@MrStats_ @BranonHayes @JonnyRoot_ Everyone agrees with me. Spin it however you want, this isn’t basketball, it’s trash product and this is why the game is declining. People like you defending it doesn’t help. Enjoy your Harlem globe trotters ass league.
English

@dartszn15 @BranonHayes @JonnyRoot_ Look at the logical hoops that YOU have to jump through to continue insisting that you’re right despite all available evidence indicating otherwise. You’re just saying random incorrect shit. This isn’t conversation.
Do you have CTE?’
English

@BranonHayes @MrStats_ @JonnyRoot_ Look at the hoops you have to jump through to justify this crap. This isn’t basketball.
English

@BranonHayes @dartszn15 @JonnyRoot_ And that’s the thing: ppl can’t get over how it looks or “feels” and don’t have the mental discipline to be analytical
What makes it worse is how their bad ideas/takes are constantly validated and egos are fed by masses of people who know even less than them
English

@dartszn15 @MrStats_ @JonnyRoot_ It’s not a travel. He gathers, with two hands on the ball, then steps back 1 step and then the other foot comes down. Looks really awkward but very legal.
English

@CrudeCO77 @BowTied_Golfer So first you repeat the question as if I didn’t answer, then you do a little bit of a strawman to twist my words
I hope you have an intelligent friend or mentor who will sit you down and honestly tell you how disingenuous and foolish you look when you behave this way
English

@MrStats_ @BowTied_Golfer So you think the badge holders are what makes it "prestigious"?
lol
English

The Masters is as close as we can get to the perfect golf tournament.
Two minor tweaks:
- winning mid am shouldn’t give you an auto bid. Should only be awarded if you are a lifelong true am. Shocked Ridley (us am champ, didn’t turn pro) doesn’t change this.
- merch hauls getting out of control. Posting hauls on instagram etc = lifetime ban. Disney adult behavior.

@ChrisSt53746364 @elyseauvin @MaseDenver You already deleted the tweets because you know you were lying. Tf are you going on about now? Fucking weirdo

Rockies outfielder Troy Johnston, who went 3-for-5 in the team’s win tonight: "So, coming from the Miami Marlins, when I walk around Miami, I never saw a Miami Marlins jersey. I never saw a Miami Marlins hat. I saw nothing of the sort. When I'm walking around downtown Denver, they are really excited about the Rockies. They want the Rockies to be good. This is a sports town. We are trying to put a good product on the field. I think Paul (DePodesta's) done a great job of that. I have never seen so many supporters of one team that I've actually been a part of, that I've been on. This city and this team wants to win.”
English

@CrudeCO77 @BowTied_Golfer I already answered your question. Did you read my response?
English

There's already 10,000 general public per day in the event.
What, pray tell, is the issue with letting more in?
Cellphones are still prohibited, proper behavior is expected and enforced.
It's not like it becomes the Waste Management.
And those badge holders are the ones selling their tickets on the side market for absurd prices.
English

@dartszn15 @JonnyRoot_ What? HS also doesn’t have a shot clock and does 1+1, so I guess the NBA should copy THEM??? Nonsense. The elite set the precedent, always in everything.
Please slow down the video and recount. If you still get 4, you need to learn what a gather is and when that happened
English

@MrStats_ @JonnyRoot_ It’s four steps after the gather lol but anyway, Is this really what you want the future of the sport to be? This is not legal on any other level, why should it be legal on the biggest stage?
English

@dartszn15 @JonnyRoot_ You’re misdefining “gather” now. He absolutely did not take 4 steps after the gather. THIS is the moment where both hands touch the ball, only 2 steps after
There’s no problem you understand that others don’t, your eyes are simply deceiving you

English

@MrStats_ @JonnyRoot_ He took 4 steps after the gather. If that’s actually legal this game is cooked beyond belief and you’re part of the problem for being okay with it.
English

@CrudeCO77 @BowTied_Golfer Nah, that’s too many members of the general public, ESPECIALLY if people are able to buy tickets rather than enter the lottery. Honestly a terrible idea that would decimate the class and prestige of the event
English

Instead of complaining about the merch, complain about the limited access to the tournament.
Far too many life-long badge holders and not enough general public tickets.
The ration is 4:1.
Make it an even split, at least, and make a portion of that general public a simple purchase option, rather than lottery.
English

@dartszn15 @JonnyRoot_ AND WE ARE RIGHT per the rule book and every official that’s ever talked about this
You guys are confidently, loudly, and stubbornly WRONG. This is called arrogance and foolishness
You getting more mad at us doesn’t make you right about this rule you have misunderstood
English

@JonnyRoot_ And there will always be some dumbass nba fan boy calling it legal, making it even more annoying
