CRAZYYYY!!!🤯🤯 14-year-old Melanie Doggett 🇺🇸 runs 11.01s over 100m at the Bill Thornton Invitational! She is 14 years old!!!!!!

@awfulannouncing Is Russell and Wilt still playing?

"We had technical difficulties! That's the first time I have ever seen that, and I've been watching sports for 60 years! That I've seen that in a playoff game" Chris Russo rips the NBA on Prime

@threeinningfan Haven’t played the Phillies yet. They’ll get well then

Mets have an 8-game losing streak and can't score runs. Here are some ideas why: 1. Soto out (duh) 2. Lindor has neither his head nor his bat in the game 3. Lineup still doesn't hit lefties 4. Swinging early in counts and not making opposing pitcher work. Other ideas?

@otokyo__ All 20 baby.

6 for me!! I feel confident nobody Has all 20 How many for you?

@TomCrean One answer to all of this. Draft should be a pure lottery. Every team.

Can you imagine a family of 4 buying tickets, paying for parking and concessions and having this be one of the only games the family will get to see all year ??? Happens every night and it defies any reasonable explanation for the family who’s paying full price.

@threeinningfan You will love PNC park. Best ball park I’ve been to and I go back to Shibe Park and Crosley field days. Never made it to Forbes field

The Bucs locked up 19 year old phenom Konnor Griffin. They also have Skenes. Are the Pirates building something real? Not sure. But no one is joking about them. Watch the short.

@wingoz @TheMasters Lighten up Francis. It’s a friggin golf tournament founded by a bunch of old guys who were great sportsmen except for one little thing- they didn’t like blacks and Jews. I hope it snows for 4 days

.@TheMasters has always been defined by one thing above everything else: tradition. ESPN is missing the point. Full video: youtu.be/AobGvW7h3OA

@DennisKoch10 @SquawkCNBC @CNBC I got an idea. Why don’t you change the channel?

Joe Kernen has to resign or be fired from @SquawkCNBC I think America has enough problems without this Far Right Wingnut. Ho one can take him seriously any more. Tired of his gaslighting and mumbling. Besides he always loses. #CNBS #USA #Trump #uspoli @CNBC

@Super70sSports Hyman Roth always makes money for his partners

What’s the best one-liner in movie history?

@FilmzLoverz Hyman Roth always made money for his partners

Originally, it was supposed to be Clemenza who agreed to testify against the Corleones. According to Francis Ford Coppola, Richard S. Castellano (the highest-paid actor in The Godfather (1972)) wanted to write his own lines and demanded a large salary increase. Consequently, his character was replaced by Frankie Pentangeli (Michael V. Gazzo), who received an Oscar nomination for the performance. However, according to Ardell Sheridan, Castellano refused to regain the fifty pounds required for the role due to health reasons, so Coppola decided to replace him rather than have a thinner Clemenza.

@Zigmanfreud @TheMasters The great Bobby Jones, a great champion and sportsman. Just didn’t like blacks and Jews

That sound you just heard was Bobby Jones rolling over in his grave… On live ESPN telecast of the Masters Par 3 contest, Hoatong Li just dropped an F-bomb while taking a photo with Kevin Hart. I love the Par 3 contest, but things are getting a bit out of hand for @TheMasters

@PASeay13 The great champion Bobby Jones. One of the the greatest golfers ever and truly a great sportsman and gentleman. Just didn’t like blacks and jews

This is Clifford Roberts, the “benevolent dictator” who made The Masters into the greatest golf tournament in the world. He once ousted a CBS announcer from A. N. G. C. who referred to the patrons as a “mob”. Were he here today, Kelce and Hart wouldn’t make it past the gate.

@RealSamRoberts Move the tournament to Bushwood. Rodney Dangerfield will be the starter

Having Pat McAfee, Jason Kelce, Bert Kreischer and Kevin Hart at The Masters is the epitome of ESPN's cultural degradation of sports. Augusta National should be the ultimate place of dignity and reverence and these ignominious dullards debase it with their sophomorish hijinks.

@girdley Founded by the great golfer and sportsman Bobby Jones. A great champion, just didn’t like blacks or Jews.

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why The Masters Doesn’t Want Your Money In 2002, a women’s rights activist named Martha Burke sent a polite letter to Augusta National Golf Club with a simple request: please consider admitting a female member. The chairman at the time, a man named Hootie Johnson, responded firmly. He said that someday they might admit a female member, but they would not do it under pressure. What happened next surprised everyone. Johnson called the Masters’ three biggest sponsors, IBM, Coca-Cola, and Citigroup, and told them not to return. Instead, the tournament would run its television broadcast with no advertising. For two straight years, the Masters aired without commercials, leaving roughly $20 million a year in sponsorship revenue on the table. Even today, the Masters continues to operate in ways that seem almost irrational. The tournament is estimated to leave around $250 million in potential revenue on the table each year. They sell pimento cheese sandwiches for just $1.50 and limit commercialization in ways that most businesses would never consider. And yet, despite all of these unusual decisions, the Masters remains one of the most prestigious sporting events in the United States. So what would make an organization run a business this way? Is it greed, elitism, or something much more strategic? This is the rise of the Masters.

@KKuester15 It was a Saturday morning I believe and I was flipping around on the dial and I happened to catch the last half of that championship game by accident. Still one of the best sporting events I’ve ever seen. 15 years later my grandson graduated from West Point. Go Army Beat Navy

20 years ago today - Maggie Dixon passed away. Her joy/passion for West Point and the game is still present in our facilities and on post. A few favorite characteristics I have heard about Maggie: She made everyone feel important, she was passionate, she had a relentless work ethic, no job was too small or too big, and she was LOVED BY ALL. Forever a champion. The goal is to live the way that Maggie lived. 🖤💛

@SeizeTheNae Lindsey Nelson- he could do it all

Who’s the greatest play-by-play voice of all time? A. Vin Scully B. Al Michaels C. Mike Breen D. Keith Jackson E. Chick Hearn F. Marv Albert G. Kevin Harlan H. Pat Summerall

@ChrisMurphyCT Your an antisemitic a hole. Happy Easter.,

Trump is calling reporters today to tell them he is going to commit mass war crimes next week. GOP leaders need to stop him. Never mind that blowing up bridges and power plants and killing innocent Iranians won't reopen the Strait. It's also a clear war crime. 1/ A 🧵on why:

@uniformcritic No one better than Lindsey Nelson

HOFer Gil Hodges was born on this date in 1924…

@ByPatForde Philly public league always beat the Catholic league. Again last night.
