@ShaneTuttleNCAA No way!

REPORT: Michael Jordan’s $70M Gulfstream G650ER private jet has touched down in Chapel Hill, sources tell me. Jordan is rumored to meet with UNC AD Bubba Cunningham at 2pm to discuss potentially becoming the next men’s basketball head coach.

@krassenstein You’re pathetic

BREAKING: At least 13 people shot at Riverfront Live music venue, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Yet another senseless mass shooting in America as our president worries about bombing Iran.

@krassenstein You make me laugh

@DarrigoMelanie Tell me you’ve never golfed before without saying you’ve never golfed before.

Robin Leach allegedly strangled and killed a girl at a Donald Trump child-sex party, and she was buried, with others, behind the 19th hole of his golf course. So, was this investigated? Did they get a warrant and dig up the 19th hole? And if not, what are they waiting for? Seems like this would answer a lot of questions.

@harryjsisson You make me laugh 🤡

Trump and ICE got called out at the Grammys by Bad Bunny, Billie Eilish, Olivia Dean, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Shaboozey, Trevor Noah, and more. Bad night for Trump and MAGA.

@EdKrassen You’re such a tool.

Trump is surely throwing ketchup bottles this morning because this many peaceful protesters showed up to protest his administration. This never happened to Biden.

If it’s not too much trouble could the #Texans hold on to the ball

@DanClarkSports Let it go Dan

Astros fans saying the Dodgers are “ruining baseball” is peak hypocrisy - this from the franchise that ran a top-to-bottom, org-wide cheating scheme that corrupted history books and permanently stained the sport.

Might as well start playing flag football #RamsvsPanthers #NFLPlayoffs

Well said and absolutely true!

@shegone03 @MLB @facebook Thank you!

Former @MLB player John Vander Wal nailed it on his @facebook post! #shegone The game is in an awful state. I scouted professionally for two organizations over a ten-year period, and a lot of what we’re seeing today is being misunderstood or flat-out misrepresented. First, velocity. Pitchers are not throwing significantly harder across the board. The perceived jump in velocity is primarily the result of technology and measurement changes — specifically where the device picks the baseball up out of the hand. As radar and tracking systems moved closer and closer to release, the readings increased. The arm didn’t change — the measurement did. Now hitting. We’ve reached a point where “gurus” who never played the game at a high level are applying golf swing principles to baseball, largely because golf embraced analytics to identify the most efficient swing paths. The problem is that a baseball bat is not a golf club. In golf, you dump the club to get it on plane. In baseball, you cannot lose the barrel on the back side and still stay on plane consistently. Yet the tech community began preaching backside barrel dump as the answer. Front offices filled with non-baseball “propeller head” GMs bought into the presentations, and this philosophy was pushed aggressively through the minor leagues. I saw this coming as early as 2014. The result? Hitters now dump the barrel in an attempt to get on plane, but they: • Struggle to stay inside the baseball • Lose adjustability • Operate with slower effective bat speed On the pitching side, it’s no better. Pitchers are taught max effort on every pitch. Starters rarely exceed 90 pitches or five innings, work almost exclusively to either arm side or glove side, and live in deep counts. Relievers are almost universally max effort, arm-side only. The consequence is obvious: • Poor command • Inconsistent control • Little ability to sequence or adjust Despite all the technology, pitching command and overall feel are as bad as I’ve ever seen at the big-league level. More data didn’t make the game smarter. It just made it louder — and in many cases, worse. facebook.com/share/p/15V3ET… @notgaetti @BobFile @twuench @billdubs @iamrags @SliderDominate @slider_sinker @CRAIG_LAPINER @hittingguru7 @BLocsports @TheRealJHair @WillClark22 @DMEASrecruiting @GDBJr5 @mikepiazza31 @JLucroy20

@NYCMayor Stay in your lane Mr Mayor.

I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.

@joeroganhq Shane is funny just not particularly smart.

@chambleebrandel You’re wrong, again.

A lot has been made about Brooks Koepka’s possible return to the PGA Tour, some even suggesting it should be made as convenient as possible for him given his popularity and success. I certainly disagree with this. Allowing Brooks Koepka to return to the PGA Tour with no consequence, would undermine the very meritocratic foundations that make the PGA Tour legitimate - not because of who he is, but because of what his return with signal. This is not about retribution, it is about precedent. If Koepka can leave, helping to destabilize the ecosystem by joining LIV golf, and then return instantly because of talent or popularity— the message is clear: rules are for the replaceable, not the exceptional. This is corrosive. LIV did not merely offer an alternative league, it fractured fields, diluted competitive meaning, triggered legal warfare, undermined sponsorship stability, and forced structural change across all of professional golf. Koepka was not a passive bystander, he was a marquee legitimizer. You don’t punish him for being influential, but you cannot pretend his influence didn’t matter. His credibility made LIV viable, his stature normalized defection and his success ( especially after joining LIV ) validated the disruption. If success becomes a retroactive absolution, then the lesson is perverse: if you’re good enough consequences don’t apply. This is the opposite of meritocracy. A penalty would not so much be a punishment as it would be an acknowledgment of choice and the consequence does not need to be punitive to be meaningful. He could be made to re-qualify for the PGA Tour ( his 5 year exemption for winning the PGA Championship for majors may stand but not for the PGA Tour) He could have limited season eligibility and/or a suspension tied to prior contracted breach. The players who stayed on the PGA Tour paid a price. They had to absorb the uncertainty, play in weaker fields, shoulder reputational risk and take on a greater responsibility of protecting the tour’s continuity. Allowing a frictionless return privileges those who left over those who stayed, which reverses the moral order. Forgiveness without cost is not reconciliation, it’s erasure. Reintegration is appropriate. Amnesia is not. This isn’t about punishing Brooks Kopeka. It is about whether the PGA Tour believe commitments mean something. If elite players can destabilize the system, take guaranteed money and then return instantly because they are popular or successful, the message is that rules apply only to the expendable. If excellence alone erases consequences then the PGA Tour ceases to be a meritocracy and becomes a marketplace of convenience. Great players most certainly deserve respect, but institutions deserve protection.

@krassenstein 🥱

She is literally the perfect modern Democrat. Absolutely perfect. I hope everyone sees this. Just 10/10, no notes performance.

@krassenstein Keep telling yourself that 🤡

BREAKING: Former Harvard President Larry Summers to step down after emails with Jeffrey Epstein were revealed. Note that Donald Trump’s connections to Jeffrey Epstein are exponentially worse. It’s time for Donald Trump to follow the same blueprint. STEP DOWN! Who agrees?
