Jorge Soler, through an interpreter, on Braves manager Walt Weiss tackling him as part of the melee. Weiss was his bench coach in Atlanta. “We have a good relationship. I don’t think he tried to do anything against me. We’re friends. I think he was just trying to protect me.”
@thereedemerson This is something Bobby Cox would’ve done. I can get behind a manager who isn’t afraid to stick his nose in there even though it was on Braves legend Jorge Soler
So this is college sports now? A completely new roster every season? Forever expanding playoffs/tournaments? And always escalating costs to attend or watch at home? Is it all still…fun?

Easter is our reminder that hope isn’t dead. No matter what you’re facing, the tomb is still empty. And that changes everything.
Because He lives, you can face tomorrow. You can lead your family well. You can leave a legacy that matters.
From the Ramsey family to yours, Happy Easter!

Rick Barnes on Ethan Burg: "I’ll tell you a great story with Ethan. He was really struggling, and I actually asked him one day, I said, are you about ready to quit? Because he was down, about as low as you could be.
He said to me, Coach, I will never, ever quit on these guys. He said, this is the first real team I’ve ever been a part of. He says if I never play another minute, I will never quit on these guys. I promise you. He said I love them. There’s a brotherhood with us. I would never quit on them.
And he hasn’t. The last couple games, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him. He has maturity, and he went through a tough time.
You’ve got to realize, his family has been in and out of bunkers in Tel Aviv for months now. It’s been tough on him, but he’s handled it really, really well.
That was one of the greatest things that any player’s ever said to me. He said, I would never quit on these guys. And he wasn’t playing. He just kept grinding and good things happen to people that do that.”
To put Tennessee’s three straight Elite Eight trips in perspective…
This is just the second time Duke has been to three straight Elite Eights. Coach K did it once 25 years ago.
