I’m very excited to announce I’ll be joining @EdgeZoneHQ as a college football and NBA contributor for the coming season! Podcasts, live streams and newsletters on the way as we inch closer to Farmageddon across the pond.

@den_shorts This version is gonna knock Jokic out of a top 2 finish in MVP voting.

This version of Luka clears SGA btw.

@jasonrmcintyre *Keeping BYU alive? You worded this like Dybantsa wasn’t helping his team.

While you were watching UNC fold, AJ Dybantsa was keeping Texas alive. Amazing performance. Team a letdown, but AJ looking like 86 Jordan vs the Celtics

@mckaycoppins McKay, I have been very critical of your article and believe you wrote it in bad faith and made stupid bets on purpose. Please answer me this: Would your story have been published if the Pats won?

Happy March Madness, everyone! Be careful out there.

It's been one week since @TheAtlantic published my April cover story on America's sports betting boom. The reactions have been really interesting. A few observations below:

@CamdenCaps *Julius Randle

Cam Boozer is the most obvious Jabari Smith Jr level NBA player I’ve ever seen

@CuffsTheLegend I went to Syracuse. I hate Duke.

there’s people who watch college basketball and they root for Duke to lose and they couldn’t even tell you why they hate Duke.. it’s just the trendy thing to do because most people are sheep and can’t think for themselves lol

@MGRADS Credentialed journalists do not need to prove themselves on the court. The same way players don’t need to prove themselves by writing a compelling story.

We need to change this 65 game rule. We need to stop listening to people who can’t make a left hand layup and say “hey, I have an idea…”

So this is the time when everyone posts screenshots of their Sienna ML ticket?

@IcyVert Unless you have them winning it all or making the final, you are cheering for Sienna. Gotta knock out other folks’ champions

So how’s this work. Obviously we all have Duke to win in our brackets but are we all rooting for Siena at this point now ?

Ngongba merchants

@barstoolsports CBB is “fun” but everything Fox said is right. There are a lot of archaic elements in mid major and even some high major college games.

Happy first day of March Madness to everyone not named De’Aaron Fox

For those of us with 4+ TVs, I’d like to abolish the live scores at the top right of the screen. I don’t want the possession I’m watching spoiled. Just takes the luster away.

Don't let anyone hate on you for watching 12 hours of basketball today.

@JakeTribbey No, I used EvanMiya, Torvik and Haslametrics lol

Awesome bracket, man. You used Kenpom to figure out the optimal picks relative to the field? Wow! What’s next? Using your words to talk to girls?

@slav_uh @REDMFRAIDER11 I’m not for expansion, unless it means balancing power in the conferences. Tanking happens in every sport. This year, it’s especially egregious given how loaded the draft is. This is not an every year issue, however.

@Fanalysts_FR @REDMFRAIDER11 Yea but why is the spread even that high to begin with? Because about 12 teams are not playing their guys and losing on purpose, but yea lets add 2 more teams that's exactly what nba needs

I don’t trust anyone who says the NBA is more fun to watch than CBB

@RajChipalu You don’t get to take that mantle in the regular season. Full stop.

Luka Dončić is the best player in the league right now. Full stop.

My elite 8: Houston > Nebraska Duke > UCLA Arizona > Purdue Michigan > Virginia Final Four: Houston > Duke Arizona > Michigan Houston wins the natty in a B12 title rematch. Upsets the first weekend, then chalk the remainder.

Before we get dancing here, just remember: You get to claim 1 bracket. You can make as many as you like, but only 1 matters, and you have to select it by 12:15 ET. I don't care how your 13th bracket is doing.

@getnickwright Obvious letdown spot tomorrow night, and probably without Lebron (that elbow inflammation). Aside from that, totally doable schedule.

The Lakers now sit at 44-25. Minnesota is 43-27, Houston is 41-27 & Denver is 42-28. The Lakers also have clinched the tiebreaker over all 3 of those teams… and they have 5 games left vs IND, BK, WSH, DAL & UTA. They’re now a massive, massive favorite to be the 3 seed.

@slav_uh @REDMFRAIDER11 Lakers-Rockets is on now and it’s been a back and forth battle. To be fair, the only game with a single digit spread in the photo was Bulls-Raptors

@Fanalysts_FR @REDMFRAIDER11 Fun league bro...hope u enjoying it

@EthicalHoopz @Adam_Mares How can you call that an overreaction? It’s a horrific scheduling spot of course, but Adam regurgitated real issues for the Nuggets. Game play aside, the Nuggets do not meet any of the historical ratings requirements to win a title.

@Adam_Mares Here come the overreactions! Stay on that side

This Is the game that swung me. I don't think this Nuggets team will become what I thought they'd be. Poor discipline, leadership, toughness. All the potential to be special but something is off if you can't win against a team trying to lose when your season is on the line
