@awfulannouncing So unnecessary. We went from Jay Wright to this.

CBS and TNT leaned way too much on game shows and gimmicks in NCAA Tournament studio coverage that missed the mark.

@Osinttechnical @DropSiteNews We are going to drop eggs on Iran, the size of which no one has ever seen before.

President Trump, from the South Portico of the White House, with the Easter Bunny, addresses Iran:

This Michigan lead feels vulnerable with Lendeborg’s four trouble and injury.

@CMSPIRATE @notthefakeSVP I would pay to watch an alt cast of Bob Knight’s hologram commenting on the Chainsmokers.

@notthefakeSVP I like to imagine Bob Knight having to wait for this

“What if we just put a DJ set in the middle of the Final Four semifinals? How bout those chainsmokers?”

This Dr Naismith schtick is painful. Someone thought this was a good way to prepare the audience for the biggest game of the year.

That wasn’t quite a Woody Hayes moment, but it might be Geno’s time.

'The Gambler' (1974). Terrific movie about a compulsive sports gambler. In this scene, James Caan's character has $50,000 ($330,000 in 2026 dollars) on the Lakers at a pick 'em. He already owes roughly the same amount to a different bookie, played by Paul Sorvino.
Not ideal.

@susanslusser @TearsAreBlue Never knew it existed. You learn something new every day.

Blade Tidwell works the final three innings and earns his first big-league save, against his former team.

One of best mobile fighting vehicles ever built by any Army if you ask me…

On this day in 1981, the U.S. Army unveils the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle. Modelled on the 1976 GMC 26 Palm Beach line of motorhomes, it's fully equipped with machine guns, flame throwers and rocket launchers, along with a state of the art communications and navigation suite.

@GeorgeJDaniel I included Bucks as control sale because Haslam's will have rotating governor role (NBA counts it as control sale). Good catch on TWolves, thanks. I missed them while copy pasting into spreadsheet from database. Stay tuned for update.

The sale of the #trailblazers was approved by #NBA yesterday at an enterprise value of $4.1B, the fifth-most expensive (unadjusted for inflation) control sale in history of sports.

The Giants are making the ‘26 Yankees look like the ‘27 Yankees.

@Jake_Mintz I bought MLB+ and couldn’t even get it to work. MLB used to have the simplest app and now it’s just needessly complicated.
English
Tried to buy MLBTV for my parents and it took me 30 mins to figure it out. Accidentally bought something called MLB+ in the process which is just radio and MLB Network??!?!
Maybe I’m an idiot but it’s incredible how difficult they’ve made this to do through the app.

@BillSimmons Don’t shorten the season. Bring back the divisions and go with old school minor league baseball style first half / second half champs. All division half winners qualify with home court seeding and wildcards to best overall.
English
0 for 3!
Also — notice how none of the ideas involve shortening the season which is partly how we fell into this tanking sinkhole in the first place. They come up with 3 “solutions” and none of the 3 are “what would 72 games look like?”
This league is so frustrating

The NBA presented three comprehensive anti-tanking concepts to its Board of Governors on Wednesday, with modifications expected to each before a formal vote in May, per ESPN sources. 1. 18 teams in draft lottery (seeds 7-15 in each conference) – flattened odds, with bottom 10 teams having an 8% chance, the remaining 20% odds distributed in decreasing order for 11 through 18, and and a lottery drawing for all 18 picks. 2) 22 teams in lottery using 2-year record (seeds 7-15, plus the four playoff first round exits in both conferences). Lottery teams would reach a minimum win total floor in each season, such as 25 wins. If a team falls short of the floor, it gets slotted to meet the floor. Top 4 drawn as part of lottery, as is currently. 3) 18 teams in a "5 by 5" lottery – bottom 5 teams have equal odds for the top pick, with lottery formed for picks 1-5. Bottom 5 teams have a floor at 10; those that fall out of top 5 get sorted in a separate drawing.

@ShamsCharania Go all Hunger Games. Make the top 18 rookies free agents that can only be signed by the bottom 18 teams. Each team gets to sign one player (subject to trades - if a team has another team’s pick, they own the right to sign a player).
