The cold front that is bringing some cooler, cloudier conditions for today is starting to fall apart off to our west and doesn’t look to bring many rain chances for us

@CelliniNick @ATLHawks "Let's get physical" should be playing in the locker room. Knicks were Knicks: push, bump, whine, complain, facial 'whaaa?'

Some game one reactions: CJ can’t lead the team in shots taken Dyson Daniels literally can’t score Jalen Johnson must dictate the pace, not CJ NAW needs to find his game On to game two Monday…. @ATLHawks

YouTube TV really needs to step up its deployment of ESPN Unlimited. This is another weekend that YouTube TV subscribers pay for ESPN in their packages, but can't access a premium WWE event (Wrestlemania) because they have to pay separately for ESPN Unlimited. $GOOG $TKO $DIS

Thanks for posting this! I covered this Pistons team, knew all the guys & coach Herb Brown. It may just be my age - & the fact that this happened late on the West Coast, but I have NO recall of this fight! Also love Rick Barry standing there nodding, "That's right. That's right!"

Another big anti-monopoly win, this one freezing a gigantic TV merger so our lawsuit can proceed, all on the heels of our Ticketmaster win. A federal judge just ordered Nexstar to halt its integration with Tegna while our lawsuit plays out. The two companies have to keep operating separately. For North Carolina, that means local news in Charlotte, the Triad, and beyond stays independent for now. Your local reporters keep their jobs. Your newsrooms stay separate. Quick recap of what happened a few weeks ago: We sued to stop the merger because it would hand one company 228 television stations reaching roughly 80% of American households, more than double the FCC's 39% national ownership cap. Legally, you can't concentrate that much media power in one company. Nexstar sprinted to close the deal before a court could stop them. Less than 24 hours after we filed, the FCC waived its own rules. The USDOJ dropped its investigation the same day. It sure looked like the fix was in. Nexstar declared victory and claimed the deal was done. So we filed an emergency motion, and the court just ruled for us. In a 52-page opinion, the court found that the merger would probably raise prices and reduce competition in dozens of local markets, and that a very-speedy FCC approval is no shield from antitrust law. The ruling freezes Nexstar and Tegna as separate companies while the court hears our full case. No layoffs. No consolidation. Exactly what we asked for. This order came down the same week as our big win in the Ticketmaster case. Another instance of USDOJ allowing a deal that was bad for consumers and state AGs taking it to court and winning. We intend to do that again here.

MS NOW confirms: The Trump DOJ has removed the lead prosecutor overseeing the investigation into John Brennan. Maria Medetis Long told colleagues that she had recently told her superiors that there was not ample justification to bring criminal charges against Brennan.

#Giants star Dexter Lawrence is being traded to the #Bengals in a pre-Draft blockbuster that includes the No. 10 pick heading to the Giants, per me and @MikeGarafolo. NYG gets premium draft compensation, Cincy gets a lynchpin, while Sexy Dexy gets a new, big-money extension.

Jerry West says he hasn’t picked up a basketball in years and casually hit free throws like it’s muscle memory that never left. This is a 79-year-old West, with no reps or rhythm just pure instinct kicking in. That's why he's the logo!

The NFL is not reviewing the conduct of New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel in the wake of photos taken of him with journalist Dianna Russini, league spokesman Brian McCarthy told ESPN.
