@steven_24CleUnc @NicoleAuerbach That says more about those fans than it does Rick Barnes. Dean asked him to write the Foreword to his book "A Coach's Life" in 2002, so any grudge held by a fan is certainly wasted energy.

Reporter tells Rick Barnes he'll be the one coach in Chicago who won't get asked about the UNC opening. Barnes doesn't miss a beat: "I'm from North Carolina!"

@MikeAsti11 @bigdtarheel And it was as true then as it is now. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it true. It’s just as true that it should be a factor in UNC’s seeding this year, as well. We’re trying to identify a National Champion. Not handing out regular season participation awards.

@bigdtarheel WVU had multiple top 10 wins without Tucker last season. A player being hurt shouldn’t matter if the team deserves it, but Bubba said it was an issue last year when WVU literally had way more Q1 wins. It’s what he said.

North Carolina AD Bubba Cunningham once cited a key player being injured as a reason that team shouldn’t be included in the NCAA Tournament.

Breaking: North Carolina's Caleb Wilson broke his right thumb in a non-contact drill in practice Thursday and has undergone season-ending surgery, sources tell @ShamsCharania. Wilson is expected to be cleared during the NBA pre-draft process, where he'll compete to be the No. 1 pick in June.

@golfweek @eamonlynch Officer, I’d like to report a murder by @eamonlynch… “There must scarcely be a splinter of wood remaining in Jon Rahm’s Scottsdale neighborhood, given the frequency with which he fashions crosses to which he might nail himself.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

@deepdivegolf @JosephLaMagna I’ve always thought they should play the Australian Open in California to reduce the travel burden on American players and incentivize them to play. Foster’s on tap and Outback catering in the player’s lounge.

@JosephLaMagna Solution is change the PGA Championship major status to The Player Championship. Make the Australian Open the 5th major. USA doesn't need and shouldn't have 4 of the 5 majors.

🚨📺👀 JUST IN — LIV Golf’s season opener in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia averaged 23,000 viewers over the four days of its first 72-hole tournament on FS1, FS2 and Fox Business, per @JoshACarpenter. The ratings come in slightly above last year’s 3-day avg of 19,000. Did you tune in?

UNC fans will never admit it but the Final Four victory was an absolute must win for their program and psyche. Duke is right back at the top of college basketball and looking stronger than ever. If things were reversed, I don’t think UNC ever comes back from that loss.
louis vuitton jon@dukebluesamurai

Duke plays UNC this weekend. Remember that Duke has more championships than UNC in the modern era and Coach K has any many championships alone as Dean Smith + Roy Williams combined

🚨BREAKING: Brown University student Alex Shieh previously EVISCERATED the school's administrators for having a $46 million deficit, despite surging costs for students. They pay $90K+ PER YEAR. Alex Shieh: "What about the kids who weren't born on third base?! [...] Brown is on track to run a $46 million DEFICIT this year. WHERE is all the money going?" "I'll tell you where it's going. It's going into an empire of administrative bloat and bureaucracy! Brown employs 3,805 full time non-instructional staff for just 7,229 undergrads. That's one administrator for every two students." "This isn't education. This is bloat paid for on the backs of students and families who are mortgaging their futures for a shot at a better life!" Do you firmly support Alex Shieh on this? A. Huge Yes B. No IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!! MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@Kingche2 @RedEagleUpdates If you disagree you believe that the mission of a University should be to provide unnecessary jobs funded by the families of students, or worse, federally-backed student loans.

@mchappell51 What was your logic for voting for Kraft over Belichick? You seem to think that’s a point in your defense, when it really just undermines your credibility even further.

I'm not going to respond to many comments, but I'll make an exception. As I mentioned in the story, I tend to favor a Senior candidate over a coach/GM. Belichick will almost assuredly get in next year. If these Senior guys don't make it, they might never get a chance. I'm not going to mention the 2 Seniors I voted for. It's not a simple case of which is a better nominee. And this has zero to do with the Patriots. I voted for Kraft. I stood up and presented Vinny, whose career began with 3 SB wins with New England. As for Polian and Dungy talking against Belichick, that simply did not happen. There are facts and then there is crap people who weren't in the room insist on putting out there.
Jeffrey Banks@jefbanks

Hi Mike. You’re to be congratulated for your accountability. It’s an all-too-rare trait. That said, can you please explain your thinking regarding how any two of the three veteran players merited inclusion before Belichick? As a Colts reporter, the optics are that you had some axe to grind. I don’t know if that’s fair. But the guys whose names are mentioned as influencing the vote are Polian and Dungy. These are “Colts guys,” and so are you. I don’t like assumptive thinking. So, I’m asking directly: which two veteran players did you select over Belichick, and why?

@daringantt I’m old enough to remember when being a sports journalist was a respected profession held in high regard. When the integrity and competency of journalists has withered away to nothing, this is what remains. You weren’t the cause of the problem, but you are the byproduct of it

I really don't, for two reasons. 1. Because the Hall asks us to not disclose. (I'd be eager to, but those are their rules. ) 2. I'm kind of tired of feeding this particular outrage machine for someone else's profit.

In my book Football Done Right I strongly urged and established a criteria for head coaches to qualify for the HOF. This would remove politics from the vote and would avoid the complete injustice that occurred today. When I wrote the book I said the whole system was flawed today’s news confirms that belief.

@LouStagner It’s no different than when a guy thinks he “catches” a ball and screams for a replay that inevitably confirms it hit the ground before he had full control.

@LouStagner Because mentally, it feels the same as it does when you’re playing backyard football at 7 years-old. You don’t have the ball, so you feel like it’s not a catch. You’re not thinking about the catch calculations that ten guys in the league office are discussing.

I am a lifelong Bills fan. Why does it look like Cooks is upset with himself after the play? If he thought he caught it, wouldn’t he react differently?

I bought a small residential HVAC company In less than a year, I changed everything: - Fired and replaced 100% of employees - Fired 40% of the customers (commercial) - Sold 100% of the vehicles and bought all new - Opened a 2nd office - Expanded into a new geography - Scrapped the website and built a new one - Replaced Housecall Pro for ServiceTitan - Replaced the payroll company for Gusto - Added medical, dental, & vision insurance - Added 401k - Invested 6 figures in marketing - Restructured inventory management - Revamped payment and collection terms - Revamped 100% of the price book I don’t have an operations background but I do understand this industry is a “people business” and it became very apparent to me after closing that I had the wrong people. Not only did I have the wrong people, but I had broken processes, no leadership, and a toxic culture. So I completely rebuilt the company from the ground up. At this point the only original thing left from the acquisition is the name on the door. I did all of this out of necessity. Now that we have the right people and processes in place, we can move to the next chapter. Growth.
