@RobMcLamb RIP. The Hitcher scared the dickens out of me as a kid. I'd rather have been attacked by the clown in Poltergeist than taken a car ride with Rutger Hauer.

Rutger Hauer was a terrific actor. He was a wonderful villain in several movies, including The Hitcher—which I still enjoy watching.

JUST IN: Renowned Dutch actor Rutger Hauer, who starred in "Blade Runner," dies at age 75, according to a report.

@ebosshoops That looks very, very bad. Do they have separate water fountains, too?

From an #NCAAacademy. Makes it tough to tell kids that D1 isn’t all that matters when coaches are getting that message at an NCAA event.

Now that Zion Williamson has signed with Jordan Brand, it serves notice once again that branding can overcome even years of grassroots investment. Just think how much *total* value Michael Jordan has provided to Nike.

@maxkellerman Is this the third time you have broadcast one of these tragedies? You must really love the sport.
English
@GoldenCalebT Agreed. If you can't leave the ring fully under your own power, should automatically be a gurney situation. Too much risk.
English
Get the camera off Dadashev, get him on a gurney, and get him to the hospital ASAP. That looks bad.

I hope ESPN+ didn't just make a big mistake showing a fighter in distress after a bout. Crossed the line, in my opinion.

The #USWNT should probably be Prime Minister now that they've successfully facilitated Brexit.

@ClayDade @Teelittle0608 That camp had tons of talent. I still have a lot of the old head shots and some video from it. I featured Nas in my report for Scout. Congratulations to you guys.
English
@Teelittle0608 Big Congratulations!!!! To Nas, you and family awesome awesome!

That is, without question, one of the most shocking things I've ever seen in sports. And *that's* why you don't marinate fights. Andy Ruiz, HW champ!

It's nights like this that I miss classic HBO boxing. Everything about this DAZN card is awful. The fights, obviously, but also the production and commentary. There's no tension at all inside MSG.

@ebosshoops Strong words. I know you saw freshman LeBron James, at least in the state playoffs broadcast. Better than that, or are you referring strictly to players you saw in person?
English
Been thinking about the best freshmen that I have ever seen after Emoni Bates today. He’s definitely in the top few and maybe best. Greg Oden and Derrick Rose come to mind as others who made as strong of a first year impression in years past.
English
@JustCallMeMav But did you have just one, or more than one?

This seems like an opportune time to talk Damian Lillard. My man @ebosshoops and I stumbled onto a random court in April 2007 in Las Vegas and saw him lighting it up in an off-brand game. Wish we'd seen him more.

Quite a day for UNC basketball, getting Cole Anthony and Anthony Harris. One immediate star in the mold of Coby White; one potential multi-year starter in the mold of prior championship players.

This is very cool for Stackhouse. Not following the script for a first-time college coach.

@WorldWideWob @CompuBox To answer the question, though, the reason is that they are too big. Fights start at the same range as for everyone else, but they can't extend their arms properly. So they overshoot & miss, throw roundhouses to cut the angle or weird cuffing slaps like Shaq against Robertson
English
@WorldWideWob Does swinging at fans count? Wasn't it Jermaine O'Neal who was preparing to throw a monster punch at a fan in the Detroit brawl, but he slipped? I wonder how that would register.
English
@RonMFlores I agree, but I mean it in terms of his career arc. There were people who thought Foreman might severely injure a past prime Ali. It was a stunning and shockingly easy win.
English
@Rob_Harrington Rob, hard to compare a violent sport like boxing, to golf.
Guys have won majors older than Tiger is today.
Still incredible comeback story.
English
Tiger winning today was his Rumble in the Jungle moment, when Ali beat Foreman in Zaire. But Tiger is more than a decade older than Ali was at that time. Incredible.
English
With a 'B.' I remember when franchises were worth a paltry $100M or so. The NBA has done a great job adapting to the social media era, so this news is not a surprise.

For the first time ever, the average value of an NBA team ($1.9 Billion) is worth more than the average value of an MLB team ($1.7 Billion), according to Forbes.
