@EsotericCD Perhaps the biggest tragedy of the Van Hagar years is that Edward was probably producing his best guitar work in a purely melodic sense, but it was in service to poorly executed cock rock lyrics like those of “Black and Blue” and “Poundcake”

@marshallpruett What are Legge’s plans if there are significant delays? Is she going to park it and head to Charlotte?

For those asking whether it’s going to be a rain out today at the #Indy500, my best advice is to open the Weather app on your phone, add the lovely town of Speedway, Indiana, and monitor it throughout the day.

@OVTweetmarck Frost would have gotten less time than he did if he wasn’t a hometown hero. He and Patrick Ewing are cautionary tales in this respect

Completely incorrect (Frost got what 5 years) and also in this era if you can't win immediately, something's wrong.
93.7 The Ticket@937TheTicket

Troy Dannen in an article put out by ESPN's Heather Dinich: "Nebraska has harmed itself in the past by being too quick to react when things didn't happen soon enough instead of giving enough time for the coach to build the program." "Did anyone think there was a quick trigger on Riley? Quick trigger on Frost? No. I don't know that I think that Nebraska has had a quick trigger." Early Break reacts to Troy Dannen's comments to Heather Dinich while at Big Ten spring meetings, while setting the mark for what would be a satisfactory "leap" for Matt Rhule in year four. @937JakeSorensen | @steven_sipple

Resistance to data centers is overdetermined in the current socio-political moment, but I think the preoccupation with it underrates the baseline nimby impulse. Vanishingly short list for which you'd get a positive answer to the "would you want this built in your area" question.

@Gill_Gross That could just be a function of a different approach instead of going huge to a big target every time. His ace rate this season is the highest it’s been since 2021 and he’s winning 75.7% of first serve points compared to 73.6% last year

@RyanCostello I’m an alum. The current Dean started in 2019 and by the summer of 2020, had completely remade the law school in her image. Also, when they were interviewing candidates for the position, she had the least impressive resume by far.

The VA NAACP argues that the VA Supreme Court's decision on the redistricting amendment "does violence to Virginia law," and that the court committed "a due process violation of massive scale" by not ruling until after the vote (which the state requested): supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/25/2…

This analysis is almost certainly correct. But at the end of the day, it remains that the only major *issues* on which Fetterman has split with his party are Israel and responding to domestic antisemitism. x.com/jmart/status/2…
Jonathan Martin@jmart

Whenever he’s asked — in public or private — about a switch, he invariably cites two statistics to explain how baffled he is about why people would even ask the question. There’s his record of voting with Democrats 93 percent of the time and the running joke he has with McCormick about how he, Fetterman, somehow polls better with Republicans than the state’s actual GOP senator. Fetterman, however, is shrewd enough of a political operator to know exactly why he’s alienated his party and become a Republican favorite. It may have started by standing with Israel when most of his colleagues became horrified with the Likud government’s actions in Gaza following Hamas’ 2023 attack. But Fetterman has since exacerbated the situation by conducting himself in these tribal times in ways that please the right and anger the left: He largely ignores Trump’s transgressions, finds ways to support the White House in high-profile moments and is increasingly ubiquitous when criticizing his own party on right-coded media in ways that affirm conservative views about liberal excess. In the modern information environment, this posture, of course, plays a far bigger role in shaping his political image than the totality of his voting record.

@Bob_Bacala More importantly, it was contested. There were 4 horses within 2 lengths of the lead at 6 furlongs. If you take Six Speed out of it, it was three horses within a length

Eagle-eyed fan notes: Irony that Hubie Hurkacz, now coached by Gilles Cervara, defeated Emilio Nava in the second round of the Cagliari Challenger....meaning with Nava out, the US @rolandgarros reciprocal wild card goes to Nishesh Basavareddy, coached until recently by....Gilles Cervara.

@jon_wertheim Completely disagree that a four year ban is disproportionate. There’s no difference between refusing to provide a sample and testing positive. If the punishment wasn’t exactly the same, people who were caught red handed would just refuse the test and take the lesser penalty.

@RobertJamis Josh Allen is one of the few successful quarterbacks in the last 20 years or so who doesn’t meet the 60% completion percentage metric. In fact, the only one of the seven requirements he did meet was TD/INT ratio.

Impossible to find at this point, but generally good to adhere as closely as possible to this standard. Guys coming in now get much fewer practice reps.
Jack Sperry@jack_sperry

Bill Parcells' 7 requirements for drafting QBs out of college include... 1. Are they coming out as a senior? 2. Did they graduate college? 3. Were they a 3-year starter in college? 4. Did they have 30+ college starts? 5. Did they win 23+ games in college? 6. Did they have a career 60+% COMP% in college? 7. Did they have a career 2:1 TD/INT ratio in college? This year, 7 QBs prospects meet all of this criteria:⬇️ - Drew Allar - Carson Beck - Taylen Green - Cade Klubnik - Luke Altmyer - Diego Pavia - Behren Morton None of the QBs inside the top 100 on the consensus big board (Mendoza, Simpson, Nussmeier) meet all these requirements 😂

@ThreadOrder Also, to your original point, I’m like 99 percent sure that every clay Future in the US is played Har-Tru, which is faster than some of the slower hard courts. Hell, even Houston is on Har-Tru painted maroon.

National Federations pour billions into talent development in the hope of creating champions when the answer has been so obvious for so long. 1) have red clay 2) have lots of tournaments Italy model
Tim Mayotte@TimMayotte

@USTA I longer I play and teachj tennis the more I'm convinced that American Players need to develop their games on RED CLAY. It demands more balanced and rhythmic movement as well as encouraging faster racquet speed and great variety of shots. Watch HOUSTON right now!

Again, not defending it, but also not surprised to see this statement from the jockey’s agent based on this horse’s previous races. If this is indeed true, which it very well might be, it still should be something that is disclosed to the betting public for both their protection as the most important group in horse racing and for the protection of the rider. That’s a rule that needs to be implemented, in my opinion.

Darin Zoccali@atTheTrack7

I am not going to defend it and I cannot explain what the reason is, but every race, whether she wins, runs 2nd, 3rd, 6th, etc., she is never asked. It’s quite bizarre but there has to be something with this filly that causes her to be ridden in such a manner. I’m not smart enough to understand why though.
