@achristovichh Don't even ponder this til the women's regionals go back to 4 locations.

Val Ackerman has been championing the concept of putting both the men's and women's Final Fours in the same city for YEARS, and has said she's been extremely disappointed the NCAA has opted not to even try it. Nor surprising she's still championing as she prepares to retire.
Seth Davis@SethDavisHoops

Should the men's and women's Final Fours be held in the same city? I never thought so until @BIGEAST commissioner Val Ackerman made her case in an interview with me and @TheAndyKatz for the Hoops HQ Show. She's got me convinced! @hhqsports @BigECommish hoopshq.com/ncaa/val-acker…

@saba_h Heck, mine start on a Word doc in a folder, then transfer to our group Google doc, then into a CMS. When there are bad storms at night, I wake up and worry if whatever story I am working on is on the cloud and rue that my notes are not there, too, in case there is destruction.

The people who promised to fix everything on day 1 are still out here blaming Joe Biden on day 467.

It was maybe two years ago that Caitlin Clark had to sit on SNL and chide the hosts for regularly dogging out the WNBA. Now they’re up there telling jokes about it being more culturally significant than the NBA.
Pop Base@PopBase

Kam Patterson jokes about Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson’s breakup on SNL: “Who even is this guy? Wait a minute, there’s a WNBA for men? What would you even call that? The MNBA? To me, he’s not Klay, he’s dirt.”

@mfonderkaye In the '90s I had the idea to team up with friend to research and photograph old newspaper buildings, which were already starting to go away. I very much regret not doing that. So many gems lost.

@BruceDall131 Nothing better than starting a Sunday morning with the newspaper. I really, really miss that.

A hall of fame class of journalists is leaving @AP today — 40 reporters and photo/videographers who've taken buyouts as our US news operation shrinks. They've broken untold stories, captured searing images, held power to account and made us all smarter. We'll miss them dearly.

@gray_quetti @cyclonemeatball The OP literally talked about race. I agree with you that it's amazing without race, & that was why I hoped they were kidding, because they made it about race.

The next time someone presents a "too-soon 2027 NFL mock draft" or "too-soon 2026-27 college basketball rankings," agree wholeheartedly with them, and dismiss their work on the spot.

@hemming_hawing Chill games are my favorite games. Of any sport. I've been to enough sellouts and squished my butt into enough games in enough sports. Of course it's not ideal for the teams, but I love it.

Almost forgot to post this from UNI's spring game. At the end of the game, all the kids got to come down and try to tackle a Northern Iowa player on the kickoff. One kid might make business decisions for a while. (He seemed to be just fine)

@unclebarkycom I once saw someone setting up a photo outside this, with a tripod. I couldn't figure out why they needed a tripod. Would there be some motion? Was George going to rise from the dead?

Here lies George Washington at his Mount Vernon estate. A really great place to visit.
