The joy of transcribing interviews is reliving great conversations with great people. The misery of transcribing is, well, transcribing.

For @PSAcard, I asked @3bradensmith about the inscriptions he puts on his @BowmanCards low-numbered autos. A collector himself, he knows what collectors love, so he adds a little extra, like #BoilerUp or Peaky B. Now, he's added a hard-earned inscription. psacard.com/articles/artic…

I asked some of the stars of this year's @MarchMadnessMBB, including @BoilerBall's @3bradensmith, @CanesHoops' @MalikReneau and @CycloneMBB's @TaminLipsey what it's like to be on Bowman U basketball cards. Not shockingly, they love it. For @PSAcard ... psacard.com/articles/artic…

Michigan’s roster-building philosophy of only recruiting players who are agile giants with excellent touch in the paint or quick guards who never miss from 3 is solid. More teams should do that.

that was just about as loud as I've ever heard any arena ever. the Santa Clara 3 and the Kentucky answer at the buzzer ... wow

As 10 seed Santa Clara takes a 40-38 lead over 7-seed Kentucky here in St. Louis, I'll point out that 10 seeds are 3-3 at NCAA Tournament games I've covered so far. #FaganJinx sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basket…

If you are more fortunate than others, build a longer table not a higher fence.

Will the #FaganJinx make its return to the NCAA Tournament? I'll be at the first/second round games in St. Louis. I did a recap of the crazy upsets I've seen live back in 2018 ... right BEFORE I was there to watch UMBC upend No. 1 seed Virginia. Yeah. sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-basket…

What a great night of sports. WBC semifinal between the USA and the Dominican Republic AND Selection Sunday? I’d like to think the @MLBNetwork crew asked Kyle Schwarber for his NCAA Tournament picks off-air.
