@DOMTIBERI Dom, stop being a homer.

Ridiculous take!!!

@bschaeffer12 @heathcummingssr 100%.... and not playing the sound for games

@heathcummingssr number one pet peeve going to a sports bar is a blasé attitude about tv alignment

Went to a sports bar today to watch the tournament. We'd been there before, good food, good beer. Walked in and they had zero tournament games on. "Working on it." After one beer they still had zero games on. Mostly baseball and football re-runs on the TVs...a few TVs with a tournament app on, but "free trial expired.". Obviously, we left. I still don't actually understand any of it. How do you own a "sports bar" and not plan on having all the games on all day on one of the most important sports days of the year?

@MattNel51807761 @Mansgottaeat2 @BDFITL Royal isnt a starter. Good luck getting Bynum back.

@Mansgottaeat2 @BDFITL No more Gabe Cupps for God's sake

TCU got bailed. Bruce played poorly. Buckeyes gonna be nice next year with Mobley, Bynum, Royal, & Thompson. Got space for 4 transfers.

@Osuhoopsenjoyer @NotJ0NRoth First team, huh? Dude disappeared 2nd half and then rigged uo the court for the last shot....first team, huh?

@therealTM_1 @NotJ0NRoth Should have been on first team

AP Second Team All Americans: Thijs De Ridder, Virginia Joshua Jefferson, Iowa State Nate Ament, Tennessee Jeremy Fears, Michigan State Bruce Thornton, Ohio State Wow.

@Amos12342505 @croatian_footy This is brilliant on their part. They see money being wasted on stadiums in ZG and will now ask for the same thing.

@croatian_footy Funny how they ignored this past years while they were still in the title race till late in the season and called the stadium the best in Croatia Now when the club ran out of legends to sign for them, ran out of ideas for big transfer names, they resort to begging for stadium

🚨 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒𝐅𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐇: A report reveals that the Poljud stadium has been structurally unsafe for YEARS ⚠️ Documents show experts warned as early as 2023 that the roof lacks required safety, with corrosion, overload issues, and aging structure risks. Despite this, authorities declared it safe for use. [tportal]

@SadOSUhoopsFan @bbbbready Are u not familiar with OSU....soft team. That TCU was spot on.....TCU wins this 19 of 20 times

@bbbbready They’re getting wide open shots and we are not

They’re shooting way better than us. Need the 3 to open up for us so badly

@bbbbready @AdamJardy Told u.....this OSU team is soft. TCU by double digits wasy. OSU has no athletes

@therealTM_1 @AdamJardy Tell Amare Bynum these guys are more athletically gifted than him I guarantee he laughs in your face

#OhioState has more size, but TCU feels its physicality will more than make up for that. “I think at the end of the day we win this nine times out of 10 because of how physically gifted we are as a team and athletically gifted,” David Punch told me. dispatch.com/story/sports/c…

@Bucksmba @TheDrivingCorn @Genetics56 My point is volleyball has no impact on tv dollars.

@TheDrivingCorn @therealTM_1 @Genetics56 Volleyball had its strongest TV year ever. But that's not explaining $10 million difference. Osu FB TV ave. 5.6 million. Neb FB TV ave. 1.4 million. Neb VB TV ave. Under 1 million. If we are now going to go off TV rating to apportion media contracts OSU will get the most

Big Ten Conference - FY 25 Media Rights Revenues For All 16 Public Schools. Note: This is not the TV deal media rights dollars only. It includes everything, as noted in the image text. Nebraska generates the most revenue from MR in theBig Ten. Others should copy Neb?

@MatthewR2415 @DanWoikeSports Oh, he still wants in. But, he realized he doesn't have the $ to even be a minority owner.

@DanWoikeSports that's weird. He said for years he wanted to own a team, targeting Vegas. wonder what changed

When asked if he was still interested in NBA ownership, LeBron James says he’s no longer interested. “Not at all.”

@yanab0015 Spoken like someone who doesnt know how the media world works or what a pecking order is.

Maybe I'm doing the most, but Shams being the first to report the specific details of the CBA don't sit right with me. Feel like a slap in the face to all of the reporters who were out there all day and night during the negotiations. They should've got the exclusive.

@tampafin @RealPhilycheese @NotreDame The odds of your kid getting into ND are remote to begin with. ND is under no obligation to do anything.

@RealPhilycheese @NotreDame But if I make 155k I get half the cost paid (45k, still paying another 45k). Meanwhile the person making 148k gets their kid a full ride. Explain to Me how that’s a just system, it’s regressive

We’re expanding Pathways to Notre Dame with new affordability measures aimed at reducing or eliminating tuition and other costs for undergraduate families making less than $200,000 annually. Learn more: go.nd.edu/54c52a

@drakshoreme @TheUBSoldiers @RossBjorkAD What is so impressive with that I don't see any suites or premium ssating.

@TheUBSoldiers BGSU HAS A BETTER ICE FACILITY THAN OSU. Our AD FRAUD BJORK @RossBjorkAD should be fucking embarrassed

Yes. The Main reason why Nationwide Arena exists is the Blue Jackets. But it also has many events over the years that aren’t Blue Jackets Games and it does good because it was built properly. Can’t say that about the Schott.

@Rocabella4 @TheDunkCentral @Callie__Fin @Fullcourtpass Laughable comment. Not worth that much

@TheDunkCentral @Callie__Fin @Fullcourtpass 1.4 being a Max Contract is insane yall could at least give her 5 mil smh

The Las Vegas Aces plan to sign A’ja Wilson to a $1.4 million supermax contract, per @Callie__Fin (h/t @Fullcourtpass )

@TheDrivingCorn @Bucksmba @Genetics56 How? Volleyball doesnt draw enough viewers to warrant $

@therealTM_1 @Bucksmba @Genetics56 Laughable comment

@TheDrivingCorn @Bucksmba @Genetics56 Football is king. The volleyball numbers have no impact

@Bucksmba @Genetics56 How many Ohio state volleyball, basketball, women’s basketball games did you watch this year? Gotta remember the conference media rights includes every sport. Husker fans will watch that 5 PM Wednesday volleyball game no questions asked.

@Jay_W_house @lady_valor_07 Then what do you tip. 20% minimum. Superior service you add more. ....u should just stay at McDonald's

@lady_valor_07 fuk no! $120 is way to much unless you are rich!

@BarryPo42973947 @CharlesButter @lady_valor_07 So, you are cheap

@CharlesButter @lady_valor_07 How about advocate for that. Id support you in that matter. But i still wont tip. The bill is $500 in the origional post, and the waitress expected $120 tip? Get bent.

@RandomELPguy @TheAthletic If that was true (and we will see) then that would mean others wont bid on expansion ownership in Vegas and Seattle

@TheAthletic Because investors are figuring the NBA team value has peaked, or will peak in the very near future. So, investing now would just end up losing money in the long-run.

JUST IN: Fenway Sports Group, LeBron James’ business partner, is not currently interested in pursuing an NBA expansion opportunity in Vegas, sources told The Athletic. A source close to James said “with Fenway no longer pursuing NBA ownership, it is less likely that LeBron will pursue a team.”

@bbbbready @AdamJardy Lets see what he does tomorrow before praising him.

@mwkimel31 @Luqmanthegudman @kwaaysee @tomsan106 The issue with US soccer isnt the lack of athletes playing. It is the lack of players with technical skills. If Messi would have grown up in the US, the soccer people here would have given up on him because he wasnt a great athlete

@therealTM_1 @Luqmanthegudman @kwaaysee @tomsan106 Folks keep arguing about only big guys. The best small and average sized athletes aren't playing soccer in the the USA, either. It's not complicated. A much larger pool of better athletes playing soccer in the USA would lead to be better international outcomes for USA soccer.

There’s a growing obsession with pouring hundreds of millions into state-of-the-art sports facilities, as if elite players are manufactured by architecture and price tags. Football investors, in particular, love to unveil these massive projects with the same promise: this investment will pay for itself by producing top-tier talent. It sounds compelling, but it fundamentally misunderstands how player development actually works. Elite players aren’t the product of pristine buildings or exclusive complexes. They emerge from repetition, freedom, and access, thousands of unstructured hours with the ball, often in small, tight spaces, long before they ever set foot in a high-performance center. By the time a player reaches one of these facilities, most of the real development has already happened. If investors truly understood this, their strategy would look very different. Instead of concentrating resources into a single, expensive hub, they would decentralize access. They’d build dozens, hundreds, of small, free, local pitches embedded in communities. Places where kids can show up anytime, play without barriers, and fall in love with the game on their own terms. Because the real lever isn’t luxury, it’s volume, accessibility, and environment. The next generation of elite players won’t come from marble-floored academies. They’ll come from the streets, the cages, and the small-sided pitches where the game is played constantly, creatively, and without permission.
