What is the most shocking part of this Masters so far?
English
@erharder @awfulannouncing Chris McKendry actually knows tennis? 😆😂🤣
English
@awfulannouncing They ruined the Australian Open this year too. Had flashy anchors instead of Chris McKendry and others who actually know tennis.

Trey Wingo doubled down on the criticism of ESPN's Masters coverage, specifically at the Wednesday Par 3 contest.

@KevinOConnor @YahooSports Just take all the ping-pong balls away from the bottom four teams. Slot them into positions 5-8 by record (worst team picks #5). All other non-playoff teams go into an odds-based lottery for positions 1-4, and the unlucky ones are slotted into positions 9-14 by record.

Inside the NBA’s GM meeting this week: How concept #1 could be reshaped, why 22 teams vs. 18 is a debate, and the one idea that got Adam Silver’s attention. New column on @YahooSports on what lottery reform could actually look like: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/nb…

@USTennisCenter Monaco native winning in Monte Carlo would be one of the all-time greatest tennis stories.
English
Alcaraz, Sinner, Zverev and…. Vacherot. Crazy part is that it almost doesn’t feel surprising anymore lol

@NBCSports 3 great days before schedules changed:
- 5 most prestigious CFB bowls on New Year's Day, often with more than one impacting the national championship
- Women's final between the men's semis on the final Saturday of the U.S. Open (tennis)
- Both women's and men's CBB final fours

Chatted with Rafa Nadal by the Augusta National clubhouse. In prior rounds here, he said he shot even par from the member tees and 80 from the tournament tees. Laughed as he recounted driver-5 wood on the 5th & driver-2 iron on 11. I guess he has natural athleticism! 😳

@HelmetAddict Pretty much every team had a better helmet than one with nothing more than the team name in basic block letters and underlined.

Today's Helmet Battle: The Battle of NY/NJ 80s style. Who had the better helmet in the 80s, the Giants or the Jets?

In 1981, my mom, Julia Salnikova, won a junior title in Monte-Carlo.
The first year I won, in 2021, I remember thinking it would be really cool to be in this together, like mother like son, 40 years apart.
To this day, it is still one of the proudest achievements of my life. ❤️
English
@HelmetAddict The edge goes to Air Coryell. That three-color bolt is just perfect, and I'm generally not a big fan of white helmets or player numbers on helmets.
English
Today's Helmet Battle is a Intersquad Battle. Which Chargers helmet is better the 1974-1987 helmet or the current primary helmet?
English
@richarddeitsch @ROSGO21 Hilarious that so many of these breathless reports still fail to acknowledge how much the viewership numbers automatically increase whenever any game is shown on ABC instead of ESPN. The championship game moved to ABC in 2023, so any comparison to previous years is irrelevant.
English
Attn: Women's Basketball fans.
UCLA-South Carolina averaged a massive 9.9M viewers.
Beat last year's 8.6 million viewers across ABC and ESPN for UConn-South Carolina.
Think about this: The national title game averaged 4.68M just four years ago.

@PaulPabst And when they are allowed to have three basketballs in play.
English
@Patrick_Reusse How many fans must be lined up for them to be "filing?"
English
Twins 7, Tigers 3.
Four scoreless from Twins’ still ironclad bullpen of Banda, Orze, Funderburk & Laweryson sends crowd filing out happy.
English
@WHENESOTA Pili was definitely a wasted pick, but Reese is definitely more trouble than she is worth. That was a weird draft year for the Lynx, sitting at #7 without any great options available beyond #6.
English
@erecasner @umichbball Loved Glen Rice, but no way he was a better all-around player than a healthy Lendeborg. Rice was one of the best college shooters of all time, but Lendeborg's overall skill set at his size is incredible.
English
Where and when did Michigan @umichbball win their last National Championship?
And was the best player on that Michigan team better than the current one?
I say YEA!
No Google or AI search for the answer…
English
@Parkerfox24 Crazy how much of Connecticut's halfcourt offense can be neutralized if the opponents are athletic and versatile enough to switch almost all the perimeter actions.
English
Next level stuff… Michigan is so intentional with their defensive scout that they are switching the initial ball screen in UConn’s set plays. They know that eventually the stagger screen, which they are all so switching and topping, will come back and they will just switch back to like on like…
English
@AshNicoleMoss They had a lot of impact because it was a fresh image that could be sold.
But the fact remains that none of them won anything, ever. Good players and dudes, yes. But not champions, even as pros.
It was part of an era in our history when style truly began to overwhelm substance.
English
people severely underestimate the impact The Fab Five had on an entire generation of hoopers. winning doesn’t always equal cultural impact — that team was (and is) a reflection of so many young hoopers from inner cities and that’s why they remain relevant to this day
English
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don’t waste time trying to hire someone you can’t get.

Billy Donovan wanted to wait until end of season to make a decision on North Carolina and one source close to Donovan felt as though he might have taken it. But source said that new North Carolina AD Steve Newmark panicked after Tommy Lloyd and Dusty May spurned the Tar Heels.
English
@TonyLiebert Agara should be the only one of these three who interests the Gophers.
English
There's a chance that Liv McGill, Nunu Agara and Audi Crooks are all out of Minnesota's price range in the transfer portal.
Gophers WBB already looks like a top 25 team in 26-27, but they have an opportunity to make a big portal splash.

@tiddyboyhoe @dandakich @espn 1) Asks awkwardly worded questions that bring no insight when coaches/players reply to her actual words
2) Inserts herself into broadcasts during live game action without offering anything insightful or interesting
3) Primarily concerned with being every coach/player's buddy
English
@Prefenroe @dandakich @espn I don't have an opinion, but what makes her not a "good sideline reporter" from your perspective?
English
It’s never the players or a female coaches fault
That’s how these women keep their jobs…. Uninformed bullshit = Survival

ESPN reporter Holly Rowe has called out Tennessee AD Danny White over the handling of the Lady Vols program: “What Danny White is allowing to happen to the Lady Vols is making me so sad,” Rowe posted. “Gut wrenching to watch him let one of the greatest programs in women’s sports history disintegrate. I am devastated.” Rowe’s social media post came just an hour after #LadyVols freshman guard Jaida Civil announced her intentions to enter the transfer portal. Coach Kim Caldwell will have zero players returning from the 2025-26 roster, and will look to replace 13 total players this offseason.
