After a lot of hard work, I'm proud to present my thesis documentary, "It's Outta Here: A History of the Home Run", featuring interviews with greats like @MarcMalusis, @AmoreCourant, @robneyer, @martyappelnyy, @jareddiamond and more. Check it out here: bit.ly/2ZfVmV1

#OpeningDay is here and I want to thank @AnthonyMcCarron for coming on my podcast this week to help preview the #MLB season for the #Mets and #Yankees. Check out the full episode here: bit.ly/4rRJu4X

@AdamWeinrib Netflix wants to throw their money around for events without being an actual sports broadcaster. They have Field of Dreams game also.

This + the Home Run Derby... that's really Netflix's entire MLB catalog? Really makes you go, "Why?"

Who will win the South Region in #MarchMadness? @TroyMauriello and I weighed in on my podcast this week. Check out our takes and listen to a full recap of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament here: bit.ly/4btCGpr

Mando and Grogu were the last thing we saw in Chapter 7 of #TheBookOfBobaFett so @MPhillips331, @Consy29 and @NickFry_9 discussed that choice on the podcast. Check out their takes and a full recap on the road to #TheMandalorianAndGrogu here: bit.ly/4uNONFn #StarWars

Is Cinderella an endangered species in #MarchMadness? @TroyMauriello and I weighed in on my podcast this week. Check our takes and listen to more of our recap of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament here: bit.ly/4btCGpr

@awfulannouncing The NBA Finals shouldn’t be exclusively ABC/ESPN

Reader Poll: Which major sporting event should switch broadcast partners? awfulannouncing.com/orig/sports-ev…

@mikemayer22 Yes but will never happen again if MLB can get a bag from Netflix for one game.

All teams playing on one day to start the season please.

@tominsalem @TroyMauriello Yes, Troy and I break everything down after each weekend of tournament play. Feel free to check it out and let us know what you think!

@MPhillips331 @TroyMauriello Well this is cool. Didn't realize we had our own knowledgeable St. John's contributor in here.

I want to thank @TroyMauriello for coming on the podcast this week to recap the first weekend of #MarchMadness. Check out the full episode here: bit.ly/4btCGpr

The #BigTen is crushing #MarchMadness so @TroyMauriello and I gave the league its props on my podcast. Check out our takes and listen to a full recap of the first weekend here: bit.ly/4btCGpr

Does Mando's reunion with Grogu in Chapter 7 of #TheBookOfBobaFett feel odd? @MPhillips331, @Consy29 and @NickFry_9 weighed in on the podcast this week. Check out their takes and a full recap on the road to #TheMandalorianAndGrogu here: bit.ly/4uNONFn

St. John's had a wild finish against Kansas on Sunday so @TroyMauriello and I broke it down on my podcast. Check out our takes and listen to our full first weekend recap of #MarchMadness here: bit.ly/4btCGpr

How does Chapter 7 of #TheBookOfBobaFett hold up on a rewatch? @MPhillips331 and @Consy29 weighed in on the podcast this week. Check out their thoughts and a full recap with @NickFry_9 on the road to #TheMandalorianAndGrogu here: bit.ly/4uNONFn #StarWars

@brauf33 A lot of this comes from NBA guys who act like snobs about the superiority of their product.

I know it can be obnoxious to post these, but I can't tell you how many times over the last two decades I've had to defend the viability of my favorite sport. National conversations always centered around why CBB was dying, and the reasons never had to do with CBB itself

WE LOVE COLLEGE BASKETBALL

New podcast is out! See what @MPhillips331, @Consy29 and @NickFry_9 had to say as they revisited Chapter 7 of #TheBookOfBobaFett on the road to #TheMandalorianAndGrogu here: bit.ly/4uNONFn

@BrandonOSports @vjgirardi3 @DanWolken I said usually because I know they’ve done it at both in the past. I know NCAA has been trying to use NBA size arenas more for this round.

@MPhillips331 @vjgirardi3 @DanWolken That is not true. It is odd that it’s at the Toyota Center. Both Elite 8s I’ve been to in Houston were at NRG.

Houston gets three Big Ten teams in the South regional in Houston. Ticket situation will be interesting.

Starting with 2016 Villanova, the only national champion to get out of the first weekend in the following season has been 2024 UConn. Really, really hard to repeat. Florida used up a whole lot of magic on last year’s run.

@vjgirardi3 @DanWolken True, although they usually only book the football stadiums for Final Fours.

@MPhillips331 @DanWolken They could move it to the football stadium and still pack the house
