Happy heavenly birthday to Fred “The Fox” Snowden, the first African-American head basketball coach at a major college program when Arizona hired him in 1972. He paved the way for Lute Olson, Sean Miller and Tommy Lloyd by turning Arizona into more of a national program, especially from a recruiting perspective. @snowdenhoops

Happy birthday to Herb Alpert, 91 today!

Tomorrow's tornado threat runs from Oklahoma into eastern Kansas and western Missouri. Rotating storms are expected to fire along the dryline by late afternoon, and the tornado risk actually increases into the evening as low-level winds ramp up overnight. Low cloud bases make this setup particularly concerning.

I love college basketball so much. This is terrific..

The basebrawl by which all others are measured

WE HAVE OUR FIRST EVER ABS RAGE BAIT EJECTION😭

Baseball is timeless 🧡 What a heartwarming moment for the 109-year-old @Orioles fan!

In honor of "White Men Can't Jump" 34th anniversary today, here's a white man who could jump.

Do yourself a favor and listen to the last 1:30 of @KentPavelka and Jeff Smith #Nebrasketball #Huskers

I showed a Trump post to my psychologist friend and asked her to do a proper profile. This was, in retrospect, like asking a vet to look at a particularly diseased badger. She put down her coffee, read it twice, and said: “Right. Where do you want me to start?” The all-caps, she explained, isn’t emphasis. It’s dysregulation. A regulated adult uses punctuation to signal importance. Trump uses volume, because volume is what worked in the room he grew up in. Fred Trump’s household rewarded dominance and punished weakness. Donald learned early that the loudest person wins. He never updated that software. He never updates anything. The man is essentially Windows Vista with a spray tan. “NATO HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.” The word absolutely is doing a lot of work there. Psychologists call this black-and-white thinking, a cognitive pattern strongly associated with narcissistic personality structures. The world is either total loyalty or total betrayal. No middle ground. No nuance. No evidence of a functioning cerebral cortex. “MILITARILY DECIMATED.” She paused on this one. Self-glorification dressed as fact, she said. He has no military background, never served, and has a well-documented terror of illness and physical danger. Bone spurs, famously. Four of them. One per deferment. So he compensates verbally, hard and consistently, because words are his only battlefield and even there he fights like a man wearing oven mitts. “THE U.S.A. NEEDS NOTHING FROM NATO.” The people who most loudly declare their independence, she said, are almost always the most terrified of abandonment. Classic counterdependence. The kid who announces he doesn’t need friends. In the playground. Alone. Eating his lunch next to a bin. The threat with no content, “NEVER FORGET THIS VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN TIME,” she found genuinely fascinating. It has the grammatical structure of consequence without any actual consequence attached. It’s what you say when you want to punish someone but lack both the means and the attention span to follow through. And then the signature. His own name. On his own platform. As if the man might otherwise forget who he is halfway through a sentence, which, to be fair, seems increasingly plausible. She sat back and said: “This is a man who has been pretending to be formidable for so long he can no longer locate the frightened little boy underneath. But he’s still there. He’s always there. TACO is always there. Screaming in capital letters at people who stopped listening years ago.” I paid for the coffee. It was the least I could do. She’s going to need therapy after this.

Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television. Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.

With the 2026 MLB season upon us, I give you the greatest baseball ad ever created. This was a Japanese car commercial but let me tell you, find a woman at the end with a batting stance that good.

Lavonte David’s retirement speech is worth 2 mins of your time. Having Parents who show you they believe in your dreams and will stop at nothing to help you achieve them is EVERYTHING.

🎸 Wake Up to Guitar Greatness 🎸 Today’s Pick: Mark Knopfler – "Down to the Waterline" '78 Rise, Dire Straits faithful! Early Knopfler already had that unmistakable touch.

As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd. The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering. The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978. 48 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

THREE MINUTES OF BARRY SANDERS BEING THE GREATEST RUNNING BACK IN #NFL HISTORY. 🐐🐐🐐 The best highlight reel in all of sports.

El chocolate viene del cacao que sale de un árbol, eso lo hace una planta. Por tanto, el chocolate cuenta como ensalada. Fin.

The 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado might have the greatest interior design of all time.. 👀
