Think you can beat my March Madness bracket? Here's your chance. Deadline: noon today. usatoday.com/sports/contest… nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

@K_Peck79 @DispatchAlerts Thanks, Kevin

@rollerCD @DispatchAlerts Well written Rob

What I'm being told from the NFL combine (that I already knew): Ohio State has exceptional athletes.

Bruce Allnighty.

@BaileyAJohnson_ @washingtonpost Sucks all around. But you will land on your feet. Stay strong.

I was among the layoffs at @washingtonpost today. It has been an absolute dream to be a small part of this incredible team. Covering the Caps has been an honor; being a beat writer is an all-consuming thing that I love deeply. I hope I’ll get to continue that in whatever is next

The College Football Playoff announced the dates for the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds for the next two seasons:

@ChimChek @Jacobtheclipper preach

@Jacobtheclipper Bron played against these dudes. Bron is 20+ years in. If Bron say 2004 was different than 2024, then it is lol. Shout out to both legends but they're both sitting down talking about it while the other is doing it.

𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐆’𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝟖𝟐 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐭: Summary: 1. Today’s players are out of shape: We practiced 5 on 5 and did drills every day- building more endurance. 2. They do more individual training at slower speeds for 30 minutes, then try to play a full-speed 2 hour game. Our training was at game speed and much longer- building resistance and endurance. 3. In the summer, we played 5 on 5 basketball for 7 hours a day. They do individual work every day for just 30 minutes.. 4. KG says he would train and absolutely kill his body so that when the games started, they felt easy and his legs wouldn’t give out in the middle. Guys don’t train like that anymore. 5. Pierce says it was much tougher to play back then because you couldn’t just switch, you got hit a lot more, and the game was way more physical. He even argues you ran more since you had to tag your defender and fight through screens. Now you just switch. 6. Pierce says guys don’t play more than 75 games today because they’re not as tough as they were in his era. 7. Danny Green says they run more miles today and deal with more tendon issues. PP responds that it’s because they don’t have endurance- they don’t practice at game speed every day. Danny Green agrees. Masterful response from KG and Pierce. This is why they SONNED Bron and made him call Wade to join him. Different mentality. They didn’t make excuses they trained HARDER 👊 Miss me with them weak excuses Bron Bron ✌️

I spent some time with @OhioStateWHKY head coach Nadine Muzerall and her players bound for the 2025 Winter Olympics. 12 players that currently or formerly play for Muzerall are Milan Cortina bound. Read about their training and more about the program: dispatch.com/story/sports/o…

Curious, do you consider this OSU football season a success? Why? Why not?

@ChimChek If only he also could tackle 😏

29 for Miami is locking these IU WRs up. Just complete clamps.

Tough day for former Buckeyes C.J. Stroud and Cade Stover. #TexansvsPatriots

Pass interference has become like holding. Could call it every play. So it gets called less often than it should because officials can't/won't call it every time.

I was critical of Tom Brady's broadcast chops when he first began, but the dude has improved so much. Really good. Great insight on how to play the game.

@billrabinowitz gracias, Rabbi

Congrats, Robo! Well-deserved honor for someone who's been a great writer for a long time.

@JerodNBC4 Thanks, Jerod

Congrats @rollerCD !!

Deep thoughts from former Crew guru Wilfried Nancy: "The pitch is not always greener on other side of the pond." Oof.

Congrats to Kevin Stefanski, who finally got paroled.
