Saw 4 @MarchMadnessMBB games in person yesterday. Clearly evident the @evo_nxt basketball from @WilsonBasktball is too light, too new, overinflated. Guys had trouble handling, ball was slick , bounced too high. Hard to control. Shots around the rim bounced off like a beach ball

Was never huge on watching college marching bands but can I get 30 seconds to a minute? At least the school fight song. #FightOn

How is Steph Curry not the MVP of the #paris2024 Olympic Men’s Basketball Tournament? LeBron played well but Steph was other worldly and saved the USA twice in the medal round.

Casual soccer fan... don't like that shooters are allowed to stutter/skip step when taking penalty shots... unfair to the keeper #UEFAEURO2024

My #NFL experts. Would it be within the rules for Patrick Mahomes to call "Upgrade, Upgrade" at the line of scrimmage in the Super Bowl as in his T-Mobile commercial?

@askspectrum @nba I live in Clearwater Florida. Last night on #nbaleaguepass Knicks vs Twolves, Clippers vs Spurs and Heat vs Bulls we’re blacked out. Any idea why?

Whenever your teacher rolled this sweet bastard into the classroom you knew the "No learning this afternoon!" celebration was fucking on.

The Art of Beginning Don't shy from the sting of embarrassment, When first you step into the ring. No master's grace was built in a day, It took many fails to learn how to swing. Let the novice be marked by his stumbling, By fists dropped and feet out of place. Keep eyes on the horizon before you, Though red burns today on your face. For this is the price to be paid in advance, If ever great skill you hope to obtain. Stay far from the siren song of complacency, Embrace the discomfort that comes before gain. Years from now you will yearn for these days, When you fumbled and wobbled and tried. For the victories taste so much sweeter, When paid for in early tears and pride. So do not from the work shy away, Avoiding the novice's pitfalls. Keep dancing, keep swinging, keep starting anew, One day you will heed the bell's calls.
