I'm too lazy to make a new profile so here's my old one: Hot cocoa zealot. Occasional funny man. I've been told I make a mean calzone. Might be a sports fan, but the jury is still out.

Absent student-athletes were deemed well-represented by advocates.

β€œThey’re very well-represented,” Trump said. β€œYou know why? Because people like Nick Saban and Urban Meyer, all of the people that I know in the room β€” and the people probably I don’t know β€” they all care very much about the student-athlete more so than they care about themselves, so I think they’re really here. In that sense, they’re represented very well here.”

Trump on no athletes at college sport event:

"People like Nick Saban + Urban Meyer, all the people I know in the room β€” and the people probably I don’t know β€” they all care very much about the student-athlete more so than they care about themselves, so I think they’re really here."

I am crying.

South Korea defeats Australia 7-2 and advances to the 2026 World Baseball Classic quarterfinals as Pool C runner-up via a three-way tiebreaker (KOR, AUS & TPE).

South Korea will face the winner of Dominican Republic-Venezuela (presumptuous, but likely) Friday at 6:30pm ET on FS1

It would be a little more understandable than some of the choices the NBA & networks have made this season, but I will absolutely make light of the Pistons, the current No. 1 team in the East, being flexed off national tv again if it does happen.

Michigan should be absolutely embarrassed that they let this utter dogshit Iowa team clamp them down- twice.

Japan is the first World Baseball Classic team to punch a ticket to the knockout rounds after clinching top spot in Pool C. Their first elimination game will be next Saturday night in Miami vs. the Pool D runner-up at 9pm ET on FOX following the Big East men's basketball championship game.

Right, but what Reinsdorf fails to realize is how much of a net benefit having one of your guys calling games nationally. It elevates the profile of the team in the process and that's why he's with the Tigers now and not the White Sox.

The trailer that dropped at the TGA's looked extremely good (and Yakuza coded for sure) and lots of people were excited, especially in the face of SEGA/RGG's recent choices with the LAD/Yakuza franchise. The prospect of Nagoshi's studio going under is so unfortunate.

Oh yeah, South Korea-Japan is definitely going to be THE GAME of pool play. We're on the seesaw, folks.

How many times have you seen a high schooler go into a 3-time MVP's kitchen and make them hit into a double play? Well, at least once.

Not to say DCFC & Scripps couldn't work something out, but I doubt it. I will say FDSN would've been a weird fit for them just because of the bandwidth of the other teams and they would've been guaranteed some tape delayed matches which isn't terribly great.

That information tracks as I've heard very little in the local tv scene on them. 50, their last TV home, is off the table due to their CW affiliation and the only decent option would've been 20, another old home of theirs, and it's been quiet at Broadcast House.

The good scoop here is that it was looking like DCFC was heading to FanDuel Sports Detroit as their new local TV home before all *that* went down. As it stands now, Detroit City will not have linear local broadcasts in 2026.

UPDATE: The USL Players Association posted its full statement on Instagram regarding the league's email to players.

"If anything, this kind of pressure campaign only reinforces why players voted to provide strike authorization in the first place."

In the immediate, truTV will carry Caitlin Clark's first competitive basketball game in eight months on Mar. 11 as she returns from injury that cost her the majority of her 2025 WNBA season. It will also be Clark's senior national team debut for Team USA.

Here is a list of everybody Miami (OH) TRIED to schedule in men's basketball this season Don't blame the Redhawks for not having enough big names on their schedule. They tried to add plenty of them...and I've got the proof.

Today’s @mattbrown.bsky.social newsletter might be the clearest, most useful demonstration of the power dynamics in college basketball (and college sports in general) that I’ve ever seen.

Schools in power conferences exclude everybody else, and then blame them for their own exclusion

JASON BENETTI JOINS NBC SPORTS AS PLAY-BY-PLAY VOICE OF SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL ON NBC AND PEACOCK Benetti, a Top MLB Play-by-Play Announcer for 15 Years, Debuts Thursday, March 26 as World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers Host Arizona Diamondbacks at 8 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock – in MLB’s Only Primet...

NBC officially hires Jason Benetti as the lead voice of Sunday Night Baseball www.nbcsports.com/pressbox/pre...

I fully expect Benetti to have the Notre Dame job soon, if not immediately upon his hire at NBC. If not immediate, Peacock/NBCSN has the package of exclusive Big Ten football games to cut his teeth on in the meantime.

Sources: NBC Tabs Jason Benetti as Top MLB Announcer Jason Benetti will make his debut during NBC’s return to MLB coverage when the Dodgers face the Diamondbacks on March 26.

The formalities have been met (Benetti's final game for FOX was Friday night in Champaign) and NBC should be sending out a release soon. Obviously he'll be the lead voice of baseball for NBC, but he'll likely get reps doing college football, hoops and the NBA. frontofficesports.com/jason-benett...

Eh, this is bullshit. You can’t come with this after you sold it as a substantive talk about NIL, called any critics β€œbots”, and explicitly praised Susie Wiles and Karoline Leavitt for how lovely they were to work with in setting up.

Yes, the inaugural NCAA women's wrestling championships will air on TAPE DELAY ON ESPNU because the NCAA did such a bang up on job with their media deal that has a decade left on it.
