No - parody account. Content still kinda true - although logic is very circular.

Augusta is the only place in the world where you can give sports fans the most basic concession menu possible and people lap it up. Marketing geniuses.

But the secondary market price for tickets is around 3 grand - even for practice days!

So they'll need to eat like horses.

I would like a stress free UConn win.

emarktaylor OP ,
@emarktaylor@thecanadian.social avatar

@Tim_Eagon @cbb @marchmadness

Absolutely.

It was pretty much a toss up until UConn had their surge towards the end and the threes stopped dropping for Bama.

Looking forward to both Finals.

Sounds interesting. I wonder if that exists anywhere on the internet.

Tennis-wise, I will be watching to see if this young lady can win for the 13th consecutive outing in about 20 minutes.

Worth reading all of this — Rodgers appears completely untethered from any sort of reality and he’s spewing a lot of remarkably stupid and racist lies

Here’s all the dumb shit Aaron Rodgers recently said on a conspiracy theory podcast

The Washington Commanders reportedly doing some extensive homework on Jayden Daniels.

New ownership, new head coach.

It might not be as bad as it was.

A basketball coach buyout of $15.5 million for Ohio State, which is about the amount that the school's football coach, Ryan Day, publicly said last year it needed in "NIL" to fund a team.

University Sport like this does not exist in the UK - except perhaps for the Oxford vs Cambridge Rugby and Rowing matches.

The Grizzlies have 13 — yes, thirteen — players ruled out due to injury vs. Celtics today. Memphis will play with Luke Kennard, David Roddy, three players on two-way deals and three players on 10-day hardship deals.

NCAA rules have prohibited booster involvement in recruiting since the beginning of time.

Tennessee's defense is basically: Yeah, but you didn't specify that it applied to NIL (until later).

Seems some folks who follow college are just now coming to the realization that most players don’t love their school in the unconditional way fans do.

Been this way for years.

emarktaylor OP ,

@philip_cardella @cfb

When folks argue that players are in College for their degrees, and a scholarship is enough, I think of the Basketball players and that argument just doesn't make any sense.

All the decent Football players enter the draft at the earliest possible opportunity - and will change schools at the drop of a hat if offered a better 'deal'.

Most of the starters are not there for the classes.

I listen to Gill Alexander and his chums on VSiN because they are interested in understanding the sports they are watching.

They don't care about narratives and historical trends and all that nonsense.

I haven't listened to Sports Radio in probably 20 years.
