That "Angel" Reese play on Caitlin Clark was so dirty. No chance to block the ball, so swung for the head. It's bullying and the WNBA has to do something about it.

Bill Walton was one of the greatest basketball players of all time – a champion at every level and the embodiment of unselfish team play. He was also a wonderful spirit full of curiosity, humor and kindness. We are poorer for his passing, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family.
KAT and Ant= Can't. The Timberwilts are 0-3 in games they could've won. Meanwhile, the Slow-venian Dagger and the Handles Messiah are double clutch. Game 4 is tomorrow in Dallas.
When did "blitz" become a defensive move in basketball? In over 50 years of watching NBA, I heard it for the first time this season. And now 30 or 40 times a game. Stop stealing from football!

Ken Burns warns about Trump during his commencement speech at Brandeis University: so powerful, so wise, so emotional, so true. It shook me to my core. Tearing up a river.
There were some sports pundits who suggested that Scottie Scheffler was allowed to play golf the day he was arrested for felony assault of a police officer only because he was white. The video shows the arresting officer Bryan Gillis was way out of line. youtube.com/watch?v=ZqiY22pF…
While we're thinking about how crazy things are these days, let's remember that Bob Dylan (HBD!) was booed in concert in 1965 for playing an electric guitar.
Because of new TV contracts, the word is that TNT's "Inside the NBA" will be dismantled. Good. It's the worst show on TV, with Barkley repeating his obvious point three times and Kenny Smith having nothing interesting to say. Keep Shaq.
Carpal tunnel of the finger should be called Rod Stewart Syndrome. Have you ever scrolled his catalogue on Spotify trying to get to the good albums?

“Here’s the man who influenced Guitar Slim, who influenced Buddy Guy, who influenced Jimi Hendrix, who influenced Stevie Vaughan” - Clifford Antone introducing Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown of Orange, TX, born 100 years ago today.

Friday's moving screen call. Black twitter blasted the ref, with the implication that the game was fixed to advance Show White. Conversely, Whole Foods twitter defended the whistle. I don’t think America’s been so divided on a topic since Frankie Beverly and Maze.
