RIP Dick Tebbetts, who worked the press-room door at PNC/Lenovo for many years before retiring home to NH in 2023. A much beloved and missed figure at the arena.

Shocked. Just a great dude. Unfailingly helpful and friendly (with the stones to marry into the K family). Heartbroken for Jamie and the family.

Love this. Of course he should be in. Of course a few people have kept him out. Of course people who deserve to get in should get in while the people they want to thank are still alive. Of course he’ll get in someday. Of course it takes nothing away from his career as coach and player.

In my professional opinion, the Protect College Sports Act is bad, actually, and I hope it doesn't pass. www.extrapointsmb.com/p/the-protec...

The Protect College Sports Act is a bad bill, and I hope it doesn't become law

In my professional judgement, this legislation will not do the things its advocates say it will.

The White Sox waited four hours for the rain to clear and it's as bad now as it was during the delay. The Tigers went through the top of the first on seven pitches. This feels like a reenactment of the last chapters of the Iowa Baseball Confederacy. The Black Angel will be a defensive sub in RF.

I’m biased but this is still No. 1 for me (and “Pujols squeezes out No. 2” is … No. 2).

Ohio State’s self-sabotaging goal-line stand was like a hockey team on a power play when the other team takes another penalty and refuses to turn over the puck to get the five-on-three. But worse somehow.

Howard was one of a kind. I’m saddened by his passing for many reasons, but also because I never went to see him at his bowling alley. We talked about it in every one of our countless pregame conversations. Don’t put off the things you want to do with people, because they may not be around forever.

After two years of legalized sports gambling in NC, it’s a good time to reckon with what that actually ended up being — and it’s not quite what was originally envisioned. For @theassemblync.bsky.social www.theassemblync.com/news/culture...

theassemblync.com

Sports Gambling is Going ‘Gangbusters.’ That’s Good and Bad.

Two years into legalization, the gaming industry considers North Carolina a success. But residents aren't getting what was promised.
