can I get some love for Chief Bender-a Native American who, thirty years before Jackie Robinson, endured racism from all different sides while also changing the way the game was played with a witchcraft of a pitch called a “breaking ball”?

I mostly was rooting for Jim Nantz to gloss over the actual details of Tiger’s last ten years (the drug abuse, the DUIs, the public infidelities) with phrases like “after all he’s been through” and “with everything that’s happened.”

The old Jeff Van Gundy, the classic moves never die.

I hate when students burn couches as a way to celebrate (or lament) the results of a sporting event. The only time it’s appropriate to burn a couch is whenever you feel like it, without any connection whatsoever to any outside event, done purely as a random act of wanton destruction.

I like that in every Tuberville story I learn about a different college he formerly coached at.

You don’t sound like a triggered snowflake. Nope, no sir.
