Hopped back in the saddle for the first time this basketball season as Quincy hosted Missouri Western. Good crowd tonight at Pepsi Arena for the men’s season opener. The marathon to March begins. 🏀

On this week’s episode of “Wanna Know If Your TV Is Properly Color Calibrated?”, just tune into any NBA Cup game. You’ll know. These court colors are bright and rich. 👀

Look gang, I'm all for the engagement bait and discussion when talking about IHSA by-law proposals. But let's see what actually makes it to a membership vote before making posts and content like, "Big Changes Could Be Coming to Illinois High School Sports."

Made a midweek pilgrimage to Des Moines for Sadie’s first night of Drake basketball. The Knapp Center has a big, yet intimate feel to it all. Excited for the evening.

Watched Canelo-Mbilli. These Middle East fights just lack the energy that a prize fight in Las Vegas, New York City or London brings. Small crowds. No celebs. No energy. Part of the spectacle of prize fighting is the coliseum. And that coliseum was a morgue. #CaneloMbilli

It’s the IHSA 6A football playoffs. Where today, the “A” stands for Arena Football. 👀 🏈
Bryson Little with a 44-yard keeper for a touchdown. Blue Devils convert as Little runs it in for two. Goode leads Quincy 54-45 with 7:26 left in the first half.

Two teams in the Illinois Prep Volleyball 1A Top 10, and five more receiving votes, all reside in the Triopia sectional for the postseason. 🏐

I’m still thinking about last night’s Sixers-Knicks game. Primetime game on NBC. Celebrity row packed. Players getting chippy. Fans chirping opposing stars and getting it right back. A gritty, physical game. This was close to 90’s NBA in New York as we’ve seen in a while.

To whomever does the NBA script writing, I'd enjoy watching a 7-game series between the Knicks and 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Signed, B. Shoe

YouTube TV has had an issue with NFL Sunday Ticket this season where late games scheduled for local broadcast were not unlocked when early window games went to OT. Today there was an alert: "Watch Your Game On Sunday Ticket" when the late window game began. Cc: @ProFootballTalk

Me: “Man, I’m so glad the Steelers won today and found a way to come back!” Also me, watching this team continue to struggle more than it succeeds: ⬇️

Your team waves A rally towel. The Steelers wave THE towel. And THE towel travels well. It’s game time. Best time. Here we go. #HereWeGo #TerribleTowel

I've been hesitant about saying it, because you never know if there's a "third Summer" on the way. But after seeing the 10-day forecast, I think we're in the clear and I'm making it official. It's Crock-Pot and Instant Pot season, gang. Get the soups fired up this weekend. ✊

....his daughter filled his ears with stories of new friends, adventures on campus and her feelings on being away from home. He filled his daughter's car with fuel, her stomach with her favorite lunch, and her wallet with a couple of bills... Honest trade for a collegiate dad.
