    An incredible story about an underdog team that fought through adversity and overcame it all with a $20 million roster. It’s a real tear jerker. Herbstreit the hypocrite should stick to acting in dog videos

    Sad to say @BrianBlessing passed away today. A great guy, @BuffaloBills fan and respected voice in the sports betting business in Vegas. Crushing news this afternoon. RIP Brian

    Rams +3.5 is an all-time ATS bad beat. It’s unfuckingbelievable. Is it the worst and what else ranks in the @NFL Bottom 10?

    After 14 months of battling cancer like a true fighter, my great friend of 30 years, ⁦@davecokin⁩, the “man under the hat, passed away peacefully around 4 am PT today. He lived life his way until the very end. RIP GOAT! You’ll be sorely missed by many.

    Duke has made two — yes, only two - Final Four appearances in the past 15 years. Coach K needs to recruit more talent. #MarchMadness

    Mel is a stooge (Jimmy Clausen one of many examples). But Screamin A. is another example of ESPN promoting carnival barkers who are frauds but get morons fired up for ratings

    Will post at least one (probably more) college hoops play every day in March starting now. Follow or fade if you want, and no bitching allowed

    Good point. What’s really impressive here is his ability to avoid the blitz and thread the needle to the receiver in tight coverage

    Carolina just buried Coach K. Incredible. Never forget this Hollywood ending

    I lobbied for a major college football contest about 20 years ago and @vegasmurray is finally delivering it @SuperBookNV. Seven plays per week from every game on the board, $500 entry fee … what’s a realistic target for the SuperContest College? I’ll predict 3,000 entries

    Always a big NBA fan, but Adam Silver has a mess to clean up. Awful officiating, tanking teams, only a few teams can win the title, and the best player in the world quit on his garbage team during the fourth game of a forgettable Finals sweep. #Integrityfee

    Agree with Gonzaga coach Mark Few @espn ... "Extremely, extremely disappointed. I think all of us felt we could postpone, and even postpone into May or whatever and if we needed to cancel, we could cancel then. This is a sad day. We probably could have paused or delayed it.”
