We’re sorry, Creator.
Joe’s Notes: Jimmy Butler Made It Interesting
Jimmy Butler briefly saved the Playoffs, the Avalanche answered the wall, and the Brewers might be ok without Brandon Woodruff. Also…more things. Lot going on.
Joe’s Notes: Grandpa or Not, Louisville Should Be Back
The Milt Wagner hiring marks a convenient moment to talk Louisville hoops.
Joe’s Notes: Don’t Rule Out the Cubs Extending Willson Contreras
The longer the Cubs don’t trade him, the likelier it becomes.
Joe’s Notes: The Cubs Rebuild Has a Long, Long Way to Go
Very few of these guys will still be around in two or three years.
Joe’s Notes: The Mets Are Doing This
Things are always trepidatious when the Mets are good.
Stu’s Notes: How, Exactly, Each Bracket Animal Vibes
Plus: Joe Kelly updates, helping Marquette with branding, Kyle Hendricks sorrow, Marquese Chriss’s impending moment, Burnley bits, and Fargo’s ears.
Joe’s Notes: The Quantification of Hockey
Plus draft bits, the transfer and portal tampering, and plenty of baseball.
Joe’s Notes: Brian Gutekunst Played It Right
Plus a wild day in the transfer portal, Trevor Bauer’s suspension, and a whole lot more.
Stu’s Notes: What Mark Emmert’s Departure Means for the NIT
Is this good or bad?
Joe’s Notes: What Mark Emmert’s Tenure Did and Does for College Sports
Why the outgoing NCAA president’s tenure was a disaster for the NCAA, but possibly the best thing that could happen to college sports (also, Cubs and ISU and transfer portal bits).
Joe’s Notes: The Transfer Portal’s Atlantic King
There’s an ACC program setting itself up for future dominance, and it’s not necessarily North Carolina. (Also: Cubs notes, college baseball notes)
Joe’s Notes: What’s the NCAA Going to Do With Bill Self and Penny Hardaway?
The sanctioning process winds on despite the incentives for wrongdoing disappearing with NIL. Plus, a weekend baseball preview, who the Cubs will cut, and why Deebo Samuel and the Packers don’t seem to make sense.
Bevo’s Fake Nuts: Please. More McConaughey.
We mean it.
Joe’s Notes: Jay Wright Does It Right
The meaning of the Villanova coach’s startling retirement, plus notes on Shaedon Sharpe’s NBA decision and Marcus Stroman’s struggles.
Stu’s Notes: R.I.P. Carrier Dome, Jake Arrieta Retires, Solving NASCAR’s Rain Problem, Etc.
“Etc.” does a lot of work. Respect to “Etc.”
Joe’s Notes: Tyrese Hunter Is Transferring
A major blow to Iowa State, we go around baseball, and other miscellany.
Joe’s Notes: Kershaw and an Imperfect Game, College Baseball Weekend Preview
Is there anything Major League Baseball can do to incentivize making history?
