This makes him the perfect coach for LeBron’s Lakers. Also: A belated farewell to Bill Walton.
How I, an NIT Fan, Am Spending This Memorial Day Weekend
Three doses of pizza, one dose of remembering the troops.
Stu’s Notes: Is Burnley Better Than Bayern Munich?
Also: Caitlin Clark media coverage has somehow gotten worse, the Indy 500 is looking rainy, and Craig Counsell might be sabotaging Kyle Hendricks.
Stu’s Notes: The Most Canadian Hockey Teams
Ranking the eleven NHL candidates. Then: More on Joe Kelly’s shoulder, a potential undefeated NIT champion, and milk choices.
Stu’s Notes: Kyle Larson and the Indy 500–Coke 600 Double
The greatest driver in the world tries to prove it this weekend. Also: The NASCAR fight, Timberwolves is a great name, and Joe Kelly’s return timing.
Three Things: NASCAR Adds Its Own NIT
Plus: The Oilers might need to change their name, and Burnley got relegated again.
Stu’s Notes: Why Isn’t It Utah Yetis?
Ranking the 20 potential Utah hockey names. Then: The Panthers and Bruins might kill each other, Robert Kraft might have taken one for the team, and UCLA humiliated Cal.
Stu’s Notes: Ippei Mizuhara and the Real Housewives
Of course Bravo is involved. Then: Robert Kraft found a Black person, LSU might be out on Brian Kelly, and who can throw fireworks at whom.
Joe’s Notes: College Basketball’s Players Era Festival, the NIL MTE, Is a Terrible Business Model
Why not keep the nine million dollars? Also: Baseball players dodging the draft, hockey players being exciting, and Knicks getting hurt.
Stu’s Notes: How Many NIT Chances Does Rick Pitino Have Left?
With another NIT legend in the fold, is this the year Pitino finally wins it all? Then: Lotteries are too much fun, Joe Kelly’s on the IL, and the Timberwolves castrated the Denver Nuggets.
Stu’s Notes: The Other Other Tom Brady Story
Is Tom Brady about to vaguely cheat again? Also: Noses vs. tongues, F1 might be interesting again, and Rudy Gobert procreated.
Stu’s Notes: The NIT Is Dominating the Transfer Portal
Also: Revisiting the opt-outs, spin rate and the NBA, and Kawhi Leonard should have retired young.
Stu’s Notes: Coby White Has the Best Smile
The Bulls are still standing. Also: NBA Playoff team likability, Shane Doan’s banner, and Oregon’s ditching the woodsy court.
Stu’s Notes: Is the In-Season or Play-In Tournament More Like the NIT?
Then: Watching the NBA Playoffs on behalf of our country, Michael Busch keeps homering, and dugout dinger celebrations will soon go the way of the bench mob.
Stu’s Notes: Scottie Scheffler Should Get Better at Golf
A recommendation. Also: The Brewers have more beef, a note about Two Dog Special, and what if the Fever don’t pick Caitlin Clark?
Three Things: What Was Bryson DeChambeau Doing With That Sign?
Also: Every team wants an NIT star, and what if Shohei Ohtani wasn’t Asian?
Three Things: NIT Stu Tells Kentucky No
NIT Stu will not be Kentucky’s next head coach. Also: The NCAA T*urnament stunk, and solar eclipses rule.
Two Dog Special: John Calipari to Arkansas, South Carolina over Iowa, UConn vs. Purdue, and Seton Hall Is Our Champion
Plus a little baseball, a little airlines, and a little bit of the globe.
