When your team rallies against a top-notch foe from 9 down after 3 quarters to win on a last-second and-one, sometimes ya gotta get stupid during the celebration. Thanks, guy,s for preventing a face-plant. @shermanoaksnotredame

Add another "record" to Bill Belichick 's coaching career -- nepotism violations. Two sons on the staff? What's next? The child bride added to the payroll? @billbelichick Carolina Football

Things we never thought we'd see: a coach feeling dissed because her team is (wait for it) the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAAs. Really, Dawn Staley? What's next? "How dare Las Vegas makes us only 42.5-point favorites in our first game. The nerve." dawnstaley Gamecock Athletics

His tale was first told in thousands of words typed by these fingers as we -- including master photog William A. Bridges Jr. -- essentially embedded with the family for his senior year at the tiniest of high schools. Twenty-two years later, Hall of Fame. Props, Dwight Howard

What TV doesn't air after showing fans of an NFL team cheering and high-fiving each other in reaction to a draft pick is them asking each other, "Anybody heard of this guy?" NFL Draft

Surprised to not see conspiracy theories on how ESPN manipulated the draft (re: Shedeur Sanders) to expand the TV audience on Day 3 beyond friends and families. NFL Draft Shedeur Sanders

The worst part of officials' reviews on possible flagrant fouls in an NBA game is Reggie Miller speculating what's gonna be called. He is invariably wrong. Worse, he talks incessantly. Whoever is directing should tell Miller to shut up and wait for the call. @nba Reggie Miller

Thought we were watching an NBA playoff game last night. Turns out, the network slipped in a movie. The plot was a team that displayed such horrible end-game strategy it could never have happened in real life. OKC THUNDER @markdaignault

Watching NBA on TV in '25: Timeout with 2 seconds left in 3rd quarter. Ads. Quarter break. Ads. Timeout (for review) 13 seconds into 4th quarter. Ads. Total: 15 seconds of play, nearly 10 minutes of ads. Flip to PGA, where ads are shown on split-screen with action. NBA on ESPN NBA

ESPN's Richard Jefferson: "These teams are literally playing for their playoff lives." All-time dumb remark? Let us count the ways (1) It's game 3 in best of 7, not 5 (2) OKC leads 2-0. Lotsa lives left (3) 'Literally?' Does the loser face a firing squad? NBA on ESPN @nbaplayoffs

Nearly 2 months into the playoffs, about time Mike Breen & Doris Burke learn the OKC big's surname is pronounced Har-ten-stein, not Har-ten-shtein. (Burke often goes first-name only as if calling a kids' game. Maybe should just call him Isaiah.) Doris Burke Mike Breen NbaonESPN
