This conversation with Cal Ripken, Jr. on SportsBusinessRadio is so good that we may drop it late Monday instead of waiting until Tuesday. Wide-ranging conversation with the first ballot Hall of Famer & all-time Ironman. #MLB

This is one of the “future ramifications” I spoke of in my earlier post. #NBA

BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers dismissed coach Darvin Ham, sources tell ESPN. In two seasons, Ham was 90-74 with a Western Conference Finals berth, two Play-In victories and an In-Season title. Lakers lost in five games to Denver in opening-round.

.Malinda Adams nor any reporter should ever experience this. Completely disrespectful & unprofessional. Glad apologies have been issued. Milwaukee Bucks are a class organization. Pat Bev will likely feel the ramifications of this action on various fronts for the foreseeable future. #NBA
