College graduation speeches are often evergreen. They can be given at any time, similar from decade to decade.

Which is why Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker’s “How To Spot An Idiot” at Northwestern’s graduation is so genius.

It is the speech for TODAY

Seems to me that a logical tweak to the pitch clock rule should be that a hitters first “violation” should count as his timeout if he hasn’t already used it.

What a win for Northwestern Basketball! Congratulations Chris Collins, so impressed with the perseverance over the last few years.

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Sal Bando. He was the GM of the Brewers when I first came up and I admired him so much. May he Rest In Peace.

season ends but man, heck of a postseason run. Was incredible to see San Diego come alive in October. Tough for players & fans to see it end but so much to build on for team & organization, and they’ll be hungry to have this feeling again. Players always want it back.

I don’t care who you bring in, but when you’re getting dominated by a starter seeing him leave gives the whole team a lift.

So proud to be a part of the San Diego Padre organization. In a year filled with extreme highs and lows on and off the field, it’s been a shining example of hard work and perseverance. Let’s go get ‘em in the playoffs!

Biggest get during the Fitz era -- by far.

Clayton Thorson & Justin Jackson were wanted throughout B1G. Cats beat Ohio St for Ifeadi Odenigbo. 5-star Kyle Prater transferred in from USC.

But nothing like this ... twitter.com/ChicagoSports/…

Tough break for Tyson. As a fielder in that situation you want so badly to make a play to preserve the no hitter that your first instinct is to go get the ball. Feel for Franchy.
