I'm so TIRED of this. ESPN is 24/7/365 programming. There's 1000+ channels on TV. There's space for both. I don't watch women's sports to see them play like men. I watch because they're incredible athletes in their own right. Why are men so mad about women's sports?

ESPN SportsCenter just led tonight's episode with 2 stories on women's college basketball. The first 6 minutes, a regular season Big Ten and SEC game. Who is paying for this? What percentage of sports fans does this serve?

Seeing a lot of headlines for Olympic athletes who don’t medal as “fails to…” Okay I get it. Word counts matter. But word choice matters too. Not a single one of these athletes is a failure and I will die on that hill.

Love this from Geno after the South Carolina loss today. Been feeling all season like finally, this UConn team isn't afraid to be behind. The program hadn't lost in so long its like they'd forgotten how to battle back. Now, every day is a battle and that feels good for March.

UHart MBB coach John Gallagher took his team to the NCAA tournament in 2021. Then he got job offers. He declined them all. Even when DIII rumors started to swirl. Why? Bc he says a board member told him it wasn't going to happen. One month later it did.

Small big thing today: seeing Mamadou Diarra walk into the room. Stuck through the losing years, injury cut career short, started coaching, still ended up where he’d hoped he’d be as a player. Athletes have many lives, they don’t always go as planned but persistence pays off.
