I was driving down the street just now and noticed a kid walking down the sidewalk, completely glued to his phone. Except when I passed him, I realized it wasn’t actually a kid. It was just @TigercoachJoeyD.

Let “Gassed him out from bottom” never die.
No. 1 Thomas Gilman fell behind 8-0 to No. 6 Ethan Lizak on the road, the Minnesota crowd already tasting it. Then Gilman flipped the pace, broke him, and got the fall. One of the best come-from-behind wins in NCAA history.

Ben Askren shares what he hopes people can take away from his unbelievable journey back: "At the end of the day, if you're going to live any kind of meaningful life, you're going to go through hard things. A lot of how successful you are in life comes down to how you deal with those obstacles. Whether you believe in God or not, struggle makes you better. Trials and tribulations build you up. Hopefully, people can take something from that. Instead of whining or crying when something difficult comes your way, ask yourself, 'How do I deal with this, and how do I allow it to make me a better person?'"

This weekend’s wrestling at RAF was great, but the most impressive thing I saw all weekend was @ShaneSparksBTN rattling off the 1986 Chicago Cubs starting lineup… in batting order.

I am only going to say this once, and if anyone ever confronts me about it I will vehemently deny it because it goes against my entire brand… But…. Real American Beer is actually a very good light beer. That is all.

That was the most inspiring thing I’ve ever seen in my 33 years 3 months and 15 days of existence. Thank you, Ben.

Those of you who have never seen Khabib fights, witness Greatness. Gaethje made complete fighters like Ilia and Paddy look like amateurs. But look at what Khabib did to him. There's a reason why all fighters call Khabib one of the GOATs. Unmatched. @TeamKhabib

Hot Take: This is good for wrestling 🤷‍♀️ This shouldn’t even be a hot take, though. This is getting people to talk. This is getting people to watch RAF again. Y’all want mainstream exposure and viewership? These kinds of spectacles will help. Adapt, or stay stuck.
MADNESS Khamzat Chimaev marching to Dillon Danis with the referee on his back like a weighted vest 🤯😅😬. Dillon Danis going out sad 🥀 even in RAF too guy just taking Ls everywhere 😭.

Freedom of speech is the only issue ppl defend “legality” rather than “morality.” If someone cheats on their spouse, no one says “but it’s my right”. No one argues the legality. But when it’s blatant racism, the conversation shifts from morality to “but it’s legal” very fast.
if you disrespect enough people, regardless of their race, someone is going to strike you. most of us learned that in elementary school. the internet has delayed, not ended, this lesson.

We’re two games into the WNBA season and somehow the officiating is already even worse than last year. The refs are just maliciously complying with the new foul interpretation after being told they suck for so many years, and it’s making games nearly unwatchable.
