Shot heard round women’s basketball, Flynn and Russia & rooting for Ells...
Here is what happened on Friday night in Dallas when Mississippi State ended an 111-game winning streak, and another unbeaten season, for the Huskies of Connecticut: Sports happened. It happened early, when Mississippi State put UConn in a hole, and it happened late, when they got to overtime, and even after the refs tried to bail out team.
And as great as Geno’s team is and has been, when it got to overtime, and when they were finally being pushed and the season was on the line, they panicked, and turned the ball over, and then
made as famous a shot as any woman has ever made in the history of college basketball.
A year ago UConn had beaten Miss. State by 60 in the Sweet 16.
This time it was 60-60 after regulation.
The worst thing that should have happened at the end of overtime, because UConn ended up with the ball after a flagrant 1 call against Miss. State, was the Lady Huskies went to a second overtime.
But too early in the clock.
Then Morgan William made a shot that made history. Sports history. Sports happened. Who would have thought at the start of the NBA season that the
and the Celtics would play as big a game as they’re playing this week?
So on Friday morning the President of the United States says it’s a witch hunt against his old lock-herup pal,
But you also know there’s this story out in the National Enquirer, owned by one of the President’s buddies, saying that not only is Flynn a Russian spy, but that the President… forced a play wait for it...caught the spy!
We’re getting kind of a mixed message here on Flynn. And by the way? If you’re looking for immunity, you did something that qualifies you as a bad boy. It is Masters week, and so worth mentioning again that the dumbest rule this side of the overtime rule for NFL playoffs is the one against anchored putters in golf.
And once again you ask this question:
Just against whom are the members of the sport’s ruling class defending their sport?
Twenty years after ran away from the world at the 1997 Masters, he pulls out of the ’17 Masters because he still can’t get off his own Injured Reserve list.
Every so often will make the kind of throwaway comment that makes you wonder if he thinks still has his fastball.
Wow, sure got better fast when he had a chance to knock off some of that 20-game suspension before the end of this season.
Sometimes you get the idea that the White House in shows like “Scandal” and “Designated Survivor” is more plausible than the one we have. If you’re a Yankee fan, you have to hope that somehow this is the season when starts to change his personal narrative at Yankee Stadium. Guys have done it before.
did it in 2013 with the Boston Red Sox. Maybe Ellsbury still can. But on this one, you still have to wonder what in the world
was thinking. For all the talk about Cinderella, and all the romance about Cinderella they sell at this time of year in men’s college basketball, by the time we got to Phoenix, we had three big state schools, the kind that dominate this event — along with Duke — and Gonzaga.
Incidentally, there really does need to be a moratorium for these play-by-play guys and sideline reporters on talking about “dancing” and the “Big Dance” once the dance has actually started.
White House work for NBC News is consistently excellent.
As good as impression of is, I think Spicey has to play himself in the movie.
Somebody explain to me how and why has been an upgrade on the Knicks’ bench. Why, because they play so hard? I keep wondering how
has built a program in San Antonio that has lasted this way without the triangle.
But then I wonder the same thing about the New England Patriots.
