They added 0.6 seconds to the clock due to shenanigans, so it’s no longer technically a buzzer beater.

But spiritually it was. I watched it beat a buzzer.

Omg ANOTHER deep buzzer beater in the Patriot League men’s tourney.

4 seed BU upsets 1 seed Navy

It’ll be BU at Lehigh in the title game Wednesday.

Unreal

Another win for Lehigh, I know you’re all on the bandwagon now. Patriot League title game Wednesday, three more wins from the Sweet 16.

My toxic trait is I’m going to keep picking the Lamar Jackson era Ravens to win the Super Bowl until they finally do it.

Incredibly, I still have this memorized from my Latin classes 20 years ago but I don’t remember what all the lines are:

US
I
O
UM
O

I
ORUM
IS
OS
IS

The brain is a strange thing.

The plural is actually Miamii

Was watching this live and I yelled very loudly. Good job Lehigh, let’s beat Duke again.

Hi. I wrote a book, β€œThe Game,” about my 40 years covering football and the explosive growth of the game. Re-reported one story per year and learned a lot about stuff I thought I knew. I’ll be recording the audiobook. Prediction: You might get sick of me. Preorder here: wwnorton.com/books/the-game

Today is Day -2 of the Paralympics πŸ₯‡

I won’t have daily viewing guides, but wanted to let people know the action starts with mixed doubles wheelchair curling at 1:05 p.m. ET, including USA-Latvia.

All events will be live on Peacock, many also on TV. They run through March 15.

I’ve moved on to equestrian, which I accidentally discovered is on TV right now. There’s an American riding a horse named Tornado 🐴πŸŒͺ️

Pet of the Month was one of my favorite recurring bits. That one was unfortunately canceled by building management, not my choice.

I believe they have a strong track record of being unbiased, but I do enjoy that the timing makes it look like I would rather quit entirely than admit the Mets might be better then the Phillies

Personal news: After 162 consecutive months, dating back to September 2012, I am discontinuing the PHLNYPR.

No longer sparks joy. Has been true for a while. I feel unburdened.

Someone pointed out to me that the compressed schedule may make it easier for MLB to allow its players to participate

Huge Olympics stakes for the WBC over the next 3 weeks.

It’s also crazy the Olympic baseball tourney will only have 6 teams, with half of them winning medals, when other team sports have much larger fields.

That is the same as 2021, though baseball had 8 teams from 1984-2008.
