Ramona Shelburne on what could happen if the WNBA title is won on Thursday: "That celebration may not actually be on that court. I've heard there are discussions about whether there's enough time to turn the arena over in time for the fans to celebrate on the court. It could be moved to a practice court" Unreal man smh

President Trump posted a more than 1300-word rant against Bill Maher, in which he tucks in that he is “not building a swimming pool in the White House briefing room,” but is still considering moving the press out.

A talkative Tony Petitti finally stumped for a 24 team Playoff. The case he made was understandable, but landed flat. “I don’t get why we can’t have a Minnesota-Iowa game have real impact every so often, like every year actually. Why can’t we do that?” si.com/college-football/big-…

I get that the Big 5 is tricky to keep alive. I get that schools need $$ more than ever. I also hate that absolutely nothing matters anymore - not tradition, not fan interest, not commitment to peers, not the greater good - except making money.

INBOX: Villanova is out of the Big 5. Round robin format is back for the other five schools.

Official statement from a Maryland spokesperson on behalf of UMPD and Maryland Athletics regarding a police dispatch's interaction with Testudo Times reporters: "UMPD was contacted today, October 21, 2026, about two individuals who were standing outside of Jones Hill House. Due to heightened concerns for staff and player safety around the football program in recent weeks, there has been increased security around athletics facilities. A UMPD officer approached the two individuals, learned they were with a campus media organization, recorded student IDs, and no report was taken. UMPD and Maryland Athletics respect the First Amendment rights of all journalists reporting in public spaces."

For @testudotimes, @JudeWilkenfeld and I were outside Jones-Hill House trying to get players to comment. An athletics staffer took pictures of us, and a police dispatch was called for suspicious activity; a cop and 2 cop cars pulled up, and officers ID’d us and asked us to leave.

Mike Francesa endorsed Donald Trump for President. I wish I could go back in time and tell 14-year-old me I'd write that sentence someday.

Ability of SID dept. to put positive headlines on its college’s Website is endlessly impressive. Yeah, Oles: Dillon runs for long touchdown, football bested by No. 15/17 Bethel athletics.stolaf.edu/news/20…

Gonna throw this out there because I know you all know the behind the scenes stuff. There are FOUR #NJFootball teams ineligible for the playoffs due to DQs. We know Lindenwold and Buena. Who are the others? Gotta be some coaches out there who know. Need to know who to leave out, if at all, for our projections. Otherwise, we can't give accurate projections. Anyone? If you want to stay private, DM us. -Mike @WJFCA2020 @NJICathletics @SFCFootballNJ @JSSInsider @ShoreSports_NJ @bigstatesports @MikeKinneyHS @SimeonPincus @bordenfb4ever @guy_kipp

You're not going to believe this ... Quadruple OT. #sjubb

Yankees President Randy Levine floated as a possible Trump chief of staff…

Coach John Harbaugh thinks people are "underestimating" Kayvon Thibodeaux's contributions. He said the tape is what tells the story, not just the stats. Thinks there are plenty of good and physical plays.

Pat McAfee is "a journalist at heart," says Mike Foss, who oversees McAfee's show for ESPN.

I am now convinced the Commanders somehow thought the Giants would get the ball back if they kicked a field goal. It was second-and-8. If they wanted to get closer, they had two plays to do so. Why drain unnecessary clock, including putting a man in motion?
