We just talked about this on …. 21 years ago today was the Allen Iverson “practice” rant. Is it the best sports clip of all time? What else is close?

May 7th is a loaded day in sports history: - MJ delivers “The Shot” in Cleveland - Reggie Miller owns Knicks with 8 Points in 9 Seconds - BARTOLO goes YARD - Mutombo’s Nuggets beat Sonics as first 8 seed to beat a 1 seed - Iverson talks about practice

It was a slow start for them, but it would not shock me to see make a run at a national seed. As hot as anyone right now and have the arms to go deep.

Big bounceback sweeps for Arkansas, Vandy and Florida. Vols REALLY starting to click and LSU gets the sweep but have to figure out their pitching outside of Skenes or it’s going to cost them.

Fascinating read from today.....

At one point, SEC scheduling was so disorganized that occasionally, a game between two conference teams didn’t count in the standings. It all makes the current debate about SEC scheduling seem quaint by comparison, @sethemerson writes. theathletic.com/4445067/2023/0

For fun, I crunched the numbers regarding national championships between SEC & Big 10 in last 20 years. I’ll just leave this here 👇👇👇

Illinois chancellor Robert J. Jones says that he believes “unequivocally” that the Big Ten is the nation’s “premier athletic conference,” and that the commissioner job is “the most important, most visible and most sought-after leadership role in all of intercollegiate athletics.”

This is when the blue check mark could really come in handy. Shades of Troy Aikman/ Steve Walsh with the Dallas Cowboys

Fired up to be hosting today on . Why I’m upset the Panthers picked Bryce Young Draft’s biggest winner was Anthony Richardson The Philadelphia Bulldogs Why Will Levis didn’t actually slide. And why I LOVE the Bama addition at QB

NEW COLUMN: The Green Room at an NFL Draft is an interesting place and a navigation assignment. @LauraRutledge pulled it off well last night — and she did while nine months pregnant. On a challenging and rewarding night for her: theathletic.com/4464470/2023/0

Here's what I would do... Announce at Spring Meetings that you're going to a 9 game conference schedule.....drop the Power 5 requirement for those schools that wanted a flexibility of a 8 game schedule. Then wait until SEC Media Days to announce each teams 3 permanent opponents

A decision on the SEC’s scheduling format enters its final month as ADs prepare to meet next week in person. Will it be 8 or 9 games? Greg Sankey says some schools have not made a decision on a format. Others are split. “Eventually, we have to vote.” bit.ly/3HmzgFE

When you debate draft picks for 3 months straight, you have to create new ways to discuss the topic If you give a Hot Will Levis take, you "cut through" & get traction. As an industry we give the spotlight a lot more to the Will Levis Top 2 takes than Will Levis solid QB takes.

The Will Levis storyline is a perfect example of the attention economy of media. The rational take was that he's a talented QB that had some flaws & likely a late 1st round/2nd round pick But rational takes don't make headlines A Will Levis as #1 or #2 pick gets you headlines

Got the NFL script handed to me. Philly drafts Stetson Bennett in the 7th round....tells him he'll never start a game for the Eagles. Jalen Hurts struggles, get benched. Stetson comes in a wins it all. Jalen gets traded, wins the Super Bowl the following year w/ 49ers.

Figured out why Georgia has been so good over the last few years. The Eagles have turned them into a NFL farm team. Brilliant partnership.

While CFB continues to morph into a Power 2 rather than a Power 5 there is one GLARING difference. Championships: Titles in the last 15 years: SEC 11 (5 Different schools) Big Ten 1

Nine of the first 11 picks are from the SEC and Big Ten

It's one thing to break the NFL draft picks before they are announced. It's another thing when you get it wrong. Don't be either of those guys tonight.

Bryce Young......Great college QB....even better leader. Panthers have a star teammate to launch their next chapter. 42nd 1st round pick that Saban has had since he got to Alabama. #NFLDraft2023

With the addition of Buchner to Alabama, this further cements my feeling that the Tide are going back to “RUN THE DANG BALL” type smash mouth football. Something they didn’t have when the needed at times last season.

Interesting. The familiarity with new Bama OC Tommy Rees makes sense. However, I’m not sure what the success rate is for QB added after spring practice (regarding championship level aspirations)
