Van Lith really said…
Iowa-LSU's average 12.3 million viewers are more than: • Every women's college basketball game ever • Every ESPN college basketball game ever • Every MLB game last season • Every NHL game last season • Every MLS game last season • Every NBA game last season except one •…
Iowa vs. LSU delivered on so many levels, I’m sitting here in awe of Caitlin Clark and … Paige Bueckers and JuJu Watkins are putting on a show before I can even process anything. I feel so lucky to watch this.
Gotta think keeping Hailey Van Lith on Caitlin Clark at this point violates the Geneva Conventions

Jason is a terrific editor. As a fact checker, I saw Jason make every story better through shrewd questions and a keen understanding of what stories need. He’s an even better person. He’s one of the first people to make me feel welcomed at SI.

this is so cool. Criterion's efforts to preserve and recirculate classic films are obviously the core of what they do, but i love that they're starting to rescue essential new work from the streaming abyss & give it a second chance to be something (so much) more than "content."

Brad Holmes loved this CB class
"I don't want to call myself a snob of outside corners... but I was a CB cross check for over a decade with the Rams... I could watch DB individuals all day every day. I think it's poetry in motion." Lions GM Brad Holmes
@AudacityOfHoops @thefalkon Almost entirely the former. There is a bit of tailing off the last couple weeks but plenty of people are entering and primarily drafting in August/September. You can see the people first drafting in BBM in one of the graphs here, x.com/FeilNarley/sta…. Plus the stacked chart
Dropping some other charts for fun here. Are any of these actionable, not really, but I found some interesting. Random stuff, the earlier you first enter, the higher your advance rate and drafters don't really improve over the course of maxing.
Thought the Cowboys took MarShawn Lloyd had us in the first half 😭😭
Don’t ask my guy to run a dig or a comeback just give him the Kyle Pitts MCL tree and let him work
Worth noting: The #Rams and #Colts, among others, were calling about trading up. The calls stopped when Brock Bowers went.
From our pre-Draft show on @nflnetwork: A look at what led the #Raiders to take TE Brock Bowers…
Getting deeper into NFL best ball after not doing much the last few months. I was curious how much the first few days were filled with grinders. Surprisingly, a good amount of lower-volume drafters entered immediately. Also, the proportions are relatively steady until August
The other A grades were: Patriots Drake Maye, Cardinals Marvin Harrison, Giants Malik Nabers, Jets Olu Fashanu, and Bengals Amarius Mims. underdognetwork.com/football/nfl-d…
Ryan Poles said the simulations the Bears ran gave them a "50-50 shot" that Rome Odunze would be there at No. 9. He was getting nervous as the Bears were closing in on their pick and said assistant GM Ian Cunningham had to "hold me back from not trying to trade up to do something…
#Niners HC Kyle Shanahan on Ricky Pearsall
Fascinating comparison between Olu Fashanu and Joe Alt from @SumerSports. Fashanu with an average rank of 3.6 for his position while Alt was 4.4 #jets #nfldraft
Jets didn't overthink it. That's a nice turn of events.
80+ Film Grade WRs still available: Ladd McConkey Adonai Mitchell Jermaine Burton Javon Baker 90+ Landing Spot Grades still available: Chargers Patriots Green Bay
Love this pick for the Jets. Fashanu scouting report: bleacherreport.com/articles/10089… Summary attached. Check the comp 👀
Panthers Owner David Tepper just stopped inside to have a word with the owners about the sign out front. This is not a joke #Panthers
Total value lost from the Vikings 3 trade-ups is roughly equivalent to wasting an early first round pick on the analytics pick value charts
Amarius Mims to the Bengals is an excellent selection. Can fight for the starting RT job and/or develop as a replacement. Supersized tackles are the Bengals' preferences, too. Great fit.
I'm flabbergasted. I knew teams were desperate but this is unbelievable. Gross team mismanagement abound!

Sean Payton wanted and intended to draft Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 draft, when he held the 11thoverall pick. He was ready to turn in the card. But before he could, the Chiefs traded up to the Bills’ spot at No. 10 and took Mahomes one spot before Payton got him, leaving the…
