"I dread the day I'd have to take this jersey off for the last time. I guess that's tonight. But I guess I just wasn't mentally ready for it.". #Gators great Jac Caglianone just after his final game in a Florida uniform. No doubt one of the greatest the college game has ever seen

Jonathan Isaac became the first #NBA player inside the bubble to stand during the national anthem. He also chose not to wear a #BlackLivesMatter shirt. After the game the first question he fielded was "Do you believe Black Lives Matter?". He responded: "Absolutely.". Full answer:

I asked #FSU HC Mike Norvell the only question I felt mattered after tonight's ACC Championship. Rresume is perfect. But what do you say if the #CFBPlayoff committee says the team you fielded tonight isn't the same team that won all those other games?. He wasn't exactly pleased.

Steve is gone. Three weeks shy of his sixth birthday. Words can’t express how I feel about this dog. He taught me life was still worth living. He pulled me out of the darkest days of my life. He wasn’t just a dog. He was more than just family. He was the best.

A day after posting this, @RGIII has been fired by ESPN per The Athletic . Connected? No idea. I have no clue what he’s like to work with, but the guy is incredible on TV. The sheer enthusiasm and joy he brought to the broadcasts made me excited every time he was on the screen.
Anyone who is throwing shade at or trying to take cheap shots at Florida State for being left out of the College Football Playoff last year must be out of touch with reality. FSU wasn’t a team that was kept out because they lost a game down the stretch. They are a team that were

Respect the heck out of Dabo Swinney making this decision before the Syracuse game. Easily could’ve ridden it out one more week so Kelly Bryant didn’t have any options but to stay and play whenever #Clemson needed him . Would’ve been easy. Don’t tell me Dabo doesn’t care about KB
