.@Foxworth24 opened today's episode with thoughts on the Protect College Sports Act and what it's really about ๐
"The core of it is about re-establishing the power the NCAA had in the past โ that the court system determined was illegal."

Q: President Trump called you Talafreako. He's called you weird. Paxton has called you too radical for Texas.
Talarico: A lot of people voted for President Trump because they thought he was gonna lower prices, end forever wars, release the Epstein files, drain the swamp. A year into this admin, prices are up, there's a new forever in Iran, the Epstein files have not fully been released, and the swamp is bigger than ever before.
These nicknames don't lower the price of groceries, gas, utilities or healthcare, or improve our lives. I'm not gonna engage in the silly nicknames back and forth. I'm gonna focus on the people of Texas.

Don Meyer retired as the winningest coach in menโs college basketball history.
It wasn't the X's and O's that made him legendary - it was the culture he built.
And he built it through one acronym: TEAMS.
Most coaches miss this.
Here's what it means and why it matters:๐งต

I know itโs become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if youโre under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
President Trump is floating the possibility of keeping the UFC arena on the White House South Lawn โ built for a series of fights on his birthday and Flag Day โ permanently.

We talked to nearly 100 people about youth sports in New Jersey and found a predatory industry that is leaving parents broke, exhausted and wondering how the games of their childhood took over their adult lives. Our six-month investigation: nj.com/sports/2026/05/the-shโฆ

Unlimited free agency and zero salary cap is a great plan? What professional sport operates this way?

"Happy to carry the flag for all the managers, the GAs, the grunts, cause it's possible. It's tough but it's possible."

Congratulations to @CoachDustyMay, Elliot Cadeau, and @UMichBBall on winning their first title since 1989! This team dominated the tournament from start to finish. Well deserved. Go Blue!

Cool story. Dusty May on why he wanted his son to be a manager
"I wanted him to do it because you learn to be 100% selfless. You learn that you can't have any ego if you want to make it in this business, & there's nothing that teaches humility better than being a student manager
We knew Dusty May begged for jobs here as an IU student manager at the 2000 Final Four in Indy.
What we didn't know? John Calipari gave him one. The untold story of a borrowed minivan and all-night drive to Memphis:

.@JamesTalarico: The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. Muslims are 1% of the population. Undocumented people are 1% of the population. We are focused on the wrong 1%.
Trans people aren't taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren't defunding our schools. Immigrants aren't cutting taxes for themselves and their rich friends. Itโs the billionaires and their puppet politicians.
The culture wars are a smokescreen. They want us looking left and right at our neighbors instead of looking up at them. The biggest divide in our politics is not left versus right, itโs top versus bottom.

Caller reacts to Bad Bunny's Halftime Show:
"You wouldn't ask an Italian opera singer to convert her songs into English. That's ridiculous. The most important thing he said at the end was God Bless America. It was a great performance, it was all love."

Colorado Mesa's Reed Thyne broke the RMAC career scoring record on Saturday and, in doing so, also became the first RMAC women's basketball athlete to post both 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds during their career.
She is the 48th NCAA Division II women's basketball player of the 2,000-point/1,000-rebound club!

Steve Nash on the issues with basketball development in the USA
"Its pay to play in the states. Capitalism is wonderful, not great for player development. In Europe the playing is free. Theres no hidden motives and we have to win or the kid is leaving for the next club.... Here its just been totally commercialized"

Early specialization is overrated. Generalists excel over time.
Data on >34k stars in sports, music, science, and chess: Focusing on a single field predicts a faster rise, but cross-training foreshadows a higher peak.

I asked my producers not to make any clips from the dad grief portion but enough people reached out about this part I changed my mind.
Jim Nantz on what Arnold Palmer told him about his dad is one of the most impactful things Iโve ever heard. A lot of people need to hear this.
