College hoops rocks because you really never know what a random night will deliver.

Portland just upset sixth-ranked Gonzaga 87-80 to beat the Bulldogs for the first time in 12 years. Portland's biggest win EVER. 22.5-point underdogs. Upset of the year? Portland ranks 345th in experience at KenPom!

New from me on @us.theguardian.com: sources tell me a host of changes are coming to MLS Season Pass - cuts in Spanish language talent & programming, and about half of the English-language matches will be produced overseas.

Much more right here: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
MLS to cut half of Spanish-language broadcast talent on Apple TV, according to sources
The league will send about half its live games to be produced in London, as MLS 360’s Spanish edition will cease production

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

The Timberwolves-Warriors game in Minneapolis has been postponed by the NBA, sources tell ESPN, in wake of a man shot and killed Saturday in a confrontation with federal agents in the city. It's the second shooting there in a week, third this month, involving a federal officer.

To clarify something I posted here earlier:

The #USMNT game vs. Portugal in Atlanta on March 31 is close to sold out, U.S. Soccer says.

The full house will be open at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for both that game and the March 28 game vs. Belgium, which is not sold out yet.
