From a member of the Bluesky staff to the sports fans here:

is this the most important issue we have right now

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Michael Kelly, Navy’s new athletic director, has Annapolis roots and global ambition

🗓️ Celebrate National NIL Day July 1. Share 4-year highlights and what's to come for NIL. I created the *holiday* to shine a spotlight on the pivotal date college athletes were finally permitted to profit off the field.

Everything about these OKC celebrations look weird in these short snippets, from the heavy armed police presence immediately outside the arena following Game 7 to these fans behind some cages...

Can't have it both ways, AR. #PR

Powerful guest column in Extra Points newsletter about how the House settlement misses the mark for women in college athletics. @mattbrown.bsky.social www.extrapointsmb.com/p/guest-post...

Oh, and the obvious -- Title IX.

We dream of the Pac-12 of our childhood, er, 2024. But happy for its reinvention.

The 12-point win for Thunder is most lopsided in Game 7 of NBA Finals since the Celtics beat the Bucks 102-87 in 1974

Only four players have won MVP, the scoring title & an NBA Championship in the same season. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1971 Michael Jordan (x3) Shaquille O'Neal in 2000 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander this season

OKC having already painted the championship buses before game 7 seems like extremely bad juju if you believe in that sort of thing

[For the very, very last time this season, here are some NBA starter packs that are almost exclusively filled with active users. If you're looking for more ppl to follow to fill out your timeline with for tonight's game, here ya go: NBA Pack 1: go.bsky.app/5YP4x2U NBA Pack 2: go.bsky.app/DiLDwo6 ]

Bob Myers -- More of what you said, please.

Also just realized this will be my *fourth* Finals Game 7, following 2010 (Lakers over Celtics), 2013 (Heat over Spurs) and 2016 (Cavs over Warriors). Nothing at stake for us in the press corps, but I still get butterflies every time. Arena just feels different.

A lot of nostalgia for Bob Costas' 1994 Game 7 intro (NBC's only Finals Game 7), but don't forget about Brent Musburger's narrations for Game 7 in '84 and '88. I put together a little remix of the Costas, Musburger and even Al Michaels (2005) Game 7 opens: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4p5...

Oh my goodness happy Sunday, skyguys. Time yet again for another Q&A. Ask me any serious question you have about the NFL and I’ll answer it as best I can.

Hey, y'all. All news isn't bleak. Next Tuesday is #NationalNILDay. Why we celebrate this week in SIDEbar and on socials. Catch 'em. gsideman.beehiiv.com NationalNILDay.com

Reminder that disinformation from all sides will, historically, be rampant in a moment like this. Be careful what you repost.

I suspect these policies will be reversed at some point but I want the innocent people who have been rounded up and deported to be allowed back. Not realistic, I know. But still. I hate this so much. So many hard working people's lives ruined for no reason.

Stat of the day 🤣

To my fellow Chicago parents. Do yourselves a favor and check out Chicago public library events. We drove down to Legler branch this AM, which had a petting zoo, free food/music, master gardeners and more. There’s a TON of great (and free!) kids programming this summer across the city!!! Use it!

Just read a story about this and my thoughts for college athletes in any other sport besides Bama's "top 6?" Go somewhere else. #NIL #SportsBiz

The last time the NBA Finals went to Game 7:
