Very sad news. Dan was one of those early Twitter follows who I never met in person, but always made me feel like I found my exact niche online.

How Joel Embiid and the 76ers are blending at the right time Here is one play that illustrates why Philadelphia could be a problem in the postseason — if it can stay healthy.

🚨NEW WORDS ALERT🚨

Over his last 11 games, Joel Embiid is:

-scoring at an insane clip
-jumping more often
-protecting the rim like Rudy & Jaren

More importantly, he’s blending in w the Maxey/VJ backcourt.

Don’t have to be *scared*, but be aware!

2026 NFL offseason preview: Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl window hinges on fixing a broken offense Here's a look at the offseason work ahead for the Philadelphia Eagles.

"In 2024, they were 24th in points per drive on their opening possession, but improved to fifth over the rest of the game. The 2025 Eagles were sixth in points per drive on their opening possession, but dropped to 25th on all following drives." sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/...

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

The Sixers are reliably terrible immediately after earning national media praise.

Love Nurse calling a guard on guard screen after VJ hit three straight three-pointers off doubles in the 4th quarter.

Any time Eagles fans are impugned as a group, the individual casting aspersions should recognize that they are actually insulting international icon and hero, Malala Yousafzai.

Death, taxes, and the Cowboys giving up 40+ points in a must win game.

Apple TV crashing under the weight of the Pluribus demand?

Bill Belichick's failings at UNC underline one thing: He thinks he's bigger than the job Bill Belichick has failed on almost every account at UNC and they have reached the midway point of the season as one of the biggest laughingstocks in the sport. How long will the school put up with hi...

Bill Belichick is failing at North Carolina because he thinks he’s bigger than the job. He’s wrong. My column for @yahoosports.bsky.social sports.yahoo.com/college-foot...

Soto-like defense from Hernandez in right field. Just no effort.

actually it's ESPECIALLY dishonest to line up in tush push and not push tush

Cowboys-Eagles megapreview: Jalen Hurts' task, George Pickens' role, bets I like, prediction and more The last time Hurts faced a Matt Eberflus defense, he had an up and down day. The Cowboys, meanwhile, might find stopping the run still wildly difficult, even with Kenny Clark in the fold.

I previewed Cowboys-Eagles. The football game that is being played *tonight*.

We made it everyone.

'Sometimes you have to proactively do things that maybe are outside the box': Coming off Super Bowl title, Howie Roseman isn't resting As Eagles keep wheeling and dealing in pursuit of a second straight Super Bowl title, NFL sees Roseman "always trying to gain an edge."

From depth players to stars, Eagles pivot by design. Why?

“If you’re following some other trend, you’re on the back end of it &..not getting the benefit,” Howie Roseman told me. “Sometimes you have to proactively do things that maybe are outside the box.”

This is a time bomb that will go off in the fall, when the last federal grants run out.

I saved this one all day and it did not disappoint. There’s nothing I want more as a sports fan than for Joel Embiid to be healthy and happy.

Kyle Schwarber for MVP.

Trump takes part in Club World Cup ceremony, stays front and center for Chelsea's trophy lift Trump, in a departure from previous soccer tournaments, remained on stage during Chelsea's celebration.

Reece James on Trump's involvement in Club World Cup trophy ceremony:

"Before, they told me he was going to present the trophy, and then exit the stage. I thought that he was gonna exit the stage. But I think he wanted to stay."

Baffled by their lack of player specific merchandise for Maxey. There’s not so much as a tshirt available yet.

2025 NBA Draft: Live reaction and analysis to every pick and trade YouTube video by Yahoo! Sports

extremely good NBA Draft show imo!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=58JG...

Analytics departments across the NBA are littered with former Wall Street financial analysts, strategic consultants to Fortune 500 firms, and Google and Microsoft software engineers. The Toronto Raptors even snatched up an aerospace engineer who specialized in computational fluid dynamics after he sold them on the parallels between analyzing particle tracking data and player movement data. As basketball analytics have altered front-office strategies, coaching methodologies and player development, NBA teams have become more and more secretive about how they use the heaps of data available to them. Yahoo Sports reached out to a half dozen teams asking them to make analytics staffers available in advance of this week’s NBA Draft. They all either didn’t respond or declined, citing concerns about divulging too many details and giving away their competitive advantage. “Teams are very secretive,” said sports analytics pioneer Ben Alamar, who worked for seven years with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder.
