Source: Giants trade Dexter Lawrence to Bengals for No. 10 pick The star defensive tackle had demanded a trade on April 6.

Dexter Lawrence got his wish. The Giants traded the All-Pro DT to the Bengals for the No. 10 pick.

The Giants have two top 10 picks but no longer have a cornerstone on defense.

On this date 60 years ago, Red Auerbach announces Bill Russell will be the head coach of the Boston Celtics the following season ahead of NBA Finals Game 1. Not only would he be the first Black head coach in a major North American pro sport—not including the Negro Leagues—he’d be a player coach…

Been waiting for this one for a few weeks. Sublime's story is sad but in LA, rock radio kept them alive playing this song and the singles from the album. And this song will always make me happy. Love this album. Loved how they repped Long Beach and Bradley meshed so many styles.

That was definitely my experience with it. It was overplayed but even for someone who (at the time) liked Limp Bizkit, I can look back and think it was also so silly. I’d trade that for Linkin Park having a No 1 hit

I've said we need to apologize for making this song a hit 25 years ago. Of all the rap-rock/nu-metal jawns that were popular, THIS got to No. 1? No amount of nostalgia or DJ-AM's scratching can save this song

At least it sampled a great Chili Peppers instrumental that I loved later in college.

Yup. Same release date also as Sign o the Times in 87 too.

Can we discuss this on the 31st? Cause I’m ready for a fun chat about this album being soooo sooooo good.

Life Can Be So Nice is my sleeper fave on this. Mountains means a lot more to me after seeing the movie

As great as Notre Dame looked the other day, UConn's got them looking mortal today.

March Madness: St. John's Dylan Darling and those who know him best Newsday talks to his former coaches and his mom, Kim Leavell, who describes her state of mind watching his buzzer-beater vs. Kansas.

Dylan Darling's buzzer beater over Kansas made him, well, a March Madness darling this week. I talked to his mother and past coaches to find out why he was made for that moment.

It's amazing how Cam Thomas' journey changed since I got switched off the Nets beat in Dec 2024. Some folks swore that previous summer he was gonna be paid and was untouchable. Injuries in 24-25 and now he's been waived twice this calendar year.

Nothing is guaranteed when you're good but limited

Had never heard this song before and I've been counting down til you get to Sublime. Pretty good!

Been fascinated by you describing this era as Post-Beck. Never realized how much he influenced this direction but it's more for me to admire him as much as I already do.

Many folks in my biz failed this. Doesn’t let people off the hook ignoring when we reported it and I read enough stories. But too many in my biz didn’t go deep enough.

As you often say....it always was in plain sight. Even if people didn't know, it fits with everything else the plan described

I don't mind this song. Saw Anderson.Paak do it in Memphis last year. Bruno was showing love to the 70s in this version of "Who He Sound Like". I dug it.

BUT this reminds me that Andy hasn't dropped a solo album since 2019. And we need another Paak album

Imagine telling somebody in 2011 or 2016 that Childish Gambino’s producer would be a 3-time Oscar winner for scoring movies. The dude that produced “Bonfire”, “Firefly” and “3005”

Big ups to Ludwig Goransson.

I'm jealous St. John's gets to go to my old stomping grounds in San Diego. Might need to ask my bosses If I can help with coverage so I can enjoy my college town one time.

Word. This feels in line like what we've been seeing the last 4-5 years - but equity firms owning these catalogs has my nerves the same way.

I'd love to know how much that made the family

But I see that's the wave now. Cats selling catalogs for the pay-day. It's wild and I see it for the family. But longterm, I wonder what this will mean

Never thought I'd see somebody get 80 points again after Kobe did it. It puts in perspective how incredible Wilt was to get 100

Salute Bam Adebayo getting 83!!!! That was remarkable.

Ahhhh man. This song was a part of my HS radio memories around 2000-02. The local rock radio station in LA loves 311 - but I guess that fits the crowd you said loved 311. Lotta cats I knew dug them

Not the best lyrics but fun b/c of memories loving their albums

This devilish, cruel winter got me thrilled to see 60 degrees today. We survived heavy snow and bitter cold for this goodness. Soon, this will feel normal and welcoming.
