Whether it was the greatest win in Martelli family history was a debate for another day.
All that mattered was that Phil Martelli Jr. guided his VCU team to a remarkable upset over North Carolina, writes @highcheese.bsky.social.

Strong chance Iowa-Nebraska in the Sweet 16 sets an NCAA tournament record for punts
Tough draw for Phil Martelli Jr in his first tournament game at VCU. North Carolina is better than a 6 seed, with or without Caleb Wilson.
Really a perfect introduction to the life ahead of him
Five years $135 mil is a very fair deal for Jesus Luzardo. Strong work by the Phillies
Welp, that is not Cam Payne.
(Same number, but yeesh.)

The questions that will actually define the Eagles' offseason and shape their strategy are complicated to answer, writes @highcheese.bsky.social.
Part of me has always wondered if the Eagles are resigned to take their medicine this year (Brown, Goedert) to give themselves maximum flexibility next offseason
There is a bare minimum return the Eagles need in order to justify the competitive hit they’d take without Brown in 2026. It is a return where only a team’s best available draft pick is good enough.
SAVE THIS GORGEOUS HOUND
Sad
The question they need to answer: why do we want to try to compete? Are we trying to be Alabama? Are we going after the same students? What do we gain by being able to beat Alabama at basketball? What’s the point of all of this?
Before 2021, Alabama won 25+ games four times in 40 years. They’ve now won 25+ games in 4 of 5 years. Between one and done, the transfer portal, and state school scale booster dollars, teams like Villanova can’t compete in the new labor market. It sucks, but they can’t. It’s self-evidential
Villanova’s challenge is much more existential than finding the right coach. The world done changed. They (and lots of other schools) need to identify their realistic place in that world in order to identify the coach who can lead them there
Some words on Aidan Miller, and why his Phillies debut could come sooner than you think.

Quentin Grimes is 24 years old. When Caleb Martin was 24, he was a two-way player who played 18 games for the Hornets and was cut a year later. Just food for thought
Still not sure why Rams deferred after winning the toss given the forecast
Really good coverage by the Eagles all drive. Just a couple of elite throws by Matthew Stafford

It’s the question everyone is asking
Big game today
