BRAND NEW SHOW LAUNCHING @johncrossmirror & I each week will be talking all things Arsenal on “Seeing Red” our brand new show focused on The Gunners. Check out our primer episode below for a taste of what’s to come.

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on state of the game: "We're still in an educational institution, but there is nothing educational about college basketball right now. It's all transactional. And we all put our heads in the sand." Sampson, Tom Izzo + John Calipari are speaking out."

Thank you @NIUCoachHammock for saying it out loud! The NCAA has let the toothpaste out of the tube and I fear that we've lost the plot. We must hold these young people accountable to actually getting an education.

Club feeling the angst of those on the Club Level waiting list who paid 25% fee to join a number of years ago and still showing very little movement. Nothing the club can do, with the unprecedented renewal rates of season tickets. Unlikely to change

I used to tell the college athletes I coached: “This isn’t just about running. I’m preparing you for life.” Most didn’t believe me at the time. But a decade later, they all do now. Because what you learn on the track shows up everywhere. Running & Sport explains life.

Thanks to all my podcast subscribers/listeners for all the support in moving over to the new show in the last 24 hours. If you haven't yet - Links to the new show are below. The new show is third in the Apple sports chart at the moment, which shows how many of you have switched

Right, to all my loyal Inside Arsenal podcast subscribers and listeners. I've basically had a nightmare and in my tiredness this morning in Madrid, while trying to delete today's episode because I had uploaded the wrong audio, I managed to delete the actual Inside Arsenal show

Visitor to the Armoury: "So, how do I do this?" Staff member: "how do you do what?" Visitor: "How do I win the dog?"

Found this Facebook post from Terry Pettit pretty interesting. In particular, the timing of the announcement also hit me in a weird way, and then the presser itself seemed to leave a lot of people cold.

🤬College Sports can be so ruthless. Former @saintjosephs 🏀 HC @PhilMartelli on #TheHowardEskinShow tells how after he spent 34 years working for this school, that the disrespectful, and sloppy way he was fired in March of 2019 still eats away at him. #NCAA

This video just resurfaced on the tl. If you ever wonder what happen to the culture of St Joes basketball, look no further then this. Hawk Hill is still recovering from this. So poorly handled.

With the Madrid games coming up, scammers will be all over the desperation. Beware of rats such as @GabrielAfc900 Block and report

"I've never been one that said I don't believe student-athletes shouldn't be paid. But the way it is now is ridiculous. It's utterly ridiculous" Steve Alford was asked if there's anything he & his staff need to do to help navigate this new landscape of college basketball & here

The test of a relationship is not how much you enjoy each other’s highs. It’s how well you support each other’s lows. It’s easy to get along on a good day. Care is showing up on a hard day. The most reliable people in your life are the ones who step up when you're down.

Tony Bennett says it's the right time for college athletes to receive revenue. But the Virginia basketball coach says the game and college athletics are not in a healthy spot—and he's retiring just weeks before the season. "There needs to be change." https://t.co/TULXudeFt2

If you have a few moments to listen to this interview as a parent with your child. Possible one of the best post race interviews I have ever watched #PlayOn

The algorithm of this app is horrendous. It matters not how often I click “not interested in this” it just brings me back to what it blatantly wants me to see regardless of my preferences. It’s designed to expose you to hate. Designed to make you, as a result, more hateful.
