Jonathan Isaac became the first
#NBA
player inside the bubble to stand during the national anthem. He also chose not to wear a
#BlackLivesMatter
shirt
After the game the first question he fielded was "Do you believe Black Lives Matter?"
He responded: "Absolutely."
Full answer:
Josh Heupel apologizes to Billy Napier as they shake hands after
#Gators
29-16 win.
#Vols
had to come back out of the locker room to take a knee on final play of the game. Tennessee had used their final timeout before Florida's fourth down kneel down that sparked shoving match
I asked
#FSU
HC Mike Norvell the only question I felt mattered after tonight's ACC Championship
Rresume is perfect. But what do you say if the
#CFBPlayoff
committee says the team you fielded tonight isn't the same team that won all those other games?
He wasn't exactly pleased.
More from

shirt for the first Magic game inside the

I know it is Halloween. But 2020 is getting really weird yall.
I just got a notification from Twitter. Does this prove Deshaun Watson wants to be traded to the Bears? Why else would he suddenly decide to follow a Chicago weatherman?

Steve is gone. Three weeks shy of his sixth birthday.
Words can’t express how I feel about this dog. He taught me life was still worth living. He pulled me out of the darkest days of my life.
He wasn’t just a dog. He was more than just family. He was the best.
"It's supposed to be like this at the end... guys crying because they care. This team more than any team I've ever had has loved. They've LOVED." -

True heartache tonight for the Bucs
Somebody out there get
@CSU_Mbball
on the schedule next year.
#BigSouthMBB
All the time you hear people say about
#UCF
- "Do what
#FSU
did, do what Bobby Bowden did. Play teams on the road. Anywhere, any time."
So I asked Bobby Bowden what advice he would have for
@UCF_Football
. You might be surprised at his answer...
Good gracious
#Vols
fans.
Trevor Lawrence said today he wears
#16
because Peyton Manning is his favorite player. He grew up a Tennessee fan. His parents are Tennessee fans.
He might end up as the best college quarterback since Peyton when it's all said and done -- at
#Clemson
This was the exchange between Kelly Bryant and Dabo Swinney after
#Clemson
’s Sugar Bowl loss to
#RollTide
.
Can clearly see Dabo say “I love you”
Guy is 16-2 as a starter. Only lost one game he started & finished
I met Josiah James when he was 14. 8th grader on varsity for
@portergaud
and John Pearson told us then: this kid is the real deal
Josiah's goal - win 4 straight state titles. He won 3. Lost tonight in state semis, scored 37 in final HS game
#Vols
are getting an incredible human
About 15 miles from my childhood home,
#NASCAR
is hosting the biggest crowd of any sporting event since the
#COVID19
pandemic began.
160,000+ seat coliseum will accept up to 30,000 fans tonight.
I really, genuinely hope this works...
Not all of college basketball is broken.
After 13 years as head coach at Charleston Southern,
@CoachBRadebaugh
changed how he did his job. Chose persistent positivity. Spoke LIFE into his players
They responded. The proof is VISIBLE after season ending loss.

Caught up with Feleipe Franks last night after the
#Gators
won the
#OrangeBowl
. Franks was injured vs. Kentucky early in the year, stuck around and was with this team the whole way.
He'll finish his college career somewhere else next year but he will always be a Gator.
BREAKING: Mikey Dukes 3 ⭐️RB from First Baptist School on James Island commits to play football for
#Clemson
.
#ALLIN
Says it is a possibility that he plays hoops for Tigers too.
Big get for Dabo - last Lowcountry player to go to Clemson was Fort D's John Simpson (
@TheReal_74
)
Scary finish at
#Daytona500
Still no update in Victory Lane on Ryan Newman’s health. Denny Hamlin wins the race but that’s secondary right now. Lack of information is concerning many in Victory Lane
"Clemson is used to being kicked, kicked, kicked and spat on, ignored, made fun of... all of a sudden somebody in the middle of nowhere, which is where
#Clemson
is, wins 100 million dollars. They've blown about 80 million trying to buy class. That didn't work." -

ICYMI: Very cool exchange between Dabo Swinney and Steve Addazio last night after
#Clemson
's 27-7 win over BC.
"Helluva job. I knew this was going to be a tough night... Keep rolling. Go win the rest of them."
@ClemsonFB
will try to do the same, Tigers now 10-0
Respect the heck out of Dabo Swinney making this decision before the Syracuse game. Easily could’ve ridden it out one more week so Kelly Bryant didn’t have any options but to stay and play whenever
#Clemson
needed him
Would’ve been easy. Don’t tell me Dabo doesn’t care about KB
#Vols
fans. It gets even better. Tonight was senior night for next year's McDonald's All-American, 5⭐️combo guard that signed with
@Vol_Hoops
.
Meet
@jjjames30
. And see a few
#SCTop10
nominees
👀👀👀
How often do you hear a major college football coach talk like this? Not just about life or Christianity - how often do you hear a college football coach be this candid about anything significant in their own lives?
Dabo Swinney is one of a kind.
#Clemson
Very cool dad moment for Dabo Swinney last night - watch his face shift from locked in, to a massive grin as he greets his son Will after running down the hill before the

@VandyFootball
tweeted about passing of Turner Cockrell.
About 15 minutes later, Brandon Rainey, wearing
#82
to Turner, scored first TD of the game, kneeled in prayer during his celebration.
@CitadelFootball
SID tells us he does not know of Turner's passing. Incredible
Joe Gibbs starts his comments by saying they celebrated the
#Daytona500
win until they realized how bad the crash involving Ryan Newman was. Does not have an update on Newman’s health.
"I knew he was looking over us this game. I just wanted to make sure he knew I was playing for him and I love him."
Incredible composure & tribute to Turner Cockrell tonight.
@CitadelFootball
QB Brandon Rainey (
@BRainey_7
) Rainey wore
#82
to honor Turner, scored first TD of game
Let’s be clear:
-
#UCF
should have won tonight
- UCF fans shouldn’t have left at halftime
- Baylor weathered the storm like a well-coached, big time football team
This ain’t the AAC anymore. 60 minutes is required. UCF is better than this.
A bit of personal news. My final day at
@ABCNews4
will be August 18th.
I’ve accepted the Sports Director position at
@WESH
in Orlando, FL and will start my new position August 22nd.
Thank you for an incredible 5 1/2 years here in the Lowcountry.
More info in the images below:
Love the tenacity from Dakereon Joyner this weekend.
@Cant_StopCinco
has been consistent -- long before committing to
#Gamecocks
. Since the early
@FDPatriot
days.
He's a quarterback.
He was offered a scholarship as a quarterback.
He's going to continue playing quarterback.
Fun fact - while y’all are watching Imagine Dragons on ESPN, we’re watching the
#Clemson
and
#RollTide
bands play.
Because Imagine Dragons is performing in San Francisco. But the game is in Santa Clara
Sure 😂😂
#NationalChampionship
Orlando's bid to become a
#MLB
city is taking another step forward as Pat Williams (who brought the city the

Williams says time is now. Whether it's the

or an expansion team -- Orlando is the best spot for baseball

Very self-aware answer today from John Rhys Plumlee on what he hopes his legacy will be as he leaves
#UCF
Knights are going to miss this guy
I've seen some incredible entrances in college football. Too many to list.
I've never felt the entire stadium literally BOUNCE before the team ran out... and this was before playing an FCS team.
Can't wait to see what it's like at
#UCF
tomorrow against
#Stanford
.
"Good. NATIONALS!" --
Someone in the crowd after Paul Skenes was picked
#1
overall by the Pirates
That grin on Dylan Crews' face says it all. He's happy to be headed to DC and the
#Nationals
"Excuse me a second... You're going to make me go for it on fourth down doing crap like that." --
@CoachGusMalzahn
I friggin love college football
#UCF
#ChargeOn
I hope that umpire knows
@MonteLeeCU
took it easy on him. Those of us who knew him before his
#Clemson
days back at
@CofCBaseball
know Monte can protect his guys with the best of them.
#ACCBase
Probably the only time all season Trevor Lawrence showed any sign of emotion or acted like a 19 year old true freshman.
This is great 😂

#ALLIN
"Some wonder why we pray for a football game. So I tell them - in this game every player on the field is willing to die for every person watching."
Wow. Incredible words of prayer from the military chaplain before the
#ArmyNavyGame
today.
Full statement from
#NASCAR
on Ryan Newman. He is in serious condition but his injuries are not life threatening.
Incredible and wonderful development. Wow.

Still awaiting an update on Ryan Newman’s condition after the

At this point we know he was taken directly to the hospital and we just don’t know much else
As Paul Skenes is announced as the first overall pick — here’s his teammate’s reaction.
Dylan Crews — with a smile. Is back on the phone now.
