If #Cashman’s replacement wants to bring in and hire their own manager, so be it. But the blame for the #Yankees’ shortcomings since 2009 don’t fall on #Girardi or #Boone but on the guy who inherited a wagon in the late ‘90s and has built one winning roster on his own.

On a day when #Kapler is scapegoated for the #Giants’ failures, I hope Aaron Boone doesn’t suffer the same fate. I 💯 believe the #Yankees’ failures in recent years are the result of roster construction and not on-field decisions. #Cashman has earned a pink slip. Not #Boone. 1/2.

The #NCAATournament upsets have been wildly entertaining, but college basketball is broken. That there won’t be a single No. 1 seed even in the Elite Eight is evidence that one-and-done has, over time, decimated the sport. Overemphasis on the 3 hasn’t helped either.

As demolished as I am by tonight, I’m grateful for one of the most joyous #Michigan seasons I’ve experienced in 40-plus years as a fan. And I think Harbaugh, Weiss, Moore and Minter - who each struggled - will all be better because of tonight’s loss. As will JJ … #GoBlue.

I wish Blake Corum had been healthy and playing tonight. I think so much is different if he’d played - play calling deep in the red zone, in particular, but also establishing a consistent run game given his ability to both make people miss and break tackles. #GoBlue forever.

Godspeed Mike Leach. The college football world is a less interesting place this morning. His analyses of the best Halloween candy and which Pac-12 mascot would win in a fight were priceless. Thoughts are with his family and other loved ones.

All love to Cade McNamara and forever respect for 2021, but the offense is just better with JJ. #MichiganFootball.

I’ve spent 2 much time over the last 7 hrs processing what happened btwn #Michigan and #Wisconsin. I’ve been a fan of Mich since The Judge & General, and went to Wis from 88-92. I ❤️ both. I ❤️ @JuwanHoward. But he pitched a hissy fit over a TO, and everything ensued from there.

We can’t match Martin Luther King’s courage - but we can honor it. Every Senator praising MLK on his birthday needs to put their vote where their quote is and protect our voting rights. If you agree, reply with #BeAHeroForVotingRights.
