Why is this such an irritating day for sports news…*redacted* Indy star journalist wants to write a column about being creepy and unprofessional just for more clicks, very much destroying any sincerity in apology (of which there was really none in the first place). UGHHH

I recognize that it’s important to set a precedent with Porter so this doesn’t happen again, but it’s hard to understand why the NBA (or any league) doesn’t enact similar punishments for domestic abusers/other criminals. Those behaviors won’t stop until they’re punished either.

My dad, a Kellogg grad, and I have used this phrase since 2017 when we got rly into Northwestern basketball during their first tourney run(yes, I know now that the second R is silent)

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how many times I went to sporting goods stores as a young player looking for women’s basketball shoes and how disappointed I was every time I was told they didn’t exist. I always had to translate to men’s shoe sizes. This means so much.

Even so, there was a huge police presence and reports as early as 8:11 pm. They could have sent an alert along the lines of “there have been reports of… around Clark st. Beach. Out of an abundance of caution we suggest you shelter in place.”

Listening to the pxp for LSU Iowa has me thinking about the framing of the commentary. Every single shot has been some variation of “she can’t hit/get it” as opposed to “no go” or “off the ___” I just feel like a mixture of both would be more effective it’s pretty repetitive rn
