ESPN is in a tough spot. There's little information to pass along on Damar Hamlin, and it would be inappropriate to show highlights of other games. Credit to the network's talent for doing their best under tough circumstances. #MNF

It's bogus that St. Bonaventure is on the road for a third consecutive NIT game, 7 p.m. Tuesday at Virginia (ESPN). The Bonnies were a 5-seed in their bracket, the Cavaliers a 6. Another reason the tournament has little credibility. #NIT #Bonnies

ESPN deserves nothing but the highest praise for its coverage of the Damar Hamlin situation. Scott Van Pelt and Lisa Salters have engaged in a live, spontaneous and riveting discussion on all aspects.

Latest on the Capital Region sh*t list: ESPN's Rebecca Lobo, who said on the air, “Good luck finding something to do in Albany.” Is she that stupid? You don't make that type of comment to a national TV audience. #IOWAvsLSU #NCAAWBB

Even a domed stadium is vulnerable delays. Power outage at Tropicana Field has delayed Yankees-Rays. They need to get a real MLB stadium in the Tampa area or move the team.

None of WNYT's TV competitors (Spectrum, CBS-6, ABC-10) credited NewsChannel 13 for breaking the story of Joe Cremo and David Nichols leaving the UAlbany basketball program. That's sloppy, irresponsible reporting. If WNYT didn't report it, we still may not know about it.

While I agree with everything @elleduncanESPN just said on SportsCenter, I'm not sure that's the proper forum to express such sentiments. Let the athletes and coaches go off on the Texas shooting. That's "outside the lines" for anchors -- news or sports.
