Oh, it’s somehow worse
The Orioles suspended broadcaster Kevin Brown for a remark he made on the team's record against Tampa Bay the past two seasons, which was listed in the team's game notes and went with a graphic made by the team's network.

It was actually gross how little the talent cared about our team. We made the tournament and gave them stories about the players...they chose to share none and got our nickname wrong repeatedly.
Since we've had so many people just discovering our program, we'd like to offer some corrections from the ESPN broadcast:
We are the Retrievers NOT the Terriers
We are in the America East NOT the American East
And our players are more than bows and eyeblack, they have stories

Whenever we hosted these all day VB tournaments, my dad would always call and ask “Have you eaten today?”, my answer was usually no. Then an hour later I’d always see him walking into our gym with Subway for me and he’d go “you have to eat…good luck” then leave. Gonna miss him.

“He was kicked off the team at Ohio State for a sexual assault allegation, spent last year at a junior college and is now at Austin Peay, and let me tell you, this coaching staff is excited to have him!”

After we beat UVa the NCAA requested all the footage we had, including locker room (they didn’t have a camera ready). They used it, but then got upset we used a 2 second clip of game footage in a social post and demanded we take it down
Your reminder that the NCAA’s idiotic policies mean this video will be fine, but official SDSU ones will not be posted anywhere because they can only use official NCAA video

The amount of people who don’t understand how vaccines work is crazy. You can test positive, but not be sick because the virus is in you, but not infecting you because of the vaccine. It means the vaccine worked. It’s why you don’t test if you’re vaccinated and asymptomatic.
