Who was this sports editor? Al, please out him for ridiculousness. Any missed shot has to be followed by a rebound. It could be a team rebound or a even a dead ball rebound (if the horn sounds), but they’re all rebounds.

Watching Bulls games, I notice TV/radio commentators are very generous with rebounds, many of which are recoveries. Was always told by former sports editors that a rebound had to be fought for in the paint (required jumping) rather than chasing a loose ball.

Oh, you have it so tough, poor baby! Think of folks in California, Oregon, fleeing for their lives.

OMG. Cubs' alleged "ace" reliever Brandon Morrow has been sidelined since July 18. I forgot what he looks like. His 2-year contract is the biggest joke since the Whoopie Cushion. #TheInvisibleMan

The $64,000 question: Following heart-crushing Elite 8 losses, do Purdue's Carsen Edwards and Duke freshmen Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett, Tre Jones and Cam Reddish turn pro? Edwards has nothing more to prove at this level-- but the young Dukies? #CareerMoves

Bryce Drew before Vanderbilt firing: "My biggest concern is our players. This has been an emotional ride for them with adversity that none of us have faced before. So my first priority is to them. I'm also a mentor. That's my job. That's what I do."
