Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

These dudes have been calling each other the worst President in history for 80 straight minutes — and neither one of them got really offended until their golf skills were questioned. Hahaha.

The NCAA Tournament is still young. But Phil Martelli Jr. might've already delivered the best answer to any question we'll hear during this event.

That was so awesome from Max Scherzer. Shouted his manager back into the dugout, then got the strikeout to end the inning. Big night at the age of 41.

It should be hard for most people to get through that video without smiling at least once.

I usually like it when the NCAA loses in court. But today felt different. We all decided a long time ago that gambling on the sport you play should be a career-ender. But Brendan Sorsby, some great lawyers and a judge facing community pressure just said otherwise. Not great.

"(Duke's) the best team in the country, according to the predictive metrics. They are one of the very best teams of the past three decades, according to KenPom. They've got the best player in the country. And they're up 14 with 8:03 to go. ... You have to close that out."

Dusty May doesn't want to complain about the transfer portal opening roughly 30 minutes after Michigan won the 2026 NCAA Tournament. So I'll do it for him. It's ridiculous, unncessary and easy to fix. So fix it.

Some are bothered by how Will Wade is handling this NC State situation — but I’m not. Seems weird to get mad at coaches for lying, then also get mad when they tell the truth. Plus, if the folks at McNeese seem fine with everything, why should I be upset?

The blizzard in NYC kept me home this week. So I've been watching games with my little guys every night, just every night trying to identify their favorite possible future Memphis Grizzlies. Currently locked-in on Darius Acuff Jr. Everybody is excited.

I don't care how many schools we've added to Division I over the past however many years -- literally none of them are national championship contenders. It's nonsense to use them as even one reason to expand the NCAA Tournament most clearly don't want expanded. Eye On College Basketball Podcast

The Eye On College Basketball Podcast turned into a Lane Kiffin podcast toward the end. My bottom line is that I really don't think many coaches would do what he just did under this very specific set of circumstances.

As Sam Hardiman reported, improvements to the downtown area are the main thing holding up a new deal between the Grizzlies and the City of Memphis. Yes, there are stats indicating crime is down. That’s great. But folks need to feel safe — and, truth is, too many no longer do.

Darryn Peterson remains the biggest question at the tip-top of the 2026 NBA Draft. As I said on the Eye On College Basketball Podcast, I wouldn't let him fall out of the top three. (His upside is too high.) But it's more than cramping that makes his evaluation tougher than it should be.

I just got back home!

I understand why the Players Era Festival is flourishing and Maui is struggling. (Money) But, as I explained on the Eye On College Basketball Podcast, there's something special about that little gym on that island, and I hope there's a way to make it a destination event for elite programs again.

How much did Koa Peat's poor shooting at this week's NBA Draft Combine really matter to how he's viewed as a prospect?

A lot of people have said a lot of things about Darius Acuff's freshman season at Arkansas. Sometimes it gets twisted into something it's not. So I tried to clarify heading into the Razorbacks' first-round game in the NCAA Tournament with Hawaii.
