Ted Lasso came along at a time when we needed it most.
As the late great Jim Valvano said, we need to laugh, think & cry every day. The show did that in each episode.
The ending was perfect. Except for it being the end.
Believe. Always.
Barbecue Sauce.

- Ahead of the Madness today a thread of most iconic @mid_madness upsets called by current @MM_MBB_TV voices- not purely seeding based but how iconic the upset was🔥 I know I didn’t get em all.. but I tried🙌 @mid_madness @madeformarch H/T @TVSportsUpdatesRecords of seeds in first-round matchups for every current March Madness play-by-play announcer:
- Yeah, Steph Curry is ridiculous. Yeah, Mike Breen with another all time epic “BANG!” call. But how about that pass by Brandin Podziemski? Absolute dime. Right where Beal couldn’t touch it. Perfection all around.
- Jeff Van Gundy: “Can we agree you should get an assist if a guy is fouled & makes 2 free throws?” Mark Jackson: “No. That’s not how it’s counted historically” JVG: “We used to not have a three pointer” Jackson: “We used to have 2 announcers” Mike Breen: “KCP makes the 2nd”
- 10 months ago Sion James officially transferred to Duke following 4 years at Tulane (where he graduated with every honor a student possibly could). Today’s game vs Mount St. Mary’s is the 149th of his college career. I had the honor of calling more than a third of the 114
02:19Had the honor of calling nearly 40 of Sion James’ (@SionJames14) Tulane home games. He got better every year. He’s one of the most explosive athletes I’ve ever seen. It’s impossible to find a harder worker. And somehow, he’s a better human being. Duke just struck gold Enjoy⬇️ - LSU/Wake Forest was an all-time classic heavyweight fight Paul Skenes/Rhett Lowder duel was one for the ages Tommy Tanks’ walkoff was his 50th career homer to send the Tigers to the CWS Finals Tonight in Omaha was college baseball at its absolute peak
- Tulane Head Coach, Ron Hunter, is at it again, this time stealing Ross Hodge’s spot on the North Texas bench🤣🤣🤣 The man is one of a kind. @mid_madness @ContextFreeCBB

00:06This Memphis/Tulane environment is electric. Ron Hunter and Penny Hardaway were ready to exchange blows🤣🤣🤣 Get to ESPN2 yall🍿 @mid_madness - On Nov 10, 2021, Tyon Grant-Foster collapsed at halftime of DePaul’s season opener. He underwent 2 heart surgeries. He didn’t play for 2 years. @Ty_Youngbull just scored 22 points to lead Grand Canyon to its 1st ever NCAA Tournament win🫡🙏 @mid_madness x.com/brhoops/status…Tyon Grant-Foster’s Journey: 2019-20- Indian Hills CC 20-21- Kansas 21-22- DePaul (One half of the opener) Then had 2 heart surgeries 22-23 DNP 23-24 WAC POY at Grand Canyon Now @Ty_Youngbull plays in Big Dance for GCU🫡🙏 @mid_madness @CoachMattMcCall
- What Caitlin Clark does on the basketball court is remarkable. Add a ESPY for Best Female College Athlete to her evergrowing trophy case No man or woman had recorded a 30-point triple-double in NCAA Tournament She had B2B 40-point triple-doubles for Iowa
- Scott Van Pelt & Tim Legler talking Jalen Williams on SportsCenter: “This dude’s a star” -SVP “He’s upped his scoring every month. If he’s doing this, OKC is dangerous. They’ve got a shot vs anyone” -Legler @BrandonRahbar @ThunderFilmRoom @ThunderFocus @ThunderMuse_

00:00Duke Nation, what's good??? - Was there ever a doubt that Michael Block was getting that thing up & down at 18 to qualify for next year's PGA Championship? What a week. What a day. A club pro doing that playing alongside Rory McIlroy in the final round at major. Sports at its peak.
- Only Tiger Woods can have this chip go halfway up the flag and drop for birdie. That grin towards Steve Williams says it all🤣 And this was only like his 3rd best highlight of the third round of the 2008 US Open at Torrey…
00:22For those watching Tiger Woods during his third round at 2008 US Open at Torrey for the first time during this weather delay at Oakmont on NBC, that 70-foot eagle putt at 13 is just the start of an absurd stretch🐐 So many great @DanHicksNBC calls too🔥 - #GreatestCallsBracket 💥RADIO CHAMPION💥 Rod Bramblett's call of the "Kick Six" has been voted the "Greatest Radio Play-by-Play Call of the Last 50 Years," prevailing over Jack Buck's call of Kirk Gibson's HR in G1 of the '88 WS. @STAAtalent @westwood1sports @AuburnFootball
