The Thunder won 84 games. Had the league MVP. Won the Finals. It was an all-time season.
And yet, I can’t think of a single iconic moment. Not many highlight plays. Not an appealing style of hoops. It feels so weird seeing them as champs even though they were historically great

On this day in 2016, the Cavaliers pulled off the 3-1 comeback and Game of Thrones released The Battle of the Bastards. What an insane combo.

ESPN is so lucky that the Pacers came through again with an insane comeback. An epic Finals game that was given absolutely zero juice by the broadcast.
Horrible production for a championship stage. The Finals in the bubble felt like a WAY bigger event than tonight did. Awful.

FOX sees this atmosphere and wants absolutely nothing to do with it. I’ll never be able to grasp why. Big Noon Kickoff is the worst.

It’s crazy how we’re either gonna see one of two tweets hit the timeline today:
1. Penn State announcing that James Franklin has been fired
OR
2. “Game Week! 1-0, Nittany Nation! Iowa, Iowa, Iowa!”
I’ll be refreshing like hell all day

Alabama lost to 5-5 Oklahoma
Ole Miss lost to 5-5 Florida
Texas A&M lost to 4-6 Auburn
Colorado lost to 4-6 Kansas
All teams in prime playoff contention. All teams that botched their chances.
I won’t apologize for Penn State barely beating 6-4 Minnesota. We won. End of story.

I know the buyout is huge. I know it would set this program back financially.
But I truly don’t see how James Franklin can still have a job come Monday.

I know they lost two games, but this Ohio State squad is the best college football team I’ve ever seen.
Had the longest and most difficult path of anybody to a championship, and they’re absolutely dismantling teams. On both sides of the ball. Gotta tip your cap.

I get VERY uncomfortable when people spend money on me, so this phone call was the most awkward I could’ve possibly been
But I can’t thank @BarstoolBigCat and @PFTCommenter enough. The nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me. And yes, I did say I love you at the end. Go Birds🦅
Big Cat and PFT are addicted to buying Super Bowl tickets
They also surprise Yak and Mostly Sports producer Connor Griffin with a ticket to the game

What a year so far for Penn State sports:
-Wrestling wins its 4th title in a row for the third time under Cael
-Women’s volleyball wins the natty for Coach Katie
-Football makes it to the CFP Semifinal
And now hockey has advanced to its first Frozen Four in history #WeAre

Can’t imagine what Ohio State fans are going through right now
$20 million for the best roster in the country. Harbaugh’s gone. Michigan’s awful. The Game is in The Shoe. This was the game to beat the brakes off of them
And instead they’ve lost four straight. Ryan Day is toast

Kinnick Stadium lived up to the hype by the way. Awesome venue. Loud as hell. It was great getting to be a part of The Wave, too.
Wish we would’ve come out with a win, but I’m just glad this team finally showed life in a season that’s already over. Fun trip.

The New York Giants wasted the first six years of Saquon Barkley’s career. He never complained. Just stayed true to the process.
And now in his first year of freedom, he’s run for over 2,000 yards and led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. Couldn’t be happier for him.

The Bonnie Blue tweet is going viral again. This time people are focusing on the 76ers merch I’m wearing in the Photoshop.
I’ll say it again: I was not the janitor. I was not there. This was fake. And I am certainly not on the Sixers medical staff like some people are asserting.

This season is supposed to be Penn State’s best chance at winning a national championship. This team is supposed to be different.
But this first test of the year wound up being the same exact Penn State loss that we’ve seen over and over again for a decade.

If Penn State falls out of the 5-seed (which will most likely happen), I’ll be upset
If we fall out of the 6-seed, I’ll be irate
If the committee even THINKS about seeding Ohio State ahead of us, I’m going on a full-on rampage

Vader hops in this tank to accelerate the healing process for wounds and injuries. So Abdul Carter is probably healing fast and will take over the galaxy in the semis

Good. They deserve to be left out. This team hasn’t looked right all season.
From #2 in the country to unranked in the first week of October. What a waste of a season.

I vividly remember being in the same room as Franklin when he made this speech in 2018. I was a freshman at the time.
I truly believed that he would be the guy to get this program to the next level, and it kills me that the hope is entirely gone now.

2016: Penn State got thrashed by Michigan in Ann Arbor, rebounded by beating Minnesota at home, then went on to beat #2 Ohio State in Beaver

James Franklin cannot be the head coach of this football program any longer.

Look at the replies to this tweet. Just a ton of Ohio State fans RIGHTFULLY shitting on these awful noon kickoffs
This narrative that Penn State fans are babies because we’re the “only ones” complaining about Big Noon and TV networks is ridiculous. Everyone’s pissed
Ohio State will end its regular season with six straight noon games as the Buckeyes’ Nov. 23 home game against Indiana will be a Big Noon game on FOX. 11w.rs/3YLmnwn

It’s very common for people to shit on James Franklin. I’ve been critical of him many times myself…
But I don’t think it’s crazy to say that this play call quite literally saved Penn State’s Playoff hopes. Unbelievable decision by Franklin. Gutsy.

Made it back to Chicago. Still can’t believe last night was real. Just an insane memory that I’ll have for the rest of my life.
HUGE thanks once again to PFT and Big Cat. Gonna go home now and watch the game broadcast to take it all in again. Go Birds. Champs.

Joel Embiid is my all-time favorite Sixer. He turned the franchise around after the dark years and made basketball fun again in Philly.
He’s far from perfect as a player, but I blame this organization for failing to win a ring with him, and I’d feel terrible if this was his end.

Penn State goes up 10-0 in the 1st quarter, only to muster up 3 points the rest of the game in one of the most embarrassing losses of the Franklin era
