The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame mourns the passing of Bob Pettit, a sleek, skilled big man who revolutionized the forward position during his career. The 11-time NBA All-Star and 2-time MVP retired as the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and left an enduring legacy. He led the St. Louis Hawks to the 1958 NBA championship over the Boston Celtics. The Basketball Hall of Fame salutes this true giant of the game.

Here’s a statistic you probably didn’t know: Alabama currently leads the SEC and ranks eighth nationally in punting, with Alex Asparuhov averaging 48.6 yards per punt. @CFBNerds dropped this nugget on the show earlier today. Did this stat surprise you?

My grandfather used to say some players make the game look easy and a few make it look unfair. Eric Davis in 1987 was the second kind. He hit three grand slams in May alone, which tied the major league record for one month that Rudy York set back in 1938, and he was doing it in a Reds outfield where he also happened to be one of the best defenders alive. The number that stops me is 129. He gave back 33 games to hamstrings and shoulders and still finished at .293 with 100 RBI to go with the 37 and 50. Nobody had ever paired 30 homers with 50 steals before him. Somebody out there watched a player like this and has been waiting years for an excuse to bring him up.

It has been great to be in #NewOrleans for the last two days and to visit with the #RepublicanSecretariesOfState to discuss election issues, administrative responsibilities for the office, and the 2026 General Election! #ALPolitics #RSLC

Wednesday night was the last time I will have the opportunity to see the Cincinnati Reds play in the 2026 season. It was a great game against the #AtlantaBraves as they defeated the #Reds 3-2 in 10 innings. In many ways it was a game reflective of the entire season! #GoReds #MLB

Tuesday was the last time I saw the #Reds play, and win, in person for the 2026 season! I took my mom with me to #TruistPark in Atlanta to see the Reds and the Braves! The Reds won 4 to 0 over the Eastern division champion #AtlantaBraves! We had a great time! #GoReds #MLB

Sandy Koufax retired after 1966 at just 30, elbow wrecked, with three Cy Youngs and a perfect game already banked. He's been famously guarded about public appearances ever since, so catching him loosening up in Dodger blue at this 1990 Old-Timers Game is a genuinely rare sighting, not the kind of footage that exists in abundance.

Identical twins Austin and Tyler Jones umpired their first MLB game together today in Baltimore. They broke in together in the Minors in 2014 and haven't worked on the same field in over ten years!
