Well @bluejays the #mlb says it’s not going to investigate #aaronjudge and his side glance.  He then proceeded to hit his 10th #homerun of the season.  Stealing signs is fine.  It’s just the way you do it.  And if the Jays pitcher was tipping pitches he needs to clean it up.  
Tyler O’Shea love @jokermaghq and your piece on @athletics pitcher #masonmiller who thru a drug test for work found out he had #type1diabetes and put him on a course to the major leagues.  
Fantastic that #toddbowles kept a promise to his late mom and got his college degree at 59.  #joeburrow knows all the @bengals need to get paid and not just him.  @francisngannou is the face of the @pflmma and will get paid accordingly.  
Tonight #nikolajokic @nuggets send home @lakers in #nbaplayoffs it would make me very happy.  
@seattlekraken hell of a run in #stanleycupplayoffs now I want @vegasgoldenknights to win it all.

I need to head to #portlandoregon and visit the @thesportsbrapdx which only shows #womenssports #suebird & #dianataurasi have been there.  #jennynguyen had a dream and made it a reality in 2022. Business is booming. All because she had to plead to get a bar to put on the #womenscollegebasketball championship game back in 2018.  
@emmanuelacho #lamarjackson doesn’t have a damn thing to prove with his new contract.  #obj isn’t going to help the @ravens this season. First round pic #zayflowers will be an impact player.  Jackson has been proving doubters wrong his whole life. This contract shows that he was right.  No agent. Switch to #wr at the #nflcombine in 2018. Hell no.  
#willieandersonjr congrats on going to @houstontexans with #3 pick in the #nfldraft last night.  #terminator jewelry impressive.  
#willlevis @btmcgraw where would you like him to end up?  That was one long night.  @detroitlionsnfl #jahmyrgibbs #rb at #12 interesting pick but maybe he’ll become the next #barrysanders or #billysims more old school. 
@njdevils three in a row over the @nyrangers #game6 mañana.  
@seattlekraken finish @coloradoavalanche tonight. #stanleycupplayoffs always stressful. 
#nbaplayoffs @celtics get @sixers next round but will #joelembiid be healthy? If not it could be a short series. 
@nyknicks #juliusrandle TBD if he plays vs @miamiheat Sunday. 
@yankees here’s hoping #aaronjudge hip doesn’t cause him to miss too much time.  #gerritcole 5-0 after beating @rangers last night.  
#shoheiohtani #homerun short of #cycle last night & improved to 4-0 on mound. Don’t look now but @angels are 14-12.  
There is a sequel in the works for #dodgeball #benstiller get on board man. #vincevaughn is ready.
