Huge #boxing #caneloalvarez vs #jermellcharlo tomorrow night.  #collegefootball tomorrow.
  Also #wnbaplayoffs #liberty visit  @ConnecticutSun  for pivotal game three tonight.   @LVAces  can sweep #dallaswings tonight. 
 #nfl going to get harsher for betting on your own team.  Two years!  If you're going to @nyjets game sunday ticket prices are going up because of one #taylorswift but that shouldn't be shocking.  What will be more shocking is if the #jets play a competitive game vs #chiefskingdom aka  @KansasCityChiefs  on #snf because if they don't it's going to be ugly in NYC.  I got KC 38-3.  
How do the  @SFGiants fire #gabekapler with 3 games left in the #mlb season?  Let them play.  
 @marlins  may have to visit #citifield on Monday because of the #mets crappy handling of the field.  You have a #soccer match on the pitch and can't get the field up to snuff and have a game postponed on a day it doesn’t' rain this week?  Not acceptable.  @uncfieldhockey #2 & @rutgersfieldhockey #6 in the county. #goheels baby.  #scarletknights could have the makings of a very magical season. 
Hey Taylor go to @nwsl @washingtonspirit game tomorrow.

The goddamn @nyjets everyone can see that #zachwilson isn't the answer at #quarterback except for the men controlling the team.  The biggest name in NYJ history is #joenamath & that was #1969 the year of my birth.  That's the face of the franchise.  There has been moments.  But that's the teams only #superbowl appearance.  They've come close but no cigar.  There is talent on this team.  This is #professional #football not #littleleague and it's time to act like an #nfl team for the fans.  For everyone.  They could have beaten the  @patriots  Sunday.  Fifteen straight losses.  And still #robertsaleh is sticking with Wilson.  Wake up!!! 
All the hate for  @CUBuffsFootball  and #deionsanders it's one game.  The team was 1-11 last year.  #bonix is 32 years old and on his second college team with @oregonfootball that was a huge step up.  This year has been a total success for the #buffs & @uscfb comes to town this weekend.  Deion is great for #cfb2023 and added the punch it needed this season.  Because let's be honest lot of parity this year.  No true super team which I love.  Anybody could win it.  
Even @texasfootball @partylikearochkind and Dom would love that. 
 @mvillemustangfb get road win.
 #breannastewart @nyliberty have to win tonight #wnbaplayoffs or else. 
And the  @TorontoRaptors  are going to sign #damianlillard really this is finally going to happen? 
 @yankees  and  @mets  both don't qualify for the playoffs.  Are we shocked?  What a disaster for both #mlb teams this year.  Disappointing to say the least.  Will #aaronboone and #buckshowalter both get the boot?  I say Buck yes, Aaron no.  #halsteinbrenner is not his dad.  He's a businessman not an owner.  Only cares about the bottom line.

I am a huge fan of #flashgordon wish he wasn’t a fictional character.  #quarterback #newyorkjets sounds so right.  
#tyreekhill @stephenasmith says @miamidolphins going to #superbowl this #nfl season.  Need to beat @patriots Sunday & #tuatagovailoa needs to stay healthy.  @cubuffsfootball hosting @csufootball has some bulletin board material.  #jaynorvell not a fan of #deionsanders wearing a hat & sunglasses to press conferences. #shedeursanders can’t be happy. 
Sounds like there were some classless @alabamafbl fans projecting hate toward the @texasfootball team Saturday night.
 #wnbaplayoffs are off and running. @nyliberty host @washmystics @barclayscenter tomorrow night.  We all want to see #breannastewart vs @aja22wilson @lvaces in the #wnbafinals but first have to play the games.  
Congrats again @cocogauff on winning @usopen and having the largest audience for a #womensmajorchampionship all time. 
He’s a hell of a talent #ronaldacuñajr but not a fan of his showboating on the field. @braves sixth straight #aleast title.  Now blow it in the #mlbplayoffs & take @partylikearochkind @astros with you. 
#jassondomínguez good luck with #tommyjohnsurgery it was an exciting eight game stint with the @yankees this year.  The future looks so bright.
