    Don’t let Coco Gauff have a sniff of victory. Don’t get in a situation where a match becomes about more than just the tennis. Don’t open the door even a little bit for her to knock down. Because if you’re on the other side of the net against this special 21-year old from Atlanta via Delray Beach, Florida, and there’s a big trophy on the line, there might not be anybody in sports mentally tougher or better prepared for the ugliness of a true battle.

    Don’t think about the House vs. NCAA settlement as an instant cure for all of the issues disrupting, and in some cases swallowing, schools at the top level of college sports.

    If the impending NBA Finals matchup of the league’s 23rd and 27th-ranked media markets is supposed to spell doom for the league, it is a doom the NBA’s owners intentionally brought on themselves.

They will be replaying Simone’s achievements at every Olympics until the end of time. She will be fine.

@DanWolken It’s unfortunate Simone biles even acknowledged her. Her entire career is based on hate and Biles took the bait.

If you apologize and try to be civil with bad people who have no intention of being civil, you will get burned.

Gaines: I accept her apology and see this as a really big win. You have this famous public figure now issuing a groveling public apology and backtracks after tweeting pro-trans propaganda, if you will. https://t.co/RVE34hiYEK
