Have they asked Cosmo Kramer

A top NFLPA lawyer has retained the same outside counsel used by the Booz Allen whistleblower amidst sending a memo saying an internal corruption probe had been blocked. my story for @awfulannouncing https://t.co/5eouTl8Qcs

Report from @SBJ that Brian Rolapp, arguably the most important NFL exec other than commish, will be new PGA Tour CEO. Another sign that Goodell is not leaving anytime soon

going on @ChrisAmyKMOX in St. Louis to talk college sports. at 10 AM CST

NBC‘s tennis coverage had become a joke. I mean they lost Wimbledon because they were tape delaying finals

Nathan Tidwell @NateTidwell86

@KaplanSportsBiz NBC basically gave up on the French Open. I don't know if Comcast even tried to keep the rights.

TNT obliterated NBCs coverage

Sports Media Watch @paulsen_smw

Whatever ratings show, no question that TNT's French Open debut was a strong showing. Elevated an event NBC was doing *nothing* with.

IMO, TNT hit it out of the Park on the French Open coverage. The current oncourt interview with Darren Cahill, Sinners coach as his player warms up. It’s just awesome. Now if they could only sub Agassi for mcEnroe on commentary.

Lot’s of negative comments about Sabalenka’s post match comments. They do seem classless in one way, on the other hand don’t we want athletes to tell us what they really feel and think. https://t.co/lyHMJpqvZB

American women have now won the first two tennis Slams of the year with Gauff winning the French and Keys the Aussie Open. It's high times for US tennis, though on the male side, the two decade plus long Slamless streak plods along. Still, two men made the quarters in Paris

"The Drive to Survive," copycat trend is coming to pickleball. My story for @awfulannouncing

Also, don’t know if this story was known, but on the desk after the match, they had his 99 finals opponent Andrei Medvedev with him, and Agassi told of the months before that match, he helped convince Medvedev not to quit tennis while they were at a Monte Carlo nightclub

Simon Briggs @simonrbriggs

@KaplanSportsBiz what was his take? before the injury, I mean

He was just very precise and insightful in his commentary, pointing things out that might not be apparent to the average viewer, like Alcaraz’s court placement on Musetti’s second serve. And he was humble.

@KaplanSportsBiz what was his take? before the injury, I mean

Amazing TV on TNT, Andre Agassi and Andrei Medvedev on set (Agassi beat Medvedev in five sets, coming back from two down to win the '99 French title to complete the career Slam)

agreed he should raise the volume, but just a bit. You don't want the McEnroe effect.

Dan Wolken @DanWolken

Only criticism is that he should raise the volume of his voice a touch - sounds a bit like he’s calling a golf tournament. But the actual commentary is refreshing and not what you’re normally getting in these matches.

Loving the Andre Agassi commentary on Max for the French Open semifinal. Please ESPN, bring him on for Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

Yes and especially if it’s a night match on a show court

Stephanie Myles @StefMylesTennis

@KaplanSportsBiz In some cases, there have been some patches that automatically hook you up if you're on Chatrier (or Arthur Ashe, etc, etc). #Guinot #MaryKohr

She also earned extra euros from the patches you see on her shirt. It’s common when an unknown player makes a run like this, to on the fly sell shirt space to brands.

Lois Boisson’s $785K Cinderella run at the French Open has ended in Thursday's semifinal. The 22-year-old quintupled her career earnings in a Roland Garros run that started with her ranked No. 361 in the world.
