He’s the greatest Twitter user of all-time.
There are moments in everyone’s life as a sports fan where you realize that you’re watching greatness. LeBron James scoring 25 straight points against the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, Patrick Mahomes throwing six touchdowns against the Steelers in 2018, Shohei Ohtani…well…being Shohei Ohtani.

Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard has been mentioned in trade rumors more frequently this offseason than any in his 11-year career. Most link him to the Heat, a team in need of backcourt help to take the next steps after winning the Eastern Conference title.
Lillard, usually quick to spell out his intense loyalty to Portland, has done little to dissolve these rumors—and in fact may have stoked them even more Friday night.
All the ways to stream MLB games this weekend without shelling out for the sports package.
THIBODAUX, La. — Before Sean Payton flashed that orange tie clue on FOX’s pregame show last Jan. 29 that he would be Denver’s next coach officially within a week, Peyton Manning knew.
“Yeah, I might have, kind of known a little bit what was going on,” Manning said with a wink as laughter broke at the Manning Passing Academy Media Day Friday at Nicholls State University.
Manning lives in Denver, where he ended his Pro Football Hall of Fame career with a Super Bowl 50 victory over Carolina in Santa Clara, California, in the 2015 season.
On Friday night, veteran SportsCenter anchor Neil Everett aired his final broadcast for ESPN, as he is leaving the network after 23 years. The decision is in part because of downsizing by the network, but it still means saying goodbye to such a familiar face.
Everett started at ESPN in 2000 and became a pivotal part of the network’s Los Angeles SportsCenter in 2009. Everett worked with Stan Verrett out West, and the two ended up as the faces of the late-night SportsCenter show from Los Angeles.
Mets third baseman Eduardo Escobar was traded to the Angels on Friday night in a deal that lands New York pitching prospects Coleman Crow and Landon Marceaux.
The 34-year-old Escobar has been playing on a part-time basis after an early season slump and the promotion of top prospect Brett Baty. Since Baty’s promotion though, Escobar is hitting .323 in 67 plate appearances.
The trade was unexpected for the Mets, especially for star shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was interviewed mid-game against the Phillies on Apple TV+ and discussed the impending departure of his teammate.
The Cincinnati Reds won their 12th straight game in a row on Friday and don’t look now, but they are baseball’s hottest team.
Yes, the Reds – who just two months ago couldn’t even bring in over 8,000 fans to their Great American Ball Park, are now selling out crowds of over 43,000. And they can thank Elly De La Cruz for it.
The 21-year-old prospect has been an absolute sensation for a sport that is desperate to connect with the younger generation.
After the Knicks, the Dunk of Death and his son’s autism diagnosis, the 1999 first-round pick didn’t know if he’d ever love himself, his family and his sport.
A Kansas City prosecutor dismissed the misdemeanor assault charge against Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams stemming from him shoving a video production crew member at Arrowhead Stadium last season, Benita Jones, a spokeswoman for the Kansas City Municipal Court told The Kansas City Star on Friday.
The charge was officially dismissed on June 5 and the case is now considered closed.
The altercation between Adams and Paul Zebley, the video production crew member, occurred after a 30–29 loss to the Chiefs on Monday Night Football.
Dan Le Batard cites whiteness for Craig Carton’s employment at FS1.
Carton announced last week he would depart WFAN radio to focus fully on his morning television show.
Le Batard criticized FS1 for the casting, citing Carton’s time in prison for securities and wire fraud.
“I want to make that clear on the front end that I don’t want to rip a guy who had a gambling problem, who is a convicted felon for having a gambling problem,” Le Batard began.
Well, then he began to rip a guy who had a gambling problem.
