Scott Foster doesn’t overturn his own calls unless they are egregious. This is why the refs on the floor should not be involved in reviews.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

They cant guard butler.

GSW would be winning this series 4-1 if curry was playing.

I hate the way we're guarding Butler. We're giving him really easy driving angles.

Even some of the "newer" ones I would put over him (Griffey, Pujols, etc.)

Griffey or Pujols over Bonds is crazy talk. I'm a Cardinals fan too.


Without roids Bonds doesn't have near the numbers he does, hard to judge conclusively.

Bonds before he started juicing (86-98): 164 OPS+, 99.9 bWAR, 411 homers, 445 steals.

I think Legs is my favorite broadcaster atm.
He’s not particularly charismatic or entertaining, but just keeps it about basketball, which I appreciate greatly.
It actually stands out a lot in the current sports media environment.

Edwards completely ignored the guy open in the corner.
