1. There are certain eras and trends in sports history that hold a special place in the hearts of fans.
One such era is the early 2000s, when NBA draft hopefuls wore suits eight sizes too big for the draft.
Justin Bieber spread those vibes in a big way (no pun intended) with his Grammy Awards outfit last night.
Twitter couldn’t help but remember those NBA drafts when they saw Bieber’s costume.
Bieber’s look has also led to other sports references.
Bieber changed his costume for his performance of Peaches.
2. Sure, Saturday’s Duke-North Carolina game was a classic, but the best moment came from CBS analyst Bill Raftery.
Another highlight that had nothing to do with gambling was Charles Barkley getting into the “YMCA”.
3. It looks like the final viewership for Duke – North Carolina will be around 18 million viewers, which is huge for cable. It’s also less than a 4:25 NFL game on Sunday in the regular season, just for perspective.
4. Dear Aaron Judge, please get an autograph from this fan by any means necessary.
5. Darren Rovell takes a lot of s— on Twitter, but you can’t tell he doesn’t put himself out there and work for every retweet, like and comment.
