The University of Tennessee is thinking big when it comes to the future of college sports. The school announced on Wednesday that it is exploring plans to build an entertainment district around Neyland Stadium and Thompson-Boiling Arena.
So what is Tennessee actually thinking about when it comes to this idea? The school is looking at building a 12-story boutique hotel that overlooks Neyland Stadium. In addition to the hotel, the school wants to build an entertainment district, filled with restaurants and retail shops.
As the drama between the Blue Jays and Yankees continues to stew, it’s time to pause and take stock of all we’ve seen here so far. Seem familiar? It should. It’s been something right out of reality television. The memes? The dugout quips? The pettiness over base coach positioning? The Bachelor’s producers can only wish they had this kind of material.
Now for a rundown of the relevant tropes:
1. Something Innocuous Blows Up
The central drama cannot be anything too serious; putting real stakes to it will undermine the whole thing. It has to be a little bit silly.
Tons and tons of mail this week. So let’s waste no time ….
From Edgar Eduardo Tejada (@edgaretejada): What’s the latest on the @49ers QB situation?
Edgar, we should have more information soon. I know the 49ers have had early-to-mid June (maybe a week before their mandatory minicamp, maybe the week before it) circled as to when they’ll be able to put a more firm timetable on Brock Purdy’s recovery.
A busy offseason for Deion Sanders rolls on with a customized Ford F-650
Ever since becoming the head coach of at Colorado, Deion Sanders has made a number of additions. The bulk of those have come through the transfer portal and, when combined with incoming freshman, the Buffaloes added almost an entire new roster. Among the additions include Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, who played under Sanders at Jackson State.
Here’s how to watch Saturday’s Dern vs. Hill UFC Fight Night.
It’s a lush time for Tennessee sports, relative to the recent past. The Volunteers went 11–2 in football, their best record since 2001, and won the Orange Bowl. The men’s basketball and women’s basketball teams both reached the Sweet 16.
With these accomplishments in mind and revenue in college sports at historic heights, Tennessee is reportedly kicking around an unprecedented architectural project.
Aces coach Becky Hammon has denied any wrongdoing in connection to a WNBA investigation looking into the mistreatment of former player Dearica Hamby.
Hammon’s two-game suspension without pay came after the league looked into Hamby’s allegations that her pregnancy negatively impacted her status with Las Vegas and led to bullying. Hamby and a 2024 first-round pick were traded to the Sparks in January for a 2024 second-round pick and the rights to Amanda Zahui B.
“I’ll take my little lump on the chin and keep it moving,” Hammon said when asked about the suspension.
One of the great side plots of any baseball game is the relationship between the players and the umpires. I think I’m uniquely qualified to discuss this, as I umpire high school baseball during the summer. The exchange between Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch and home plate umpire Nic Lentz on Wednesday afternoon is one of the better ones you’ll hear.
Following the strikeout of Tigers batter Eric Haase, Haase stopped to say something to Lentz. It’s unclear what Haase said to Lentz, but Lentz clearly responds, “I’m not perfect back here, you know I’m not.
RUN, YOU BEAUTIFUL OLD MEN, RUN!
Two of baseball’s elder statesmen found themselves in a footrace on Thursday afternoon and it was the slowest, most compelling sprint of all time.

It was a case of age before beauty as Rich Hill (43) edged out Miguel Cabrera (40). Sure, technically the scorecard will show that Cabrera was out at first, but both men were truly winners.
