“I was choked unconscious,” the ESPN host and WWE Raw commentator explained at the start of his The Pat McAfee Show, before adding that he went to a Las Vegas hospital afterward to get checked on before being released a short while after.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Virginia safety Jonas Sanker took a somewhat unconventional path to this week’s NFL draft.
He initially drew the interest of college scouts while playing high school basketball in Charlottesville, Virginia, but then emerged as a star in eight-man football.
Sanker’s rapid ascension from fast-break-style prep games to college captain to the cusp of a pro career sounds more like Hollywood, but Sanker has made it this far with hard work.
Missouri added more competition to the offensive line group.
Florida State transfer offensive lineman Jaylen Early committed to the Tigers after his Monday visit. The 6-foot-4, 297-pound redshirt junior entered the spring portal window with two years of eligibility remaining.
Early showed his versatility this past season, playing right tackle, left tackle and right guard as the Seminoles started nine different combinations on the offensive line looking for a solution.
In each of their first two seasons under head coach DeMeco Ryans and with C.J. Stroud at QB, the Texans have won the AFC South and a Wild Card game before losing in the Divisional Round. However, the team fired OC Bobby Slowik and named Nick Caley as the new offensive coordinator to try and get Stroud back on track in Year 3.
Houston has rebuilt through the draft in recent years. In 2022, the Texans drafted the likes of Derek Stingley Jr., Kenyon Green, and Jalen Pitre.

Even at almost 50, having not played a match in more than three months, and never with this cue, Ronnie O’Sullivan was able to snatch an overnight lead on his World Championship comeback.
There were only flashes of the seven-time champion’s vintage best as he ended the opening session of his first-round contest against Ali Carter 5-4 up.
Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan answered the question on Tuesday before it was asked.
“I know you’re going to ask about the quarterback position,” Khan said during the team’s pre-draft press conference. “I’ll just tell you guys the same thing we discussed in Palm Beach [at the NFL annual meetings] a couple of weeks ago. We go to camp with four quarterbacks. Right now, we have two on the roster. And all options are on the table on how we acquire the last two. I assure you we’ll have four when we get to [training camp at] Latrobe.
We’ve reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and that means, with so many extra eyes on games, teams are pulling out all the stops even when it comes to pregame festivities, including who they can get to perform the National Anthem.
The Los Angeles Kings have set the bar exceedingly high with their anthem performer choice for Game 1 of their series against the Edmonton Oilers (by the way, this is the fourth-straight year the first round included an edition of the Gretzky Bowl).

Great regular seasons don’t cement NBA legacies. Great playoff runs do. These six stars — featuring one MVP and a likely one — need a deep playoff run to secure their place in the game.
