If this feels reminiscent of Tony Hawk landing the 900 back in 1999, it’s because it is. Even cooler is that this happened at Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert in Utah. Even cooler is that it came just days before the anniversary of Hawk dropping the 900 at the X-Games.

The dawn of NBA free agency is hours away. The class is not star-studded, but the ramifications of the pending moves will disrupt the league.

Justin Thomas tried to catch Max Homa off guard during a press conference, but ended up getting burned in the process.
Justin Thomas loves to tease his friends, and Max Homa was his latest target. During Homa’s media period on Wednesday ahead of the Rocket Mortgage Classic, Thomas was in the media tent waiting to speak. Instead, he jumped in and asked Homa a question, which produced quite the moment.
“Hey, man, Justin. I’m playing in the tournament this week.

Former NFL player Cedric Killings has passed away.
The former Houston Texans defensive lineman and NFL journeyman died last week at the age of 45 after battling pancreatic cancer, according to a statement from his alma mater Carson–Newman University.
“Cedric was a fantastic person, player, father, husband, teammate and most importantly, a man of God. We are praying for and grieve with Cedric’s family during this difficult time,” Carson-Newman head football coach and Killings former college football teammate Mike Clowney said in a statement.

The NFL hasn’t yet decided on this year’s Hard Knocks team, not that it matters.
Though four teams — the New York Jets, Washington Commanders, Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints — are eligible to be the subject of this season’s HBO series, all signs suggest Gang Green will land the leading role.
But don’t get too excited. The Big Apple, Big Easy or any of the other potential cities involved with Hard Knocks will surely be replaced by the Big Dud.

Making the right choice can be the difference between winning and losing, both in the National Football League and in the world of fantasy football. Case in point. In the 1999 NFL Draft, Edgerrin James and Ricky Williams were the two unquestioned top running backs in the class. The Colts had a tough decision to make with the fourth overall pick, and they chose James. He went on to win Rookie of the Year, became a four-time Pro Bowler and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020.
The Colts chose wisely.

Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez is dealing with illness ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix
Red Bull driver Sergio Pérez is currently dealing with an illness, just days before the Austrian Grand Prix.
The driver was slated to be available for television interviews on Thursday, but the team stated that Pérez had felt “unwell” on Wednesday night and would not be at the track on Thursday, instead using the day to rest in preparation for this weekend.

The Mets have had a disastrous 2023 season so far and those bad times continued Wednesday night when they lost at home to the Brewers, 5–2. 
Mets manager Buck Showalter wasn’t around to see the end of the game because he was shown the door by the umpires after arguing a questionable call in the top of the eighth inning. 
In case you missed it, Brewers center fielder Joey Wiemer was hit by a pitch, but it also looked like he was swinging the bat at the time and that it should have been called a strike instead.
