Shohei Ohtani just owned the Yankees on Monday night. At this rate, he’s on the path to own them financially as well.
During the seventh inning with his team down 3-1, Shohei Ohtani stepped to the plate against a Yankees pitcher named Michael King who for some reason was ordered to pitch against the star Japanese player in the latest questionable decision by manager Aaron Boone.
The result? A bomb and a bat flip followed by a fist pump by Ohtani that was the equivalent of spitting in the Yankees fan face, adding insult to [Aaron Judge’s] injury as the Yankees just can’t catch a break.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who has won six Super Bowls in New England as the franchise’s head coach and two more as an assistant with the Giants, is reportedly on the hot seat heading into the 2023 season. The comments, along with an interesting tidbit on just how long Belichick has been on the hot seat, came from Patriots beat writer Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston.
“He’s on the hot seat, and he’s been there on different levels of warmth since 2019,” Curran told The Rich Eisen Show on Monday.

Isiah Thomas has his early pick for next year’s NBA champions, and it is the Boston Celtics.
That choice, of course, is subject to change. But Thomas likes the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, especially considering the Celtics did not have to part with either Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown.
“Maybe Porzingis is the missing piece,” says Thomas. “They have all the pieces, and should be favored to win it all.”
There is connective tissue between the Celtics and Thomas’ Detroit Pistons.
Draymond Green made waves during his recent interview with Trae Young, while the Hawks star grabbed plenty of attention as well for numerous interesting opinions surrounding the NBA.
While the two sat down for an episode of The Draymond Green Show at the Uninterrupted Film Festival, one interesting topic was Young’s status as an NBA “villain,” specifically to Knicks fans.
Baseball can be a game of luck. A hard-hit ball can go right into a defender’s glove. A bounce off a clod of dirt can send a grounder through a hole. Or a player can go crashing to the ground out of nowhere because his bat ricocheted the wrong way.
That’s what happened to Twins outfielder Max Kepler against the Mariners on Monday night. In the top of the fourth, he hit a line drive into the right field corner that under normal circumstances would be easy double.
But these weren’t normal circumstances.
NASHVILLE — There is no denying that Vanderbilt football is at a disadvantage in the Southeastern Conference. Although the Commodores have found success in the past, it is an uphill battle and always will be.
The resources at Vanderbilt in terms of alumni support and booster engagement is not on the same level as the Georgias, Alabamas, and Auburns of the college football world. Period.
That puts the Commodores in a tricky spot. It’s not to say that there isn’t any cash flow in Nashville. The program is currently undergoing a significant renovation to its stadium and facilities.
NASHVILLE — Georgia coach Kirby Smart met with reporters Tuesday morning at SEC Media Days. Smart was prepared for questions about former Bulldogs tight end Darnell Washington and Tennessee.
According to a recent report, Washington was paid by former Tennessee assistant coach Brian Niedermeyer. During the investigation into the Vols football program, it was uncovered that Darnell Washington had $750 delivered to him in Las Vegas by Niedermeyer.
Charlotte Hornets rookie Brandon Miller says he has no regrets about having spewed some trash at Michael Jordan.
Yes, that same Michael Jordan that owned that team that drafted Miller and is the best player to ever lace up a pair of sneakers and step on an NBA court.
Before the draft, Miller was at a workout with the Hornets and there MJ just so happened to airball a free throw. Hey, it happens.
However, Miller called him out for it, which would be like calling out the late, great Eddie Van Halen for muffing a note while playing “Eruption.
Mookie Betts had been asking for years, but his bosses said no so many times that he stopped expecting a yes.
So when Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told him this spring that nine years into a reluctant career as an outfielder, Betts could become an infielder again, he was briefly unsure how to feel. He quickly settled on elation.
He is happier this season than he has been in years, he says. “Not on purpose!” he adds. “It just kind of happened.”
The people around him have noticed. His old friend J.D.
