Video went viral after an Athletics fan began chirping away at Rendon and others after the A’s defeated the Angels 2-1. Most of the Angels players just meandered their way back through the dugout. But Rendon wasn’t having any of it after one fan called him a “bitch.

Nikola Jokic can’t be stopped.
The first sequence of Denver’s 104-93 victory over Miami in Game 1 of the 2023 NBA Finals foreshadowed things to come— Jamal Murray drove to the basket for two, Max Strus missed a response mid-ranger, Jimmy Butler scored on a second chance baseline jumper, then Nikola Jokic had a hand in four of Denver’s next six points.

Glenn “Shemy” Schembechler, the son of legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler, resigned from his position as assistant director of football recruiting with the Wolverines last month after his social media revealed Schembechler “liking” racist tweets.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh spoke with reporters at a football camp at Wayne State University on Thursday and cited an error in the vetting process regarding the hire.
“Once I became aware of things that were offensive—offensive to me, offensive to other members of our team—[we acted],” Harbaugh said.

Shannon Sharpe’s expected exit from Undisputed on FS1 has made waves in the sports media industry, as the former tight end has been on the network since 2016. While the reasoning for his departure isn’t public, many believe it’s because Sharpe has had enough working with personality Skip Bayless.
On social media, Sharpe did not temper that idea with his Twitter likes, instead seemingly fanning the flames that he believes he is the better part of the show.

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I scored as many points in Game 1 of the NBA Finals as Max Strus did.

Nikola Jokić proved again last night that he’s been the best player in the NBA this postseason.

Detroit and Jacksonville, who are among the worst teams historically, are favored to win their respective division titles.

Jim Harbaugh believes poor social media vetting is largely responsible for the Shemy Schembechler disaster.

A U.S. women’s soccer team made up of former players took on a Wrexham men’s squad in The Soccer Tournament (TST) and were embarrassed by the score of 12-0.
The Wrexham team was made up of former, current, and guest players. The U.S. side featured many former USWNT players such as Heather O’Reilly and Lori Lindsey. Mia Hamm was on the sideline managing the U.S. team.

TNT’s Inside the NBA team is working the NBA Finals for NBA TV, which means there’s plenty more opportunity for hilarity amongst the cast.
Charles Barkley, who is no stranger to poking fun at other media personalities, appeared to take a shot across the bow at Shannon Sharpe’s reported buyout from FS1’s Undisputed, which he hosts with Skip Bayless.
Barkley, who has said on numerous occasions that he’s no fan of Bayless, couldn’t help but relish (albeit indirectly) in the reported news that Sharpe would be leaving Bayless high and dry after the NBA Finals.

Boxer Gervonta Davis was taken into custody Thursday and will serve the remainder of his three-month sentence for a hit-and-run in a Baltimore jail, according to a report from Justin Fenton of The Baltimore Banner.
Davis, who was sentenced May 5 for a 2020 hit-and-run crash that injured four people, was ordered to serve 90 days house arrest at the home of his trainer, Calvin Ford.
