Pat McAfee couldn’t foresee his audience hating the move to ESPN … really?
As McAfee’s eponymous show transitions to becoming part of the Worldwide Leader in Woke, the ex-NFL player wonders why so many people are mad at the move.

After all, for a show that prides itself in saying whatever the (eff) they want on the radio, moving to one of the most censored platforms in sports perhaps doesn’t come off as the brightest idea.
But money talks.

The Steelers are finalizing a two-year extension with the former No. 2 overall pick, a source confirmed to ESPN.

Formula 1 is continuing its push to expand its footprint in the United States, and plans on opening some F1 Arcades.
Formula 1 announced plans to open its first F1 Arcade US location in Boston. It’s slated to open its doors in early 2024. It’s the first of 20 locations Formula 1 hopes to open in the US over the next five years.

Coming to America… F1 Arcade #F1

There’s already an F1 Arcade location in London, which opened last year. That has reportedly been a big success.

Auburn University has issued suspensions for an unknown amount of people who are allegedly involved in a video that appears to show junior running back Jarquez Hunter engaging in explicit activities. The indefinite suspensions came from the school, not the athletic department, which should be noted.
It all started over the last 48 hours, when multiple videos made the rounds on social media that allegedly showed Hunter engaged in sexual activities.
“We are aware of the situation and takes this matter very seriously,” Auburn announced.

Heat coach Eric Spoelstra praised the NBA’s play-in tournament as he discussed the journey that prepared Miami for its playoff run that has led it to lead the Celtics 1–0 in the Eastern Conference finals.
After the Heat’s 46-point third quarter that fueled their 123-116 victory against Boston on Wednesday night, Spoelstra commended the play-in games as a means of limiting late-season tanking.
“I do know the play-in helped,” Spoelstra told reporters. “There are far less teams tanking. Everyone was fighting for it those last two months. Every game was must-see TV.

Steelers fans were given a scare when star linebacker T.J. Watt posted a security video of him slipping and losing his balance while attempting to clean his pool. The five-time Pro Bowl talent fell awkwardly into the shallow end. 
The 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and leader of Pittsburgh’s dominant pass rush thankfully was able to avoid serious injury and find some humor in the incident.
“Warning.. The activity in this video may be dangerous… don’t try at home.. (I am completely ok 😂),” he wrote on Twitter.

LeBron James’ youngest son, Bryce, is set to finish out his high school career at Campbell Hall. According to Myron Medcalf of ESPN, he is leaving Sierra Canyon after two years playing alongside his brother, Bronny.
Bryce, a Class of 2025 recruit, may be better than his older brother when it is all said and done. The 15-year-old stands 6-foot-6 and spent last season on the varsity team after playing J.V. as a freshman.
He most recently made his Nike Elite Youth Basketball League debut with Team SFG and put on a show.

Gardner Minshew isn’t an “ego” guy at the QB position.
With a mean mustache and the evergreen counsel of Mike Leach, Minshew remains not just one of the best backup QBs in the league but one of the most confident.
So when Indianapolis brings in Anthony Richardson out of Florida with the fourth pick, Minshew’s main objective turns to elevating the QB room rather than tearing it down out now that he’s got competition in house.

Erik Spoelstra reiterated just how important he felt the regular season was in forming the mental toughness that has helped steer the Heat to within three games of an NBA Finals appearance. He also noted the importance of the NBA’s play-in tournament.

Rory McIlroy overcame a rough start Thursday to card a 1-over 71 in the opening round of the PGA Championship and remain within striking distance of the leaders.
