Hi, Jon,
Fábián Marozsán’s straight-set defeat of Carlos Alcaraz was stunning. Coming into the Italian Open, Marozsán had never been in the main draw of an ATP event. He had lost five of his last six challenger circuit matches, had survived the first round of qualifying with a 7–5 third set and had overcome Jiri Lehecka in the round of 64 after trailing 4–2 in a decisive tiebreaker. Alcaraz had won 12 straight matches, looking particularly dominant on clay.

As we move toward the closest thing the NFL has to a true offseason, I thought it would be a good time to separate some fact from fiction about that amorphous thing called the salary cap. There is nothing in the massive machine of NFL information and coverage that is more misrepresented, misdiagnosed and often misinformed than discussion around the cap. Let’s examine what it is and, more importantly, what it isn’t through a few myths, with the theme being: It’s the cash, stupid, not the cap.
Myth No. 1: Cap matters as much as, or even more than, cash
No.
The NFC East is loaded, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if all four teams make the postseason in 2023.
But there are levels, and the Eagles’ and Cowboys’ talented rosters signify it might be a two-team race for the division title.
Having proven quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott certainly helps those two teams maintain competitive rosters, but the Giants made many notable offseason moves (including the deal with Daniel Jones) that should keep them in the mix for the division crown.
Since joining LIV Golf last year, Talor Gooch has earned over $20 million, with a large chunk of his sizable earnings coming from his back-to-back wins earlier this season. While there is no arguing that Gooch has earned life-changing money in an incredibly short period of time, Matt Wallace doesn’t believe that makes his jump to the Saudi-backed circuit justified.
Wallace, who has one PGA Tour victory to his name, recently spoke out about the narrative that LIV players’ (guaranteed) paydays don’t make a move to the rival tour the right one.

Citing safety concerns due to weather and flooding, F1 has canceled the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
Formula 1 announced on Wednesday morning the cancellation of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
The region around Imola in northern Italy has been battered by heavy rain and flooding in recent days. The track was evacuated for a period of time on Tuesday due to concerns regarding flooding, and a few Alpine team members were force to change hotels due to flooding concerns.
Sauce Gardner entered the NFL as the flashy cornerback from Cincinnati boasting about not allowing a single touchdown during three college seasons and referring to himself as the “Chosen One.”
Gardner enjoys the spotlight and quickly displayed he thrived under it. The Jets’ No. 4 pick in the 2022 draft delivered a historic rookie season en route to being named the Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Many years might go by before another defensive rookie matches the high expectations Gardner exceeded last season.
The days of NFL fans complaining about the NFC East hogging the prime-time schedule might be over with a loaded group of teams heading into the 2023 season.
The Eagles and Cowboys will be fun to watch after the offseason moves they made to maintain talented rosters. Philadelphia prioritized the draft, while Dallas visited the trading block.
Expect the Giants to be in the race for the division title after making several impressive offseason moves, including a promising draft class and a new cast of pass catchers for quarterback Daniel Jones.
Morons on Twitter aren’t happy Malika Andrews did her job and asked NBA commissioner Adam Silver about Ja Morant.
The Memphis Grizzlies star is currently suspended after he flashed a gun during an Instagram livestream. At one point, it appeared the barrel of the gun might have even been pointed at his head. It was just the latest off-the-court incident for the young NBA star.

After the Lakers made a valiant effort to put themselves in position to steal a Game 1 win in Denver, it was LeBron James who failed to deliver.
Arizona State AD Ray Anderson apparently has complete confidence the PAC-12 will survive.
The PAC-12 continues to hunt for a new media deal, and the lack of an agreement and guaranteed payday for conference members is one of the biggest stories in college sports.
With every day that passes without a deal, schools will wonder more and more if there’s more security elsewhere.
Well, Anderson isn’t sweating, despite the fact no deal has been reached and it’s past the middle of May.
