In preparation for a series win, the Canes got some notable TV personalities from New Jersey to record congratulatory messages for “winning” and “moving on.” Judging from most of the pronunciation there was an assumption that “Carolina” was a person, and not a teams.
The initial Caesars win total projections are out.
The NFL schedule is out. Here’s a bold prediction for every team.
All the ways to stream MLB games this weekend without shelling out for the sports package.
NFL schedule release day has become a celebration of the creativity of franchises’ social media departments. The Chargers remain the kings, after their second consecutive year releasing a hilarious, Easter egg-filled anime video. The Titans’ video concept was much simpler, but still incredibly funny.
Tennessee’s interviewed people on tourist-heavy Broadway in Nashville, asking them to identify the teams on their 2023 schedule by logo. Evidently, there were plenty of non-football fans out and about, and the results were absolutely phenomenal.
In August 2022, a total of 11 LIV golfers joined an antitrust lawsuit between the Saudi-backed circuit and the PGA Tour. Today, less than a year later, none of those 11 players’ names are listed on the lawsuit after Bryson DeChambeau and Matt Jones became the last two LIV players to remove their names.
The lawsuit, which was filed exactly 55 days after LIV Golf’s inaugural tournament, came to be after players were suspended by the PGA Tour for joining LIV Golf.
Nikola Jokić can’t play defense. Jamal Murray can’t do it outside of The Bubble. They can’t win on the road. They were terrible down the stretch. The West wasn’t that good this year. They’ll be exposed in the playoffs.

Whether it has to do with the skepticism around Jokić’s two MVPs or faith in bigger names elsewhere, Denver hasn’t exactly been a sexy Finals pick for the last few months.
Women’s wrestling continues to climb to new peaks in the United States.
Mercedes Varnado is wrestling for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Stardom. Trinity Fatu just appeared in Impact. AEW has a superb world champion in Jamie Hayter, as well as a secondary champ in Jade Cargill, and WWE is powered on a weekly basis by superstars like Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley and Bayley. Yet there is still exponential room for growth. Considering that independent wrestling is the heartbeat of the industry, it is only fitting that the next cutting-edge card is Queen of Indies.
Following the Suns’ season-ending blowout loss to the Nuggets in Game 6 on Thursday night, newly-minted Taiwan basketball star Dwight Howard trolled Phoenix point guard Chris Paul, trying to convince the point guard to come play with him overseas.
Howard posted an Instagram reel of a meme that said “If I don’t win the ring with KD, I’m going to Taiwan with Dwight Howard,” which was a fake quote attributed to Paul. Despite the quote being fake, Howard took full advantage of the opportunity to make a half-hearted pitch to the Suns point guard.
