NOBODY should watch ‘The Town’ four times in a week, and I’m living proof.
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla loves The Town. Like, he really, really loves The Town. He loves The Town much that he watches The Town four times a week to put him in a “Boston mindset.”

I’m sorry that I’ve said The Town so much already, but I can’t stop thinking about The Town.

It’s always hard to keep a Super Bowl-winning team completely intact. The Chiefs know this well, winning championships to end the 2019 and ’22 seasons. 
Among those impactful losses this offseason, after Kansas City captured Super Bowl LVII, is offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. The close friend of Patrick Mahomes, who spent the last two seasons protecting the star quarterback, left in free agency and signed with the Bengals, one of the Chiefs’ AFC rivals in recent seasons.

After a topsy-turvy weekend of regionals—including a historic comeback for No. 7 Washington and a roller-coaster victory for unseeded Louisiana—get ready for more college softball. The super regionals begin Thursday at 7 p.m. ET with No. 3 Florida State taking on No. 14 Georgia, and by the end of the weekend, we’ll know the field for the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City.
Here are five of the biggest story lines to watch.
No. 1 Oklahoma looks as terrifying as ever …
This one’s hardly a surprise. But it’s still worth saying: No.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton dismissed speculation about a future with Ferrari ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix
Speaking at Thursday’s press conferences ahead of the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton brushed aside reports of communication with Ferrari, and outlined that negotiations on a new contract with Mercedes are close to being finalized.
“Naturally when you’re in contract negotiations there’s always going to be speculation,” he said Thursday. “Ultimately, unless you hear it from me, that’s what it is.

The Celtics staved off elimination Tuesday night but still trail the Heat 3–1 as the Eastern Conference Finals shifts back to Boston.
Miami won both games at TD Garden last week to take a commanding 2–0 lead and is in position to close the series out in Game 5. The Nuggets already punched their ticket to their first-ever NBA Finals with their win over the Lakers on Monday and now the title favorites are awaiting their opponent.
The Celtics are once again sizable favorites against the Heat, a position that has not worked out well so far in this matchup. As favorites of 8.

The 2023 Men’s French Open gets underway this weekend, and here is the bracket, how to watch, and more
The 2023 French Open is set to get underway this weekend from at Stade Roland Garros in Paris.
On the men’s side, two of the sport’s biggest names will be absent this week, but there is no shortage of talent in the field.
Defending champion Rafael Nadal announced earlier this month that he was withdrawing due to a lingering hip injury.

Michael Block is rightfully flying high after putting on a four-day show at the PGA Championship last week, but he’s flying a bit too close to the sun with his latest take involving Rory McIlroy.
Block, a PGA club pro in California, stole the show at Oak Hill last week while finishing T-15 and earning an exemption into next year’s PGA Championship. His week included a live interview with Scott Van Pelt and ESPN during the first round, playing alongside Justin Rose on Saturday, and then teeing it up with McIlroy on Sunday and making a hole-in-one on the Par 3 15th.

Cleveland Browns fans can vote on the team’s “Browns Dawg” logo beginning Tuesday.

Following the Lakers’ exit from the NBA playoffs, one of the biggest draft busts in league history eviscerated LeBron James on social media for his lack of killer instinct down the stretch in Los Angeles’ Game 4 loss to Denver.
That’s right, Kwame Brown had something to say about it. The play in question came at the end of regulation when James was double-teamed by Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon and had his shot blocked as time expired.
“You are a stat sheet junkie,” Brown began. “You’re a bad boy when it comes to stats.

The 2023 Women’s French Open gets underway this weekend, and here is the bracket, how to watch, and more
Tennis fans could see a wide-open women’s bracket at the 2023 French Open.
Defending champion and world No. 1 Iga Swiatek is looking to become the first back-to-back champion at Roland-Garros in 16 years, but has dealt with some injuries this season. She withdrew from the Miami Open in March with a rib injury, and then a thigh injury caused an early exit from the Italian Open.
World No.
