There’s a reason that many people refer to the lead-up to the NFL Draft as the “silly season.” Things change almost daily. Tons of information comes flying in, some of it true, some of it not. In a perfect example, Bryce Young has completely flipped with C.J. Stroud as the betting favorite for #1 overall.

New Jersey Devils fans look primed and ready for their team to make a postseason run. I mean they’re moshing on the concourse like it’s a Cannibal Corpse concert.
A TikTok user posted a video of a band performing on what looks to be the Prudential Center Concourse and, man, these fans were feeling it.
I haven’t seen Devils fans supporting the team like this since David Puddy painted his face.
Ja Morant was sued in September 2022 by 17-year-old Joshua Holloway after the teenager accused the NBA star of punching him and later intimidating him with a gun following an altercation during a pickup game that summer.
Now, Morant has filed a countersuit against Holloway, according to The Daily Memphian.
Court filings show that Morant believes he is “the victim of slander, battery and assault” after the alleged fight that took place at his home.
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. couldn’t have placed a foul ball any better.
During the 7th inning of Wednesday’s blowout Royals win, Witt came to the plate against Texas Rangers reliever Taylor Hearn.
Witt fouled off the pitch off, sending it down the right field side of Globe Life Field.

Washington Commanders owners Dan and Tanya Snyder are near a deal to sell the storied NFL franchise, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
There are a lot of negative conversations surrounding Name, Image and Likeness and how it has “ruined” college football, but Caden Costa is silencing those narratives. The Ole Miss kicker recently launched a crowdfunding campaign, through NIL, to help veterans.
Costa, a sophomore, is using his platform to give back with help from Champsraise. He is raising money for Darby’s Warrior Support to provide physically and emotionally injured post 9/11 Special Operations Combat veterans with all-inclusive hunting and fishing trips.
The Bears have become an offseason internet meme.

Often times in the sports world, insiders are constantly hearing rumblings and rumors from their network of sources and they’re tasked with vetting out what is legit and what’s not. With there being so many whispers while reporting, journalists will usually never make all the rumors they hear public.
During an interview with The 33rd Team’s Joey Mulinaro, NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport was asked what the “juiciest rumor you’ve heard at the combine” was. Rapoport proceeded to tell a story about what he was hearing when Russell Wilson’s future was up in the air back in 2022.
The Western Conference team with the best odds to win the title is not the top-seeded Nuggets. Nor is it the Grizzlies, the Kings, or even the defending champion Warriors.
The Suns, the fourth seed in the upcoming playoffs, have the best odds of any team in their conference to win their first-ever NBA championship. Though Phoenix stands atop the field, the West is full of contenders, from Denver down to the Lakers, who qualified for the postseason via the play-in tournament Tuesday.
In his 50 years in the profession, Mack Brown has never coached in a professional football league.
But he now believes he may not have to leave the college ranks to get there.
“We’re the NFL. We’re the mini-NFL,” says the 71-year-old Brown, the oldest active FBS head coach who enters his fifth season of his second stint at North Carolina. “It’s just like the NFL. That’s where we are headed. We will never see amateurism again. It’s gone. I hate it. I thought that’s who we are, what college football is.
