They’re fun. Regardless of trades and endgames.
The current No. 2 seed in the NBA’s Western Conference most certainly is not supposed to be there. Because they’re not even supposed to have a winning record, if you’re going by historical precedent or the preseason betting market.
And yet, less than a month until the NBA Playoffs get underway, the Sacramento Kings find themselves in an uncommon position – among the very best teams in the league.

Everybody is angry, NASCAR is no longer in a forgiving mood, there’s no respect in the garage and all of Hendrick Motorsports is on an unpaid vacation.
And they said spring was the season of hope and optimism!
What a week of tension in the NASCAR world. From Denny Hamlin basically incriminating himself in the name of ratings, to Kyle Busch trashing everyone in the garage, to NASCAR dropping the hammer on its winningest team, it was a doozy.

It’s one heck of a time to be an OKC fan.
Here is a hot take for you: The NBA season gets better the later it goes. The standings get tighter just as the postseason picture becomes more apparent.

More top seeds have fallen — who’s stepped into their place for the second weekend of the men’s NCAA tournament?
MLB fans loved seeing this.
While the World Baseball Classic has been all the rage the past few weeks, there still have been MLB spring training games going on, and we’ve been able to see some pretty cool things so far, including one of the most embarrassing swinging strikes of the year.
It happened Sunday in a Cardinals–Mets game in Port St. Lucie, Fla., when Tylor Megill threw some high heat inside on Óscar Mercado. The Cardinals center fielder committed to swinging and just couldn’t stop himself.
How’d that go for him? Not well at all.

Dan Snyder doing Dan Snyder things.
The Washington Commanders saga is drawing closer to the finish line. Reports emerged over the weekend that owner Dan Snyder had cleared out much of his personal office at the team facility, foreshadowing a sale of the team might be imminent. Now new details have surfaced about just how colossally cheap Snyder is being on his way out the door.
The C.J. Gardner-Johnson news was a bummer for Eagles fans, but his agency took things to a whole new level on Sunday evening.
