So much of fantasy football revolves around who your QB1 or WR2 is. But it’s the players you can’t draft, offensive linemen, that foretell success.

ESPN personality Sam Ponder is facing criticism for a tweet in which she called for “fairness” in girls sports in response to a tweet about transgender athletes competing in high school sports.
Ponder quote tweeted Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer who has used her platform to speak out against transgender women competing in women’s sports. Gaines’s original tweet showed text messages she received from girls and fathers in California who were upset over transgender girls being included in high school track and field competitions.
Deion Sanders wants Colorado players to know they don’t have to go to the NFL in order to get rich.
Sanders made millions of dollars playing in the NFL and has earned a decent amount of cash off the field as well. However, he doesn’t think the only way for young athletes to be successful is to get drafted into the NFL.
He made that point crystal clear during a team meeting with his newly assembled roster following massive cuts.
The Celtics are on the verge of becoming the first team in NBA history to win a series after trailing 3–0 following an unreal Game 6 win Saturday night against the Heat. And they’re doing it with the support of a former Red Sox star.
Former Boston outfielder Johnny Damon was seen at the Kaseya Center in Miami sporting his 2004 World Series ring to support the Boston squad during Game 6. That ’04 Red Sox team is the only squad in MLB history to win a series after trailing 0–3, and Damon addressed the comparisons between the two teams after Boston won Saturday, 104–103.
The Bulls privately believe that Lonzo Ball’s playing days are over due to lingering knee issues, according to 670 The Score’s Dan Bernstein. While co-hosting the Organizations Win Championships podcast, Bernstein reported that the team fears the worst in regard to the former lottery draft pick’s ailing left knee.
“The other thing I heard is even though publicly there has been an expression of guarded optimism regarding a future for Lonzo Ball,” Bernstein said.
Liam Hendriks announced in January that he was beginning cancer treatment after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Fast-forward just five months, and the three-time All-Star is heading back to the bigs and re-joining the Chicago White Sox.
Chicago shared an emotional tribute video on social media announcing that Hendriks had officially been added to the active roster on Sunday.
A number of different players and coaches within the organization shared heartfelt messages for the 34-year-old’s return to the bump.
Your journey is an inspiration. We couldn’t be more proud.

Winners and losers from the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix
It was a longshot that Sunday’s 2023 Monaco Grand Prix would live up to the thrilling qualifying session that came down to the wire. However, thanks to a brief flash of rain late in the Grand Prix itself, a few thrilling moments were in the offing.
The end result, however, what in line with everything else we have seen this F1 season: Max Verstappen at the front, and everyone trying — and failing — to catch up.
Greg Solhaug, a junior at Oregon, had his national championship cut short after stepping on a wooden tee and impaling his foot. Talk about an absolute freak injury that couldn’t have come at a worse time.
First reported by Golfweek and later confirmed by the school, Solhaug was standing on a tee box, took a step, and planted his foot on a tee that went through the bottom of his shoe and impaled his foot. Walking on a foot that was just punctured by a tee wasn’t really an option, and Solhaugh withdrew from the championship.
So, what actor and actress will storm the court after the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat in Game 7 Monday to win the NBA Eastern Conference Finals after trailing 3-0?
Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon did that in St. Louis’ Busch Stadium on Oct. 27, 2004, for the movie “Fever Pitch,” seconds after the Boston Red Sox swept the Cardinals in the World Series. Six days before that, Boston became the first Major League Baseball team in history to come all the way back from a 3-0 deficit in the playoffs and win a series.
To Kevin O’Connell’s left, out a window and over a set of practice fields, there is a set of apartment complexes. One is done, and some of the coach’s younger Vikings colleagues live in it. Another is visible but not done, with the siding still not up and plenty of finishes left to be completed. All of it is part of the vision O’Connell’s bosses, the Wilfs (real-estate developers by trade), have for building around the team’s palatial headquarters.
