LSU star Angel Reese led the Tigers to a national championship in a convincing win over Iowa on Sunday, and she collected the Most Outstanding Player award at the Final Four in Dallas along the way, saying afterward that she “was in my moment.

We have plenty to take away from last week’s NFL owners’ meetings …
Fun nugget that I picked up this week—Baker Mayfield was as much in on recruiting the Buccaneers as Tampa Bay was in on recruiting him last month. Early on in the process, I’m told, he showed a strong affinity for the Bucs, and that actually matches right up with what he told me shortly after he signed on March 15.
His process, he explained, started with having some time to take a deep breath after being moved from Cleveland to Carolina to Los Angeles in a six-month span.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I’m still trying to wrap my head around Caitlin Clark’s technical.

You know it’s been nearly two straight months without a break when everyone basically hates each other’s guts — and, would you look at that! Right on cue, we’ve hit the two-month mark on the NASCAR schedule.
What are the odds?!
Putting a short track right after the first road race of the season was a genius move by the fellas in the NASCAR Marketing Tower, and Richmond gave us in the #content business exactly what we were looking for.
Well, Richmond, Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin, of course.
There’s a conclusion we can all draw simply from the calendar—if a Lamar Jackson offer sheet was out there to be signed predraft, it’d have been negotiated and signed by now. Teams have too much tied up into their quarterback plans, and there’s too much invested in the position across the league, for anyone to arbitrarily wait until April.
But after the draft? Things could change.
With the 2023 NFL draft just a few weeks away, it’s time to think about what kind of fantasy impact the incoming players may have. Rookies have become a much bigger part of the fantasy football landscape in recent seasons. In years past, it was the first-year running backs who typically made the most significant statistical impacts among rookies. But nowadays, we’re seeing an increased number of quarterbacks come right in and finish with solid fantasy totals.
Anthony Davis is back.
Where ya been?
Where has the 40-points-against-the-Rockets-on-Sunday Davis been? Or the guy who collected 38 points and 17 rebounds in a must-ish win against the Timberwolves two nights earlier? Or the player who scored another 38 points against the Bulls before that? Over the last three games Davis has been shooting 65% from the floor.
Where has that guy been?
This season has been Davis’s best as a Laker. His scoring (26.3), rebounding (12.4) and shooting percentage (56.7%) are at four-year highs.
