When an almost universally disliked owner is forced to sell a sports franchise, most of us assume the disappointment they must feel is assuaged by the billions of dollars that will rattle into their bank accounts.

UConn star forward Adama Sanogo is declaring for the NBA draft, according to insider Adam Zagoria. The news was confirmed by Stadium’s Jeff Goodman, who added that Sanogo has not completely ruled out returning to college.
The big man just finished his junior season with an NCAA national title and was named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player in the process. He averaged 17.2 points and 7.7 rebounds a game while shooting 60.6% from the field this past season.

The 2023 Masters had a thrilling final round on Sunday that saw Jon Rahm run away from Brooks Koepka to win his first green jacket by four strokes.
You know who else made a big push in the final round? Phil Mickelson.
The 52-year-old left-hander, who has won the Masters four times in his career, stunned just about everyone with his second-place finish which came thanks to five birdies and no bogeys over the final nine holes.
There was lots of chatter from fans afterward about whether or not CBS gave Mickelson enough attention on Sunday’s broadcast.
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.

Las Vegas books favored Bryce Young to be the top pick from the jump. But following the Carolina Panthers trade for the number one pick, Stroud jumped him. Not only did Stroud jump him, but Anthony Richardson did as well.
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.

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.
The ball kept traveling toward the back of the section, before landing in a box section. Which just so happened to be exactly where his dad, Bobby Witt Sr., and the rest of his family were sitting.

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.
As most of these types of things go, it was entirely unintentional. Here’s how it happened.
The Chicago social media team put out a video describing the team’s process of trading the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft. The video included a brief discussion regarding the team’s analytics evaluations that took place, which seemed to include a “catch-all” analytics cylinder that showed just about everything involved in player evaluation being filtered into “analytics.
