Do professional athletes owe anyone anything when a game is over? More precisely, is it their duty to talk to the assembled media about what just happened, win or lose?
Collin Morikawa, the world’s fourth-ranked golfer, had some thoughts on this earlier in the week that drew some criticism. And following Friday’s second round of The Players, he had some more thoughts on said criticism.
Let’s go back to the beginning.
Last Sunday, after falling a stroke short of possibly winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Morikawa left without talking to the media.
The Dallas Cowboys front office has been criticized for not learning how to build rosters in the offseason. Dallas never spends on big-money free agents and generally aren’t active early in the league year. This year, has been a bit different has been active early and is trying to hit on something they saw the Philadelphia Eagles do last offseason: get players with lots of potential on cheap deals and hope they break out like Zack Baun did last season.
Baun was seen as a top-50 prospect who fell to the No.
The Falcons have brought in a veteran defender.
Atlanta has agreed to a two-year deal with edge rusher Morgan Fox, according to a report from NFL Media.
Fox, 30, spent the last three seasons with the Chargers as a rotational defender. Last season, Fox tallied 3.5 sacks with four tackles for loss and six QB hits in 17 games.
He was on the field for 53 percent of defensive snaps in 2024 and 17 percent of special teams snaps.
Fox has not missed a game since returning from a torn ACL suffered during the 2018 offseason program.

Wyndham Clark has withdrawn from The Players Championship
Wyndham Clark has withdrawn from The Players Championship after playing only 27 holes.
The 2023 U.S. Open champion called it quits after shooting a 4-over 40 on the front nine, which included a double-bogey seven on the par-5 2nd. He also had a pair of three putts on the par-3 3rd and par-4 5th holes and no birdies to show.
Monday night’s game against the Red Wings had its fill of noteworthy moments.
Linus Ullmark was the star, making a season-high 48 saves – many of them being of the highlight-reel variety, snuffing out high-danger chances. The Swedish goaltender singlehandedly stole two critical regulation points in the Senators’ push for the postseason against a division rival competing for one of the Conference’s wild card seeds. His efforts earned him several standing ovations, and pervasive “Ull-mark, Ull-mark” chants filled the air at the Canadian Tire Centre.
The New York Yankees made the World Series in 2024 for the first time since 2009. They play in the country’s biggest market, have Major League Baseball‘s biggest brand, play in an iconic stadium, and have one of the best hitters in the sport’s history.
They own part of their own television station dedicated entirely to Yankees content, for crying out loud. So why does it feel like their window to win a World Series might be closing?
Because it might actually be closing.
Michigan State basketball is moving on to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals and we now know who they will face on Saturday afternoon.
The Spartans took care of business in their Big Ten Tournament opening game on Friday against Oregon. That win propelled Michigan State to the semifinals on Saturday. Following Michigan State’s win, No. 5 seed Wisconsin made easy work of No. 4 seed UCLA to setup a semifinals matchup between the Spartans and Badgers.
This matchup with the Spartans will be the Badgers’ third game in three days.
NASHVILLE – The Auburn Tigers were taken to the limit by Ole Miss on Friday afternoon at the SEC Tournament, but Bruce Pearl wanted to make it clear in an NSFW (not safe for work) way that his basketball team is tough, and his guards aren’t p*ssies.
While there were a number of moments during the game against Ole Miss where the Tigers struggled to find the hoop, clearly there was no doubting the toughness of this Auburn basketball team. Right now, Bruce Pearl has his team sitting pretty when it comes to securing a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
