Philly gonna Philly.
Phillies fans have come up with the savage idea to buy up all the available Phillies – Diamondbacks tickets for today’s Game 3 of the ALCS in order to make sure the Dbacks don’t have any home field advantage.
The wild part is that these Phillies fans aren’t even going to the game… they are simply buying up the tickets so that Diamondbacks fans CAN’T go. Gotta respect the hustle, even if it is Philly we’re talking about.

Phillies fans are now buying tickets to tonight’s Game 3 in Arizona just to keep the seats empty and not go.
This city is undefeated.

The Celtics struck a trade to acquire Jrue Holiday after he was initially dealt to the Trail Blazers as part of the Damian Lillard deal. Now, fans are hoping Boston’s new No. 4 can replicate some of the success that a recent fan-favorite who wore that number, Isaiah Thomas, had.
Holiday addressed his decision to change his jersey to No. 4, citing him and his three siblings (the four Holidays are all notable basketball players) and Thomas himself, according to Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe. Holiday also revealed that he reached out to Thomas prior to choosing the No. 4.

Lakers star LeBron James is releasing his third children’s book on April 2, 2024, and this one will be titled I Am More Than.
The four-time NBA champion explained that this book will be a way to inspire the young generation to believe in themselves. The book is illustrated by Niña Mata, who also illustrated James’s first book I Promise.
“Coming to bookstores near you!!” James tweeted on Thursday. “I Am More Than! Our next book is about believing in yourself and all the amazing things you’re capable of, which NO ONE else can define for YOU.

Remember that weird interview with Greg Schiano during halftime of the Rutgers-Michigan game last month?
Well, maybe it’s starting to make sense. At least that’s what the internet thinks, and, as we all know, the internet is nothing if not reliable in moments like these.
For those who missed it earlier today — or were sitting in meetings like yours truly — Michigan is apparently under investigation for essentially … stealing signs … earlier this season.
Seriously. Sign-stealing … in college football! What a world.

Caleb Williams and Olu Fashanu, who attended Gonzaga College High School just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, could become the first high school teammates to both go in the top 5 of the same NFL draft.

Jorge Martin analyzes how the Atlanta Falcons are deploying Bijan Robinson and runs down other players for this week’s Rookie Report.

Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady is reportedly seeking to pay a mere $175 million for a 10% stake in the Raiders, a price which represents a significant discount based on the value of the team, according to a report from Ben Volin of The Boston Globe.
Brady’s interest in a stake of the Raiders franchise has been well-documented, but the deal has yet to be approved by NFL owners. Colts owner Jim Irsay took issue to the price of Brady’s stake, as he believes it is too steep of a discount for a 10% ownership piece of the franchise.

Team USA lost to Team Europe in Italy at the Ryder Cup, but let’s re-pick this team and choose the men who would have ended the drought.
For a moment, let’s try and forget about the embarrassing loss that Team USA suffered at the hands of the Europeans at the Ryder Cup.
In this alternate universe, all 12 picks are captain picks, and you are in charge of them.
The ultimate goal is to beat Team Europe, who will have the same members on its team—for this rhetorical narrative.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes seemingly has done it all in seven professional seasons. He’s won two Super Bowls with a franchise that hadn’t won a championship in 50 years. He’s revolutionized the quarterback position, incorporating improvisation and baseball mechanics into his game. It seems likely he’ll retire one day with the ballyhooed “best of his generation” tag.
However, he may one day add another notch to his résumé: punter.

As the NCAA investigates Michigan over sign-stealing allegations, their next opponent reportedly was ready to step away from the field.
The Athletic’s Brendan Quinn reports Michigan State approached the Big Ten to say it was considering not playing in the game this weekend, citing concern over the health and safety of its players. Initially, the conference gave Michigan State a heads up regarding the investigation to inform the school of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing ahead of the game.
