Chasing the NBA MVP has become a fool’s errand.
In Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, Steph Curry, the first unanimous MVP in NBA history, and reigning 2015 MVP and champion, had a shitty game. He shot 6-of-19 from the field and Golden State was outscored by three points when he was on the floor. The game was an anxious rock fight from the tip, with the Cavs storming back thanks to a Draymond nut shot and subsequent suspension, from 3-1.

With wildfires raging in Canada, F1 believes the Canadian Grand Prix can go ahead as scheduled next week
With wildfires continuing to rage in Canada, and the smoke billowing down into the United States, Formula 1 officials are seeking to ease fears regarding next week’s Canadian Grand Prix.
Smoky conditions and deteriorating air quality led to the cancellation of numerous sporting events along the East Coast in recent days, with Major League Baseball cancelling games in New York City and Philadelphia.
The Vikings and running back Dalvin Cook are parting ways after six seasons, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The long-rumored split will have big time implications for fantasy managers, starting out with an increase in the value of Alexander Mattison. A talented runner who rarely had a chance to be a featured back, he’ll now be a solid No. 2 fantasy option and worth a top-50 pick in redrafts.
As for Cook, there should be no shortage of suitors for his services. While he did put up a career-low 4.
If for some reason that whole NFL quarterback thing doesn’t work out for Joe Burrow, at least he knows he can be a designated hitter on an MLB team.
BURROW BOMB.

The 2020 NFL Draft No. 1 pick headed to a different Cincinnati stadium on Wednesday when he joined the Reds for some batting practice.
And he went off.

Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, one of the most prominent and influential executives in college athletics, informed his staff Thursday morning that he will step down in 2024. His successor has already been chosen: Pete Bevacqua, chairman of NBC Sports Group and a second-generation Notre Dame alum.
“This is a dream come true,” Bevacqua says. “With the exception of my family, nothing means more to me than Notre Dame. I don’t have a memory in my lifetime, quite literally, where Notre Dame wasn’t a part of it.
Do you know how good you have to be at scoring the basketball for an opposing team to make the deliberate strategic decision to leave the best offensive player in the world … open?
Apparently, the answer is: at least as good as Jamal Murray is.
The Nuggets are back in the NBA Finals driver’s seat, taking a 2–1 lead and snatching back home court from the Heat after a dominant, 109–94 win in Game 3. Murray and Nikola Jokić were sublime Wednesday, each posting 30-point triple doubles, a first in NBA history.
The Minnesota Vikings have informed running back Dalvin Cook that he is being released Thursday, a source confirmed to OutKick.
So the dynamic running back will be on the loose.
Let the chase begin.
The Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos, which had communication with the Vikings about a possible Cook trade earlier this offseason, are expected to explore signing the looming free agent.
The Dallas Cowboys, which had internal conversations about Cook when rumors of his availability emerged, may consider Cook.
If you thought that the drama and pettiness we’ve seen in the professional golf world over the last two years would just magically go away with the announcement of the merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, you thought wrong.
Given that the only thing we actually know about the merger is that a merger between the Tour, DP World Tour, and the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been agreed upon, theories and questions are still being asked. With so much unknown, shots are still being fired as well.
Cole Leinart, the son of former Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart, isn’t a lefty like his father but the apple didn’t fall far from the tree in regard to arm talent. Although he is only 16 years old, he is well on his way to big things.

People forget Pete Davidson was a BUCKET
I guess Pete Davidson is a hooper now?
Actor and comedian Pete Davidson stopped by UNLV’s basketball gym to get a run in with the Runnin’ Rebels, and surprisingly, he can kinda hoop!

I think the wildest part of this is that Davidson doesn’t look that athletic. He’s real skinny, doesn’t look super quick, but he’s schooling these dudes.
