Apparently, the NFL has a gambling problem. The league has gone all-in on legalized gambling, but not when it comes to their players.

That puts the NFL in a tough spot.

Former Jets offensive lineman D’Brickashaw Ferguson said on the NFL Players: Second Acts podcast he plans on attending nursing school.
The 39-year-old, who retired from the NFL in 2016, spoke about his journey on the podcast. He discussed how his confidence was low since he hadn’t taken any science classes since high school.
He then enrolled in community college to take “one class at a time” and take the prerequisites needed to apply to nursing school. Ferguson completed all the coursework, and multiple schools accepted him. He plans to go in the fall.
Southern Mississippi baseball has leaned on its ace Tanner Hall in each of the last two seasons. But at what point are the Golden Eagles leaning on him too much?
That is the question being asked after a surprise announcement on Monday.
Hall, a junior from Louisiana, is considered one of the best right-handed pitching prospects to come out of college in this year’s MLB Draft class. There is an argument to be made that he has the best command of any prospect this season.

Kendrick Perkins wasn’t a fan of Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s comments criticizing his team’s lack of effort in Denver’s loss to the Heat in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night.
During an appearance on ESPN’s First Take on Monday morning, Perkins said Malone needs to “hold himself accountable” rather than blaming his players, specifically pointing to Malone’s usage of Michael Porter Jr. as an area he feels the Nuggets’ coach needs to improve upon.

The 25-year-old Norwegian pulled out a playoff victory at The Memorial Sunday, and less than 24 hours, took up a side job.

A chaotic revolving door of head coaches highlights an impressive amount of attempted changes and failures. Brown has attempted a dozen head coaching changes. 12. In two months.
The whole thing got started back at the beginning of March when Brown purchased the Empire.
