John Elway’s final contract with the Broncos as an outside consultant ended in March, marking the conclusion of his long tenure with Denver both as a player and in numerous capacities within the team’s front office.
Elway, 62, was the President of Football Operations for the Broncos when the team made an appearance in Super Bowl XLVIII and won Super Bowl 50. Over the last few years, Elway has slowly phased out of a significant role in Denver’s front office and now, he says, he’s done for good.

Brooks Koepka (-13) and Jon Rahm (-10) teed off just after 1 p.m. to start their third round at The Masters as the two leaders (by a mile), but nobody can really watch them play.
And fans are thrilled!
Thanks to Mother Nature, it’s an absolute scramble out at Augusta this afternoon as everyone is working to get their round in in a timely manner. Because of that, our two leaders — Koepka and Rahm — teed off at 1 p.m. — hours before CBS’ TV coverage was set to begin.
So, until CBS starts its coverage at 3 p.m.
The MLB season is just over a week old and and we’ve already seen some wild things happen, thanks mostly to the new pitch clock that is causing fits for both pitchers and hitters.
On Friday night we saw a unique strikeout that had not nothing to do with that pitch clock and everything to do with pain.
A’s right fielder Ramón Laureano struck out swinging but also got hit by the pitch on the same 90-mph changeup. Because he swung at the pitch before getting hit it was ruled a strikeout, which just had to be the worst way to strikeout.
Grizzlies center Steven Adams is expected to miss the postseason due to an injured right knee, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
Adams has been out for the last few months after he suffered a PCL sprain in his knee in a January game. According to Wojnarowski, Adams received a stem cell injection last month as part of his treatment.
In his second season with Memphis, Adams played in 42 games and averaged 8.5 points and a career-high 11.5 rebounds per game, the second straight season where he averaged double-digit rebounds.
Travis Kelce has had better performances.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end threw out the ceremonial first pitch Friday at the Cleveland Guardians home opener against the Seattle Mariners.
And it — well — it wasn’t good.
Take a look.

Now, we’ve seen plenty of bad celebrity first pitches over the years.
That was not, it’s fair to say, the start that Frank Lampard wanted to his second stint as Chelsea manager. It’s not just that his side lost 1–0 to Wolves, who are just four points off the relegation zone. It was the nature of the performance. Under Graham Potter, Chelsea had dominated games and failed to take its chances. At Molineux on Saturday, Chelsea was outfought and outplayed and didn’t even create the chances to miss.
“We needed more aggression,” Lampard said after the match. “We needed to be more competitive. That’s the base-line.

LIV Golfer takes a 36-hole lead into Round 3.
Round 2 at Augusta National was postponed Friday and pushed to Saturday morning to complete the round. Play at the Masters proved to be challenging for several golfers as they battled weather conditions so players made the most of what they could.
Some, however, didn’t have to worry about the weather as their second round play concluded prior to the weather rolling into Augusta on Friday.
With that said, here are the best and worst performances from the second round of play at the Masters.
After a promising 22–16 start, the Mavericks‘ 2023 season has turned into an unmitigated disaster.
Dallas is 16–27 since Jan. 2., and has fallen completely out of Western Conference playoff and play-in contention. Friday evening, the Mavericks lost 115–112 to the Bulls in a game they appeared to punt from the outset, sitting guard Kyrie Irving and removing guard Luka Dončić minutes into the second quarter.
With a lone home game against the Spurs remaining and the season lost, Dallas’s problems seem to be just beginning.
Brady Ware, a graduate student-athlete for D-II University of Indianapolis, put together a historic performance on Friday afternoon in the team’s 13–0 victory over Drury University.
Ware threw a no-hitter and hit for the cycle in the team’s victory, putting together one of the most impressive performances in the last several years across any level of college baseball.
Ware’s performance came in the second game of a doubleheader, meaning the games were only seven innings in length. Ware threw a complete game seven-inning shutout, allowing no hits and striking out 11 batters.
