The Panthers have agreed to a deal with wide receiver DJ Chark. Carolina has been active this offseason, trading up for the No. 1 pick in the draft, and signing RB Miles Sanders and WR Adam Thielen in addition to Chark.
The Dallas star’s gripe with the officiating crew resulted in an ironic punishment from the league.
Luka Dončić found himself on the receiving end of an ironic punishment from the NBA on Friday in the wake of the Mavericks star taking aim at officials with a “money” taunt late in Wednesday’s controversial 127–125 home loss to the Warriors.
The NBA announced Dončić has been fined $35,000 for “directing an inappropriate and unprofessional gesture toward a game official” in the closing moments of Wednesday’s matchup.

Plus: Has the Magic run out for the Knicks?
While everyone else was watching the first night of Sweet 16 action in the Men’s NCAA Tournament, I was watching… well, I, too, was watching the Men’s NCAA Tournament. But thank goodness for iPads, right? That’s how I streamed Thursday’s NBA action, four games that not only all had the potential to be tight — and started out that way — but were important tilts for at least one team in each matchup. Let’s dig in.
The analyst has a popular name at the top.
Trash talking is one of the more underrated skill sets for the best athletes in the world, as being able to get into an opponent’s head is in and of itself an advantage. Some of the best ever were not just physical presences in their sport, but trash-talking savants as well.

Former University of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is viewed as a guaranteed first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, with it being extremely likely he is one of the first ten players to hear his name called. Levis is coming from a pro-style offense at Kentucky where a former Los Angeles Rams offensive assistant coach called plays in the 2021 season, a season in which Levis flourished.

Wrongfully accused XFL player struggles to clear his name off the field
Although the XFL has reinstated Orlando Guardians quarterback Quinten Dormady, the ability to clear his name “in the court of public opinion” is proving to be much a more difficult endeavor.
For some context, the Guardians released Dormady on March 2 because they were of the opinion that he had leaked offensive plays to an opponent. Following an investigation, the league found no wrongdoing and he has since been reinstated to the team, but the ordeal is still ongoing as he feverishly tries to clear his name.
Carolina is adding a pass-catcher to its arsenal as the team looks to retool the offense.
The Panthers are signing former Pro Bowl wide receiver DJ Chark, the team announced Friday. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport broke the news of the signing and reported that Carolina and the 26-year-old have agreed to terms on a one-year deal.
Chark spent last season with the Lions after playing his first four years with the Jaguars. He caught 30 passes for 502 yards and three touchdowns as one of Jared Goff’s top targets in Detroit.
“Adam’s a standup guy, and I love the way he represents Spokane.”
Adam Morrison and Julianna Peña both know the taste of greatness. And they’ve also been haunted by defeat.
Peña reached the highest of highs when she upset Amanda Nunes for the bantamweight title. Nunes entered that fight in December of 2021 as an unstoppable force, and only a precious few outside of Peña’s friends and family envisioned her emerging victorious. Yet she did, in remarkable fashion, bludgeoning Nunes with a flurry of strikes before forcing her to tap.
