Not only did Texas A&M baseball lose to Texas on Tuesday night, the Aggies showed their ass. Literally.
Technically, it was just one Aggie who revealed his rump, and he was charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. So it didn’t end well.
As the top of the fourth inning got underway, a shirtless fan took off across the diamond wearing only compression shorts, gloves, sneakers and a wrestling mask. He took off from the first base line and finished his run in centerfield— after two attempts to hope the wall.

MJ’s beef with former Detroit Piston Isiah Thomas is back, as Thomas has called on MJ to apologize for past comments that have fed their ongoing feud.
Thomas appeared on a recent episode of the All The Smoke podcast. He challenged Michael to apologize for calling IT an “a**hole” during an episode of the widely popular Jordan documentary, “The Last Dance.

This ‘Hendon Hooker in the Top 10’ talk is dumb.
Hendon Hooker was an incredible story during the 2022 NCAA season, but now this storyline has jumped the shark. Mike Tannenbaum of ESPN turned heads on Tuesday when he shattered every morsel of conventional wisdom when it comes to the 2023 NFL Draft, mocking Hooker to the Seattle Seahawks at No. 5.
A lot of things when it comes to the draft and prospect evaluation come down to personal opinion and gut feelings, but this is just dumb.

Ole Miss and Southern Miss baseball met on the diamond in Pearl, Mississippi on Tuesday night. The game was played on Trustmark Field, home of the Mississippi Braves, the Southern League Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.
Technically, though, it never happened. The college baseball game was declared a no contest in the middle of the fourth inning on account of poor sod.
The Golden Eagles were up 2-1 in the bottom half with no outs and no one on when junior Matthew Etzel laid down a bunt down the third base line.

Florida Atlantic had one hell of a run, but the Owls may as well not even bother making the trip to Houston. Unfortunately for FAU, loser Mattress Mack has inserted himself into the conversation, and will almost assuredly be the downfall of this great run.
Sad!
Mack, the Houston-based gambler who hasn’t won a thing since last baseball season, has apparently struck an NIL deal with the school that will allow them to bring friends and family to the Final Four.
Sounds pretty cool, right? Wrong! Mattress Mack is also hosting a dinner for the players AND giving them a pep talk.

The NFL can’t do this to its players or its fans.
The NFL made a big schedule change Wednesday at the owners meetings when it was announced that teams could play two Thursday night games per season, instead of the one game that was the previous limit. 
A decision on one other possible major change—a proposal allowing Thursday Night Football games to be flexed—was pushed back until May, the league said. 
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was not a fan about possibly playing two Thursday night games in a season, and neither was former NFL star J.J. Watt.
