49ers tight end George Kittle made a surprise appearance at WWE’s WrestleMania 39, teaming up with former Colts punter Pat McAfee against The Miz.
McAfee, who was making an impromptu appearance of his own, challenged the event’s host to an official match, during which Kittle got involved.
After Kittle was seen chirping at The Miz during his match with McAfee, the tight end proceeded to jump the barrier and wildly clothesline the two-time WWE MVP.
McAfee then climbed to the top rope of the ring and dove head first at The Miz, before jumping up and celebrating with Kittle.
The four-time national champion UConn Huskies posted their fifth consecutive dominant victory in the men’s NCAA tournament on Saturday night in the Final Four.
Continuing their rampage through the men’s NCAA tournament, the Huskies earned the school’s first trip to the national championship game since 2014 by crushing Miami 72–59 at NRG Stadium in Houston.
UConn, which took a 37–24 lead into halftime, dominated the Hurricanes on both ends of the court. Dan Hurley’s squad shot 49.1% from the field (28-of-57).
Things were looking up for the Jacksonville Jaguars after this season, and for that reason, the team’s owner, Shad Khan, is excited about what’s to come.
The Jags finished last season 9-8, good enough for first in a weak AFC South. After a stunning comeback win over the Chargers, the Jags were eliminated by the eventual Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Considering where they had been a year earlier, it was great.
In an interview with his team’s website at the NFL annual meeting, Khan shared his optimism for 2023.
No. 4 Connecticut was never in danger and overpowered 5-seed Miami from the very start to book its ticket to the national championship.
How, on the biggest stage in college hoops, could you not have a pair of backup sneakers?
Well, how about we ask the Miami Hurricanes’ point guard Nijel Pack.
His shoe broke during the Hurricanes‘ Final Four date with the Uconn Huskies.
Now, I assumed that somewhere in the bowels of NRG Stadium, the Hurricanes had a wealth of emergency backup sneakers that could go to should the need arise.
This is apparently not the case
