Kuzma is about to get a step pay raise, the question is from whom?

There’s a unique terror in a first pitch.
Compare it to a puck drop, or a coin flip, or any other ceremonial act in which a celebrity might partake before a sporting event. Those are straightforward, routine tasks, almost more administrative than physical. They do not bear a direct resemblance to the action of their respective sports. But a first pitch? It’s not just a request to perform an athletic feat that most adults do not practice regularly or, in fact, ever. It’s a request to do that immediately before a group of people who are remarkably and professionally skilled at it.

French basketball sensation Victor Wembanyama makes zero sense as a physical specimen.
If you gave Ridley Scott’s Xenomorph the ability to shoot from beyond the 3-point line and the ball-handling skills of a college point guard, you end up with the projected first overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft (scheduled for Thursday in New York).

Wembanyama is an anomaly, in the best sense.

Cincinnati president Phil Castellini — and most of the baseball world — didn’t think this team had a chance to compete. Well, here we are.

Victor Wembanyama was in New York ahead of Thursday’s 2023 NBA draft, in which he’s projected to be the No. 1 pick by the Spurs. 
Wembanyama was invited to Yankee Stadium to throw out the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the Yankees’ clash against the Mariners on Tuesday.
With all eyes on him, Wembanyama absolutely misfired on his first pitch, missing the target, Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson, wide to the left.

Joey McGuire only has coached the Texas Tech football team for one season, but he impressed fans with an 8-5 record and a Texas Bowl victory in 2022. Now, as he prepares for the upcoming season, McGuire is entertaining fans by fulfilling a promise from months ago.
In April, Texas Tech football’s official Twitter account posted a call to action for fans, pledging that McGuire would climb a massive crane being used for stadium renovations if its post got 3,000 retweets. McGuire seemed pretty enthused by the idea, adding a “Let’s Gooooooooo!!!!!!!” to his agreement.

NFL agent Drew Rosenhaus shared a video on Tuesday from a fishing trip he was on alongside star Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. 
While on the trip, Rosenhaus could be seen in the water alongside a shark, getting up close to the animal while next to the fishing boat.
Rosenhaus proceeded to grab the shark by its tail and pose for videos and photos while in the water. The shark, which an expert described as not being fully healthy, barely reacted to the agent’s actions.

Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill has been named in an investigation by the Miami-Dade Police Department concerning a physical altercation over Father’s Day weekend.
According to Miami’s Local 10 News, Hill allegedly hit an employee working at Haulover Marina, a charter company in South Florida.
The 29-year-old player reportedly assaulted the man on Sunday during a dispute. No arrests have been made, and Tyreek Hill has not made any remarks regarding the allegation.
Hill was spotted hanging out with NFL super-agent Drew Rosenhaus on Monday in a social media video of the two out at sea.

If the league is going to ban gambling because of perception, it’s fair also to consider the perceptions that NFL inconsistency creates.

After a handful of gambling-related suspensions, the league is refreshing its players, coaches and staff on policies. There’s just one issue.
