Cook could be on the way out, and these teams would be good fits.
The next major running back cut is on the horizon, with the Vikings reportedly trying to Dalvin Cook before the 4 p.m. ET deadline that would prevent the team moving on without incurring a significant cap penalty. Cook joins Ezekiel Elliott and Christian McCaffrey among the high-paid RB extension players who have either been cut or traded due to their cap hit exceeding their worth on the field.

This is a new one
There is a lot of excitement around the New York Jets this season, and with good reason. General manager Joe Douglas has put together a talented young core of players, and that group finished 7-10 a season ago, keeping themselves in the playoff mix until late in the season despite less-than-stellar quarterback play.
The youth movement in New York is nothing short of impressive.

Ahead of the 2023 Memorial Tournament, Jack Nicklaus discusses Rory McIlroy’s major championship drought.
Jack Nicklaus spoke with the media on Tuesday ahead of the Memorial Tournament, and the topic of Rory McIlroy and major championships came up in discussion. The media asked what Nicklaus made of his nine-year major drought and if he had any advice for the Northern Irishman.
Since McIlroy’s 2014 PGA Championship and Open Championship victories, he hasn’t won a major title.

Novak Djokovic doesn’t need any extra motivation in his quest for what would be his third French Open title, but Cameron Norrie may have given some to the Serb.
Djokovic and Norrie, the top-ranked British men’s player, got into it a bit earlier this month at the Italian Open when Norrie hit The Joker to win a point.
Djokovic and Norrie were in a tightly contested fourth game in the second set of their match in Italy. After a lengthy rally, Djokovic was just able to get his racket onto the ball near the net and popped it high into the air.

Jimmy Butler may have an NBA Championship to focus on, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to set aside his business interests.
The Miami Heat star appears to have filed for a trademark on one of his nicknames — “Himmy Buckets” — and plans to potentially use it on all kinds of things.
This was first picked up on by trademark attorney Josh Gerben, who tweeted that Butler had filed for his trademark last week.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series exploring the SEC’s most pressing issue, as its member schools begin to use their fundraising arms (foundations) in NIL endeavors. While Part 1 examines the trend and its problems, Part 2 explores potential solutions to the issue.

On June 6, dozens of SEC administrators and coaches will descend on Capitol Hill to further lobby state lawmakers to push through legislation governing athlete compensation.

Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie focuses on hitters in this week’s trade analyzer.

With every day that passes, the Athletics’ season gets sadder and sadder. The latest example came when a video started making the rounds online, showing a fan who easily ran onto the field without a single security guard stopping him and proceeded to run all the bases. 
On Monday, a fan posted a TikTok that showed a young boy hopping over the barrier and rounding the bases while the ground crew was at work. With little effort from security to stop him, the fan casually jogged back to his barren section in the crowd after his conquest.

‘Ted Lasso’ stuck the landing in a perfectly imperfect conclusion.
Yeah, it might be all that we get. Ted Lasso ended season three on Wednesday, and while nothing official has been said about the future of the show, it’s impossible to view “So Long, Farewell” as anything but the series finale. Our last trip to Richmond AFC was nothing short of perfection, which gave us satisfying conclusions to all the storylines that could be settled — while leaving others open for interpretation as they move on with their lives.
