Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks tried to play the role of bully in Memphis’ first round playoff series with Los Angeles but ended up being cast as a clown instead.
Brooks, who had about as much of an impact on the series as you or I, finished last night’s series losing game six with 10 points. A now commonly ordinary stat line for a player who spent the last few weeks inserting his foot into his mouth.

Dillon Brooks Is So Dislikable, He Makes LeBron James Likable

Fittingly, he’s been unable to remove that same shoe from his mouth.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick addressed the media after Day 2 of the NFL draft and was asked about the status of starting quarterback Mac Jones heading into his third season with the team.
After a strong rookie year in 2021, Jones took a step back last year in production due to a high-ankle sprain and turnover with New England’s offensive coaching staff following Josh McDaniels’s departure to the Raiders.
Belichick was asked about reports that the Patriots were shopping Jones on the trade market earlier in the offseason. He gave a blunt answer to that question.

Sergio Perez delivers another win for Red Bull in the Saturday sprint race in Azerbaijan
Another race, another dominant performance from Red Bull.
Sergio Perez wrestled P1 away from Charles Leclerc of Ferrari early in Saturday’s sprint race, and pulled away over the closing laps to claim victory in the sprint. Leclerc was able to hold off Max Verstappen for P2.
Still, Perez and the rest of the team know that tomorrow is the big target.

A Los Angeles Lakers fan was chosen to participate in a 30-second challenge to score 10 points in order to win a prize and it ended in embarrassment.
I don’t want to pick on a teenager, but he deserves to get called out for his “WTF?” moment, especially because he knew exactly what he was doing.
This is just cringe to the max:

At first I thought that maybe Cooper didn’t understand that the clock had started, or even what the rules were.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff fielded questions from team reporters at Detroit’s draft party at Ford Field on Thursday night and was asked about Aaron Rodgers’s departure from the NFC North after being traded to the Jets earlier this week.
“This past week, what was your reaction when Aaron Rodgers finally got his a— out of this division?” Goff was asked, as the crowd in attendance went crazy in the background.
Goff chuckled before delivering an incredible answer that played off the energy of the Lions fans in attendance.

Anyone who has attended an NBA games has probably seen a game like this during a timeout: a fan gets the opportunity to hit some shots on their favorite team’s court and win a prize. 13-year-old Cooper, a Lakers fan at last night’s blowout win against the Grizzlies, took the opportunity to get the crowd going, but when it came time for him to chuck a desperation three, things did not go according to plan.
Cooper had 30 seconds to score 10 points and win a prize, with a layup worth one point, a free-throw worth three, and a three from the top of the key worth all 10.

Following a stunning 125–85 loss to the Lakers on Friday night that ended the season for the Grizzlies, star point guard Ja Morant lamented off-court issues that negatively impacted the team.
Morant, understandably, pointed a lot of the blame toward himself.
“I’ve just got to be better with my decision-making,” Morant said. “That’s pretty much it. Off-the-court issues affected us as an organization pretty much. Just [need] more discipline,” he said.

The Crypto.com arena exploded into cheers on Friday night, not just because the Lakers were manhandling the Memphis Grizzlies, but because their dear friend Jack Nicholson had returned.
It only took two words for the Lakers faithful to realize that their hero was back in his familiar courtside seat. As soon as they heard “Heeeeere’s Johnny!” the entire crowd in attendance and watching at home knew there was no way the Lakers were going to lose this game.

Darnell Washington and Brian Branch are among the steals from the second night of the 2023 NFL Draft
Ah yes, the second night of the NFL Draft, where no points are scored yet we still find a way to keep score somehow.
The second night of the 2023 NFL Draft saw some slides end (looking at your Will Levis), others linger a little longer (that would be you Trenton Simpson) and even a few continue into Day Three.
Still, there was value to be found on Friday night, and here are some picks that stand out.
Brian Branch, S, Alabama — No.

There are still picks to be made, so there is still time for a mock draft
There are still picks to be made in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Which means there is still time to put together a mock draft.
The draft turns to Saturday, as all 32 NFL teams now focus on finding some late-round value and potentially the next Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, Tom Brady, Julian Edelman or [insert your favorite Day Three pick from NFL Draft history here].
