Heading into the Masters Champions dinner, many were expecting drama to unfold with six LIV golfers sharing a table with many who have publically bashed anything and everything involved with the Saudi-backed circuit. Some circled Phil Mickelson as a potential source of controversy, but nothing came to fruition.

Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud is one of two QBs vying to be the first pick in the 2023 NFL draft, but what makes him so good?
The biggest news of the process leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft was the trade by the Carolina Panthers with the Chicago Bears for the first overall pick. It was automatically assumed that the Panthers jumped from ninth overall to ensure their choice of quarterbacks.
And while the Panthers could pick any of the top four quarterbacks, realistically there are two options for them: Ohio State’s C.J.

The 2023 NFL draft might be one of the most intriguing drafts in recent memory because two, or maybe three, quarterbacks are in the running of being the No. 1 pick come April 27 in Kansas City. Beyond the quarterbacks, there are plenty of unknowns at various positions, and that might force teams to prioritize scheme fits over physical traits.
With free agency behind us, and with the help of scouting reports from the draft experts, here’s my best guess at how the first-round of the draft will play out.

There’s no question the NBA play-in tournament has been a successful addition to the league’s postseason format. After experimenting with the idea during the bubble in 2020, the NBA instituted the play-in tournament to determine the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds in each conference ahead of the 2021 playoffs.

Embiid led the way scoring a game-high 52 points in the 76ers‘ 103–101 victory. The seventh-year center finished with a double-double, grabbing 13 rebounds and dishing out six assists.
The explosive outing was good enough for Philadelphia head coach Doc Rivers to declare there is doubt who the best player in the league is this season.
“The MVP race is over,” Rivers said at the podium after the game.
