The ESPN Sunday Night Baseball broadcast has been putting mics on players and interviewing them live during games, which is not only a fun way for viewers to get more into the game—but it can also lead to some pretty funny moments. 
That happened in the Philadelphia-Houston game Sunday night when Phillies left fielder Kyle Schwarber was talking with the booth during the bottom of the second inning. A fly ball was hit Schwarber’s way while he was chatting, and he tried to make a play on it but things did not go well at all.

The Miz is constantly unveiling new layers.
Two weeks ago, he wrestled an outstanding match against Seth Rollins on Raw. It was the caliber of match expected from Rollins, yet Miz was every bit his equal. It was an important performance from the 18-year industry veteran, highlighting that he can play many roles in WWE, including setting a high standard in between the ropes.
The match was less of a revelation and more of a reminder of Miz’s skill level.

Draymond Green wasted no time recording his podcast after the Warriors’ 120–100 win over the Kings in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series and took the opportunity to call out Sacramento forward Domantas Sabonis for not shaking hands after the game. 
“Lost a lot of respect for Sabonis,” Green said on The Draymond Green Show. “You don’t shake guys’ hands after you lose, I don’t respect that.

Payton Thorne’s time with Michigan State has come to an end.
The veteran college QB entered the transfer portal Sunday, according to multiple reports. It was the final day for non-graduate transfers to get in the portal. The decision to transfer comes after a QB battle against Noah Kim and Katin Houser. Clearly, Thorne didn’t like his chances, despite being the starter. Thorne has two years of eligibility remaining.r
Star receiver Keon Coleman also hit the portal. It was a tough day for the roster in East Lansing.
Payton Thorne leaves Michigan State.

The Carolina Panthers drafting Bryce Young with the first-overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft sent an obvious message to its fanbase and those already in the organization: Young is the quarterback of the present and future and Matt Corral is not.
The Panthers drafted Corral in the third round of last year’s NFL Draft. While the former Ole Miss quarterback didn’t play a snap last season after suffering a Lisfranc injury, it’s no secret he’ll be the No. 2 QB in Carolina, at best, moving forward.
Corral doesn’t seem to appreciate that new reality.

Deion Sanders isn’t happy that only one HBCU player was selected in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The draft wrapped up Saturday with a total of 259 players being selected, and the only player from an HBCU to get the call was former Jackson State player Isaiah Bolden. The Patriots took the DB in the seventh round.
For a reason that’s not clear, the lack of HBCU picks upset Deion Sanders, and he tweeted he was “ashamed” of the rest of the league for not taking more.

So proud is you @isaiahbolden23 You deserved to be drafted much higher but I’m truly proud of u.

Here’s our first projection of the 2024 NFL Draft class.
As the confetti settles on the 2023 NFL Draft, it’s now time to look forward. NFL Draft season never ends, so here’s a brief look forward to the future, and the 2024 NFL Draft class, with a preseason top-32 big board.

Marvin Harrison Jr. could be one of the best WR prospects ever
Ohio State WR Marvin Harrison Jr. is unlike any receiver I’ve ever seen. He’s a larger receiver at 6’4, but could realistically add more weight to his 205 pound frame.

Enes Kanter Freedom might have his sights set on something much larger than sports.
The former Boston Celtics center hasn’t played since the 2021-2022 season, and it’s highly-unlikely he ever plays in the NBA again.
The Turkish-born basketball player has been an outspoken critic of China, and if there’s one thing everyone knows about the NBA, criticizing the communist dictatorship simply won’t be tolerated. The NBA’s posture is it needs to ask Beijing’s permission to use the bathroom in the morning.
