Ahead of his 25th appearance at the Masters, Tiger Woods acknowledges he doesn’t know how many more competitive rounds he has left at Augusta National.

It’s always something!
Now, some Major League Baseball fans are complaining that the games are too short.
In a “of course they are!” scenario, baseball fans believe MLB may have overdone its recent changes in an effort to speed up the game.

Sunday’s national championship between LSU and Iowa marked a watershed moment for women’s sports, in large part due to the glut of water-cooler discussions its many storylines generated.
One such storyline came near the end of the Tigers’ 102–85 win, when LSU forward Angel Reese pointed to her ring finger and mocked Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark’s favorite celebration—WWE great John Cena’s “you can’t see me” move.
While many took offense to Reese’s actions, Clark didn’t, telling ESPN as such Tuesday afternoon.

An F1 fan at this past weekend’s Australian Grand Prix — which was insane, by the way — was hit by debris from his favorite driver’s car, leaving him with a laceration on his forearm.
No, he didn’t get to take home the piece of debris either.
The incident happened on Lap 54 when Haas’ Kevin Magnussen clipped one of the walls around Melbourne’s Albert Park Circuit which shredded his right rear tire of VF-23.

It appears that Raiders coach Josh McDaniels added an old friend from New England to his coaching staff during the offseason. Oliver Thomas of Forbes was the first to notice that former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola is now listed as a assistant returners coach on Las Vegas’s coaching staff on Tuesday. 
McDaniels, who was a longtime Patriots offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, is very familiar with the former wideout. Amendola played for 13 years and called it a career in 2022 after playing for seven different NFL franchises.

Basketball has come so easy to Stephen Curry that he is apparently taking his talents to a new challenge: television. Deadline’s Peter White reports that Curry will co-star in a new NBC comedy show titled Mr. Throwback alongside actor Adam Pally.
According to the report, the series will be about a sports memorabilia dealer who reunites with Curry, his sixth-grade basketball teammate. Curry, of course, will play himself, while Pally will likely play the memorabilia dealer, and the show will be in a mockumentary style.

The 2023 Masters is upon us, the greatest four-day stretch golf has to offer has arrived, and as per usual, there are several intriguing storylines to follow heading into the year’s first major championship.
Some of the biggest storylines for this 87th playing of The Masters are the same as years prior, but while this year’s tournament has similarities to years past, it’s also incredibly unique with 18 LIV golfers in the field.

So many Black women knew exactly what the LSU star meant on Sunday night, about the box we’re expected to inhabit — not too loud, not too proud, not too accomplished.

Fulham star striker Aleksandar Mitrović is facing a lengthy spell on the sideline after an independent regulatory committee issued a punishment to him following an altercation with a referee on March 19.
During an FA Cup matchup against Manchester United, Mitrović was sent off with a red card after shoving referee Chris Kavanagh. Initially, Mitrović was issued a three-match ban for his antics during the match, but an additional five games have been added onto his sentence by the independent regulatory committee.
