A new city has thrown its hat into the ring for a potential MLB expansion team.
A Salt Lake City group is exploring potential avenues to attract an expansion team in the coming years, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
“Salt Lake City is a major league city,” Steve Starks, the CEO of the company behind the expansion bid, told ESPN. “We believe that as a top-30 media market in the fastest-growing state in the country with the youngest population, that’s where our attention should be.

Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani was on the mound during Tuesday’s clash against the Nationals, and amid yet another dominant outing from Los Angeles’s right-hander, home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez couldn’t help but wonder if the 28-year-old was abiding by the rules.
Ohtani, who uses the PitchCom system to call his game on the mound, was questioned by Marquez as to whether he had a foreign substance located under his armpit.

With the myriad of coaching hires Alabama made during the offseason, two made less noise than the additions of offensive and defensive coordinators. Saban added former NFL head coach Ken Whisenhunt to its staff directory as one of the team’s special assistants to the head coach in February before adding former Crimson Tide star Ha Ha Clinton-Dix as a player development coach. Whisenhunt, who spent the past two seasons as an offensive analyst at Penn State, served as a head coach for eight seasons with the Arizona Cardinals (2007-12) and Tennessee Titans (2014-15).

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been noncommittal when it comes to naming New England’s starting quarterback in 2023, refusing to declare incumbent Mac Jones as the starter for the upcoming campaign. 
Bailey Zappe figures to be in the conversation for the starting job, if it truly is up for grabs, and the former Western Kentucky quarterback indicated that he’d be eager to take advantage of any opportunity he receives.
With uncertainties surrounding Jones’s grasp over the starting job, Zappe was asked about his thoughts on an “open competition” at the quarterback position.

Do not, under any circumstances call Shaq the C-word.
… No, not that one. We’re talking about the word “celebrity.”
Shaq spoke to People and said he swore off that term decades ago because he didn’t want to be associated with them.
“I denounced myself from being a celebrity thirty years ago because a lot of celebrities are a–holes,” he told People.
“I don’t want to be in that category. I’d rather demote myself to being just a regular person before you call me a celebrity and put me in the category of those jerk-offs.

The Green Bay Packers’ potential desired compensation for Aaron Rodgers is swirling.

In the wake of their first National League pennant since 2009, the Phillies have struggled out of the gate to begin 2023. Philadelphia is 4–7, three and a half games behind the first-place Braves in the NL East.
During the Phillies’ 8–4 loss to the Marlins on Tuesday, however, things went off the rails in a different fashion.
The team’s dollar-dog night promotion spiraled into a hail of hot dogs as fans appeared to hurl frankfurters at each other throughout the contest.

We get that Isiah Thomas is enjoying his moment in the spotlight, but what the heck is he thinking?
One of the OG “Bad Boy” Pistons appeared for an interview on ESPN’s Keyshawn, JMax & Max Show and put on a bit that went on for way too long and was a comedic misfire.
Were they attempting to be funny?
Was Isiah Thomas seriously distraught?
Did Max Kellerman pull out a dull race joke?
Was Isiah Thomas Mad At ESPN?
During his commentary on the program, Isiah Thomas pointed out that the photo used by the ESPN broadcast made him look “upset” and asked the producers to change the image.

Who doesn’t love a great feel-good story in sports? That’s Jeffery Simmons. The Tennessee Titans gave Simmons a massive $94 contract million extension last week with $66 million guaranteed.
The Titans drafted Simmons with the 19th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Simmons starred at Mississippi State before entering the draft. Before that, he won back-to-back state championships at Noxubee County High School in Mississippi.
Simmons is a two-time NFL All-Pro and has rewarded the Titans for taking him in the first round. In turn, they rewarded him with a big-money contract.
