Yes, this is real — and it’s SPECTACULAR.
We learned earlier this year that Marshawn Lynch would be making his Hollywood debut, but even knowing that we weren’t ready for what happened on Tuesday when Lynch dropped the trailer for Bottoms.

The team behind the movie made Pitch Perfect and Cocaine Bear, so you know EXACTLY where this one is falling tonally.

Al Albert hopped on top of a table, courtside, surrounded as bedlam threatened far more than his game notes. Even for a member of America’s first family of broadcasting, this marked a first (nearly trampled by a court storming) and a most (ridiculous postgame ever).
Backing up a few hours: He never could have anticipated this. On May 13, 1976, the Nets trailed the Nuggets in a basketball finals series by 22 points late in the third quarter. David Thompson couldn’t stop scoring (42 points). Dan Issel couldn’t stop multitasking (30 points, 20 rebounds). The Nets led the series, 3–2.

Wednesday will mark three months until the 2023 NFL season opener and spreads are already out for all 16 Week 1 games.
Some of the league’s top teams are set to clash in the first regular-season action of the year, which makes for some interesting matchups, specifically from a bettor’s point of view. Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs begin the year at home against Jared Goff’s Lions on Thursday Night Football and Aaron Rodgers’s Jets host Josh Allen’s Bills on Monday Night Football to bookend the opening weekend of the season.

The Reds announced on Tuesday they called up top prospect Elly De La Cruz to the major leagues, placing Nick Senzel on the injured list to make room.
De La Cruz, primarily a shortstop, is the No. 4 ranked prospect in all of baseball according to MLB Pipeline. The 21 year-old infielder first signed with Cincinnati in 2018 and has spent the past four seasons in the team’s minor league system.
In 38 games for AAA Louisville, De La Cruz has a 1.031 OPS with 12 home runs, 36 RBIs and 11 stolen bases.

The NFL is increasing efforts to educate players and others about its gambling policy, a source told OutKick on Tuesday, on the heels of multiple players being suspended for gambling last month and several others becoming the subject of ongoing investigations into their gambling activities.
Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera said Tuesday the league will conduct a presentation to his team to explain the gambling policy and answer questions.
The Commanders recently lost defensive end Shaka Toney to an indefinite suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy.

Dan Campbell has nothing but high praise for Lions QB Jared Goff.
Goff had a surprisingly impressive 2022-23 season. His play was critically important down the stretch as the Lions finished 8-2 in the team’s final 10 games to finish 9-8. The Lions just barely missed out on the postseason, and while that was painful, the franchise is clearly trending up.
The team’s quarterback was a huge part of that last season, and Dan Campbell thinks Goff’s play has come a long way since his time with the Los Angeles Rams.

A sit-down with the Hall of Fame guard and former Heat player.
Despite only coming into existence 35 years ago, the Miami Heat already have a storied franchise history. And it all started in the 2006 NBA Playoffs when the team went on their first of three NBA Championship runs.
Before Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, before the superteam Miami Heatles, there was Dwayne Wade, Shaquille O’Neal, and their cast of veteran role players.

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is going viral again for giving a controversial description of Nuggets star center Nikola Jokić on Tuesday’s episode of First Take.
While discussing that Jokić isn’t the hardest NBA player to guard in the league right now, Smith described Jokić as a “big tub of lard.” This phrasing comes just days after Skip Bayless of Fox Sports was roasted for referring to the Serbian center as a “big tub of Crisco.”
Fans seem generally annoyed with this consistent description of the two-time NBA MVP.
