Hey, y’all—happy Tuesday to you. Just in case you’re a normal adult human and avoid making countdown calendars tied to the NBA schedule, there are 19 days left in the regular season. I know because I’ve gone ahead and counted. I genuinely have no clue what’s going to happen once we start the playoffs and I really love it.
That said, some things—like likely award candidates—are starting to come into focus.

The San Diego native joins her hometown team for their second season.
Melanie Barcenas officially became the youngest player in National Women’s Soccer League history when she signed with the San Diego Wave on a three-year deal on Tuesday.
Barcenas is 15 years and 138 days old, making her 100 days younger than Chloe Ricketts, who was the youngest player in NWSL history when she signed with the Washington Spirit a few weeks ago. This means there are now two 15-year-old players in the league.

Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll, Cardinals’ Jordan Walker have the best odds.
Major League Baseball opening day is just over a week away, and It’s time to place your futures bets for National League Rookie of the Year!
There has already been a lot of buzz around some of these top prospects in spring training. A few will have starting jobs from day one, while others will be hard to keep down. The NL seems especially stacked with promising talent, but talent and performance at the big-league level are often two very different things.

You won’t see anything better on the internet today than these classmates going wild.
1. Faithful readers of Traina Thoughts know that we are pro celebration in a big way. We love choreographed celebrations, we love the use of props and we even love taunting.
Sports need more celebrations. Life needs more celebrations.
Today we have a celebration that will brighten the day of even the most miserable people, and it comes from a classroom.
Here’s what we know: One student had the task of answering a math question correctly to get her free time.

Cam Newton is attempting a comeback. Lamar Jackson wants a contract. The two don’t appear related.
But maybe they are?
There are a lot of similarities between Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson. Both rely on elite athleticism to be elite NFL quarterbacks. Both are below-average passers. Jackson is a slightly better passer than Newton, but Newton is much bigger.
Both players are former NFL MVPs. Cam Newton led the 2015 Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl following a 15-1 regular season. Jackson has never advanced past the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.

Louisville basketball star Hailey Van Lith didn’t seem too happy after smashing Texas in the women’s NCAA Tournament.
The Cardinals hammered the Longhorns 73-51 Monday, but the drama wasn’t while the game was happening. Van Lith, who averages more than 19 points a game, exchanged words with Sonya Morris in contentious fashion, but that’s not where it ended.
The star guard went through the rest of the handshake line in what could best be described as childish behavior.

The NHL will have a new on-ice uniform supplier beginning with the 2023-25 NHL season. That supplier will be mega-retailer Fanatics.

Fanatics already has a long-running partnership with the NHL. They produce replica jerseys and off-ice apparel worn by players and coaches.

To better understand the Ed we know, we need to explore the versions that came before.
Ed O’Bannon entered the public eye as a basketball player, but his foremost legacy might be as a plaintiff.
Years after his playing career, O’Bannon saw his own collegiate likeness in a branded video game. Having received zero compensation for the game, or the college basketball career depicted therein, O’Bannon took a historic stand, becoming the face of a class action lawsuit against the NCAA.

The 25-year-old safety revealed how he thinks the roster of his new team stacks up against last year’s Philadelphia squad.
Former Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson may have played for a team that made the Super Bowl last season, but he’s already prepared to say that his new team—the Lions—has more talent on the roster.

The race for the best draft lottery odds is almost as intriguing as the NHL’s playoff races.
