Auburn running back Brian Battie is making a little progress after surviving a fatal shooting.
Brian was hit in the same shooting that left his brother Tommie dead outside of a mall in Florida back on May 18th. Darryl Brookings was arrested and charged with carrying out the deadly shooting.
The talented Auburn football player has been in the hospital ever since, and had been in very serious condition. Fortunately, it appears he’s turned a corner in his recovery.
After several weeks in a hospital, the Auburn running back is finally showing signs of movement.

Things have gotten pretty ugly in the NTT IndyCar Series, with news that Arrow McLaren has ended their technical alliance with Juncos Hollinger Racing after fans of JHR driver Agustin Canapino sent death threats to McLaren’s Theo Pourchaire on social media.
The two teams struck a commercial alliance last year that saw Arrow McLaren, which had an abundance of sponsors, placing smaller sponsors on JHR’s cars, per RACER.com’s Marshall Pruett. It was a solid deal for both sides, but the teams have announced that it’s over.

Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick got off to a fast start Thursday morning at the Memorial Tournament. He spent a good chunk of the early part of the day in first place after making birdie on two of his first five holes at this week’s PGA Tour stop in Ohio. 
Then, he made a third birdie on the seventh hole, putting him at three-under and in first place by himself. But that’s when the wheels fell off. On the eighth hole at Muirfield Village, the host course of the Memorial Tournament, Fitzpatrick made bogey.

Stay in college as the sport’s top coach at its top program? Or take on the glitz of LeBron and the Lakers? A fascinating choice awaits Dan Hurley.

The report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday explaining the Los Angeles Lakers’ plans to offer a “massive” contract to UConn’s Dan Hurley to become the franchise’s next head coach seemingly came out of nowhere. The most interesting wrinkle in the situation may involve another employer of UConn: Geno Auriemma.
Auriemma, who has been the women’s head basketball coach at UConn since 1985, joined ‘The Dan Patrick Show’ on Thursday shortly after the report linking Hurley to the Lakers took over the internet.

Former NBA player Delonte West is, once again, in trouble with the law.
The former Cleveland Cavaliers guard was arrested Thursday morning in Virginia and booked into the Fairfax County Detention Center on two misdemeanor charges of violating conditions of release and resisting arrest, according to TMZ.
The former pro basketball player is being held on $2,000 bond and is expected to be in court Friday. No exact details are known about what allegedly happened, according to the same TMZ report.
West’s mugshot is also making the rounds, and it’s incredibly troubling.

Sports memorabilia collectors are all in on Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher and Olivia Dunne’s boyfriend, Paul Skenes.
That’s according to Ken Goldin, CEO of the immensely popular and profitable Goldin Collectibles and Goldin Auctions as well as star of Netflix’s “King of Collectibles” series.
“We sold his card a couple of days ago for nearly $100,000 for someone who had pitched just four games in the Major Leagues!” Goldin exclaimed.

I don’t care for the expression, “living your best life,” but I feel like in the case of Flavor Flav, it’s apropos.
The man lives, sleeps, and as you’ll soon see, eats the ethos of being a hype man.
He did it while Chuck D was out doing — let’s be honest — most of the heavy lifting in Public Enemy, and he did it while cheering on Will Power at this year’s Indianapolis 500.
Two years ago, I was watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and they cut to a guy in the crowd and I said, that looks like Flavor Flav.

UFC president Dana White essentially lives his entire life with a camera and a microphone on him, and with that being the case, he’s bound to say something wrong now and again. Well, one of those moments recently came on comedian Andrew Schulze’s podcast, and boy was it a doozy.
With Schulz being a massive UFC fan himself, the two spoke plenty about the mixed martial arts world, but when White began promoting his Power Slap league is when things went off the rails.

The Vikings took a chance on a white uniform like this, but it really works out.
Doing a white uniform in almost every sport is a big risk. Trying to balance the white palate with adding colors to make it pop, while also not adding too much to make it look busy can be the difference between a uniform that misses, and one of the best uniforms in the league. The Minnesota Vikings made that balance look easy, revealing their newest alternate ‘Winter Warrior’ uniforms that look incredibly cool.
