LIV Golf queen Jena Sims — who’s also a Sports Illustrated model, I hear — clapped back at the haters with an absolute haymaker after husband Brooks Koepka’s PGA Championship win.
Sims wasn’t in attendance for Brooksie’s big ‘dub, and several haters on social media noticed. Can’t blame them there, because it’s easy to notice when Jena Sims is and isn’t in a room.
Anyway, they took aim at Jena and our girl shot right back like the queen she is. Can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen, losers.

The PAC-12’s fight for a new media deal continues to look very bleak.
Commissioner George Kliavkoff has been doing his best to land a new deal for the conference, but so far, nothing has come to fruition. The PAC-12 is holding out hope ESPN might come in and save the day with a huge check.
There had previously been reports ESPN wasn’t interested in the PAC-12’s tier one media rights, but there was some dispute at the time how accurate that claim was.

ESPN hasn’t moved on the PAC-12.

When will Conor McGregor fight again?
Better yet, will Conor McGregor fight again?
All signs point to McGregor fighting Michael Chandler at the conclusion of The Ultimate Fighter. But, of course, the pertinent question is when that will actually happen.
McGregor last competed in July 2021 against Dustin Poirier. He lost that fight due to doctor stoppage after breaking his tibia in the opening round. Since then, he has operated outside of the USADA testing pool, which was never an issue because he was not actively competing.

ESPN’s Football Power Index ratings are live. Let’s predict the 2023 season, including playoff chances and potential draft order.

Nothing can prepare you for how bad the new ‘White Men Can’t Jump’ is.
Time is a precious commodity, and one that shouldn’t be wasted on the new White Men Can’t Jump. The 2023 remake of the legendary sports comedy film is an extraordinary achievement in stripping almost every positive element out its source material and finding a way to make every wrong decision en route to a pathetic facsimile of something that was great.

Carmelo Anthony has retired from the NBA, ending his 19-year career at No. 9 on the league’s all-time scoring list.

We’re finding “Silver” linings right now friends
A winter of promise is giving way to a summer of discontent for Boston sports fans.
After posting the best regular season in NHL history en route to the Presidents Trophy, the Boston Bruins were bounced out of the opening round of the NHL playoffs by the Florida Panthers. Boston gave up a game-tying goal in the closing seconds of Game 7, and went on to lose in overtime.
Now the Boston Celtics are set to see their season end in rather embarrassing fashion.

A sleepy time in the NFL calendar will get a little pick-me-up from the Twin Cities over the next couple of days, and we’re here for that. Until then …
We’re going to start with Jim Brown the player, and I’ll never forget how my dad talked about him. When I was a kid, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas were among the sport’s brightest stars, and running backs hadn’t yet been devalued. Sanders spent much of that time pacing to break Walter Payton’s rushing record, something Smith eventually wound up doing, and Thomas set the mold for the new age of tailback.

It was 2017. Tensions in the U.S. were high, and Michael Rubin knew it.
Still, the Fanatics CEO, and minority owner of the NBA’s Sixers and NHL’s Devils, saw what was happening to his friend, rapper Meek Mill, and thought it was worth the fight, and all that’d come with it. Meek Mill had been sentenced to two-to-four years in prison for violating probation, a penalty that, in the opinion of Rubin and many others, far outweighed the crime.
The problem for Rubin was that going to bat for the star musician wouldn’t just mean enduring backlash personally.
