Charles Barkley dished on his frustrations with LeBron James floating retirement rumors during an appearance Friday on The Pat McAfee Show.
The TNT analyst, asked whether he believed James might actually retire, strongly dismissed that possibility, saying “hell no” before explaining what bothered him about the situation.
“I love LeBron, but he knew what he was doing,” Barkley said. “I don’t think he should have said anything about [retirement].

It’s a Memorial Day tradition. A Slice of Americana. The Greatest Spectacle In Racing.
We’re talking about the one, the only, Indianapolis 500.
The race is a Memorial Day weekend tradition, and — if you can work it into your schedule and/or budget some year — it’s something every sports fan should attend at least once. It’s just incredible.
Whether you’ve been keeping up with the NTT IndyCar Series or not (you should be though; it’s great) you’re bound to at least check in on the race Sunday afternoon.

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden worked with Saints offensive coaches and quarterback Derek Carr this week, Jeff Duncan of NOLA.com reports.
Gruden and Carr worked together with the Raiders for parts of four seasons from 2018 to ’21. Gruden resigned from his role as Raiders head coach after five games in 2021 amid the release of a report by The New York Times that showed he used misogynistic, racist and anti-LGBTQ language in a series of emails.

The wrestling world is well familiar with Naomi, yet it has never encountered a force like Trinity.
Trinity Fatu, who starred previously as Naomi, has brought her talents to Impact Wrestling. Her debut match in the company against KiLynn King illustrated a range that she was rarely afforded the time to explore in WWE, where she had worked since 2009.
“I had a great journey in WWE,” says Fatu, who is using just her first name as her ring name in Impact. “That was my introduction to wrestling, and it was a great 14 years with the company. I thought I would retire with WWE.

Less than a week after her historic back-to-back individual national championship, Stanford’s star golfer, Rose Zhang announced she will turn pro.
Rose Zhang’s collegiate career is over as the back-to-back NCAA individual national title winner announced on Friday she is turning professional. She will make her debut at host Michelle Wie West’s inaugural Mizuho Americas Open at Liberty National Golf Club in New Jersey next week.

Public opinion of Russell Wilson is at an all-time low.
No one has faith in this guy — and that includes Wilson’s former teammate KJ Wright.
Appearing on NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” Thursday, Wright said he’s not sure how the quarterback will handle Sean Payton’s tough coaching style.
He even suggested Wilson might have been coddled in Seattle under head coach Pete Carroll.
“This is going to be a sight to see,” Wright said.

The Celtics continue to stave off elimination. After dropping the first three games of the Eastern Conference Finals to the eighth-seeded Heat, No. 2 Boston won both Games 4 and 5 by double digits to keep alive the slim hope of pulling off the first-ever 3–0 comeback in NBA history.
Miami now heads back to South Florida for Game 6, where it will be a 3-point underdog in front of its fans with the opportunity to return to the Finals with a win or risk going back to TD Garden for what’s sure to be a raucous Game 7 on Monday.

Pat McAfee has received some hate from those questioning why he would decide to take himself and his wildly successful show to ESPN. Charles Barkley has seen some of the criticism the former NFL punter has taken and offered up some advice for McAfee on how to combat the haters.
Barkley joined ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Friday and after the two exchanged some pleasantries, the Hall of Famer told McAfee he needs to simply tell his haters to “shut the f-ck up.

It’s no secret the Arizona Cardinals have been trying to trade wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and no secret no team has shown enough interest to make a deal because assuming his contract is a bad idea. That no longer matters.
The Cardinals on Friday announced they released Hopkins outright.
Although we are only days away from June 1 and waiting a few days or designating the release as post-June 1 would have spread the $22.6 million cap hit of the release over two seasons, the Cardinals didn’t do that.
The Cardinals are going to be bad this season and they apparently know it.
