Hicks, a former first-round draft pick, came to the Yankees in 2015 via trade.

The Canadian is in the final group of a major on the weekend for the first time in his career.
For the first time in 20 years, a Canadian has a share of the 36-hole lead at a major championship.
Corey Conners, a native of Listowel, Ontario, Canada, shot 67 on Thursday and a 68 on Friday to sit at 5-under for the PGA Championship at Oak Hill.

In the midst of a historic season, Manchester City has added yet another piece of silverware to its trophy cabinet.
The defending Premier League champions clinched the club’s seventh ever title with with Arsenal’s 1–0 loss to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, continuing their reign of dominance in English soccer that has sustained since manager Pep Guardiola joined in 2016.

If you thought Al Michaels sounded miserable calling Thursday Night Football games last year, you were spot on.
The 78-year-old firecracker of a broadcaster told Pat McAfee Friday he essentially gave up trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t.
My words — not Al’s. Although I’m not far off!
“It’s just a matter of, a lot of the games we had weren’t very good,” he said. “So if I didn’t sound excited…If I sounded too excited, people would go, ‘Oh, he’s just trying to sell this crap.’ No! Can’t do that and I won’t do that. I think that’s been my M.O.

From his earliest years in the NFL, 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey served as a focal point of the Panthers‘ offense. He could run, he could catch, and from time to time he even demonstrated an ability to throw.
However, Carolina’s inconsistent quarterback play from 2017 to ’22 prevented it taking the next steps, and McCaffrey was traded to San Francisco on Oct. 21, 2022.

Is there a better way to start a Saturday morning than by enjoying the full Jordan Spieth experience?
Of course not!
Spieth teed off in terrible conditions to start his third round at the PGA championship, and promptly hit his ball straight into the crapper.
That’s right. Spieth’s nugget landed in the porta-potty section, leading to a temporary immovable obstruction relief. Nothing like some complete evacuation to start our weekends!

These are the moments we live for, I will never forget this.

ROCHESTER, NY — Scottie Scheffler plays a shot on the 17th hole during the second round of the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club on May 19, 2023. | Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler, despite entering the weekend of the PGA Championship tied for the lead, made a shocking admission Friday.
On Friday, the beastly par four 6th hole at Oak Hill played 0.75 shots above par, ranking as one of the most challenging holes at a PGA Championship over the past 20 years.

Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla is apparently absolutely obsessed with the movie “The Town.”
The 2010 film with Ben Affleck and Jeremy Renner follows a group of bank robbers in Boston. The gritty action drama was one of the roles that helped Affleck inject new life into his career and propel Renner to superstar status.

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 13 years since it first hit theaters. Over that time period, it’s definitely stuck with Mazzulla.

If Ben Simmons ever started taking 3-pointers regularly, he would look like what we are seeing from LeBron James in the NBA Playoffs.
Le-Brick has missed his last 19 straight 3-pointers in the fourth quarters of the Lakers’ 14 playoff games this postseason. He made his first one against Memphis and 1 of 20 since for .05%. The Lakers won their first two series against Memphis and Golden State despite his tired arches, but they are down 2-0 going into a critical game Saturday in Los Angeles (8:30 p.m., ABC).

A road standing ovation, media attention, celebrities and a visit from Vice President Kamala Harris were part of the Mercury star’s WNBA return.
