It has increasingly become a move of dissatisfaction from Gen. Z and millennials when they scrub their social media of friends, paramours or even employers. It’s a passive aggressive move that folks accept because, you know, young people.
But it’s really weird when the employer does it.
While the employee is still around.
Meet the Minnesota Vikings.
Sometime late last week the Vikings official Twitter account and the club’s Facebook page were curiously altered.

The Nuggets were able to hold on at home Tuesday night and beat the Los Angeles Lakers, 132–126, in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals. 
Nikola Jokić led the way once again with another monster night as he finished with 34 points, 21, rebounds and 14 assists. The two-time NBA MVP came out flying early and secured his triple-double with just over six minutes left in the third quarter. 
Jokić and Lakers star center Anthony Davis battled all night and should continue to do the same the rest of this series. Davis finished with a game-high 40 points and 10 rebounds.

The best part about taking an over bet is the possibility that it will cash early. We’ve been lucky enough to celebrate early with our last few over bets, including Tuesday night’s matchup between the Diamondbacks and Athletics. It took 12 innings for Oakland to finally pull off the win, but we knew our ticket had cashed in the bottom of the seventh.
We will go with the over again tonight, but this time at Fenway, where games are averaging 11.36 runs this season — the most of any home stadium in the MLB.

As we move toward the closest thing the NFL has to a true offseason, I thought it would be a good time to separate some fact from fiction about that amorphous thing called the salary cap. There is nothing in the massive machine of NFL information and coverage that is more misrepresented, misdiagnosed and often misinformed than discussion around the cap. Let’s examine what it is and, more importantly, what it isn’t through a few myths, with the theme being: It’s the cash, stupid, not the cap.
Myth No. 1: Cap matters as much as, or even more than, cash
No.

Hi, Jon,
Fábián Marozsán’s straight-set defeat of Carlos Alcaraz was stunning. Coming into the Italian Open, Marozsán had never been in the main draw of an ATP event. He had lost five of his last six challenger circuit matches, had survived the first round of qualifying with a 7–5 third set and had overcome Jiri Lehecka in the round of 64 after trailing 4–2 in a decisive tiebreaker. Alcaraz had won 12 straight matches, looking particularly dominant on clay.

The NFC East is loaded, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if all four teams make the postseason in 2023.
But there are levels, and the Eagles’ and Cowboys’ talented rosters signify it might be a two-team race for the division title.
Having proven quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott certainly helps those two teams maintain competitive rosters, but the Giants made many notable offseason moves (including the deal with Daniel Jones) that should keep them in the mix for the division crown.

Since joining LIV Golf last year, Talor Gooch has earned over $20 million, with a large chunk of his sizable earnings coming from his back-to-back wins earlier this season. While there is no arguing that Gooch has earned life-changing money in an incredibly short period of time, Matt Wallace doesn’t believe that makes his jump to the Saudi-backed circuit justified.
Wallace, who has one PGA Tour victory to his name, recently spoke out about the narrative that LIV players’ (guaranteed) paydays don’t make a move to the rival tour the right one.

Citing safety concerns due to weather and flooding, F1 has canceled the 2023 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
Formula 1 announced on Wednesday morning the cancellation of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
The region around Imola in northern Italy has been battered by heavy rain and flooding in recent days. The track was evacuated for a period of time on Tuesday due to concerns regarding flooding, and a few Alpine team members were force to change hotels due to flooding concerns.

The days of NFL fans complaining about the NFC East hogging the prime-time schedule might be over with a loaded group of teams heading into the 2023 season.
The Eagles and Cowboys will be fun to watch after the offseason moves they made to maintain talented rosters. Philadelphia prioritized the draft, while Dallas visited the trading block.
Expect the Giants to be in the race for the division title after making several impressive offseason moves, including a promising draft class and a new cast of pass catchers for quarterback Daniel Jones.

Sauce Gardner entered the NFL as the flashy cornerback from Cincinnati boasting about not allowing a single touchdown during three college seasons and referring to himself as the “Chosen One.”
Gardner enjoys the spotlight and quickly displayed he thrived under it. The Jets’ No. 4 pick in the 2022 draft delivered a historic rookie season en route to being named the Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Many years might go by before another defensive rookie matches the high expectations Gardner exceeded last season.
