A Q&A with actor and Jaguars fan Asher Grodman on Jacksonville’s perfect schedule release video.
Asher Grodman has been a Jaguars fan since the team opened in 1995. The actor and producer best known for his role in the CBS hit comedy “Ghosts” was born in New York, but became a Jaguars fan because his father was a fan of the Detroit Lions, and jokingly said that Grodman needed to find a new team to root for.

As Phoenix bows out of the playoffs, the work begins to build a title contender around Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Big changes could be coming.
While appearing on Gilbert Arenas’s show Gil’s Arena, former NBA player Kenyon Martin offered a bizarre take regarding current Knicks power forward Julius Randle‘s choice to celebrate with his wife at the conclusion of New York’s Game 5 victory over Miami.
Martin took issue with Randle seeking out and choosing to kiss his wife, who was sitting courtside, immediately after the win rather than celebrating in the “moment” with his Knicks’ teammates.
“I saw something last night at the end of the game and it bothered me,” said Martin.
From his perch on the set of Inside the NBA, Shaquille O’Neal holds a powerful platform, one he has used to speak his mind regularly. Over the years he has leveled criticism toward JaVale McGee, Dwight Howard and, more recently, Donovan Mitchell, who O’Neal, in 2021, declared doesn’t have what it takes to get to the next level. (Mitchell’s response when confronted with the critique by O’Neal in a postgame interview: “All right.”) O’Neal’s colleague Charles Barkley—no stranger to player criticism—believes some of today’s players are too sensitive.
More than half the field had completed the third round of the NCAA Division III women’s golf championship on Thursday before organizers ultimately decided to cancel the round. After seeing the outrageous playing conditions and the pin location on one hole in particular, it’s easy to see why.
The short Par 4 sixth hole at Mission Inn & Resort’s El Campeon Golf Course in Florida was the culprit of the cancelation. A number of videos showing players hitting a putt and having it roll back to their feet were posted on social media.
Rodney Velardi, the manager of Atlantic Cape Community College in New Jersey, resigned from his role as the program’s coach after 13 seasons.
Velardi’s resignation came on May 4, nearly two weeks removed from an 11–4 loss to Rowan College Gloucester County in which two of his players had illegal communication devices found in their helmets.
Rowan freshman pitcher Ethan Dodd approached his coaches following the first game of the team’s series with Atlantic Cape on Apr. 21 after he felt that he may have been tipping his pitches.
Denver Nuggets rookie Christian Braun nearly lost a shocking amount of money for parking in the wrong spot.
Braun was a first round pick for the Nuggets in the 2022 NBA Draft, but before he saw his first check, he nearly lost a shocking amount of money.
The problem? He parked in owner Stan Kroenke’s spots for just a couple minutes.

“I’m about to get dressed and there’s a piece of paper on my chair and it was a $15,000 fine.
Is the crackdown of the crackdown of sticky substances working? In a word, yes. But like spin rates themselves, there is more intrigue beneath the surface.
First, a refresher on the policing of spin. In May 2021, with the MLB batting average down to an all-time low of .236, the league announced a crackdown effective June 1 on pitchers using sticky substances as a performance enhancer to generate more spin. The use of Spider Tack and such gooey grip aids had grown so ridiculous that players could hear pitches ripping off the sticky fingers of pitchers, like Velcro.
Georgia announced this week that it declined an invitation to the White House to celebrate the football team’s 2022 national championship. There were some who made the assumption that this was political, but head coach Kirby Smart put that notion to bed this week.
After receiving a formal invitation on May 3 to visit Washington D.C. in June, the Bulldogs declined the invitation due to scheduling. This took many by surprise, but if you look at previous visits from college football champions, it’s easy to see why Georgia said no thanks.
Well, it’s finally out.

And now we’re on to more important matters: spending an astronomical amount of money to watch the games live.
The average NFL ticket price is currently the highest among all American sports. This is likely due both to the NFL’s popularity and the fact that they play significantly less games than they do in other leagues.
