There’s growing sentiment inside the Jets that the team is actually going to be able to trade for Aaron Rodgers. Jets’ owner Woody Johnson traveled to California to meet with Rodgers this week to sit down and discuss whether he’d be happy to come to New York, and according to recent reports those meetings went well.

The Toronto star went on an F-bomb-laden rant about an official and officiating around the NBA.
The Raptors lost a tough one in Los Angeles to the Clippers on Wednesday night, 108–101, and after the game star point guard Fred VanVleet was not afraid to take aim at game official Ben Taylor in an F-bomb-laden rant during his press conference.
Taylor called a technical foul on VanVleet midway through the third quarter, the third that the official has assessed the guard this season.

A pair of young Braves and the reigning NL MVP are among those whose expectations should be tempered.
Believe it or not, it’s not fun to write a bust list. Who wants to think about players that will not meet expectations?

Plus: a much more tightly-bunched Western conference re-arranges itself once again
It seems like at this point, the East has more true championship contenders – Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and Philadelphia 76ers, though you could make a case for a few others as well – than the West, where every team has real question marks except Denver, although Nikola Jokic has never been to a conference finals yet.

Hayden Buckley wasted no time in setting off fireworks at this year’s Players championship with his hole-in-one on the famed Par 317th at TPC Sawgrass.
While there’s no easy pin location on the island green, Thursday’s front pin is one players can avoid by just hitting the center of the green and not flirt with the water or players can utilize the backstop behind the flag.
Buckley elected for the latter and executed the shot to perfection.
After his golf ball landed a couple of paces behind and to the right of the hole, it caught the slope perfectly before trickling into the cup.

Three NFL agents open up on four key aspects of the Lamar Jackson saga, including the Deshaun Watson deal and parsing between collusion and lying.

NEWS FLASH: Jake Paul is, indeed, not a tough guy.
The social media star turned wannabe star boxer was confronted by Floyd Mayweather Wednesday night after the Miami Heat game, according to TMZ, and he very literally tucked tail and ran away.
As soon as Mayweather and his crew came near him, what appeared to be Paul’s security attempted to play peace maker as the social media star turned boxer turned and fled like his life depended on it.
Even though there was literally no threat at all, Jake Paul was apparently so terrified he had to make a run for it.

The scribes of the language of baseball will need to add a few more characters as MLB undergoes rule changes.
It’s spring training for everyone. Over the last few weeks, MLB players, managers and umpires alike have begun adjusting to a new rulebook, figuring out how to handle changes like a pitch clock and ban on infield shifts.
Well … almost everyone. There’s one more relevant group of people here. They’re not at spring training, but they’ll have to accommodate the new rules all the same, and they’re patiently waiting in their home markets with pens and notebooks in hand.
