It’s official — Ross Chastain has a full-blown NASCAR mutiny on his hands, and the pitchfork-wielding mob seemingly gets a new member each week.
Welcome to the team, Kyle Larson! And hey, while we’re at it, let’s go ahead and welcome Rick Hendrick, too!
The former called Ross the Boss a “hack” after yet another wreck, while the latter stated the obvious: Wreckin’ Ross is gonna have a hard time winning a championship with all the enemies he’s making.
We’ll get to those two pissed off fellas here in a bit.

Is it worth it? No it isn’t.
As the NBA approaches the conference finals, where former MVPs and marquee franchises should be the center of attention, a young star’s fall from grace is again dominating the headlines. And this time, while some are still supporting Ja Morant, the calls for patience and understanding are being replaced by resounding disappointment and anger.
Even supporters of the Memphis Grizzlies and their young “leader” understand the old adage “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

This is the sexy future we’ve been waiting for.

Plus: The real MVP falters for yet another second-round exit in 112-88 loss
Jayson Tatum continues to shut a lot of doubters up this postseason, showing on Sunday just how much of a killer-instinct he has. Boston had a three-point lead at the half, relying on Tatum for nearly half their points and assists. Tatum was having an MVP-type performance against the officially-named MVP Joel Embiid, who had just 13 points at the time.

In the third quarter, Tatum outscored the Sixers by himself, 17-10, which included four threes on 71.4% shooting overall.

Tristan Vizcaino, who has only attempted 12 field goals in his NFL career, is the only kicker on Dallas’s roster, and Fassel made it clear the Cowboys aren’t satisfied with the situation. 
“We have Tristan on the roster. Anybody else on Earth who is not on the team right now, is under consideration,” Fassel said with a laugh.
