Mike Cole was in the building for Jordan’s first game with the Chicago Bulls. Decades later, he realized his ticket to the game was a potential goldmine. This is the story behind his decision to finally let go.

Xavier sits on the 4-line in Mike DeCourcy’s updated NCAA Tournament projections, despite being without star big man Zach Freemantle for the remainder of the season.

There’s an important reason why quarterback Deshaun Watson is reportedly open to a restructuring of his contract. He has no choice. Per a source with knowledge of the contract, the Browns have the right to convert “any portion” of Watson’s compensation (salary, bonuses, etc.) into a signing bonus, in any year of the contract.

Yes, this could really be happening now.
The concept of Aaron Rodgers finding a way to the New York Jets has been entirely speculative up to this point and based on loose connections, like the team hiring Nathaniel Hackett — paired with their dire need for a top tier quarterback.
Things have now taken a turn, and this can be firmly upgraded from wild rumor to absolute possibility.

Per sources. Aaron Rodgers and the Jets had conversations today.

It’s no secret that the threat of LIV Golf has forced the PGA Tour’s hand into making various changes, and now that the Saudi-backed circuit has been around for a full season, Tour players are openly thanking LIV for how it has impacted the Tour.
Jon Rahm is the latest PGA Tour star who has tipped his cap in the direction of LIV Golf.
Speaking ahead of this week’s Players championship – the flagship event of the Tour – the Spaniard shared his honest assessment of the situation.

In the world of competitive sports, athletes must do anything and everything to set themselves apart from anyone else.
When it comes to professional roster slots, there are only so many that are available – with literally hundreds of thousands of really good players that will never make it to that top level.
Enter: University of Oregon junior baseball player Rikuu Nashida.
The second baseman quickly made a name for himself this past weekend not only for his production ON the field, but HOW he did it.

Oilers general manager Ken Holland deserves credit for the trades he made ahead of the NHL deadline, bringing in defenceman Mattias Ekholm from the Nashville Predators and forward Nick Bjugstad from the Arizona Coyotes. Holland said goodbye to a first-round pick, Tyson Barrie and Edmonton’s 2022 first-round draft pick Reid Schaefer as the Oilers, led by Connor McDavid, prepare to make a legitimate run at the Stanley Cup.

Sluggers that were shifted on the most could see a rise in batting average, on-base percentage.
Major League Baseball has made a series of rule changes for the upcoming season in order to speed up the pace of play and potentially increase offensive output for the league.

It’s slim pickings for teams who need a WR this year.
I’ve got some bad news if you were hoping for wide receiver relief for your team in free agency. The 2023 class of available players is weak beyond all belief as teams have rushed to sure-up the position before risking players hitting free agency and getting colossal offers.

The NFL offseason is in full swing now that the combine is over. Free agency is looming. Rumors are swirling everywhere. And this beautifully chaotic time could ramp up even more if two legendary quarterbacks find a way to make a couple of moves.

But what we don’t know, at least for sure, is what’s in their respective NFL futures.
