Love is ready to step in as the Packers’ starting quarterback.

Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III officially pleaded guilty to one count of DUI resulting in death and one count of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in Nevada’s Clark County on Wednesday, according to ESPN, following the 2021 car crash that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog.
The 24-year-old is expected to receive his official sentence on Aug. 9. He will serve anywhere from three to 10 years in a Nevada state prison. Until Aug.

Regis Prograis served as his own manager as he was in free agency. He came down to either Matchroom Sport and Top Rank, and chose Matchroom after much consternation. He’ll return to the ring on June 17 against Liam Paro.

Draymond Green and the Warriors have their backs against the wall in their second-round series against the Lakers, but the outspoken star doesn’t seem too concerned about Golden State’s predicament.
Green laid out his mindset heading into the first of potentially three win-or-go-home games Wednesday night on his podcast, The Draymond Green Show.
“Guess what? It’s the first to four. Not the first to three,” Green said. “Whether it’s 3–1, 3–0, no matter. That’s the reason it’s a seven-game series: It’s the first to four, and we understand that.

If you’ve been watching the NBA on TNT crew this week then you probably know that Shaquille O’Neal had some bad math about the Knicks and how many sets of clothes they should bring to Miami if they are able to force a Game 6 against the Heat. 
The NBA legend had his coworkers Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in hysterics as he tried to make a point about how the Knicks would need to just pack one set of clothes because they wouldn’t be there for long. Of course, they would only need one set of clothes, because either way they’d only be in Miami for just one game.

West Virginia University released a statement Wednesday shortly after outlining punishment for men’s basketball coach Bob Huggins in the aftermath of his use of an anti-LGBTQ slur aimed at Xavier basketball fans during a radio interview on Monday.
The university declared that Huggins’s comments were “inexcusable” and served as a moment that “unfairly and inappropriately hurt many people and has tarnished West Virginia University.”
As part of Huggins’s punishment, his yearly salary will be reduced by $1 million.

Jordan Love said Wednesday he approached this offseason as if he was going to be the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.
No different than last year.
Or the previous year.
Except this year it’s going to happen because Aaron Rodgers has been traded to the New York Jets. So the preparation that hasn’t changed comes in advance of an assignment that’s definitely different.
And that assignment of being the Packers’ new starting quarterback might have solidified itself for Love when he and Rodgers said their good-byes.
Aaron Rodgers voices support for Jordan Love.

Harrison Bader and the Yankees received what appears to be an absolute gift in the first inning of Wednesday’s game against the Athletics.
The gift came via a fan in the right field bleachers. With New York up 1–0 and runners on first and third, Bader hit a 1–1 pitch high and deep to right. Oakland right fielder JJ Bleday drifted back to the wall positioning his glove directly under the blast to make the catch.
However, a Yankees fan reached over the wall into the field of play, preventing Bleday from making the catch.

Anyone holding onto any hope that Tiger Woods would be making a surprise appearance in next week’s PGA Championship was disappointed on Wednesday when the field for the major championship was announced.
Woods announced on April 19 that he had undergone a subtalar fusion procedure to address arthritis from his previous talus fracture. The news of Woods going under the knife yet again came just over a week after he withdrew from the Masters citing that he had re-aggravated his plantar fasciitis.

So, Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats gets nothing for ridiculous comments and behavior regarding at least three of his players at the scene of a murder near the Alabama campus last January.
