Carlos Alcaraz is in the zone right now, having won four titles in the last four months.

Now that you’re done with the inside story of Aaron Rodgers’s trade negotiation, here are my takeaways as we enter a slower time in the NFL calendar …
The Lamar Jackson deal is evolutionary, not revolutionary. And the side-by-side of his deal and the deal Jalen Hurts did bears that out, with the caveat that Hurts’s deal was an extension (and folded $1.43 million in cash due for 2023 in with five new years), whereas Jackson’s deal was done from scratch (almost without regard for the franchise tag total).

After Washington reportedly made attempts to learn whether Andrew Luck had any interest in returning to the NFL, Jim Irsay sent warning via a social media post: “It would be a clear violation of the League’s Tampering Policy.

Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was assessed a technical foul late in the second quarter of Game 4 following a bizarre courtside incident that saw the two-time MVP make contact with Suns owner Mat Ishbia as Jokic was attempting to grab the basketball.

The Jets will have a new quarterback this season, acquiring future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers in a massive trade with the Packers. The deal has huge fantasy implications for everyone in the Jets offense, from its backfield to the wide receivers and tight ends. Heck, the move could even make Greg Zuerlein a better fantasy kicker!
But what does this all mean for Rodgers?
Our initial thoughts are all positive because, well, he’s Aaron Rodgers. After all, he’s been a fantasy superstar for most of his career, including MVP campaigns in two of the last three years.

What were the best — and most confusing — selections? Ten experts weighed in on the highs and lows of the draft.

The Favre scandal is still unfolding.
The center of the Brett Favre welfare scandal in Mississippi has been the speaking money paid to him by the state, and how funds were re-routed from the needy into the pockets of some of the state’s most-wealthy residents. However, a side story to the entire scandal has been “Prevacus,” an experimental concussion drug which Favre was instrumental in garnering support for — and now it involves the Trump White House.

How to watch the Connor Bedard show, or as others call it, the 2023 NHL Draft lottery
The next decade of the NHL could be determined tonight, courtesy of 14 pingpong balls.
The 2023 NHL Draft lottery is set for tonight, live from the NHL Network’s studio in Secaucus, New Jersey. 16 teams are entered in the lottery, and the lottery will determine the order for the first 16 selections in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Despite the Suns’ tying up their Western Conference semifinal playoff series, 2–2, against the Nuggets on Sunday night, the game’s outcome wasn’t the biggest topic of conversation Monday morning. Instead, the spotlight is on the viral incident where Denver star center Nikola Jokić was involved in an altercation with Phoenix owner Mat Ishbia, leading to a technical foul on Jokić. 
Jokić could be facing further consequences, but ESPN’s Brian Windhorst thinks it’s “unlikely” the two-time MVP will be suspended for Game 5.

Irsay’s beef with Snyder makes this interesting.
Two of Jim Irsay’s great passions converged over the weekend: Loving Andrew Luck and hating Dan Snyder. News emerged over the weekend that the Commanders had been in contact with the retired quarterback in 2022, seeing if he’d be willing to return to football.
Irsay saw these stories as well.

If any NFL Team,attempted to contact Andrew Luck (or any associate of him)… to play for their Franchise – it would be a clear Violation of the League’s Tampering Policy.
