When does a relationship need to end, and how do we move on?
Richmond is on a win streak. Everyone is raving about the Greyhounds’ run using “Total Football,” and how overjoyed Ted Lasso must be at his team’s results. Then we cut to an all too familiar scene: Ted, locked deep in depression, having to feign happiness across from his ex-wife and her new lover.
This has always been the way for Ted. The “fish out of water” premise on which Ted Lasso is based, extends to his disjointed emotional rollercoaster.

And now that we’re on the other side of the draft, let’s get to some mail …
From Kevin Costa (@KCosta_41): Who was drafted?
Two hundred and fifty-nine players.

From FootballKennerDe (@KennerFootball): Was the Texans’ trade for Anderson or Stroud?

Houston picked two players back-to-back at Nos. 2 and 3 … so which player was the trade for?

Kenner, this is a really great question, and I’d say it almost had to be Will Anderson Jr.
Now, yes, the reason you’d take C.J. Stroud before him, with the No.

Pitching his first official game in just over 22 months, Trevor Bauer scattered seven hits in seven innings, allowed one run, struck out nine and threw 98 pitches before a Yokohama-record crowd of 33,202.

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones says he is seriously considering retiring after he defends his title against Stipe Miocic, a bout being targeted for November in New York.

Former 100-meter world champion and three-time Olympic medalist Tori Bowie has died at the age of 32, while World Athletics also announced that 1996 Olympic medalist Calvin Davis has died at the age of 51.

Former Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb is expected to agree to a one-year deal with the Jets, reuniting with Aaron Rodgers in New York, sources told ESPN.

The 2023 NFL draft has come and gone, so we now have a clear idea of what a lot of the team rosters and depth charts will look like when training camps open. It also means we can now better project fantasy draft values and player rankings. With that said, here’s my updated look at every position as we inch closer to the summer.
I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which include those players who remain free agents (FA). At the quarterback position, Aaron Rodgers isn’t a member of the Packers for the first time in his career.

Trevor Bauer’s first start with the DeNA BayStars could not have been much better. The 32-year-old former Cy Young Award winner gave up just one run and earned the win against the Hiroshima Toyo Carp on Wednesday.
Bauer joined the Nippon Professional Baseball league on a one-year, $3(ish) million deal back in March. It could be worth up to $4(ish) million with incentives if he continues to pitch as well as he did in his debut.

The Knicks-Heat rivalry runs deep.
Power struggles. Provincial rivalries. Changed allegiances. Fax machines. Mentors vs. pupils. The Big Apple. Fine Italian menswear. Off-the-rack suits. Toxic masculinity. Camaraderie. South Beach. Victorious underdogs. Fallen Goliaths. Boos. Body slams. Haymakers. Fines. Suspensions. Slapstick comedy.
Basketball? Sure, there was some of that too when the New York Knicks and the Miami Heat squared off in four consecutive postseasons from 1997 through 2000.

Tori Bowie, a three-time Olympic medalist and 2017 World 100-meter champion, has passed away at the age of 32. The Mississippi native’s management company and USA Track and Field confirmed the sad news on Wednesday.
“We’ve lost a client, dear friend, daughter, and sister. Tori was a champion…a beacon of light that shined so bright! We’re truly heartbroken and our prayers are with the family and friends,” Icon Management shared on Twitter.
