Is this Washington D.C.’s most exciting football moment in decades?
On Saturday, the XFL’s D.C. Defenders clarified that their fans’ beloved “beer snake” will remain legal for the foreseeable future, so long as certain rules are followed.
On Sunday, the Defenders’ fans celebrated accordingly.
As D.C. scored its third win in three games to start the 2023 season, Defenders fans responded by constructing yet another lengthy beer snake at Audi Field in Washington. The new snake quickly went viral during D.C.’s 34–28 victory over the St. Louis BattleHawks.

The league began its investigation in January into incidents involving the pitcher’s three children and their two mothers.

She walked away with not one, but two different autographs.
The 76ers picked up a massive 133–130 road victory against the Bucks on Saturday night to snap Milwaukee’s 16-game win streak.
For one fan, it was about more than just the game on the floor. It was about securing autographs from a former NBA MVP by all means necessary—even if it meant rocking a Bucks jersey in the process.
The young girl, who was sporting a Giannis Antetokounmpo jersey, got to the arena during warm-ups and got her jersey signed by the Milwaukee star as he was walking off the floor before the game.

Sunday’s XFL game between the St. Louis Battlehawks and D.C. Defenders turned ugly in a hurry. It had been chippy all afternoon, but tempers boiled over in the closing minute and an all-out brawl ensued.
After St. Louis scored to cut their deficit to six, they decided to try the XFL alternative to an onside kick— the make-it-take-it option. They had one, untimed down to gain 15 yards.
Quarterback A.J. McCarron dropped back in the pocket and was sacked. In that moment, all hell broke loose.

Here are the top plays from Sunday’s Big East women’s basketball tournament semifinals!

Verstappen and Sergio Perez give Red Bull a 1-2 finish to start the F1 season
A year ago, Red Bull left the Bahrain Grand Prix locked out of the points, looking up at the rest of the field as Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez both failed to finish.
A new year offered a much different story for the team.
After locking out the front row during Saturday’s qualifying session — with Verstappen on the pole and Perez just behind him — the drivers completed the weekend atop the podium.

Major League Baseball will not suspend Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Clevinger following the completion of an investigation into abuse allegations, the league announced Sunday.
Olivia Finestead repeatedly accused Clevinger of physical, verbal and emotional abusive behavior against her and their 10-month-old daughter. She said the incidents occurred last summer while the right-hander played for the San Diego Padres.

There was no flag during the play, but he was hit with a hefty fine after the loss.
The NFL has rescinded the $14,111 fine against Eagles defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson for a tackle during the fourth quarter of February’s Super Bowl, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Gardner-Johnson’s agent, Kevin Conner, confirmed the news to Pelissero.
With 4:29 left in regulation and the game tied at 35, Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco was running up the field when Gardner-Johnson hit him. There was no flag on the play, but Pacheco did leave the game for several plays.
