The Bills have signed veteran running back Latavius Murray to a one-year contract, the team announced Monday.

The Giants received rave reviews for their selections in last week’s NFL draft. Sports Illustrated’s Connor Orr assessed their draft as an A-minus, but the team’s leadership apparently thinks very little of draft grades. In fact, general manager Joe Schoen downplayed positive reviews of the team’s draft class.
“You don’t win games in April,” Schoen said, per NFL.com.

Looking to get in on the action for Monday’s MLB slate? Here are a few trends to consider before placing your wagers.
The Blue Jays have been hot, winning seven of their last 10 contests, and today they match up with the Red Sox at Fenway. The Red Sox have exceeded expectations and are only 3.5 games behind Toronto, but tonight they are starting Corey Kluber, who has been a disaster so far this season with an ERA of 6.75. On the other side is Jose Berrios, who has an ERA of 4.

The Georgia Bulldogs are the proud owner of a very impressive record.
A total of 10 Georgia players were selected Thursday through Saturday as the 2023 NFL Draft unfolded, with Jalen Carter being the most notable at nine to the Eagles. Two other UGA players went in the first round and Stetson Bennett was picked surprisingly high by the Rams to name a few more notable selections.
The 10 picks wasn’t as impressive as the Bulldogs having 15 players come off the board last year, but it helped set a record for a two year window.
Jalen Carter went ninth overall to the Eagles.

Tony Finau was able to hold off Jon Rahm to win the Mexico Open over the weekend, but the biggest storylines surrounding both players involve family and big-picture accomplishments.
On the other side of the globe, Talor Gooch went back-to-back on LIV Golf earning a win in Singapore. His month of April will certainly be one he, and his bank account, remember for a long time.
You can’t talk LIV Golf these days without mentioning the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), which has officially hit the point of being completely obsolete in the grand scheme of things.

Plus: The Heat steal Game 1 from the Knicks at MSG.
Warriors end Kings’ dream season behind 50 from Steph, win 120-100
There may not be a better basketball player in the world than Steph Curry when he’s facing elimination. I don’t have the stats to back that up, necessarily. But all I really need to point to is his performance in Sunday’s Game 7 against the Kings. He dropped a playoff career-high 50 points — no one has ever scored more points in a Game 7 — to propel his Warriors into Round 2 and a date with the Los Angeles Lakers.

There teams REALLY helped themselves over the weekend and could surprise.
The 2023 NFL Draft is in the rear view mirror and we now begin the long wait until rookie mini camps open, giving us the first time to see rookies in action.
Draft weekend was unpredictable, just as we thought it might be, but this was also a very quiet year when it came to established player trades.

The Memphis Grizzlies were humbled, and it could be the best thing for their future.
Who has spiraled more aggressively in the eyes of the national NBA landscape over the last calendar year than the Memphis Grizzlies?
In just 365 days, the team has gone from media and NBA darlings viewed as full of swagger and fun to a group of pariahs not welcome in the league’s postseason proceedings. Last year? Trash talking and high-energy play was all the rage as the Grizzlies surprised the NBA elite with their abrupt arrival on the scene.

An 18-year-old Texas A&M–Texarkana baseball player was shot during a game Saturday, according to a Facebook statement by the Texarkana Police Department. The incident occurred at approximately 5:30 p.m. CT at George Dobson Field at Spring Lake Park while the player was standing in the bullpen area. 
“It appears that he [was] struck by a stray bullet from some type of altercation in a nearby neighborhood to the west of the park,” according to the police statement. 
The NAIA game against the University of Houston–Victoria was called, and the player subsequently underwent surgery.
