For the first time ever there will be a Manchester derby in the FA Cup final after Manchester United beat Brighton on penalties in Sunday’s semifinal. United’s form may have been patchy of late and there were times at Wembley when it was clinging on, but it has the chance of completing a domestic double in the final on June 3. Perhaps more importantly, it can also deny Manchester City a treble.
United, having gone out of the Europa League with a limp defeat away to Sevilla on Thursday, looked just as weary as it has generally in recent weeks.

I have a complicated relationship with soccer. I love the World Cup and I watched almost every match. But it’s hard to get excited about the MLS and I just can’t do the whole European soccer thing. Leave that for the “cool” hipsters who love telling you about how great European soccer is.

After hitting a lull in recent weeks, the Packers and Jets reportedly are revisiting their talks in regard to an expected blockbuster deal for quarterback Aaron Rodgers ahead of the start of the 2023 NFL draft.
Green Bay and New York “recently re-engaged” in conversations regarding a long-rumored deal for Rodgers, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Sunday. A deal involving the four-time MVP is not imminent, per Rapoport, but the two sides are discussing the move with the hope of reaching an agreement in the coming days.

Spring games are supposed to be fun, casual and light on contact. Apparently, nobody told Alabama safety Jake Pope. 
The annual exhibition games across college football rarely show hard—especially brutal—hits, but the Crimson Tide defensive back just couldn’t help himself when a pass was about to be made in his vicinity. 
Wide receiver Jermaine Burton couldn’t haul in a pass on the right sideline with the ball bouncing off his fingertips. While he was trying to recover the ball during the play, Pope came out of nowhere and absolutely leveled him, sending him out of bounds.
