In what can only be described as a circus-like exit, John Calipari has officially announced his resignation at Kentucky, in one of the worst kept secrets in college basketball. Now, his path to Arkansas can officially begin. 
If you’re wondering why this has played out since Sunday, look no further than how events have transpired over the last few weeks in Lexington. While the college basketball universe sat and waited for this hire to become official, it was as if Calipari was sticking it to Kentucky and athletic director Mitch Barnhart one last time on his way out the door.

Calipari said goodbye to a Kentucky program he helped reinvigorate.
In a more than three minute video posted to social media, basketball coach John Calipari said his goodbyes to the University of Kentucky.
Citing the need for a “new voice” to lead the program, the long-time coach announced he was stepping away from the school, bringing to a close a tenure that lasted over a decade in Lexington. Calipari noted that at the end of the season and after some discussions with his wife, they have come to realize that “ … this program probably needs to hear another voice.

It was supposed to be a routine pre-draft press conference for the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, with general manager Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh giving reporters some information – but not too much as to give away the whole map of the team’s upcoming course in the draft.
Harbaugh and DeCosta are awesome at this because they’re smart and always interesting enough to make the media happy. But this day, the duo gave up something much more important and lasting:
They told us their philosophy for having a team that chases a championship every year. 
Not some years.

Defending Masters champion Jon Rahm discussed how he feels after moving to LIV Golf before this year’s tournament at Augusta National.
It’s no secret that Jon Rahm has played substantially less since joining LIV Golf.
Thus far in 2024, he has teed it up 15 times on the Saudi-backed circuit and has yet to emerge as an individual winner.
Meanwhile, a season ago, Rahm arrived at Augusta National, having won three times on the PGA Tour. He also played 28 rounds.

During his Tuesday press conference, Tiger Woods expressed his confidence in Rory McIlroy eventually conquering Augusta National.
Tiger Woods, who has five Green Jackets to his name, feels that Rory McIlroy will one day win one of his own.
The Northern Irishman has come close at Augusta National numerous times, with no better opportunity than in 2011. That year, McIlroy, a young major-less 21-year-old, held a four-shot lead going into the final round.

Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee has been among the most-vocal critics of LIV Golf. Whether it be taking aim at players who have joined the league, the fact that it is solely funded by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF), or the simple fact that LIV’s existence has driven a wedge through the middle of professional golf, Chamblee doesn’t appreciate one aspect of the breakaway circuit.

A trio of superstars enters Augusta National Golf Club with expectations that couldn’t be higher and more on the line than a green jacket.

A judge ruled that the Grizzlies’ Ja Morant acted in self-defense when he punched a 17-year-old during a pickup basketball game at his house in Memphis.

Tiger Woods, despite playing only 24 holes of golf in PGA Tour events this season, believes he can win one more green jacket if “everything comes together” at the Masters, where he took practice rounds Tuesday.

Whether or not Kawhi Leonard will play in the 2024 NBA playoffs with his current right knee injury — and what level of health he can reach if he can — are the biggest and most mysterious x-factors in the final week of the regular season.
The Los Angeles Clippers are nearly guaranteed to play the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the NBA playoffs as either the fourth or fifth seed in the Western Conference, but it’s not clear if and when Kawhi Leonard will be in uniform to join them.
