Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs posted on social media for the first time after agreeing to a three-year, $69 million deal with the New England Patriots.
It was a picture of Patrick Star from the animated hit series “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
Diggs’ visit with the Patriots generated a lot of buzz last week. Wide receiver has been a major position of need for the Patriots, and the thought of the team landing a top-tier talent like Diggs had fans dreaming up possibilities.
Now, they can start appreciating the reality that quarterback Drake Maye has a new No.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been playing some of their worst basketball of the season lately. They have lost three games in a row and seven of their last 10, and their last two losses have come against inferior Chicago Bulls and Orlando Magic teams despite being back at full strength.
On Saturday, the Bulls ran them over by 31 points, and on Monday, the Magic simply outplayed them in the second half en route to a 118-106 decision.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard will likely be sidelined indefinitely, with the team announcing Tuesday night that he has deep vein thrombosis in his right calf and is taking blood-thinning medication.
The Bucks provided the update on the seven-time all-NBA guard’s status without offering a target date for his potential return. Lillard has missed the last three games for the Bucks, who play Wednesday at Denver.
Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel.
“Damian’s health is our No.

NEW YORK — Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau says there’s “no right or wrong” way to distribute minutes over the course of a season — only what works best for a team given its specific circumstances.
“I think each team is different. I think everybody has to run their own race,” Thibodeau said ahead of tipoff against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. “You look at some teams. Some teams are playing more guys. Some teams are playing less guys. There’s no right or wrong. There’s what you feel is best for your team, what gives you the best chance to have the most success.

We’re seven years away from the 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane, Australia. Hell, there’s a whole other Summer Olympics that needs to happen — the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles — before most people even turn their attention to it.
But, as was the case with just about every iteration of the Olympics before it, it’s never too soon to start castrophiszing about ways for the event to go wrong.
Like, I think we talked about all of the poo in the Seine from the moment they announced plans to hold some open-water swimming events in it.

The Golden State Warriors take on the Miami Heat with Jimmy Butler returning to face the team that traded him in January.

Teams have moved quickly this week, and most of the top players in NFL free agency are already off the board just a few days after the new league year officially started on Wednesday.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty of talent still left for your team to sign. Here are some of the best available players still out there.
Bills WR Amari Cooper
Cooper was hurt with the Bills and maybe that’s why he was not a big part of the offense, with 297 yards in eight games. He will be 31 in June but had a 1,250-yard season in 2023 and has been consistently productive.

FISHERS – His future coach called them “Mason moments.”
Pat Narduzzi did not know Mason Alexander long enough to have many. That is the tragedy of a life taken far, far too early. Alexander, just 18 years old, died March 1 when a car he was riding in struck a tree and caught on fire in Fishers.
Alexander, a football and track star at Hamilton Southeastern, had returned home after several weeks at Pitt, where he was preparing for spring football. Narduzzi had recruited him to Pitt, along with position coach Archie Collins.
