Tony Romo was the broadcasting darling for a few years after becoming CBS’s No. 1 NFL analyst in 2017.
Romo had a different style from all the other analysts calling games. Fans and media ate it up. 
However, people’s opinions on Romo started to change in the past couple of years, with criticism reaching a fever pitch late season. It wasn’t just people on Twitter complaining about Romo. The former Cowboys quarterback was taking shots from those who cover media and the NFL.

As if this season couldn’t get any crazier, there was history made in this year’s Play-In Tournament. No 10-seed has ever won any play-in game before this year, and this year two 10-seeds won their first game. Including Atlanta beating Miami on Tuesday, road teams are now 3-1 in this postseason.

Through growing pains and a depleted Magic roster, the rookie learned what it takes to excel and how he can reach another level.

The Aaron Rodgers saga this offseason has had all sorts of twists and turns, and whether the Packers quarterback admits it or not, he certainly appears to love being the center of the never-ending NFL news cycle.
First, it was whether or not Rodgers wanted to play for Green Bay or retire. Next, it was whether or not he wanted to play for the Jets if he chose to continue playing. And ever since he said he wanted to be in New York, it’s been nothing but waiting for Jets general manager Joe Douglas.

In case you were wondering, Florida will hold its Spring game tonight. For Gator fans, this will be the first public viewing of what life will look like without Anthony Richardson taking snaps. Stay calm is the best advice I can give you, with this battle heading for the summer.
Sure, Richardson wasn’t around long enough in Gainesville for fans of college football to get a full glimpse at what could’ve been for Florida. But don’t worry Florida fans, he’ll bring enough attention to the football program over the next few weeks in the NFL Draft.

The strings. You must notice the strings. If there was one tangible piece of evidence in spring training camp that best captured how Chris Young is going to rebuild the Rangers, it is those strings.
They are a pair of parallel, yellow strings strung tautly across the bottom of the strike zone in front of the home plates corresponding with the six-pack of bullpen mounds.
Such strings were once a staple of camps, no more famously than behind the clubhouse at Dodgers camp in Vero Beach, Fla.

A golf ball that Tiger Woods used during his runaway win at the 1997 Masters has sold at auction for over $64,000.
While there is no arguing that the golf ball is a piece of golf history, the details about the artifact make the price tag seem extremely high.
Julian Nexsen was the seller of the golf ball and was just nine years old when Woods handed him the ball at Augusta National in ’97. It wasn’t the golf ball Woods used on the final hole of the tournament, however, it was the ball he used on the fifth hole during the final round, a hole he actually made a bogey on.

The Green Bay Packers and New York Jets are reportedly at an impasse when it comes to dealing Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers made it clear in March during an interview with Pat McAfee he wants to continue his NFL career with the Jets.
The proclamation sent shockwaves through the NFL world, but since then, there’s been very little public movement. In fact, there’s been virtually none. Outside of Jets GM Joe Douglas guaranteeing Rodgers will join the team, the public has seen very little to suggest a deal is near closing.

I know what you’re thinking right out of the bat here—we’re really going to talk about a walk? A walk? We’re here to talk about a walk? 
Yes, Allen Iverson, we are. Because this base on balls by Freddie Freeman in Wednesday night’s Dodgers-Giants game was not your average walk. 
This was a 15-pitch marathon that included nine straight fouls balls. NINE!
This was an at-bat that took almost six minutes. 
This walk came with the bases loaded in a tie game between two rivals who can’t stand each other. 
This walk drove in a run! 
This walk was pure art.

Before Angel Reese, Louisiana State had Seimone Augustus. Now a WNBA retiree, erstwhile coach and author, Augustus, 38, led the Tigers to three straight Final Fours in the aughts. Though they never captured the magic of winning it all, Augustus, of course, would get her turn in the pros: As a core part of the Lynx’ dynasty, the guard won league titles in 2011, ’13, ’15 and ’17.
The eight-time All-Star is on par with Shaquille O’Neal for the greatest athlete to come out of LSU—even if Shaq himself doesn’t agree.
