The Fever selected former South Carolina star and 2022 national player of the year Aliyah Boston with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA draft on Monday night. Maryland’s Diamond Miller went second to the Lynx.

Riley Gaines doubled down on criticism of Megan Rapinoe late Tuesday morning.
The former Kentucky swimmer called out Megan Rapinoe late Monday night for being fine with biological men competing against women in sports. She also claimed Rapinoe, who is gay, could “never have a daughter to defend” because she’s not “sexually attracted to men. Rapinoe, who signed a letter opposing a policy suggestion that would protect women’s sports, could have a child through a sperm donor or adoption.
Gaines later deleted the tweets early Tuesday morning.

Although it is less than two weeks into the 2023 Major League Baseball season, a rebellion is brewing amongst Red Sox fans. It has nothing to do with the team itself, and everything to do with condiments.
Let’s break it down.
Back in November of 2020, Boston announced a new partnership with True Made Foods, a startup company that is set out to transform the condiment world forever. It does not use any added sugars or artificial sweeteners.
True Made Foods’ founder and CEO, Abe Kamarck, is a Navy veteran and father of four.

The pick to be the runner-up for MVP has landed on the All-NBA second team. Two Kings (!) are among the 15 best players in the league. Plus: Rookie and defense picks.

1. We love a creative celebration. We especially love a creative celebration that involves props.
So we were highly impressed with what we saw in Baltimore on Monday night.
Orioles first baseman Ryan Mountcastle went deep in the third inning against the A’s. When he got back to Baltimore’s dugout, one of his teammates was there waiting for him with … a funnel. And a bottle of water to pour into said funnel.

Come for the home run, stay for the celly. pic.twitter.

If you’re going to be calling 120+ minor league baseball games, you’ve got to do some things to keep it interesting, and that’s precisely what the play-by-play announcer for the West Michigan Whitecaps did while tipping his cap to the Jim Nantz and the Masters.
The Whitecaps are the High-A Midwest League affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. As is so often the case with the minor leagues, teams will use gimmicks. The Whitecaps, for instance, have switched up their name for select games and took the field as the Beer City Bung Hammers. Why? Because it gets attention.

Deion Sanders has made it a personal mission to ingratiate himself with his new team, community and apparently mascot in Colorado. “Prime Time” has never shied away from confrontation and fear just isn’t something the public has seen from the Hall of Famer in his legendary career. 
But it appears the one thing that can make Sanders blush is a 1,200-pound buffalo. 
Colorado released a video Monday that showed Sanders meeting Ralphie, the school’s mascot, for the first time. The coach was a bit sheepish—to say the least—when he tried feeding Ralphie.

While the final round of the 2023 Masters turned out to be anticlimactic down the stretch with Jon Rahm winning by four shots, that doesn’t mean people didn’t tune in.
The coverage started early Sunday with many players in the field having to finish their third round because of a weather delay, and golf fans relished the day filled of coverage from Augusta National.

Nick Lucero/Rivals.com 2024 OL Jake Guarnera has announced he will commit on Friday, April 28 at 5 p.m. With the announcement he also announced his top 5 schools which include Michigan. Top 5. What’s the Move? @jgpvisuals pic.

Is your college football team looking for a quarterback or another stud linebacker coming out of Spring practice? Luckily, coaches are about to get another window of opportunity to find an additional piece to their teams puzzle. For some, one or two pieces from the transfer portal could be the difference in fighting for a conference title.
The Spring transfer portal period opens for college football players on April 15th, and will run through the 30th. There are a number of schools still looking for a veteran quarterback that can come into the program and add competition to the room.
