Week No. 4 of the 2024 Major League Soccer season has already seen some fireworks.
Specifically in the Eastern Conference, eight of the 15 teams in the conference still are unbeaten on the season, and this is happening despite the East having seven teams competing in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Teams will fight for some separation from the pack this weekend, while two teams will hope to log their first points of the season.

Zion Williamson has had a successful season, both staying healthy and helping lead the New Orleans Pelicans to a 40–26 record. While it feels like Williamson’s athletic abilities haven’t been on display as much as in the past, he was able to show off his size, speed and skill on Friday night.

Schauffele rallied on the back nine at TPC Sawgrass to give himself a fighting chance through 36 holes.
When Xander Schauffele arrived on the 11th tee Friday at TPC Sawgrass, he was 9-under overall and bogey-free for his first 28 holes of The Players.
That quickly changed.
After finding the fairway off the tee, Schauffele had 263 yards left to the flag stick, with water and a long, winding bunker in his way.

They’re a Runyonesque bunch that has followed the Hall of Fame basketball coach for decades—followed him to the racetrack, the golf course and basketball arenas all over.
Which brings us to a gentleman named Tom O’Grady holding court with the media in a Madison Square Garden hallway Friday night during the Big East tournament.
