On the heels of the Ravens landing Odell Beckham Jr. in free agency, Lamar Jackson took a moment on Sunday to shout out the star receiver on social media amid looming questions surrounding his return to the team.
Beckham’s decision to join Baltimore comes at a time when Jackson’s future hangs in the balance after he received a non-exclusive franchise tag in March.

The NBA regular season wrapped up Sunday and tensions were clearly high on some teams looking to better their standing ahead of the playoffs, with multiple on-court altercations between teammates taking place. When the dust settled, the Warriors and Clippers avoided the play-in tournament in the Western Conference, consigning the Lakers to a play-in matchup against the Timberwolves, who had one heck of a Pyrrhic victory over the Pelicans in a matchup for the No. 8 spot.
And that’s just one of the four games we have to look forward to in the first round of the play-in bracket.

Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was sent home by the team from Sunday’s game against the Pelicans following an altercation with Kyle Anderson that turned physical.
After the game, which Minnesota rallied to win in his absence, Gobert released a statement on Twitter, apologizing to the fans, the organization and Anderson for his outburst.
“Emotions got the best of me today. I should not have reacted the way I did regardless of what was said.

When it comes to LIV Golf vs. the PGA Tour, there’s one area dominated by LIV: money. Sure, the PGA Tour carries more prestige, more fan interest, more eyeballs. But then there’s that LIV money. In fact, Brooks Koepka won more money last week than Jon Rahm did for winning arguably golf’s biggest prize, the Masters.
Jon Rahm of Spain poses in his green jacket with the trophy after the final round of the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 09, 2023 in Augusta, Georgia.

Golf is a fickle game. Jon Rahm’s 2023 Masters began with a nightmare as he four-putted the opening hole carding a double bogey six. Then, 71 grueling holes later, the Spaniard was living a dream come true walking off of the 18th green a Masters champion.
For years now it’s felt like a matter of when, not if, Rahm would win a green jacket. For it to come by playing chaser to one of the all-time great closers in Brooks Koepka – on his hero Seve Ballesteros’ birthday – it feels like a fitting win for the 28 year old.

Vintage Phil Mickelson resurfaced at The Masters.
Not many people expected vintage Phil Mickelson to show up at the 2023 Masters.
Since leaving the PGA Tour for Saudi-funded LIV Golf last spring, Mickelson has been treated like an afterthought and a punchline. For a superstar player, who is one of the most accomplished competitors in golf history, it’s been a shocking two-year downfall from Mickelson’s triumphant PGA Championship win in 2021.

Perhaps no player in the NBA is better suited for engaging in Twitter beef than Draymond Green. On Sunday, the Warriors forward took the perfect opportunity to show he kept the receipts.
During the regular-season finale against the Pelicans, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert and forward Kyle Anderson got into an altercation on the team’s bench, with Gobert taking a swing at Anderson before the pair were separated by teammates.

The FedEx Cup leader earns a green jacket.
The 87th Masters at Augusta National shaped up to be a very entertaining major on the PGA Tour. The aura that always comes out of Augusta was no different than in years past. However, this year there was extra flare.
The PGA invited golfers from LIV to participate in the tournament, and with no one being able to script it any better, the run for this year’s green jacket came down to a golfer from each side playing it out until the end.
