After his veteran, smooth performance in a seventh-round KO of Ryan Garcia on Saturday, Davis proved himself worthy of a slot in the Top 10.

Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Duran has some of the nastiest stuff in Major League Baseball, and he routinely makes professional hitters look very silly while they fail to make any type of contact with his filthy pitches. 
That happened earlier in the season when he threw a 101-mph splinker, and it happened again on Sunday when he threw a 102-mph fastball (with movement) and a 92-mph curveball that basically fell off the planet and made Washington’s Keibert Ruiz look foolish for trying to hit it.

Auburn baseball pulled off its largest comeback in more than a decade Sunday afternoon. The Tigers rallied from seven runs down to win by one run and take the series at home against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Cooper McMurray played a significant role, and may have made history along the way!
McMurray, a redshirt sophomore, began his career at Kansas before making the move to the SEC during the offseason.

The Texans have been at the forefront of many draft storylines ever since they solidified their position with the No. 2 pick in the 2023 draft. Whether the storylines have been good or bad has varied. But all the talk and speculation finally will end Thursday night when Houston makes its selection, but a cryptic tweet posted by the Texans didn’t help their case for staying under the radar until then. 
“Failure is not an option: it’s necessary,” the tweet read. “Every misstep is a lesson learned. Every setback a chance to grow stronger. Embrace the struggle and become unstoppable.

The Jaguars were ready to pounce on this one too.
In a real “blink twice if you’re in trouble” kind of move, the Houston Texans dropped the biggest meme of draft week on Monday morning.

At a time where every team in the NFL is trying to hype up fans ahead of the draft, the Texans are, well, doing the exact opposite. Naturally when you drop something like this three days before you’re picking No.

Like Kyle Boller and Jamarcus Russell before him …
This weekend Will Levis got down on two knees and used his cannon of an arm to hurl a massive red flag.

The “I can throw from my knees” move is the great NFL Draft Hail Mary. A lot of players have the arm strength to do it, but when you drop this video pre draft, it’s never a good sign. This was the move Kyler Boller used in 2003.

Harrison Barnes miss saved Steph Curry and the Warriors from total disaster.
Time is winding down in a game with huge implications. The star player has the ball, and with time running down and the opposing team running to trap the ball handler, he calls a timeout so the team can regroup. The only problem is that the player’s team doesn’t have any timeout left, and now they have been called for a technical because of that player blunder.

Charles Barkley regularly offers up controversial opinions as an analyst on TNT’s Inside the NBA show, but he may have topped them all with his take on Sunday night.
As the show was heading to a commercial break, the veteran television analyst gave his opinion on cats, which may have upset feline enthusiasts across the country.
“A cat is not a real pet,” Barkley said.
Then, when co-host Ernie Johnson asked why Barkley believes this, Barkley gave a simple-yet-effective answer, which confused the rest of the panel more than it pleased them.
“Because it’s not a dog,” he said.

After what felt like a dead-sprint marathon over the last month with two elevated events and The Masters taking place, it was nice to have somewhat of a low-key week in the golf world, at least on the PGA Tour. The same can not be said for LIV Golf.
There was nothing low-key about LIV’s event in Australia as the Saudi-backed circuit put together what was undoubtedly the most exciting event of its existence. It wasn’t the golf being played that made the Aussie event intriguing, but instead the crowds and party atmosphere.

Donovan Mitchell faced heat from every direction after the Cavaliers’ Game 4 loss to the Knicks on Sunday, in large part because of his disappointing play. But no one was a harsher critic than himself. 
“I played like s—,” Mitchell said after Cleveland’s 102–93 loss, per the New York Post. 
Mitchell, regarded as one of the top guards in the NBA, scored just 11 points on 5-for-18 shooting from the field. He also turned the ball over six times for the second consecutive game and went 0-for-4 from behind the arc.
