Legislation takes a back seat.
A heated, marathon day in the Minnesota House had state officials rushing to pass legistlation before the close of their 2024 session — but that didn’t stop them taking some time out to recognize the Timberwolves for winning Game 7.

Kendrick Perkins thinks the media needs to stop pushing the narrative Bronny James is a major draft figure.
LeBron James‘ oldest son is currently slated to remain in the NBA Draft, which seems odd. His draft stock isn’t high, he had a very disappointing freshman year at USC, but his dad being the most famous basketball player on the planet might be enough to get the young guard drafted.
However, no prospect has been talked about more than Bronny James, despite the fact he’d be undrafted if his last name wasn’t James.
Perkins has had enough.

The New York Knicks may have thrown the first punch, but Reggie Miller and his Indiana Pacers landed the knockout blow in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, and the Hall of Famer enjoyed every second of the moment.
During the Knicks’ win in Game 2 in the seven-game series against the Pacers, loud chants of ‘Fu-k You Reggie’ broke out inside MSG with the former Pacer on the call for TNT.

From strategic blunders to mechanical failures, here is the full litany of Charles Leclerc’s pain in his home race, and whether he can finally break through in 2024
Racing at home in the Monaco Grand Prix has always been special for Charles Leclerc.
But it is a rich history filled with heartbreak.
Leclerc has yet to enjoy winning at home, whether in Formula 2 or in Formula 1, and those years have heartbreak are so painful, they have actually inspired a children’s book.

Now we’re talking, baby! THAT’s the NASCAR we all grew up with, right? The one our daddys and grandmas fell in love with. 
Thank you, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. You promised us early on in last night’s All-Star race that you’d beat the piss out of Kyle Busch and … well, you sort of did. 
If we’re being honest, the real hero today is Ricky Stenhouse Sr. That’s right. Ricky’s daddy absolutely stole the show last night. Guy was electric. He was an animal.

F1 heads to Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix. Here is what that race means to Daniel Ricciardo
Thursday ahead of the Miami Grand Prix Daniel Ricciardo met with the media, including SB Nation, to talk about his season so far, the upcoming race in Miami, and more. But among the topics discussed that morning was a race that means so much to Ricciardo, and the entire Formula 1 world.
The race that awaits us this week.
Following an emotional week in Imola F1 heads to its crown jewel, the Monaco Grand Prix.

Eddie Vedder isn’t a fan of Harrison Butker.
Butker’s commencement speech at Benedictine College has turned into one of the most polarizing topics in America. Some people are supporting his pro-family message about the benefits of getting married, having kids and being a homemaker. Others are trying to argue the speech was anti-woman and the Chiefs star wants to keep women in the kitchen – something he never said.
It’s been wild seeing all the different takes, and the Pearl Jam star has joined the list of people speaking out against Butker.

Max Verstappen remains the favorite, but the field is catching up as the F1 grid heads to Monaco
Whisper it if you want, but we’ve got a season.
Those were the words of noted Formula 1 analyst Will Buxton on Sunday, in the wake of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at historic Imola. While the majority of the race went true to form, as Max Verstappen clung to a lead off the start and slowly pulled away from the field, the tide began to turn over the closing laps. Slowly but surely, Lando Norris began to inch closer and closer to the Red Bull at the front.

Sunday’s Game 7 loss for the reigning champion Denver Nuggets reverberated into the postgame media session where Nuggets coach Michael Malone tore apart a reporter’s question after asking how Malone ‘felt’ after the loss.
Considering the Nuggets once held a 20-point advantage in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Nuggets couldn’t help but boil with bitterness, which manifested in Malone going off on the postgame mic. Denver lost, 98-90.
“How hard is it to absorb a loss like this after going up 20?” the reporter asked Malone.
