THE BRONCOS FINISHED 5-12 LAST SEASON
According to Hallendale, Florida police, Hicks was pulled over after he went through a stop sign while driving last Saturday night.

NBA veteran and former UConn star Kemba Walker was in attendance on Monday night as the Huskies captured the fifth national championship in program history.
As time was waning in regulation and it was clear that UConn was on the cusp of winning the title, Walker was captured on video holding up a five and yelling “Five of them thangs!” before pumping up the crowd.
Walker, of course, was a key member of UConn’s third national title in 2011. He started all 41 games that season for the Huskies, averaging 23.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists on 42.8% shooting from the floor.

Deion Sanders wants everyone within the Colorado program to understand the college football world is watching.
Sanders was hired to inject adrenaline into the soul of the dying PAC-12 program. So far, he’s done an incredible job.
Colorado sold out its spring game, it will be broadcast on ESPN and fans have energy not seen in Boulder for a very long time. The tide has definitely shifted.

There are a number of new rules in Major League Baseball this season that have given games a different look and have made things a lot more exciting. 
They’ve also led to some awkward moments, too. 
One of those awkward moments happened near the end of Monday’s Mets-Brewers game in Milwaukee when New York’s Mark Canha fell victim to the pitch clock and took an automatic third strike for not being ready in time. 
What made this so sad was the timing of it—the Mets trailed 10–0 with one out in the top of the ninth. Things were going bad enough for them.

Rookie running backs have long been a target for fantasy football managers, and for good reason. We like youth and upside at what is the most physically punishing offensive skill position, compared to aging veteran backs who might be on the verge of breaking down due to excessive carries or changes in depth chart personnel.
Oftentimes, that sort of strategy has paid off in the stat sheets as some of the best historical fantasy campaigns have come from rookie runners.

It’s been a week since the Indianapolis Colts became the first and only NFL team not named the Baltimore Ravens to publicly show interest in quarterback Lamar Jackson. But most of what has happened in the last week seems to be part of an internal conversation on the matter with no definitive direction so far.
This all started when Jackson announced he asked to be traded from the Ravens. Hours later, Colts general manager Chris Ballard opened the door on the Colts’ interest when asked specifically about Jackson.

Last March, after UConn crashed out of the men’s NCAA tournament in the first round for a second straight season, coach Dan Hurley convened a meeting of his team’s returning leadership at its practice facility once the team came back to Storrs. That group featured the Huskies’ three young stars: Adama Sanogo, Andre Jackson Jr. and Jordan Hawkins.
The message: Be in a different position at that same time the following year.

The NCAA’s infractions case against Tennessee is heading to a contested hearing.
School officials, former head football coach Jeremy Pruitt and former defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley are scheduled to appear before members of the Committee on Infractions later this month, in what’s become a somewhat contentious fight between each of the three parties and the association. The three parties received a letter announcing the three-day hearing, scheduled for April 19–21 in Cincinnati, multiple sources tell Sports Illustrated.

Ahead of the 2020 Masters, Bryson DeChambeau called Augusta National “a par 67 for me” insinuating that shooting five-under each round at the Masters was his new standard.
DeChambeau broke 70 just once that year before finishing T-34 at 2-under for the week. The next year he shot over par in three of his four rounds and finished outside the Top 40. During the 2022 Masters won by Scottie Scheffler, DeChambeau missed the cut after shooting 12-over in his first 36 holes.

Brock Purdy might resemble The Six Million Dollar Man these days.
The San Francisco 49ers QB suffered a significant elbow injury during the NFC championship against Philadelphia, and had to get UCL surgery.
Now, the 49ers are waiting for him to get back to 100% and the belief is he’s the early leader to be QB1 in San Francisco.
How is rehab going? It sounds like it’s going very well, and Purdy noted during an interview on Fox Sports 910-AM that it “looks like I have a robotic arm,” according to the Mercury News.
