There’s really nothing quite like MLB Opening Day in Cincinnati, Ohio. The home fans turn out by the hundreds of thousands for the Findlay Market Parade before thousands head inside Great American Ballpark to see the beloved Reds. 
The emergence of the Bengals as a legitimate franchise in recent years has shifted the balance a bit, but Cincinnati is still very much a baseball city. Cincinnatians are gluttons for punishment, too, since neither the Reds nor the Bengals has delivered a championship for the city since 1990.

Scheffler is once again in contention after Thursday’s first round of the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Scottie Scheffler cannot be stopped. You can only hope to contain him.
Scheffler entered this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open looking for his third consecutive win. He captured both the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Players Championship in his last two starts.
During the latter, Scheffler suffered a minor neck injury and battled through the pain. You certainly wouldn’t know it by the way he continues to dominate golf courses.

Opening Day of the 2024 season is here, and for some teams, it’s a time of fun, anticipation and excitement. For the Los Angeles Angels and their fans though, it’s…well, it’s the opposite. 
The Angels were tangentially one of the unwitting stories of the 2023-2024 offseason, as Shohei Ohtani, the game’s most prominent superstar, publicly spurned his only organization in favor of their most direct rivals. The Angels, already effectively a two-man team with Ohtani and Mike Trout, suddenly lost the other half of their two-headed monster.

Happy MLB Opening Day everyone! 
Every year, I say to myself, “I’m going to follow baseball more closely this year.”
Every year, I tumble off the wagon after about a week. There are just so many games it’s hard to stay on top of it. They’re like Marvel movies only slightly less woke. 
But do you know what I stay on top of? First pitches.

Baltimore Orioles part-owner Mike Arougheti knows just how to win over the fanbase’s hearts and minds – with beer!
Prior to today’s home opener in which the Orioles hosted the Angels, Arougheti made his way to local fan-favorite Pickles Pub, where he climbed on top of the bar, and proudly informed everyone that this middle-aged white person was in fact responsible for putting today’s team together.
Arougheti then pulled the ultimate W by buying the whole bar a beer and downing it with the Orioles faithful as a “Let’s Go O’s” chant broke out.

Good Morning Football – the daily morning show on NFL Network – is one day away from going on a long hiatus until training camp. 
Evidently, that means the gloves are OFF for longtime host Kyle Brandt, who took a blowtorch to all the Caleb Williams haters out there making fun of his pink phone and nails. 
Brandt, who has been with the show since it’s inception in 2016, came out of the gates Thursday with a wild rant on the recent backlash Williams received after he surfaced earlier this week at a basketball game with a pink cell phone and a nice set of lavish nails.

Perhaps more than any team in the NHL, the Philadelphia Flyers are known for their struggles when it comes to getting consistent goal-tending.
It looked like the answer to that problem could be Carter Hart… but things have gone a little differently.
One of the other hopes for the Flyers is Russian goalie Ivan Fedotov. The Flyers hold the 27-year-old’s North American rights, but there have been some real problems in bringing him across the pond. 
When the Flyers attempted to bring Fedotov to North America in 2022, he was suddenly whisked away for military service.

Some teams, like the Patriots and Bears are obvious fits to take a quarterback early. For others, there could be a depth need or buyers’ remorse.

Technically, Major League Baseball’s Opening Day came last week when the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres started the season with a pair of regular season games in South Korea. 
But for all intents and purposes, the true Opening Day occurs on Thursday when the majority of the rest of the league gets their seasons underway. 
I remember when I was a kid, one of my favorite pastimes was my dad taking me out of school on Opening Day to watch the Cincinnati Reds. Only recently did Major League Baseball steal Opening Day from Cincinnati.

Woody Johnson’s habit of wearing that boujee 80-carat diamond chain last season seemed a little out of place because, well, the New York Jets owner is pushing 77 years old, is a former diplomat, and is a conservative.
But after what I just saw on social media Thursday afternoon, the look makes more sense now.
Because Johnson just went straight bully on a business partner.
