The defending NBA champion Warriors lost Game 2 to the Kings on Monday night to fall behind 0–2 in their first-round playoff series. 
The loss came with a controversial moment midway through the fourth quarter that led to Draymond Green being ejected and could possibly lead to another bigger punishment from the league for Green, who has been suspended from a playoff game before. 
Green stomped on Domantas Sabonis‘s chest after the Kings’ forward fell to the ground in the paint. The refs gave Green a flagrant 2 foul and kicked him out of the game.

Arkansas is apparently incredibly proud of last season.
The Razorbacks finished the regular season 6-6 and beat 6-6 Kansas in the Liberty Bowl to close out the year 7-6.

Colorado officials announced Monday that for the first time since 1996, the school has sold-out all of its season tickets. The college football world has been glued to what is happening in Boulder ever since Deion Sanders accepted the head coaching position.

Micah Parsons feels the same way about taxes as just about everyone else:
He hates it.
The Dallas Cowboys linebacker is currently on a four-year rookie deal valued at just over $17 million after being the 12th overall pick in 2021.
While he lives in a state with no state income tax, you know Uncle Sam will happily come take a bite of his 2022 earnings, which was just under $1.5 million in contract earnings.
Paying taxes has apparently lit a fire under Parsons‘ butt. Once you realize how much money you’re losing, you quickly realize you need to make more.

As a Draymond Green fan and apologist, it brings me no pleasure to say this: Green was unequivocally wrong for his stomp, jump and eventual flagrant two foul at the expense of Domantas Sabonis in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ Game 2 loss to the Kings on Monday. It may have cost Golden State the game. And it’s possible that foul alone could have serious ramifications for the rest of the series, which the Dubs currently trail 0–2.
The play in question was bizarre. After a missed shot by Sacramento, Sabonis crashed to the ground after fighting for an offensive rebound.
