On Friday, the NFL world bid farewell to a legend.
Longtime Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald announced his retirement Friday afternoon, bringing one of the most decorated careers in football history to a close.
Donald’s résumé is unimpeachable: 10 Pro Bowls in 10 seasons, eight first-team All-Pro selections, three AP Defensive Player of the Year awards and a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

MLS team FC Cincinnati has decided to revoke journalist Laurel Pfahler’s credentials for two weeks. Unfortunately, teams banning journalists has become far more common over recent years, but this particular instance has developed into quite a unique one.
Pfahler, who has covered the team for various outlets since it began in the USL in 2015 before landing her current role at Queen City Press, initially broke the news over the weekend.
Marcus Stroman really doesn’t want to pitch for the New York Yankees on Opening Day.
The pinstripes have some scheduling problems with their starting pitching. Gerrit Cole, the team’s presumptive starter for game one of the season-opening series against the Houston Astros, suffered a significant elbow injury that will force him to miss 1-2 months.

In the two months since his retirement from Alabama, legendary former coach Nick Saban has been vocal about his gripes with the modern game of college football.
For instance, on March 6, Saban lamented the impact of player earning power and the transfer portal on the Crimson Tide’s normal offseason processes.
“Maybe 70 or 80 percent of the players you talk to, all they want to know is two things: What assurances do I have that I’m going to play because they’re thinking about transferring, and how much are you going to pay me?” Saban told ESPN’s Chris Low.
When Chris Winter, a neurologist and sleep expert, strolled into the Los Angeles Dodgers clubhouse at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Ariz., this week to help them prepare for their season-opening trip to Seoul, he met with a receptive audience. Los Angeles had begun planning for the series long before MLB made the announcement eight months ago, and had already taken such steps as asking the team hotel to adjust the lighting in the lobby to reflect the time of day the club is trying to mimic.
