Let’s rank the Sweet 16 by their national title chances.
The first weekend of March Madness produces some stunning results and dramatic moments every year, and the start of the 2023 men’s NCAA tournament was no different. We saw a No. 16 seed beat a No. 1 seed for only second time ever when Fairleigh Dickinson did the unthinkable vs. Purdue. We saw a No. 15 seed beat a No. 2 seed for the third year in a row with Princeton knocking off Arizona, and the Tigers’ run isn’t done yet.

Here’s something you never thought you’d hear: Detroit is a destination for top free agents. Chicago is also moving in the right direction.

It’s one of the most interesting OWGR updates of the year. We’re a week out from the top 50 cutoff from the Masters.

Over six glorious days of the NCAA Tournament, 52 teams were eliminated from the field of 68. Only 16 remain. Next week, there will be four.
Cinderella – aka No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson of New Jersey – has left the building. Yes, the Knights lost 78-70 loss to No. 9 seed Florida Atlantic Sunday. But how beautiful she was with just the second No. 16 seed victory in NCAA Tournament history. Maryland-Baltimore County did it first in 2018 over Virginia. So FDU, at least you have a better name than that one, which sounds like a high school.

He dropped a detailed review after attending the concert.
1. Sunday night, I was scrolling through TikTok and saw a bunch of videos on my “For You” page from the opening night of Taylor Swift’s new tour. One of the videos ran down the 44 songs—yes, 44 songs—that Swift performed during the show.

I saw Billy Joel back in November. He did 27 songs and I was impressed (partially because he’s 73 years old, but I don’t want to age-shame).

New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Díaz tore his right patellar tendon during a matchup in the World Baseball Classic (WBC). He will now miss the entire MLB season after signing the largest contract for a closer on record.
If you are upset about the injury, you need to look yourself in the mirror and understand how colonial that is of you.
That is according to an MSNBC columnist.
Last week, MSNBC penned the headline “Some MLB fans are too arrogant to see why Edwin Diaz took the mound for Puerto Rico.

Par Talk, published every Monday on OutKick, gets golf fans caught up on the biggest storylines in the game with insightful opinion you may or may not agree with.
It’s always the underwhelming tournaments on paper that turn into the most action-packed events of the year, which is exactly what the Valspar Championship turned into during Sunday’s final round.
We had Jordan Spieth looking for his first win since April 2022 and Tommy Fleetwood hunting for his first win on U.S. soil with Adam Schenk and Taylor Moore playing the spoiler role.

The PAC-12’s disaster of a media rights situation continues to be stuck in the mud.
Commissioner George Kliavkoff has been attempting to hammer out a new media deal, but so far, nothing has happened.
With the clock ticking down, it has recently started to look like the PAC-12 might actually manage to secure a deal. It was rumored ESPN, which currently owns part of the PAC-12 rights, was in the mix as a possible option for the next media rights package, but that might not actually be the case.

After upsets peppered the first two rounds of the men’s tournament, the Sweet 16 looks much different than fans expected.
The first weekend of the men’s NCAA tournament is officially in the books, and there’s a pretty good chance that your bracket is already in shambles. The first four days of the tournament didn’t bring a critical mass of upsets, but shockers like Fairleigh Dickinson’s win over Purdue, Princeton’s run to the Sweet 16 and Arkansas’s takedown of defending champion Kansas set up a round few would have predicted.

The Hoyas fired Patrick Ewing after their season ended.
Georgetown is heavily pursuing Providence coach Ed Cooley to lead the Hoyas men’s basketball program, per multiple reports. ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports the two sides have had “positive conversations,” while Stadium’s Jeff Goodman says Cooley is “on verge” of leaving the Friars for the Hoyas.
Cooley, a Providence native, has been coaching the Friars since 2011 following five seasons at Fairfield.
