Patriots coach Bill Belichick clarified a controversial remark he made on Monday at the NFL’s annual league meeting regarding the team’s past successes.
Since the departure of quarterback Tom Brady, New England struggled to continue the reign it enjoyed for the better part of the 21st century. When asked what fans should point to for optimism ahead of the 2023 season, Belichick responded “the last 25 years,” a comment which garnered criticism from former players.
“We’re not resting on our past laurels; that’s not the message to the team or the fans.

New York Magazine is the proud owner of maybe the most unhinged sports take we’ve seen in a long time.
Millions of fans around the country are fired up and excited to watch FAU/SDSU and UConn/Miami this weekend in the Final Four. For the first time in a long time, we had true carnage. In fact, it’s the first time in NCAA Tournament history a seed three or higher didn’t make the Final Four.

That’s awesome.
The NFL free agency period saw (and continues to see) plenty of big names on the move, as teams try to fill holes in their current rosters en route to a potential playoff berth (or even better, Super Bowl) next season. That exercise will continue in the coming weeks and into late April, as the league holds the 2023 NFL draft.
Until then, NFL fans and fantasy managers will wait with bated breath to see how their teams can improve – and for our purposes, how the moves will affect the value of our fantasy heroes.

Opening Day is here
MLB is going big for Opening Day this year.
Virginia Tech’s star duo. Iowa’s offense. LSU’s Angel. South Carolina’s depth. They could all lead to a title.
Boston could have gotten lost in A’ja Wilson’s shadow at South Carolina. Instead, the Gamecocks senior built her own legend.
Sports is a funny thing.
On one aspect, you want to display confidence, toughness, maybe even some arrogance before you head into a competition. You want to intimidate your opponent by being so sure that you are going to prevail victorious.
But on the other hand, if it goes bad and you do in fact not win the championship, well then… you come across like a fool.
The San Diego Padres are praying (and paying) that doesn’t happen to them.
The team released a new video ahead of today’s baseball season opener and anyone that isn’t a Padres fan has to be hoping it jinxes them.

With Opening Day upon us, how have the new MLB rules impacted baseball?
It is Opening Day.
But major league baseball will look a little different this season.
MLB is implementing a new series of rules aimed at speeding up the pace of play, and creating more opportunities for offense.
Now that spring training is in the rear-view mirror, we can take a look at how the new rules have impacted both the game, and the pace of play.
As her squad made its way to the Final Four, signifying a new era for a program that needed one, LSU coach Kim Mulkey kept reiterating a message.
Don’t give me the credit for this.
“It’s not my great coaching that got us there,” Mulkey said before the Elite Eight. “Honestly, it’s the transfer portal … We’ve got nine new pieces, including freshmen, that have helped us jump-start this program fast.”
When Mulkey arrived in Baton Rouge two years ago, the program was coming off a 9–13 season and had failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament for several years in a row.

Kings pummel Blazers to clinch playoff spot, 120-80
Normally, I wouldn’t start our daily scores proceedings with a game that was basically over before it started. But when it’s time to party like it’s 2006, it’s only fair. With Wednesday’s 40-point drubbing of what might as well be Portland’s G-League squad, the Sacramento Kings are officially postseason-bound for the first time in 16 years. Not only that, but they’re guaranteed to have homecourt advantage for at least the first round.
