You’d have an easier time getting people to agree on the Oscars than who should win this year’s honors.
If you think Nikola Jokić is the league MVP, you hate Joel Embiid.
If you’re Team Embiid, you’re dismissive of Jokić.
If you would cast your hypothetical ballot for Giannis Antetokounmpo, you think those who don’t should spend more time watching games up in Milwaukee.
With the NBA’s regular season winding down, so too is one of the most toxic MVP debates in memory. Fans and some research-averse talking heads are not just supportive of who they believe to be MVP.

Without Anthony Edwards and KAT, the Wolves still beat the Knicks despite 57 points from Julius Randle.
I haven’t had enough of a chance to tie March Madness talk into NBA talk this month, so on a night where four of the six winners were underdogs (at least by the standings), now’s the best time for me to say what seedings these upsets remind me of before we get into the nitty gritty.
Hornets over Pacers reminds me of No. 15 Princeton over No. 7 Missouri. Bulls over Sixers is more like No. 8 Arkansas beating No. 1 Kansas.
“Tell me how these randoms keep getting jobs?”
Cam Newton is launching an attempt at an NFL comeback by returning to where it all began.
On Monday night Newton released a hype video announcing that he’ll be throwing at Auburn’s pro day on Tuesday, while raising a pretty good question.

Signing provides RB depth, but could hurt Dameon Pierce’s fantasy value.
The Houston Texans continue to add offensive pieces, signing Devin Singletary to a one-year deal. The move isn’t a great one from a fantasy standpoint, at least for Singletary and Dameon Pierce. While the latter will continue to lead the team in backfield touches, Singletary is good enough to pry some work away from him.
Singletary has never been a fantasy star, sans a late season stretch in 2021 when he averaged 20.9 points in four games including the fantasy postseason.
The 59-time Grand Slam champion was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast and throat cancers in November.
Just four months after being diagnosed with Stage 1 breast and throat cancers, tennis legend Martina Navratilova announced she is now cancer-free.
“As far as they know I’m cancer-free,” Navratilova said in an interview with TalkTV. “I still need to do the right breast probably with radiation but only for a couple of weeks and that’s more preventative than anything else.”
The radiation treatment should last about two weeks, Navratilova noted.
Rick Pitino and Ed Cooley have been tasked with reviving two dormant powers.

The WBC has done what in five seasons the Angels could not for Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, and we can’t wait to watch.
Even if it didn’t help grow the game worldwide, even if it didn’t give players a chance to represent their countries, even if it didn’t provide exciting baseball to break up the monotony of spring training, the World Baseball Classic would be worth it, because it has done this year what in five seasons the Angels could not: allow the two best players in the world to play games that matter.
Ja Morant’s suspension officially ended on Monday allowing the superstar point guard to re-join the Memphis Grizzlies and watch his team come from behind to knock off the Dallas Mavericks.
Prior to the game on Monday night and receiving a standing ovation from the home crowd inside FedEx Forum, Morant not only apologized to his teammates about the gun incident but made a selfless suggestion as well.

Schultz is an upgrade for Houston, but his fantasy numbers will take a hit.
Dalton Schultz is staying in the state of Texas, but he’ll be wearing the red, white and blue of the Houston Texans. The former Cowboy agreed to a one-year, $9 million contract with the team and will likely move ahead of Brevin Jordan and Teagan Quitoriano on the depth chart. Unfortunately, playing in Houston won’t help his fantasy draft appeal.
Schultz scored 142.7 points and ranked 10th in fantasy points among tight ends in 2022.
University of Utah president Taylor Randall might not be sweating a new PAC-12 media deal, but he also recognizes there’s still work to be done.
The PAC-12 continues to do its best to hunt down a new media deal, and the honest reality is nobody knows what is truly happening, other than George Kliavkoff and a small group of people.
There have been conflicting reports across the spectrum, and the latest development was ESPN – a possible major in negotiations – is reportedly not close to striking a deal with the PAC-12.
