Moreau spoke with ESPN’s Adam Schefter on “The Adam Schefter Podcast.

An illustrious list makes up the latest class.
An illustrious list headlines the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame class of 2023.
Headlining the lineup are former NBA superstars Dirk Nowitzki, Dwyane Wade, Pau Gasol and Tony Parker. Current San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich as well as former WNBA star and current Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon round out the inductees, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The New York owner trashed the idea of flex scheduling for “Thursday Night Football” games.
A proposal to allow schedule changes to the NFL’s Thursday Night Football slate has been tabled until May, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported Tuesday. But the idea of “flexing” games to avoid bad matchups on Thursdays remains a hot topic among players, owners and observers.
To wit, Giants co-owner John Mara called the proposal to flex Thursday Night Football games “inconsiderate and abusive.

Of all the participants in the 2023 McDonald’s All-American Game, Bronny James had the most to prove. While that may seem strange, considering his last name and the spotlight that he draws, those factors are exactly why he needed to step up.
James, despite his talent, is often mocked and ridiculed over the element of nepotism. There is a belief amongst many that he only gets the hype that he does because he is the son of the greatest NBA player in the modern era (if not all-time). People frequently point to his five-star rating and say that it’s not deserved.

The Hawkeyes star didn’t want to hear it late during Iowa’s Elite Eight matchup against Louisville.
Caitlin Clark gave a performance for the ages when she became the first player in women’s NCAA tournament history to record a 40-point triple-double during Iowa’s 97–83 win against Louisville in the Elite Eight on Sunday.
However, before the Hawkeyes’ star led her team to victory, Clark was caught on camera dishing out some trash talk to Cardinals guard Hailey Van Lith.

Dwyane Wade, Dirk Nowitzki, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Becky Hammon and Gregg Popovich are among the finalists who’ve been elected into the 2023 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame class.

Someone tell NFL tight end Irv Smith, Jr. to pump the brakes on the Super Bowl talk.
The recently signed Bengals tight end gave a brow-raising response to joining Cincinnati this offseason.
Fitting in with a high-powered offense led by Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase, Irv Smith told Bengals reporter Geoff Hobson that he sees himself as “almost the missing piece” to winning a Super Bowl for Cincy.
Now, is Smith a Travis Kelce-type TE that can elevate the offense to win a championship?
Far from it.

The former quarterback wasn’t happy about a recent scheduling decision.
With the NFL choosing to allow teams to play in multiple Thursday Night Football games per year, the issue of player safety has yet again been thrust to the forefront.
In the past, the NFL hardly ever permitted franchises to play on multiple Thursdays as players are, at times, competing with only three days of rest. However, after the decision was made to add more TNF games in this week’s owners meetings, ESPN football analyst Robert Griffin III was not thrilled about the decision.

The film will tell the story of James in his high school days at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron, Ohio.
LeBron James’s basketball career has unfolded like the stuff of legend. Now, it’s getting the Hollywood treatment.
James’s high school playing days are now the subject of an upcoming feature film—titled Shooting Stars—that will stream on Peacock. A teaser trailer was released Tuesday, showing a sneak peek at the story of how James developed a strong bond with his teammates at St. Vincent-St.

Baseball teams like the Cleveland Guardians are beginning to treat tickets like streaming subscriptions.
The team announced it’s joining teams like the Orioles, Rays and Pirates in launching a 2023 ballpark pass, where for $49 per month, fans will be able to attend an unlimited amount of home games.
There’s a small catch though; it’s standing room only.
While not quite as desirable as being able to purchase actual seats for any desired home game, it’s still a fairly good deal, all things considered.
