Raptors center Jontay Porter has been banned from the NBA for violating gambling rules, the league announced Wednesday.

Despite the fact that Scottie Scheffler was the man responsible for spoiling his dream of winning the 2024 Masters in what was his major championship debut, Ludvig Aberg doesn’t have a bad thing to say about the man. In fact, Scheffler is Aberg’s favorite player on the PGA Tour.
Speaking ahead of this week’s RBC Heritage, Aberg was asked when was the first time he met Scheffler. After explaining that they first crossed paths ahead of the 2023 Ryder Cup in Italy, he shared quite the endorsement of not only Scottie Scheffler the golfer, but Scottie Scheffler the person.

Following a surprise trip to the playoffs in 2023, the Marlins are in a downward spiral, with their manager’s option for 2025 voided.

Jontay Porter gets NBA lifetime ban for betting on himself, and taking the under
Jontay Porter received a lifetime ban from the NBA after a widespread gambling scandal that included betting on NBA games involving his own team.
Porter is the younger brother of Denver Nuggets star Michael Porter Jr. He caught on with the Toronto Raptors this year after an injury-plagued career, appearing in 26 games before being sidelined during the investigation. Porter previously played in five games with the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2020-2021 season.

Jason Kelce says he lost his Super Bowl ring at the recent live show for his and his brother Travis’ New Heights podcast, and it could not have happened in a more Cincinnati way.
If I told you he lost it in a pool of Skyline chili, you’d be like “No, seriously how’d he lose it?” but that’s exactly what happened.

Mario Cristobal was paid a staggering amount of money in 2022, and didn’t win many games along the way.
Cristobal is entering his third year with the Hurricanes after being snatched away from Oregon to revitalize the program he once played for. The Hurricanes went 7-6 last year, which was two more wins than the team’s 5-7 2022 season.
There’s no question Cristobal hasn’t gotten out of the gates as fast as he’d hoped, but at least he’s making a ton of money along the way.
In fact, he pulled down a record amount of cash in 2022.

Let’s spend a few minutes mired in mud, covered in slime. And deceit. And perhaps betrayal.
The coach search exploits of Bill Belichick and the Atlanta Falcons during the recent head coach hiring cycle is the subject of an ESPN investigative report making ripples around the NFL on Wednesday.
It’s a lengthy story that details how Belichick, only 15 wins from becoming the all time winningest coach in NFL history, could not convince anyone and particularly not the Falcons to hire him.
The story is a portrait of a losing franchise doing things that losing franchises do.

Shipley went viral on Masters Sunday for multiple reasons, but he set the record straight on the Pat McAfee show.
Neal Shipley won low amateur at The Masters Tournament last week. The Ohio State golfer was the only non-professional to even make the cut.
However, two moments on Sunday caught fans’ attention. His reaction to a question about Tiger Woods handing him a note and his odd facial expressions in Butler Cabin.
The internet ran with them as Shipley became a massive storyline.
