Jemele Hill is living in a land of delusion when it comes to Caitlin Clark.
Clark is four games into her WNBA career, and despite being off to a tough 0-4 start, is without question the face of the league.
The former Iowa superstar became the most famous player in the league the moment the Indiana Fever drafted her first overall.
She ended her college career as the highest scorer in major college basketball history, elevated the women’s game to unprecedented levels and was nothing short of electric to watch. It’s not hard to figure out why she’s so beloved.

The Cowboys aren’t just bad these days, they’re inconsequential.
The mystique of the Dallas Cowboys is dead. Heck, unless you’re an old like some of us (myself included), you don’t ever remember the Cowboys being great — just overhyped. It’s gotten so bad that the once-proud denizens of the gridiron, America’s Team, are being totally lapped in success by the likes of the Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, and Dallas Wings, all of whom have had more recent success that Jerry World.

What could be better than a Game 7 at Madison Square Garden between the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers? Apparently, for many sports fans, the PGA Championship battle between Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau. 
According to Sports Media Watch, Sunday’s matchup between the Knicks and Pacers “averaged a 3.4 and 6.45 million on ABC — down 11% in ratings and 24% in viewership from Sixers-Celtics in the same window last year (3.9, 8.44M) and the least-watched second round Game 7 on broadcast television since Blazers-Nuggets in 2019 (6.35M).

Does Bengals QB Joe Burrow actually have incredibly long hair these days?
A photo of Burrow with hair down to his shoulders is currently taking X by storm after the tweet below was seen more than nine million times since being posted Monday night.
That’s a lot of attention for any post. A lot, but let’s tap the brakes a little bit as we dive in.
There’s just one problem. There’s no proof to suggest it’s real. In fact, a photo of Burrow two weeks ago with the Bengals shows him with a baseball cap on, but his hair definitely doesn’t look that long.

The Jadan Rashada NIL drama with the University of Florida has taken a dramatic turn since the current Georgia quarterback decided he wanted out of his NIL deal with the Gators. Now, the breakup centered around a $13.85 million NIL payment is headed for a courtroom. 
Rashada has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, claiming that members of the Florida staff, including head coach Billy Napier, lied to him on multiple occasions regarding his NIL deal with the Gators.

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson is making his case for not only becoming the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback, but has taken his salary demands to a stratosphere previously reserved for quarterbacks.
And the club, obviously, has not quite been there yet.
So Jefferson is employing the only recourse he and all NFL players seeking a new contract have this time of year: He’s skipping at least parts of his team’s organized team activities.
Roll call attendance of OTAs are major stories around the NFL this time of year.

Scottie Scheffler being arrested just outside the gates of Valhalla Golf Club early Friday morning dominated headlines over the weekend, and while all signs point to the situation being a complete misunderstanding, we don’t yet know exactly what took place at the site of the PGA Championship.
It turns out that Jeff Darlington, who originally broke the story, wasn’t the only eyewitness from ESPN who saw the whole thing go down between Scheffler and Louisville Police Detective Bryan Gillis.

It’s not just New York Giants fans that can’t stand their newly unveiled throwback jerseys.
Speaking with a reporter on Monday, Giants first round draft pick wide receiver Malik Nabers didn’t even pretend to take a liking to them.
“It’s going to be hard to swag it out,” Nabers said after being asked about the team’s “Century Red” 100th commemorative season uniforms.
“I don’t know how I’m going to make it look good.
