The seven-time F1 champion, and Broncos owner, helped introduce Denver’s 2024 schedule
The Denver Broncos enlisted the help of a seven-time champion to unveil their 2024 NFL schedule.
Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton, who joined the Walton-Penner Family Ownership Group in 2022, is featured in the team’s schedule release video to preview the 2024 schedule. The Formula 1 driver is tasked with trying different foods associated with each team on Denver’s schedule this season.

The Cavaliers were without three of their top six players — led by star guard Donovan Mitchell — for Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Celtics on Wednesday night.

Steelers defensive lineman and reigning Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Cameron Heyward has not attended voluntary offseason workouts and does not plan to attend OTAs as he seeks a contract extension, sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

With their 2024 schedule release video, the New England Patriots leaned into a classic movie set in Boston
For social media departments of NFL teams, the yearly schedule release has become their Super Bowl. Over the years teams such as the Los Angeles Chargers, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Carolina Panthers — to name a few — have done tremendously creative videos to announce their upcoming slate of games.
This year, the New England Patriots went to Hollywood for inspiration. Or, perhaps more accurately, Hollywood’s vision of the Boston area.

At that price they CAN hit.
There was only one correct choice on which famous Lions fans should unveil Detroit’s 2024 NFL schedule, and it’s definitely not Eminem.

Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson, best known for their work on Netflix’s I Think You Should Leave originally had the best, least-appreciated show on Comedy Central in Detroiters.

In about four months, we get NFL regular-season games back in our lives. These are the best games on the schedule — including a Super Bowl rematch.

New York brought the passion in Game 5 against the Indiana Pacers and lit the competition up.
As the Knicks started to run away with the game, NY guard Donte DiVincenzo played to the Knicks’ home crowd, which snowballed into starting a beef with Pacers center Myles Turner.
DiVi and Turner had to be separated during the third quarter after a hard screen put Donte on his back. DiVincenzo had scored on a put-back dunk moments earlier, and the Pacers responded with extra muscle. He kept going at the Pacers, even calling Myles Turner a “b**ch” during the heated jawing.

Of course, the woke mob is coming for Harrison Butker now. Of course, it’s trying to have him canceled by getting him fired.
It’s part of the playbook. It’s not surprising.
The problem here is the mob is about to run headlong into a meritocracy. The NFL struggles to cancel anybody – at least not on the first try – because NFL teams in business to win usually keep the best people around regardless of their failings.
Or perceived failings, in this case.
Butker is now in the crosshairs of multiple petitions at change.

ESPN’s Joe Tessitore described the incident as an “absolute clown show garbage amateur hour.

Houston Astros pitcher Ronel Blanco fell to the dreaded ‘glove check’ Tuesday night and was booted from the game for an illegal sticky substance found on his glove.
The ‘cheating Astros’ jokes poured in, but the story was a real bummer for Blanco — the unlikely Houston ace that tallied the season’s first no-hitter this year. 
Even as the fifth guy in the Astros rotation, Blanco overcame tremendous odds to make baseball history. Fast-forward one month, and Blanco gets slapped with a 10-game suspension, announced by MLB on Wednesday.
