The 2024 NFL draft’s done. Lots of clean-up work to do. So let’s not waste any more time and get to that …
On Odell Beckham Jr. and the Miami Dolphins, it’d be smart to follow the money. Last year, the 10-year veteran signed a deal in Baltimore at a base value of $15 million with upside to $18 million. This year, his base pay with Miami will be 20% of what he got with the Ravens—just $3 million—with upside to $8.5 million.

Well now … that, boys and girls, was a NASCAR race. Whew. 
You know who couldn’t do that? The Europeans. Show THAT to an F1 truther and then tell me that dainty little auto league is better than what we have here in America. 
Cute Miami race, fellas. Adorable. If you want real racing, head to Kansas. They may have all the woke little celebs and Donald Trump and the hot Miami girls walking around the track like they give a crap in Miami, but us NASCAR folks have some actual racing to do. 
And we also have hot girls! Who has it better than us? Trick question. Nobody, of course.

The NBA’s current rights negotiation may be the most fascinating sports rights negotiation of all time. 
Based on current reports, Amazon, Warner Brothers/Discovery (TNT’s parent company), Disney/ESPN, and Comcast (NBC’s parent company) are all battling for the NBA’s rights package and willing to pay a substantial rights fee increase despite the fact that the NBA’s audience has completely collapsed under the leadership of commissioner Adam Silver and the woke posturing of LeBron James, Gregg Popovich and Steve Kerr.

The Seattle Mariners’ decision to trade Jarred Kelenic to the Atlanta Braves this offseason came as quite a surprise given the apparent up-and-coming status of both the Mariners and Kelenic. Regardless of the why of it all, the Braves were more than happy to add Kelenic to their loaded lineup.
So far it looks like a solid enough decision. Atlanta went 20-12 in the first month of the season. Kelenic hasn’t quite found his swing and is still hunting for his first home run of the year, but he’s batting a perfectly fine .274 in 26 games played.

Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald called Sunday’s Baltimore Orioles–Cincinnati Reds game on MASN. The away team crushed the home Reds, 11-1, leaving plenty of opportunity for Kevin Brown to really explore the space. By the time Adley Rutschman singled in the seventh inning, Brown was referencing the Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef.
“Gets a piece! Flares it over De La Cruz, which is basically like hitting a ball over a skyscraper! And Ramon scores on the RBI single. He’s got more hits this week than Kendrick Lamar.

The season’s second major is next week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., and most of the top PGA Tour players will get a warm-up for it this week.
The Wells Fargo Championship is a signature event, meaning an exclusive field of 70 players competing for a $20 million purse. But unlike the last signature event, the RBC Heritage, many of the game’s best won’t be coming in off an exhausting major week.
Also unlike the last signature event, this field won’t have to deal with Scottie Scheffler. The world No.

Recapping the winners and losers from the F1 Miami Grand Prix
MIAMI — The celebration in McLaren’s paddock at Hard Rock Stadium lasted well into the night, with even Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur joining in on the fun.
And with good reason.
Sunday was the kind of day you dream about the first time you climb into a racecar for Lando Norris, as the McLaren driver broke through after years of close calls and heartbreaks, for his maiden Formula 1 victory.
“It felt incredible,” said Norris trackside after the win.

The Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to blow the doors off the Orlando Magic on Sunday in Game 7 of their first round NBA playoffs series, which will earn them a date with the top-seeded Boston Celtics in round two. Jubiliant fans at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse spent the final minutes chanting “we want Boston” because that’s just what fans do and they are entirely right to prefer the season keep going rather than end.

The live Tom Brady roast on Netflix on Sunday night had a lot of wild moments, including many good one-liners from former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
While Brady took some pretty personal shots from former teammates and comedians during the show, the former quarterback closed out the night with some doozies of his own that saw him making fun of everything from Roger Goodell and the NFL to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
