The Minnesota High School Hockey Tournament is one of the rowdiest events in sports. A packed house of 20,000 fans jam into the Xcel Center in St. Paul to root their local high schools to victory.
Minnesota is the hockey mecca of the United States and ‘The Tournament’ is a huge deal. Everybody comes out to support their local high school. Everybody! We’re talking brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors— all of the way down to Sandra, the bagger at the grocery store.
Men’s or women’s, it doesn’t matter.

Dick Fosbury revolutionized the high jump at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City.

Josh McDaniels is reuniting with his former player in Las Vegas, a move that suits both sides and makes sense of the decision to let a franchise QB walk.
Predictable isn’t always bad. Billion-dollar businesses have been created out of the recognition that we are creatures of comfort, and that, at the end of the day, we often follow behavioral patterns.
Personally, I stress eat. You might crack your knuckles when you’re uncomfortable.

Las Vegas agreed to sign the former 49ers quarterback Monday afternoon.
The Raiders moved to add a veteran starting quarterback Monday in free agency, agreeing to terms with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on a forthcoming three-year contract.
On Monday afternoon, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero outlined the structure of Garoppolo’s contract, which he noted “effectively (locks) in (Garoppolo) as Las Vegas’s starter for two years and $48.5 million.”
The 2019 Comeback Player of the Year is poised to earn $11.25 million in salary in both 2023 and ’24. He has an $11.

The linebacker secured a huge pay day in Chicago.
The Bears made a huge splash on Monday, agreeing to a deal with former Bills Pro Bowl linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Adam Schefter was the first to report the details of the contract, which is set to be the largest four-year deal doled out to an inside linebacker. According to Schefter, Edmunds and Chicago are in agreement on a four-year, $72 million deal, including $50 million in guaranteed money.

NFL free agency — for all intents and purposes — started Monday. Teams are making moves left and right. It’s tough to keep up with all that news, and ESPN needs you to know just how hard Adam Schefter works.
The media network pays him around $10 million per year for his information, and they bend over backwards to let you know that.
On their SportsCenter NFL free agency special, the usual suspects from the Worldwide Leader are on the set. Field Yates is hosting coverage along with analyst Louis Riddick and reporter Dianna Russini.
Adam Schefter is not on the set.

Steph Curry’s pregame warmup routine went horribly wrong on Saturday night. He made amends after a nine-point overtime win over the Bucks, but he forgot a common courtesy that could have avoided the entire issue in the first place.
Curry, perhaps the greatest pure shooter in NBA history, is known as much for his clutch jumpers as he is for his unique warmup. That might be a stretch, but the warmup is as famous as warmups get, and it’s all backed by science.

New York has been recruiting the quarterback all offseason.
Everyone is waiting for Aaron Rodgers to decide his next move, and despite conflicting reports, several Jets players seem to believe they will be playing with the star quarterback in 2023.
Jets players have been openly recruiting Rodgers for weeks, with the hope that the four-time NFL MVP would decide to agree to a trade to New York. That includes cornerback Sauce Gardner, wide receiver Garrett Wilson and running back Breece Hall getting together to burn a cheesehead while making a recruiting pitch on video.

After a months-long inquiry, the federation has released details of misconduct allegations against the USMNT coach and the fallout at the 2022 World Cup.
The details are absorbing and revealing at times, but the ultimate findings of the independent investigation into the allegations of domestic abuse against former U.S. men’s national team coach Gregg Berhalter and the behavior of those who accused him, Claudio and Danielle Reyna, aren’t that surprising: Berhalter behaved badly three decades ago but has atoned. The Reynas behaved badly during the Qatar World Cup but aren’t subject to U.

It’s not official yet, but it’s quickly moving that way. Packers (for now) quarterback Aaron Rodgers is indeed moving toward accepting a trade that would send him out the land of the Cheesehead and into the Big Apple.
