There have been quite a few emotional moments inside of Nationwide Arena — home of the Columbus Blue Jackets — as the team continues to honor the memory of late Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau.
On Saturday night, there was another such moment, and I’ll warn you in advance: it might be tough to watch this one without getting a little misty-eyed or getting a lump in your throat.

The world of baseball broadcasts got a major shakeup this week when reports broke that ESPN and Major League Baseball were going their separate ways after 2025.
ESPN’s decades-long broadcasting relationship with MLB has been beneficial for both sides, and the Sunday Night Baseball window is still arguably the game’s most valuable. But commissioner Rob Manfred said in a memo sent to the league’s owners that they’d been disappointed in the lack of coverage from ESPN, outside that one weekly broadcast. And he’s right.

The Spurs do not expect Gregg Popovich back this season, and his future is ‘uncertain’ according to new reporting
According to the latest update on the health of San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, the legendary coach is not expected to return this season, and his future with the team is in doubt.
ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania provided an update on Popovich’s health on Saturday night, as the Spurs head coach recovers from a “mild stroke” at the beginning of November.

Spurs Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich is not expected to return this season, and his NBA future is uncertain as he recovers from a mild stroke suffered in November, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The reason you set your fantasy lineup every week even after the season has completely slipped away from you is to avoid one thing: the dreaded punishment.
In fact, I treat fantasy sports like getting chased by a bear; I don’t need to be first, I just need to be not last.
Unfortunately for Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt, he was the one who came in dead last in the team’s annual fantasy football league, which meant that he was on ball boy duty.

It’s been a tough week for the Spurs.

Dmitry Bivol righted a wrong with perhaps the most brilliant performance of what will surely be a Hall of Fame career.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz is one of the best athletes in baseball, and he showed why today.
In the first inning of a preseason matchup against the Cleveland Guardians, De La Cruz stepped up to the plate and eventually found himself in a 2-2 count. On the next pitch, he roped a ball to deep right-center field to bring in the game’s first run. Light work kinda stuff for the superstar.
The next time he came up to bat was in the fourth inning, but something was slightly different. Instead of batting left-handed, he dug in on the opposite side of the plate.

Williams was concerned enough about the Yankees’ rules about beards that he approached Steinbrenner and GM Brian Cashman.

Spring training games are well underway, marking an official end to the 2024-2025 Major League Baseball offseason. The Los Angeles Dodgers “won” the free agency period, the New York Mets arguably came in second, and the Red Sox made some sneaky good acquisitions too.
But there are a number of other teams that not only didn’t “win” the offseason, they signaled to fans that they don’t even remotely care about trying.
The Pittsburgh Pirates signed free agent pitcher Andrew Heaney.
