Garoppolo is headed from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

The arena was filled with fans clad in Big Orange, but those fans who either took time out of their lunch break or made the trip to Nashville were looking for a way to offload a bunch of tickets following Tennessee’s early exit from the SEC Tournament. 
From the minute the ball was tipped inside Bridgestone Arena, it was all Mississippi State against the No. 1 seed Vols. For what fans thought could be a joyous weekend in the Music City turned out to be a nightmare, and a prerequisite for what could come in the NCAA Tournament.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — The sample size is small, but still impressive. Wyndham Clark has three PGA Tour victories, all of them big, one of them a major championship.
He’s a seeking a fourth here at the Players Championship, a week after coming in second at another of the PGA Tour’s biggest tournaments. And he’s starting to develop the reputation of a player who performs best in those moments.

Wyndham Clark is 14 under par through 36 holes at the Players Championship.

Evgeny Kuznetsov’s signature wing-flapping celebration is pretty divisive, and Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour was one of its detractors.
At least until the Canes traded for Kuznetsov. Now Brind’Amour is digging it.
On Thursday night, the Hurricanes hosted the NHL-leading Florida Panthers. That’s a tall order, considering the Cats look primed for what could be another trip back to the Stanley Cup Final, but this game was all Carolina.
The Canes made it look easy and topped Florida 4-0.

The Dallas Cowboys are releasing veteran wide receiver Michael Gallup, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reported Friday. Dallas will designate the move as a post-June 1st release and save $9.5 million in cap space for this season.
The Cowboys drafted Gallup as a third-round pick in 2018, and the wide receiver has played in Dallas for the past six seasons. Gallup’s best season came in 2019, when he totaled over 1,000 receiving yards for the first and only time in his career, including a career-high six touchdowns.

Many fans across Major League Baseball heading into 2024 have labeled the Los Angeles Dodgers as the sport’s villain, thanks to an impressive offseason. 
The Dodgers committed $700 million to Shohei Ohtani, $325 million to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, $136.5 million to Tyler Glasnow, $23.5 million to Teoscar Hernandez, and re-signed Clayton Kershaw despite the 35-year-old missing most of the 2024 season. Doing the math, that’s an outlay of effectively $1.2 billion in guaranteed contracts.

“Sheryl Swoopes is right: Black people can’t be racist,” read a headline in the Los Angeles Times this week.
The author, a black man named Clyde Ford, references Sheryl Swoopes’ defense against accusations that racial animus stirred her inaccuracy-laden belittlement of Caitlin Clark’s collegiate career earlier this year.
“For people to come at me and say that I made those comments [about Clark] because I’m a racist … First of all, black people can’t be racist; but that’s the farthest thing from my mind,” said Swoopes.

With so many NHL teams’ late-season rotations set, one of these players may help you shoot for a fantasy title.

Bojan Bogdanović left a petty review on Pistons’ owner’s private equity firm after trade
Tom Gores became a billionaire by founding Platinum Equity. In 2011, he used his fortune to buy the Detroit Pistons. The Flint, MI native and Michigan State grad was hailed as a savior for ending a drawn-out sale by former owner Karen Davidson, but unfortunately results haven’t followed. Since Gores bought the team, the Pistons have the worst record in the NBA at 368-639 overall.
Gores has poured money into the Pistons several times, but nothing has worked.

On Friday, the Pittsburgh Steelers sent quarterback Kenny Pickett to the other side of the state—dealing him, along with the 120th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, to the Philadelphia Eagles for the 98th pick and two future seventh-round picks.
The move took place as part of an offseason-long shakeup of the Steelers’ quarterback room. Pittsburgh signed quarterback Russell Wilson to a one-year contract on March 15, and longtime Steelers signal-caller Mason Rudolph formally signed with the Tennessee Titans Friday.
