The Seattle Seahawks will sign former Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker, who underwent wrist surgery and was released by Miami with a failed physical designation, to a one-year, $7 million contract, Baker’s agents told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday.

The Detroit Red Wings found themselves back in the win column on Saturday after enduring one of the weirder sports curses in recent memory.
Detroit topped the Buffalo Sabres 4-1 to snap a 7-game losing streak.
Alright… it didn’t go on for too long. It was a mirco-curse, but still, a curse nonetheless, and it had to do with the addition of a jersey advertisement.
At the end of February, the Red Wings announced that they were going to tarnish one of the most iconic uniform sets in hockey with an ad.

Fired on Monday.
NCAA Tournament bid on Sunday.
That could be the scenario for Long Beach State men’s basketball coach Dan Monson, who was fired Monday in the midst of an 18-14 season and 10-10 finish for a fifth place tie in the Big West regular season. But he was allowed to coach the rest of the season.
Monson, 62, has since led No. 4 seed Long Beach State to two wins in the Big West Tournament in Henderson, Nevada – 86-67 over No. 5 seed UC-Riverside on Thursday and an 83-79 upset of No. 1 seed UC Irvine (24-9, 17-3) on Friday.

PGA Tour Policy Board member Peter Malnati didn’t pull any punches when it came to his thoughts on team golf.
PGA Tour Policy Board member Peter Malnati had a fantastic round of golf Saturday at The Players Championship, carding a 6-under 66. That vaulted him to 7-under overall, 30 spots up the leaderboard.
However, all the talk surrounding Malnati likely won’t come from his play.
Following his round, he addressed the ongoing negotiations between the Saudi-funded LIV Golf and the PGA Tour.

There’s no denying Purdue center Zach Edey’s greatness, given his status as the reigning AP Player of the Year and his high likelihood of winning the award again this year.
There is, however, often objection by Edey’s opponents to the way his game is officiated.
Edey’s aggressive, antiquated post assaults make him a frequent magnet for foul calls—and the numbers back up that notion. He entered the No. 3 Boilermakers’ Big Ten tournament semifinal against Wisconsin on Saturday with 351 free-throw attempts on the year, 42 more than anyone else in Division I.

The rivalry between the fans of the UNC Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball team takes no days off.
Last night, the Virginia Cavaliers and the NC State Wolfpack faced off in an ACC tournament semifinal (which the Wolfpack won 73-65 in overtime). About halfway through the first quarter, one of the fans in attendance hilariously photo-bombed the broadcast to troll Duke.
But it wasn’t a Cavaliers fan, nor was it a Wolfpack fan. A loyal supporter of the Tar Heels sat behind ESPN broadcasters Jay Bilas and Dan Shulman, just to poke fun at the Blue Devils.

Aaron Rodgers’ tenure as a vice presidential prospect lasted about three days.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was cleared of any wrongdoing by a Red Bull investigation after a team employee accused him of inappropriate behavior.
While the conclusion of that investigation — conducted by an external lawyer — allowed him to remain on the pitwall, through the first two races of the 2024 Formula 1 season, the story appears far from over.
According to BBC Sport, Horner’s accuser has now filed a grievance with the FIA’s ethics committee.

The NWSL’s Kansas City Current and its ownership group—headlined by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany—had a Saturday to remember.
The Current opened the 2024 season on Saturday in the brand-new CPKC Stadium, a soccer field with a capacity of 11,500 fans that is the first stadium built specifically to host women’s professional sports in the United States.
Kansas City came out firing, grabbing a 5–2 lead over the Portland Thorns and hanging on for a 5–4 victory to earn three points in the standings.

Brady Tkachuk scored his third goal on the power play in overtime Saturday to lift Ottawa to its third straight victory.
