If you thought the NFL’s script was bad, wait till you see the NASCAR one! At least that’s what poor Chase Elliott (probably) thought as he was breaking his leg into a million pieces while tumbling down a Colorado mountain.
Yeah … didn’t think we’d start there today, but that’s why you have to keep your head on a swivel in this sport.
We’ll get to NASCAR denying Chase’s request in just a bit.

Nice try, Giannis. But this “rebound” shouldn’t have counted.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best basketball players in the world and seems to be a really good human being, too, which is always nice. 
But what he did at the end of Sunday’s Bucks-Wizards game was a pretty lame, and the NBA should take action on it and strike the big man’s triple-double from the books. 
In case you missed it, Antetokounmpo was a rebound shy of getting a triple-double.

What the exclusive or non-exclusive tag could mean for the Ravens signal-caller. Plus, Bryce Young not working out at the combine opened the door for Anthony Richardson and C.J. Stroud and more in this week’s takeaways from the scouting combine.
You’ve heard it from me, by now—whether Baltimore puts the exclusive or nonexclusive tag on Lamar Jackson, which will determine Jackson’s availability, will certainly have an impact on the quarterback market. And so one more time, here’s the way the decision on which tag to use will shape Jackson’s immediate future.

The Cougars earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament with the win.
The Washington State women’s basketball team made history with its Pac-12 tournament title on Sunday by defeating No. 16 UCLA, 65–61.
For starters, it was the first conference championship game for the school’s women’s team. The Cougars also became the first No. 7 team to reach the championship game in Pac-12 history. 
The Washington State men’s team has won a conference title before—but it was 82 years ago—during the 1940–41 season. So, the women’s team ended a long drought for the school on Sunday.

SI Fantasy’s Jen Piacenti had the 12th pick in this experts league. Here’s how she made out.
The Tout Wars 12-team roto league had its annual draft last week and I was fortunate to participate for the third year. This experts league was founded in 1997 by Ron Shandler and was the subject of the book, Fantasyland.
We were able to choose our draft spots via KDS, and I chose to pick 12th. As I mentioned in my first-round breakdown, I really like the possibilities this year of what I can build from that spot.
