Twenty-nine years after Art Modell moved the Browns out of Cleveland, his name still resonates locally.

Lane Kiffin’s son Knox is already generating some college interest, despite not even being in high school yet.
The Ole Miss coach’s son is in eighth grade, and you’d think that’s a bit young to start thinking about where to attend college. However, Mississippi College is taking a shot at getting on Knox’s radar as early as possible.
Kiffin’s eighth grade son tweeted Monday night that he’s received an offer from the DII program. According to 247 Sports, MC head coach David Kershaw delivered the offer.

The Philadelphia Flyers spent much of this season sitting in the third spot in the Metropolitan Division, but now they might be lucky to make the postseason.
The Flyers are in the Eastern Conference’s second wildcard spot but are dealing with a five-game losing skid. Sure, that streak started against powerhouse teams like the Panthers and Bruins, but they also lost to basement dwellers in the Canadiens and Blackhawks.

Caitlin Clark recorded 41 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds Monday night when she led Iowa past LSU to advance to the Final Four.
Her performance surprised former NBA player Paul Pierce. He never expected to see a “white girl in Iowa” outplay black girls on the court.
“She didn’t do this to some other little white girls in Colorado,” said Pierce on FS1. “She did this to some black girls from LSU. I didn’t expect that.”
Translation: Pierce views “little white girl” as inherently inferior to black girls.

Have a couple of fantasy baseball teams but are unsure how to keep them strong and winning now that the season has started? Don’t worry — Scott Pianowski has your back.

An idiot fan decided to jump over a barricade, hop into a wrestling ring and begin fighting one of the wrestlers!
Probably not the best or brightest idea (shocking!) because the fan would then proceed to get the crap kicked out of him before then getting choked out!
The fan was attending the RUGGEDpro Wrestling championship match in Iowa over the weekend when he decided to take the “oh, wrestling is fake!” narrative to the extreme and realized that no, it’s actually very, very real.

The umpire scorecard from the Giants vs. Dodgers game Monday showed several missed calls that impacted San Francisco in the 8-3 loss.

The Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday confirmed that offensive coordinator Wes Phillips has begun serving a suspension tied to his December arrest on DWI charges.
The three-week suspension without pay will conclude April 22, so Phillips will be able to return to work April 23. 
And while that means Phillips will miss portions of the team’s draft preparation, the suspension will not affect his on-field coaching duties to any degree. 
So, as uncomfortable suspensions without pay may be, this one is so far quite convenient for Phillips.

Let’s meet this year’s talented class at the boys 2024 McDonald’s All-American Game.
Competing in the McDonald’s All-American Game is a right of passage for the basketball stars of the future. While the game itself often takes on the feel of an All-Star Game as an exhibition meant to excite the fans, the practices and scrimmage leading up to the big event are historically much more competitive and offer a better evaluation setting before the top prospects in the country jump to the next level.

Former Red Sox president Larry Lucchino, who helped lead the team to three World Series championship, dies at 78.
