One of the WNBA’s thorniest logistical issues appears on the verge of being put to bed.
The league will provide charter air travel to all its teams for the first time, commissioner Cathy Engelbert said Tuesday—a week before the beginning of the regular season.

The first pitch thrown to Semien by A’s pitcher Ross Stripling was a 91-mph fastball. Semien crushed the ball 401 feet to start the game, a home run off of the first pitch. It’s always exciting in baseball when this somewhat rare feat happens.
There were audible cheers from the audience as Semien rounded the bases even though the game was being played in Oakland. It must’ve been exciting for both sides of fans.

Former Ole Miss and current Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly has been suspended nine games by the Canadian Football League for violating its ‘gender based violence’ policy. 
All of this comes on the heels of a third-party investigation into allegations made by a former assistant strength coach that came to light this past February. The former coach is suing Toronto for unlawful termination, along with suing Kelly for sexual harassment during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Imagine sitting in the NFL schedule makers’ suite with full decision-making power and seeing an opportunity to pit the New York Jets against the Denver Broncos on Monday Night Football for the season-opener. 
Here you have Sean Payton in a rematch with Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, whom Payton ridiculously hurled under the bus for a perceived inability to coach Russell Wilson, just months before Payton then shoved Wilson out the door and endured the biggest dead-cap hit in NFL history for his troubles.
