Caitlin Clark was filmed walking through the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, providing some WNBA fans and media members with the perfect excuse to complain about players having to fly commercially. 
Those that are complaining about Clark not flying private have exposed themselves to not only having zero general knowledge of how businesses work, but not paying close enough attention to the league it claims to be following.
The video that has sparked outrage online simply shows Clark and a few of her Indiana Fever teammates walking through the Dallas airport alongside a security team.

The Bucks had their season come to an end with a 120-98 loss to the Pacers in Game 6 of their first round series in Indianapolis on Thursday night.
An ugly moment from the end of the game is likely going to lead to a big punishment, as Bucks guard Patrick Beverley was seen throwing a ball at Pacers fans not once, but twice, while standing near Milwaukee’s bench in the final minutes.
Charles Barkley rightfully blasted Beverley for his actions, saying the NBA is likely going to suspend him and that it should be a lengthy one.

If you need a shining example of how an NFL team conducts its offseason like a maestro in front of a symphony orchestra, I present to you the Pittsburgh Steelers.
General manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin had a solid but not outstanding team when last season ended in a Jan. 15 playoff loss. 
Everyone understood if the Steelers were going to be better in 2024, they had to find more production on offense, and add playmakers and some depth on defense.
And the upgrades all had to happen on a relatively modest budget.
Mission accomplished.
Bravo, gentlemen.

I truly hope that the discussion about an 18-game NFL regular season was just something to fill the void between the NFL draft and the league’s next pseudo-tentpole event, the schedule release. And isn’t it strange that we feel a void at all? The draft just happened. The start of free agency was seven weeks ago. The Hall of Fame game is 13 weeks away.

How good was Jalen Brunson in the NBA Playoffs against the Knicks? His numbers put him in elite company.
Jalen Brunson has dominated every stop of his career. You can start way back at Stevenson High School in suburban Chicago, when Brunson powered a non-traditional program to three state Final Four appearances and a 2015 state championship on his way to becoming Illinois Mr. Basketball.

Saquon Barkley took to Twitter to blast New York Giants fans Thursday night. They believed they had been given another reason to be angry at him and he urged them to get over it.
Barkley was at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia as the 76ers took on the New York Knicks in Game 6 of their first round NBA playoff series. A newly-minted member of the Philadelphia Eagles, Barkley was there to cheer on the Sixers as they attempted to keep the series alive.
Giants fans couldn’t believe he was in attendance rooting on a rival and made a big stink about it on social media.

The New York Knicks eliminated the Philadelphia 76ers from the NBA playoffs Thursday night, scoring a 118-115 win in Game 6 to take the first round series 4-2. The Knicks fans who made the trek to Philadelphia for the game were not shy afterwards, unleashing a “f— Embiid” chant as they made their way to the exits.
Video of the incident is below, but be warned it contains some bad language.
Embiid faced accusations of being a dirty player during this heated series. In Game 3, he was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an incident involving Knicks center Mitchell Robinson.

Phil Mickelson sees the writing on the wall, but is having a bit of a tough time reading the words out loud.
The thought of retirement has entered the six-time major winner’s mind, but he struggled to express those thoughts out into the world during a recent sitdown with Bloomberg.
“I’m 53 now, and my career, you know, it’s – if I’m being truthful, it’s on – it’s – it’s – I’m a – it’s towards its end,” Mickelson said.

Former Red Bull drivers shared their own experiences working with a living legend
MIAMI — The main character during Thursday’s media sessions at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix was not a driver.
It was an engineer.
With the confirmation that Adrian Newey, the greatest designer in F1 history, would be stepping away from Red Bull in early 2025 coming earlier this week, Newey’s name was a frequent topic of conversation around the paddock on Thursday.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley might be in some serious trouble with the league after his conduct Thursday night.
Beverley and the Bucks got blown out 120-98 to get eliminated in game six of the postseason series, and things hit a breaking point late in the fourth quarter.
The Bucks guard thought it was a smart idea to whip a basketball at random fans, including hitting at least one woman.
