It appears Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy was sold on the Minnesota Vikings long before they made him the 10th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. "When I covered Michigan's spring game for Fox a couple of weeks ago, I ran into McCarthy, as members of the 2023 team were there for their ring ceremony," Joel Klatt of Fox Sports revealed. "I got a chance to talk with him for a little bit about the draft process before asking him where he wanted to end up. He told me that he wanted to end up in Minnesota, saying he would 'love' to...

Mystik Dan won by photo finish at the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, but the historic moment didn't come without controversy. Down the stretch run, second-place finisher Sierra Leone and Japanese horse Forever Young engaged in what appeared to be legal bumping.

LeBron James is widely expected to re-sign with the Lakers as a free agent this offseason. The Athletic reports that the Rob Pelinka-led front office is "open" to offering the four-time NBA champion a three-year max contract worth $164 million to remain in Los Angeles.Draymond Green, though, wonders if his fellow Kutch Sports colleague has decided on his next — and likely final — destination in the NBA. "Some people think it's a foregone conclusion that 'Bron is going back to the Lakers," Green said on "The Draymond Green Show" recently. "I don't know if it's a foregone conclusion. I think...

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers may not like each other, but they do respect one another (sometimes). The fifth-year option deadline came and went on Thursday, and Steelers running back Najee Harris was among the 12 players who didn't have their option accepted. This means that Harris will be a free agent following the 2024 season. Among the other players that didn't have their option accepted were No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson, Steelers quarterback Justin Fields and Kansas City Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney.

Now that the Los Angeles Lakers are watching the rest of the playoffs from home, they’ll have plenty of time to ponder offseason targets, trades, and signings. Losing to the Denver Nuggets for the second straight year certainly put a dent in their roster confidence, and apparently, their head coaching, too, so it’s safe to say that there are decisions to be made.

It seems like the one-year marriage between Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton and current Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson was even rockier than outsiders thought this past winter. Per Joe Clark of Steelers Depot, NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala of CBS Sports shared some alarming information during a Friday appearance on the "Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show" about Wilson's struggles playing under Payton during the 2023 season. "He was constantly climbing out of the back of the pocket," Kinkhabwala said about Wilson.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Boston, MA

The Boston Celtics did a good job of avoiding the upset and getting past the Miami Heat in the first round. The Heat made things interesting early as they stole game two on the road, but the Celtics won the next three games to win the series in five.

One issue for Boston moving forward, however, is that Kristaps Porzingis is currently batting an injury.
