The last Alabama draft class that Nick Saban can claim just came together in Detroit over the weekend. While guys like Dallas Turner and Terrion Arnold stole the show as first-round picks, it was kicker Will Reichard coming off the board that allowed Saban to do something impressive. With Reichard being drafted, Saban had at least one player at every position drafted while at Alabama.

With the second overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders selected Jayden Daniels from LSU, but he's clearly not the right selection. A second-round prospect with concerning qualities, Jayden Daniels finds himself going second overall to the Commanders, making him the first pick of the Adam Peters and Dan Quinn era.

As the dust settles on another NFL Draft weekend, winners and losers are being sorted out among the many grades being handed down by experts. Mostly the fallout will focus on the incoming rookies and the teams that drafted them, but the biggest winner for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was already on the roster. Baker Mayfield signed a $105 million contract this offseason but he got a lot richer thanks to what the Bucs did at the draft.

Nearly everyone was hoping that the Baltimore Orioles were going to carry Jackson Holliday on their Opening Day roster, but instead the team declared that Holliday didn't have quite enough experience to make that leap yet. When the Orioles called him up a couple weeks in the regular season, the masses rejoiced, and some even made fun of the fact that it was the decision that the Orioles should have made all along.

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients. It's been recently reported he will be released from prison this summer to a halfway house. Victims and families of victims are most likely disappointed and furious and understandably so.

Through roughly the first month of the 2024 MLB season, the Chicago Cubs have looked the part under new management. Skipper Craig Counsell would have the Cubs in the NL postseason if the season ended today, albeit as the No. 5 seed with a 17-10 record. Counsell came over from the division rival Milwaukee Brewers to take this team to heights David Ross could never seem to reach.

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.

The Lakers extended its series on Saturday night, beating the defending champions Denver Nuggets 119-108, but still are viewed as unlikely to make this a competitive series. The series started with the Nuggets as -450 favorites with the Lakers about +300 underdogs, and down 3-1, still aren't given much credit, +1800 to just advance out of the first round against Denver.

Is there a team in the NBA more disappointing than the Phoenix Suns? The Suns entered the season with championship aspirations after acquiring Bradley Beal to join forces with the star-studded duo of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker yet all they could manage was the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference.
