What's really nuts about all of this is that Deion Sanders has a side hustle where he gets paid huge money to be a motivational speaker in corporate events. My old job had him speak at a company wide event last year. I did not attend.

Who the heck will be able to stop the Rangers this playoff season? Or were the Caps just that disinterested? Ovechkin held pointless in the playoffs for his first time ever. After that game one, it kinda looked like he checked out on the season.

Cousins' contract is $100 million guaranteed, right? Just that alone means that the Panthers won't be 100% the butt of all NFC South jokes now. Then drafting Penix in the first round on top of that? /chef's kiss

Oh no, Drake Maye might actually slide down into the 2nd round! My joke scenario might actually play out!!! Ack!!

or that Maye ends up falling to the second round of the NFL draft.
And it's the Panthers that draft him.

The Bronco's seeing the Panthers' moves as something to emulate. I'm sure it will work out just fine when they're still paying Sean Payton after firing him a year and a half into his five year tenure.

I don't think I've ever seen a hockey game where a team scores a goal with their own goalie pulled, then score another goal with both goalies on the ice, then score another goal when the other team's goalie was pulled. All within 90 seconds.

2024 WNBA Draft: First-round grades, full results as Caitlin Clark goes No. 1 to Indiana Fever
No surprise with the #1 overall pick of Caitlin Clark to Indiana. Chicago Sky (really wish that the name would've been Skyline) get 6'7" Kamilla Cordoso of South Carolina (and also the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four) *and* Angel Reese.
As a side note: South Carolina had only one player selected in the draft. Does that mean that the rest of the team returned to college?

The 'not guilty' verdict brought on a wave of white anger over a black man getting away with murder of a beautiful white woman that I will never be able to unpicture. At least from what I witnessed in the South, but I'll bet it wasn't too different up there in northern Michigan. And Norm McDonald's first couple of jokes aimed at OJ were humorous, but boy oh boy did he ever lean hard into that topic. I was just waiting for the n-bombs to eventually come out, but much to his credit, he kept them bottled up. Good for him?

Definitely, the best two teams in college basketball won their D1 championships this year.
I really wish that the superstars with eligibility on the womens side would come back to the college ranks. Keep using that ever higher visibilty platform to continue boosting the game. It looks like the top WNBA salaries are in the $250k range. The college superstars can easily blow past that in NIL money and whatever endorsement deals they land.

I also would not bet against the Sate women's team. They've been giant killers only all season long.

State men's team is 9-0 since sports wagering was offically opened for business. Lotsa of folks losing money betting against them. Meanwhile, I've been winning small amount betting on them. I figure that I can be wrong only once. That and the odds have been giving the favored teams too many points.

As for the State womens team, well, they've just been giant killers all season long.

I think I really pleased the college basketball gods by taking my kid to the redneckiest beach, Carolina Beach, for a daytrip today. She frolicked in the cold ocean like it was a 95 degree July day while everyone else that got hit by tiny splash of water turned to ice. Thankfully, the wife will be taking the kid back to the beach on Sunday for another day in the Atlantic.
I'm feeling that 1974 wanted State to beat Marquette and 1983 wants them to beat Houston. Sorry Duke fans, but your team will not make it past tonight. Don't take it out on coach Scheyer, it's just what the college basketball gods have ordained in the brackets.

Here's a quick video with a local lawyer of why the Florida State and Clem's Son suits against the ACC to break the grant of media rights deal will more than likely fail.
tl;dw: both schools willingly entered into the deal not just once, but twice and the only thing that has changed since then is market conditions and that is not a valid reason to break a contract.
I'd espcially like to get an opinion from our law talking guy on this.
