Round one of the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh is 3 weeks from tomorrow! I spoke with two officials from the NFL who shared new details — including watching the draft from a place that’s never been done before, and a fan experience fans are going to be really excited for.

A Rutgers grad is suing his alma mater for "wasteful spending, lack of oversight, and other gross negligence” that has “harmed New Jersey taxpayers“ as its athletics department racked up a half-billion dollar deficit over the past decade. nj.com/rutgers/2026/0…

7300 for a cat 2 ticket for final? Yeah the game is killed and buried by @FIFAcom @World_Cup_Guide

Was at the game last night and was surprised how emotional I got when Ovi scored and I thought, "That may be the last time I see Ovi score in person. That may be the last goal he ever scores in Capital One Arena." And of course, he scored again.

Sananda Fru is a huge name to enter the portal, especially given the market for skilled bigs. Fru becomes the 2nd highest rated player in the transfer portal at EvanMiya.com, behind Colorado's Isaiah Johnson.

Column: Spent the day digging into NCAA Tournament shocker shot history to see where the Braylon Mullins bomb ranks. Distilled it to a dozen shots -- not necessarily in order of greatness, but the ones that left us slackjawed. From 12 to 1: bit.ly/4uWR2q9

Both Final Four spreads are now down to -1.5, with Illinois and Michigan favored... This would be first time in 60+ yrs both semifinal lines close under -2. Can't wait for Saturday.

Dan Quinn said that #Commanders OL Brandon Coleman will start the year at guard but could move to center during the training camp/OTAs, per @DHarrison82 DQ said yesterday that Nick Allegretti and Julian Good-Jones would begin the year competing at center

Michigan State HC Tom Izzo reveals he was in talks with the Phoenix #Suns: "I've had more than a couple job offers in the NBA, looked at one last year with Phoenix – my former player Mat Ishbia. That was hard, that was a hard thing to turn down... we talked seriously about it."

Chase ending Hyatt as a transfer partner and replacing it with Air India 🚨 After reports came out that Chase is losing $50 million a year on their Hyatt partnership, Chase is removing the ability to transfer points to Hyatt after April 31, 2026. In a survey Chase sent out to customers, respondents said they wanted Air India as a replacement for Hyatt citing the difficulty booking it via Air Canada Aeroplan. To celebrate their new partnership, Chase will be offering a 100% transfer bonus to Air India starting May 1st, 2026. Will you be transferring? *sloof lirpa*

Uh oh. Double digit percentage for the first time in weeks. It was at 2% at one point. Now at 15% #ALLCAPS

Somto Cyril immediately jumps to No. 1 on my transfer portal board. He would make literally any team that doesn't use its bigs on-ball WAY better. Absurd rim finisher, shot blocker, and offensive rebounder. Needs to work on the FTs and the defensive glass.

Since the @GrindingMocks go back to 2018 and only the top 50 are public, who have been the biggest reaches in the 1st rd of the NFL draft? The list is really ugly and shows trying to outsmart the wisdom of the crowds is very likely not a smart decision. Its also no wonder it was the last time a GM like Howie Roseman reached to that degree.

New Athletic playoff percentages: Caps go from 11 to 19 percent this morning, passing Philly at 18 percent. Bruins and Pens both above 95 percent, but no one else in running for last two spots above 50. nytimes.com/athletic/66947…
