🏀 The Celtics need bench scoring to win it all. @cedricmaxwell81 says a bucket-getter is the key—not another big man. Who should they target at the trade deadline?

Hi @kguregian!

[Mike Reiss @MikeReiss]

Ann Michael Maye on tonight’s MayeDay Celebrity Softball Classic … and how quickly things have evolved in New England.

"You get Giannis for Jaylen Brown and then you go get Lebron."

@GoodmanHoops has a WILD vision for the Celtics offseason... is there any way this team-up happens? 🫨

When a football accounts engagement rate is getting dangerously low, you can always count on them to post this clip

Never Forget LSU’s viral White House visit 😂

The Brewers have unlocked Kyle Harrison.

✔️Arm angle from 27° to 33°
✔️4-seam usage from 46% to 59%
✔️Kick change grip, adding 4" of drop

Pound-for-pound, the best org in ball.

@RedSox fuck you

Why, what happened?

[ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk]

Last year, Mike Vrabel participated in the Patriots' pre-draft press conference. This year, Vrabel reportedly won't be participating. https://t.co/6lBxiMvBXb

The Tiger Woods conversation has changed.

The question is not whether he can still make one more run at Augusta.

It’s whether golf finally stops being the center of the discussion long enough for the real issue to get addressed.

Our latest on Woods’ latest arrest and what actually matters now:

Another game, another Red Sox loss that already feels way too familiar.

Hunter Brown dominated.
Brayan Bello couldn’t finish innings.
The defense got messy again.
The bats stayed cold.
And Boston has now lost 4 straight.

The Red Sox needed more certainty this offseason.

Instead, they bought more theory.

Four games in, the “pitching and defense” plan is already looking fragile:
Suárez 8.31 ERA
Gray 6.75 ERA
Oviedo 9.00 ERA
Durbin 0-14
Contreras 1-12

Ranger Suárez wasn’t great in his Red Sox debut.
But he also wasn’t the whole problem.

The bigger issue is how quickly this team starts to look shaky when the pitching is anything less than sharp and the offense goes quiet again.

The new MLB ABS system did not ruin baseball.

It made one of the sport’s worst old habits harder to defend.

Bad strike calls are getting fixed.
Catchers are out-reading umpires.
And the “human element” argument already looks shakier than ever.

Wilyer Abreu stayed hot.
The offense disappeared in the big moments again.
And one Greg Weissert mistake flipped the game.
