data-mm-id=”_du4wrtyhj”>The 2023 NBA Draft takes place Thursday night in Brooklyn as we'll see a new wave of stars joining the league. In an interesting twist this year, a number of the top prospects didn't play college basketball. That said, a ton of college stars will be selected in the first round, giving their respective programs bragging rights in the process. Here's a look at the schools that have produced the most first-round picks since the NBA started the draft back in 1950. Not surprisingly, the team with the most first-round picks is Kentucky. The blue blood SEC program has produced 57 first-rounders, including two in 2022 (Shaedon Sharpe and TyTy Washington). Coming in just behind Kentucky are basketball's fiercest rivals tied in second. Yes, North Caro…
data-mm-id=”_d2gnmh82u”>Kevin McCarthy was removed as Speaker of the House on Tuesday after a rebellion from within his own party led by Matt Gaetz. Democrats voted with eight Republicans to remove McCarthy, setting off potential chaos in the lower chamber. After the Speaker was removed, Patrick McHenry replaced him as Speaker pro tempore until a new election for a replacement is held. McHenry is a close McCarthy ally and he was not happy with the result. And you could tell how angry he was based on how he treated the Speaker's gavel.Following the vote, Republicans adjourned the House to go into a conference meeting and decide the next step. As McHenry gaveled the session to recess, he absolutely hammered the thing down in anger. He swung the wooden hammer like he was trying to sp…
data-mm-id=”_d8cwxpi30″>Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Monday morning to debunk one of last week's most amusing news stories. Trump was responding to the story from last week about the portion of Liz Cheney's book that claimed Kevin McCarthy had visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after January 6th because Trump was depressed and not eating. Trump says this is false. He was actually mad and eating a lot. Via Truth Social:"Crazy Liz Cheney, who suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome at a level rarely seen before, writes in her boring new book that Keven McCarthy said he came to Mar-a-Lago after the RIGGED election because, “the former president was depressed and not eating.” That statement is not true. I was not depressed, I WAS ANGRY, and it was not that I was not …
data-mm-id=”_po6n5zlne”>In yet another example of how we've seen the impact of shame completely disappear in society, the Boston Red Sox have refused to spend basically any money all offseason. They traded away most of their big salaries and let any free agent who wanted a raise walk. The front office leaked that it was "interested" in most big-name free agents but was never actually close to signing them. Now, with spring training underway and the roster mostly set, it has become apparent that the Red Sox were operating on a budget that kept them far from the Competitive Balance Tax in order to save ownership money and effectively punt on the 2024 season. This is quite embarrassing for one of baseball's most historic franchises and one of the most successful teams …
data-mm-id=”_ejkvlzys8″>As Tom Brady's playing career fades further into the distance, certain things about him will grow more remarkable. The winning will always be impressive but the longevity may end up becoming the second-most impressive thing about him. Not only that he suited up for the most punishing sport in the country for 24 consecutive seasons, but that his physical attributes never faded. In fact, they even improved in some ways. Obviously it's natural for an elite athlete to get better, faster, and/or stronger as their career goes on. But there is supposed to be a peak and then a decline. Brady never got to that point, as exhibited by him leading the NFL in completions and attempts while ranking third in total passing yards in his last season at the age of 45 wit…

Hurts, who expressed excitement about this increased leadership role, has garnered significant praise from Kelce himself.

"I think him taking on this responsibility is going to accelerate his game across the board," Kelce said. Jason Kelce adds context to Jalen Hurts’ comments on 94WIP, saying he believes Hurts taking on a bigger role in pass protection wil…

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has labelled Manchester City striker Erling Haaland a spoilt brat after he was upset at being substituted against Wolves.
Keane compared the Norweigan international to a League Two player when referring to his general play at the end of March.
During an interview with a broadcaster from Norway following his four goals against Wolves on Saturday, Haaland swatted aside the former Manchester United midfielder s criticism.
I don’t really care that much about that man, so that’s all right, .
Any bitterness is likely rooted in Keane’s long-running feud with Haaland’s father Alf-Inge. The Irishman was notoriously sent off after folding him like a deck chair in a Manchester derby 23 years ago.
