A judge ruled he has to serve a 2-game suspension, then he can play college football for the rest of the 2026 season. That's insane.Already, multiple teams around the Big 12 are saying they'll refuse to play Texas Tech if the ruling stands. The Big 12 commissioner has a sticky situation on his hands. This is going to get worse before it gets better.15:09 - Sean Payton loves him some Jaylen Waddle. Jaleel McLaughlin loves him some Jaylen Waddle. Garret Bolles loves him some Jaylen Waddle!

Literally. 80 degrees is apocalyptic in England. Get ready to learn 98 degrees with 90% humidity in Florida, buddy. Oh, by the way...did anyone watch the Pat McAfee simulcast of the NBA Finals last night?Oh, by the way...the Nashville Predators are evaluating players at the NHL Combine by making them stack golf balls. Huh?

What's a "good" batting average these days? Is .300 still the gold standard?Oh, by the way...Jacob "The Miz" Misiorowski was throwing FIRE for the Brew Crew at Coors Field this weekend. He threw the fastest pitch ever recorded by a starting pitcher in MLB history. What are you supposed to do with that, man!Oh, by the way...how much would you pay to own a folding chair that Taylor Swift sat in courtside at Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals?
