We start Rapid Fire with what we are most looking forward to with Notre Dame's 2023 football season. Other topics include: *Does Notre Dame hiring Gino Guidugli and Joe Rudolph outweigh losing Brian Mason?   *Fill-in the blanks...Notre Dame men's basketball opens ACC Tournament play tonight against Virginia Tech. It would be BLANK if they win two games to advance to the tournament quarterfinals and BLANK if they win three games to make it to the semifinals Friday night.   *Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles is confident he can get first round draft picks in both 2024 and 2025 in a trade for the Bears No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft. The Colts are one of the teams in desperate need of a franchise quarterback. Would you want your team to give up those picks to move up three spots to the top of the draft?   *The NCAA's rules committee has recommended the adoption of three rules changes for the upcoming season. The biggest change is a running clock after first downs...with the exception of the last two minutes of each half. Do you Buy or Sell it?  *The SEC is looking at the possibility of playing a 9-game conference schedule with no divisions once Oklahoma and Texas join the conference. If they do that they would play three permanent rivals every year and rotate the other six opponents. Alabama's three perennial teams would be LSU...Auburn and Tennessee.  Nick Saban isn't happy with that. He says ”If you play more games I think you have to get the three fixed opponents right. They're giving us Tennessee, Auburn and LSU. I don't know how they come to that decision.” Are his complaints Fair or Foul?  *Rich Eisen said on his radio show that he's heard Tom Brady could un-retire for a second straight year.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 5, Detroit Tigers 4 Kansas City Royals 6, Chicago White Sox 0 Atlanta Braves 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Twins 5, Tigers 4 – Tigers throw it away: Wild toss in 9th gives Twins crazy win Detroit catcher Eric Haase made a throwing error on a botched rundown, capping a chaotic play that gave the Minnesota Twins two runs for a 5-4 win over the Tigers. Miguel Sanó had the final hit for the Twins — and his ill-advised baserunning wound up helping them win their fifth in a row. The Twins trailed 4-3 when Detroit closer Gregory Soto walked Trevor Larnach and Gio Urshela to start the inning. With one out, Sanó hit a line drive that glanced off right fielder Robbie Grossman’s glove and rolled to the wall for a rocket of a single. Larnach was held up at third base, but Sanó kept running toward second and Twins runners seemed trapped. But Haase throw soared over third baseman Jeimer Candelario’s head and two runs scored. Royals 6, White Sox 0 – Lynch shines as Royals blank slumping White Sox 6-0 Daniel Lynch pitched six crisp innings and the Kansas City Royals handed the Chicago White Sox their eighth straight loss with a 6-0 victory. Bobby Witt Jr. had two hits and Carlos Santana drove in two runs, helping Kansas City stop a four-game slide. The Royals were outscored 22-12 in a sweep at Seattle over the weekend. Lynch allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked two. The White Sox issued 11 walks and committed two more errors, running their major league-leading total to 20. It’s the longest losing streak for Chicago since it dropped eight in a row in June 2018. Braves 3, Cubs 1 – Demeritte, Fried lead Braves to needed win, 3-1 over Cubs Travis Demeritte hit his first big league homer in nearly three years and made a sliding catch to back another strong outing by Max Fried. That gave the Atlanta Braves a much-needed 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The reigning World Series champions won for only the third time in their last eight games. The Cubs have now lost six of seven. Fried pitched four-hit ball over six innings. His only big mistake was a changeup that Ian Happ took deep leading off the third. Demeritte broke up a 1-1 tie in the fifth with a homer into the Chop House restaurant off Marcus Stroman. Today Kansas City (Greinke 0-1) at Chicago White Sox (Cease 2-1), 2:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Leiter Jr. 0-1) at Atlanta (Morton 1-2), 7:20 p.m. Detroit (Pineda 1-0) at Minnesota (Ryan 2-1), 7:40 p.m.                       WSJM/WCSY 7:20 MLB – White Sox OF Eloy Jiménez has surgery to repair torn tendon Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jiménez has undergone surgery to repair a torn hamstring tendon behind his right knee. The White Sox expect Jiménez to return in six to eight weeks. Jiménez got hurt during Saturday’s 9-2 loss at Minnesota when he stretched for first base while running out a grounder to third. The 25-year-old slugger stumbled after the play and his right knee appeared to lock up. Jiménez’s injury is similar to the one that sidelined White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal for almost two months last season. NCAA – NCAA President Mark Emmert stepping down no later than 2023 NCAA President Mark Emmert is stepping down after 12 years on the job. NCAA Board of Governors Chairman John DeGioia announced the move and said it was by mutual agreement. Emmert will continue to serve in his role until a new president is selected and in place or until June 30, 2023. Emmert was appointed to the job in April 2010. He had led the University of Washington and LSU prior to taking over at the NCAA. The job has changed radically since then. Golf – The Open – Record crowd of nearly 300K expected for Open at St. Andrews The British Open had a modest return of fans last year because of the pandemic. Now it’s full capacity and the R&A expects a record turnout for St. Andrews this summer. Organizers anticipate 290,000 spectators at the Old Course. That would smash the record of 239,000 at St. Andrews in 2000 when Tiger Woods completed the career Grand Slam. Woods will be back at St. Andrews for the sixth time. NBA – National Basketball Association – 2022 NBA Playoffs – First Round Last Night Miami Heat 97, Atlanta Hawks 94                                      (MIA Wins 4-1) Memphis Grizzlies 111, Minnesota Timberwolves 109         (MEM Leads 3-2) Phoenix Suns 112, New Orleans Pelicans 97                     (PHX Leads 3-2) Tonight Chicago Bulls at Milwaukee Bucks, 7:30 p.m.                     (MIL Leads 3-1) Denver Nuggets at Golden State Warriors, 10:00 p.m.      (GSW Leads 3-1) NBA – LaVine enters health protocols with Bulls trailing Bucks 3-1 The Chicago Bulls might have to get by without Zach LaVine when they try to avoid playoff elimination by the Milwaukee Bucks. The two-time All-Star is in the NBA’s health and safety protocols. The Bucks lead the first-round series 3-1 and will try to wrap up the series in Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Coach Billy Donovan says LaVine wasn’t feeling great.He is in the health and safety protocols for the third time in a year. He tested positive for the coronavirus last April and again in December. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Toronto Maple Leafs 3, Detroit Red Wings 0 Maple Leafs 3, Red Wings 0 – Matthews scores 2 to reach 60 goals as Leafs top Wings 3-0 Auston Matthews scored two goals to reach 60 for the season as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Detroit Red Wings 3-0 to clinch home-ice advantage in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The 24-year-old, who snapped a five-game goal drought, is the first player to score 60 times in a campaign since Steven Stamkos in 2011-12. John Tavares had the other goal and Jack Campbell made 20 saves to register his fifth shutout of the season for Toronto (53-21-7), which set a franchise record with its 30th home victory of the season. William Nylander added two assists. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 33 shots for Detroit (31-40-10). Tonight Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. NHL – Customs seizes counterfeit 1936 Red Wings’ Stanley Cup rings U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seized 10 counterfeit Stanley Cup rings for the 1936 Detroit Red Wings championship team due to trademark violations. Customs officers at the Port of Champlain facility in New York found the rings valued at $15,000 earlier this month after examining a shipment. CBP said the shipment violated the intellectual property rights of the Red Wings’ trademark. The 1936 Red Wings beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Cup Final. NFL – Lions exercise 5th-year option on tight end T.J. Hockenson The Detroit Lions have exercised their fifth-year option on tight end T.J. Hockenson. A first-round pick in 2019 out of Iowa, Hockenson has 160 receptions for 1,673 yards and 12 touchdowns in his three seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020. NFL – Bears GM Ryan Poles interested in acquiring more draft picks With so many roster holes heading into his first NFL draft, Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles is looking closely for trade partners so the team can acquire more picks. The Bears have six picks and none in the first or fourth rounds. Poles doesn’t necessarily view it as a situation where he’s pressured to find a receiver or offensive lineman in a particular spot to help quarterback Justin Fields. But he is looking to elevate the team overall. Poles likens what he has done with the roster so far to what he and his wife see on home-improvement shows on television. NFL – Fountains, scubas, slot machines, Ferris wheel and NFL draft NFL draft night on Thursday will include prospects walking a red carpet above the Bellagio fountains, a theater built specifically for the proceedings where they hope to hear their names called early, and the aura of gambling everywhere. It’s a different look for a league that long shunned any association with betting. There’s no question this draft has the flavor of Sin City. The league seems very pleased about that. The draft will also spotlight the league’s partnership with casino company Caesars Entertainment.           IIHF – Russia removed as host of 2023 worlds in men’s ice hockey Russia has been removed as host of the 2023 world championship in men’s ice hockey. The tournament was to be played in Vladimir Putin’s home city St. Petersburg. The International Ice Hockey Federation cites “concern for the safety and well-being of all participating players, officials, media, and fans” for the decision. It was the latest blow to Russia in its favored winter sports in the fallout from the country’s war on Ukraine. Ice hockey’s decision comes one day after Russia’s signature annual international figure skating competition was pulled. Tennis – Djokovic can play at Wimbledon; no vaccination required The All England Club says Novak Djokovic will be allowed to defend his title at Wimbledon despite not being vaccinated against COVID-19 because the shots are not required to enter Britain. Djokovic is a 34-year-old from Serbia who is ranked No. 1. He missed the Australian Open in January after being deported from that country because he had not received the vaccination against the illness caused by the coronavirus. Wimbledon starts on June 27. All England Club Chief Executive Sally Bolton said during Tuesday’s annual briefing that vaccination will not be a condition of entry for players to compete at the Grand Slam tournament this year. Tennis – Wimbledon defends ‘agonizing decision’ to ban Russians All England Club officials are defending the decision to bar players from Russia and Belarus from Wimbledon this year because of the invasion of Ukraine. Club Chief Executive Sally Bolton says there is a responsibility to limit the possibility of Russians’ success at Wimbledon being used as a propaganda tool by that country. Reigning U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev is among the prominent players affected by the ban. Medvedev recently reached No. 1 in the rankings and is currently No. 2. After Russia attacked Ukraine in February — with help from Belarus — tennis players from Russia and Belarus were able to continue competing but as “neutral” athletes not formally representing their nations. Horse Racing – 2nd horse in 2 days dies in training at Santa Anita A filly has died after suffering a training injury at Santa Anita in what is the track’s second such death in two days and fifth this year. According to the California Horse Racing Board, the 4-year-old filly named Cayton Kid suffered a musculoskeletal injury at the Arcadia track. A 3-year-old filly named Magnolia suffered the same type of training injury Monday and was euthanized. Of the five deaths at Santa Anita this year, four happened during training and one during a race. That’s down sharply from the 42 horse deaths at the track in 2019, which prompted a slew of rules changes.

Tonight Vegas Golden Knights at Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 p.m. NHL – Customs seizes counterfeit 1936 Red Wings’ Stanley Cup rings U.S. Customs and Border Protection has seized 10 counterfeit Stanley Cup rings for the 1936 Detroit Red Wings championship team due to trademark violations. Customs officers at the Port of Champlain facility in New York found the rings valued at $15,000 earlier this month after examining a shipment. CBP said the shipment violated the intellectual property rights of the Red Wings’ trademark. The 1936 Red Wings beat the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Cup Final. NFL – Lions exercise 5th-year option on tight end T.J. Hockenson The Detroit Lions have exercised their fifth-year option on tight end T.J. Hockenson. A first-round pick in 2019 out of Iowa, Hockenson has 160 receptions for 1,673 yards and 12 touchdowns in his three seasons. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020. NFL – Bears GM Ryan Poles interested in acquiring more draft picks With so many roster holes heading into his first NFL draft, Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles is looking closely for trade partners so the team can acquire more picks. The Bears have six picks and none in the first or fourth rounds. Poles doesn’t necessarily view it as a situation where he’s pressured to find a receiver or offensive lineman in a particular spot to help quarterback Justin Fields. But he is looking to elevate the team overall. Poles likens what he has done with the roster so far to what he and his wife see on home-improvement shows on television. NFL – Fountains, scubas, slot machines, Ferris wheel and NFL draft NFL draft night on Thursday will include prospects walking a red carpet above the Bellagio fountains, a theater built specifically for the proceedings where they hope to hear their names called early, and the aura of gambling everywhere. It’s a different look for a league that long shunned any association with betting. There’s no question this draft has the flavor of Sin City. The league seems very pleased about that. The draft will also spotlight the league’s partnership with casino company Caesars Entertainment.           IIHF – Russia removed as host of 2023 worlds in men’s ice hockey Russia has been removed as host of the 2023 world championship in men’s ice hockey. The tournament was to be played in Vladimir Putin’s home city St. Petersburg. The International Ice Hockey Federation cites “concern for the safety and well-being of all participating players, officials, media, and fans” for the decision. It was the latest blow to Russia in its favored winter sports in the fallout from the country’s war on Ukraine. Ice hockey’s decision comes one day after Russia’s signature annual international figure skating competition was pulled. Tennis – Djokovic can play at Wimbledon; no vaccination required The All England Club says Novak Djokovic will be allowed to defend his title at Wimbledon despite not being vaccinated against COVID-19 because the shots are not required to enter Britain. Djokovic is a 34-year-old from Serbia who is ranked No. 1. He missed the Australian Open in January after being deported from that country because he had not received the vaccination against the illness caused by the coronavirus. Wimbledon starts on June 27. All England Club Chief Executive Sally Bolton said during Tuesday’s annual briefing that vaccination will not be a condition of entry for players to compete at the Grand Slam tournament this year. Tennis – Wimbledon defends ‘agonizing decision’ to ban Russians All England Club officials are defending the decision to bar players from Russia and Belarus from Wimbledon this year because of the invasion of Ukraine. Club Chief Executive Sally Bolton says there is a responsibility to limit the possibility of Russians’ success at Wimbledon being used as a propaganda tool by that country. Reigning U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev is among the prominent players affected by the ban. Medvedev recently reached No. 1 in the rankings and is currently No. 2. After Russia attacked Ukraine in February — with help from Belarus — tennis players from Russia and Belarus were able to continue competing but as “neutral” athletes not formally representing their nations. Horse Racing – 2nd horse in 2 days dies in training at Santa Anita A filly has died after suffering a training injury at Santa Anita in what is the track’s second such death in two days and fifth this year. According to the California Horse Racing Board, the 4-year-old filly named Cayton Kid suffered a musculoskeletal injury at the Arcadia track. A 3-year-old filly named Magnolia suffered the same type of training injury Monday and was euthanized. Of the five deaths at Santa Anita this year, four happened during training and one during a race. That’s down sharply from the 42 horse deaths at the track in 2019, which prompted a slew of rules changes.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Minnesota Twins 5, Detroit Tigers 4 Kansas City Royals 6, Chicago White Sox 0 Atlanta Braves 3, Chicago Cubs 1 Twins 5, Tigers 4 – Tigers throw it away: Wild toss in 9th gives Twins crazy win Detroit catcher Eric Haase made a throwing error on a botched rundown, capping a chaotic play that gave the Minnesota Twins two runs for a 5-4 win over the Tigers. Miguel Sanó had the final hit for the Twins — and his ill-advised baserunning wound up helping them win their fifth in a row. The Twins trailed 4-3 when Detroit closer Gregory Soto walked Trevor Larnach and Gio Urshela to start the inning. With one out, Sanó hit a line drive that glanced off right fielder Robbie Grossman’s glove and rolled to the wall for a rocket of a single. Larnach was held up at third base, but Sanó kept running toward second and Twins runners seemed trapped. But Haase throw soared over third baseman Jeimer Candelario’s head and two runs scored. Royals 6, White Sox 0 – Lynch shines as Royals blank slumping White Sox 6-0 Daniel Lynch pitched six crisp innings and the Kansas City Royals handed the Chicago White Sox their eighth straight loss with a 6-0 victory. Bobby Witt Jr. had two hits and Carlos Santana drove in two runs, helping Kansas City stop a four-game slide. The Royals were outscored 22-12 in a sweep at Seattle over the weekend. Lynch allowed two hits, struck out seven and walked two. The White Sox issued 11 walks and committed two more errors, running their major league-leading total to 20. It’s the longest losing streak for Chicago since it dropped eight in a row in June 2018. Braves 3, Cubs 1 – Demeritte, Fried lead Braves to needed win, 3-1 over Cubs Travis Demeritte hit his first big league homer in nearly three years and made a sliding catch to back another strong outing by Max Fried. That gave the Atlanta Braves a much-needed 3-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The reigning World Series champions won for only the third time in their last eight games. The Cubs have now lost six of seven. Fried pitched four-hit ball over six innings. His only big mistake was a changeup that Ian Happ took deep leading off the third. Demeritte broke up a 1-1 tie in the fifth with a homer into the Chop House restaurant off Marcus Stroman. Today Kansas City (Greinke 0-1) at Chicago White Sox (Cease 2-1), 2:10 p.m. Chicago Cubs (Leiter Jr. 0-1) at Atlanta (Morton 1-2), 7:20 p.m. Detroit (Pineda 1-0) at Minnesota (Ryan 2-1), 7:40 p.m.                       WSJM/WCSY 7:20 MLB – White Sox OF Eloy Jiménez has surgery to repair torn tendon Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jiménez has undergone surgery to repair a torn hamstring tendon behind his right knee. The White Sox expect Jiménez to return in six to eight weeks. Jiménez got hurt during Saturday’s 9-2 loss at Minnesota when he stretched for first base while running out a grounder to third. The 25-year-old slugger stumbled after the play and his right knee appeared to lock up. Jiménez’s injury is similar to the one that sidelined White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal for almost two months last season. NCAA – NCAA President Mark Emmert stepping down no later than 2023 NCAA President Mark Emmert is stepping down after 12 years on the job. NCAA Board of Governors Chairman John DeGioia announced the move and said it was by mutual agreement. Emmert will continue to serve in his role until a new president is selected and in place or until June 30, 2023. Emmert was appointed to the job in April 2010. He had led the University of Washington and LSU prior to taking over at the NCAA. The job has changed radically since then. Golf – The Open – Record crowd of nearly 300K expected for Open at St. Andrews The British Open had a modest return of fans last year because of the pandemic. Now it’s full capacity and the R&A expects a record turnout for St. Andrews this summer. Organizers anticipate 290,000 spectators at the Old Course. That would smash the record of 239,000 at St. Andrews in 2000 when Tiger Woods completed the career Grand Slam. Woods will be back at St. Andrews for the sixth time.

Coach Billy Donovan says LaVine wasn’t feeling great.He is in the health and safety protocols for the third time in a year. He tested positive for the coronavirus last April and again in December. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Toronto Maple Leafs 3, Detroit Red Wings 0 Maple Leafs 3, Red Wings 0 – Matthews scores 2 to reach 60 goals as Leafs top Wings 3-0 Auston Matthews scored two goals to reach 60 for the season as the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Detroit Red Wings 3-0 to clinch home-ice advantage in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The 24-year-old, who snapped a five-game goal drought, is the first player to score 60 times in a campaign since Steven Stamkos in 2011-12. John Tavares had the other goal and Jack Campbell made 20 saves to register his fifth shutout of the season for Toronto (53-21-7), which set a franchise record with its 30th home victory of the season. William Nylander added two assists. Alex Nedeljkovic stopped 33 shots for Detroit (31-40-10).
