The past week has featured a number of rather important sports stories.  Some are quite newsworthy and will have lasting impact.  Others seem to be overblown stories being pushed by the media just to meet deadline requirements. How do you view these stories?  News or Snooze? Oklahoma Sooners downed North Carolina to claim the men’s College World Series title A: Newsworthy The SEC just won its seventh consecutive men’s College World Series baseball title after unseeded Oklahoma blasted the favored and #5 seed North Carolina Tar Heels 13-2 on Monday night in Omaha. OU’s “Slugging Sooners” K-O’d every opponent they faced during the postseason in their unprecedented march to college baseball’s national title. Oklahoma barely made it into the NCAA 64-team tournament field.  OU finished in 11th place in the SEC regular season with a lowly 14-16 conference record. The Sooners took advantage of their good fortune to make the college baseball playoffs and took down #2 seed Georgia Tech in Atlanta in the opening round. They next traveled to #15 Kansas in the Super Regionals and swept the Jayhawks right out of the tournament. In Omaha, OU took down #7 Alabama and #3 Georgia to earn a spot in the best-of-three title series against #5 North Carolina. Yes, Oklahoma definitely caught fire at the right time of the season.  It was their first baseball title since 1994. Well done, Sooners! Last week, troubled college QB Brendan Sorsby entered the NFL Supplemental Draft.  This week, the NFL canceled their own Supplemental Draft. A: Snooze worthy I just can’t muster up a lot of tears for either Brendan Sorsby or Texas Tech right now.  If anyone was wearing the black hat this week, it was definitely the NFL. Brendan Sorsby (as we’ll explain later) made a timely application to the NFL before the league’s Monday, June 22 deadline to enter the Supplemental Draft. On Tuesday, the pro football league completely hosed this young man by abruptly canceling its annual Supplemental Draft.  The event is normally conducted in August for a handful of eligible football players who did not participate in April’s seven-round selection process. As you may recall, Brendan Sorsby was the young man who admitted to betting on college football games (including those of his own team) along with many other sports. This spring, he acknowledged having a gambling addiction and went away for counseling and treatment.  Upon completion of the program, the NCAA ruled that Sorsby was still ineligible to play football this fall at Texas Tech as an incoming transfer student.  Sorsby then sued the NCAA in a final attempt to regain his eligibility. With unprecedented speed, a court in northwest Texas ruled that Brendan Sorsby could, indeed, play football this fall for the Red Raiders.  His trial vs. the NCAA was generously moved to begin during February, 2027 (long after this year’s football season ends). The Big 12 Conference objected, too.  They wanted Sorsby banned this season for breaking the rules on gambling.  The conference met to determine an appopriate punishment for Texas Tech if Sorsby hit the field this fall for the Red Raiders. Sorsby (as we predicted) did the right thing last week.  He said adios to Texas Tech and declared his intention to participate in the NFL’s Supplemental Draft.  The NFL then pulled the rug on this event and left Sorsby homeless (football-wise) for this fall. Don’t feel sad for Brendan Sorsby, though.  Texas Tech (whose athletics program is supported by several wealthy energy leaders) agreed to pay the young man the estimated $5 million his 2026 NIL deal is worth anyway. Invest it well, young man! Speaking of drafts, the NBA held its annual player draft this week A: Snooze worthy Quick!  Tell me the first round NBA selection made by your favorite NBA team on Tuesday night. Even many of the players being selected during the first and second rounds of the NBA Draft didn’t even know where they would be playing. That’s because an incredible 27 of the 60 players taken in Rounds 1 and 2 of the NBA Draft were immediately traded by the team which had just selected them. What’s going on here? The first 12 selections in Round 1 will be playing (for now) for the teams which drafted them.  Ten of the next 18 players selected were shipped to another team moments after receiving a ceremonial team cap and shaking NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s hand on-stage. Round 2 was an even bigger mess.  A total of 17 of the 30 players (57%) picked in the second round were immediately traded to another team. Outside of the first 12 players selected in Round 1, the majority of basketball players picked in this week’s NBA Draft apparently were not highly coveted. Cheap advice – Keep your bags packed! The NCAA recommends college athletes be allowed to play for five seasons over five years?!! A: Newsworthy College athletes have long been given four years of athletic eligibility to participate in varsity athletics.  A flawed concept called taking a “red shirt” was used to allow underutilized players (generally freshmen) to participate in team practices for an extra year prior to playing in games. This concept kept getting pushed to the limits.  Players injured before the midway point in a season started requesting the NCAA to grant them an extra year of eligibility. This week, the NCAA’s Division 1 Cabinet issued a proposed rule change to make this issue much simpler (we hope).  The athlete will be allowed five years to participate in college athletics from the earlier of the date of full-time enrollment or the academic year following his/her 19th birthday. This “Five in Five” concept is expected to begin this fall. Yes, it means that a healthy athlete could (potentially) play five consecutive years of major college athletics. The NCAA has finally acted on a relevant issue for college athletics.  Unsurprisingly, there has already been some legal pushback filed by players. Stay tuned to see if this change to college athletics is actually implemented this fall. The PGA Tour announced some radical changes to its structure beginning in 2028 A: Newsworthy LIV Golf has been criticized by many, but the upstart league has forced the stodgy PGA Tour to make some radical changes. The PGA Tour announced on Tuesday that there will be two “tracks” for top pro golfers beginning in the year 2028. A new “Championship” division will feature up to 24 tournament events from February through August. This grouping will feature the top 100 ranked golfers playing 72 holes with a 36-hole cut (as before).  The prize money in these events will total at least $20 million. There will also be a new “Challenger” level that will play at least 20 events from February through August. These will have larger fields (144 golfers) and 36-hole cuts, but the tournament prize money will be about $4 million per event. Players who win two tournaments in one season at the “Challenger” level will immediately be promoted up to the Championship division. Golfers in the Championship upper division who finish their season ranked #91-100 will be demoted to the Challenger level for the following year. More details are expected to be announced in the coming months. This announcement quietly confirms that the PGA Tour continues to struggle attracting its top golfers to appear in some of its mid-level tournaments.  Those events usually offer a lower payout than average, too. In case you were wondering, LIV Golf (which might fold at any time) is paying its golfers a total tournament purse of $30 million in 2026.  However, LIV Golf is only playing 14 tournaments worldwide this year. Caitlin Clark’s latest WNBA assailant gets suspended for one game A: Snooze worthy Many fans of the Women’s NBA (WNBA) want to watch the talented scoring outside shooting machine named Caitlin Clark produce plenty of points like the NBA’s Steph Curry. The WNBA’s television ratings and attendance rise whenever third-year shooting guard Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever is featured on national TV or playing in an opponent’s arena. Unfortunately, many players in the WNBA just don’t like Clark.  Some have made her life exceedingly difficult by playing excessively physical defense against the 6′ shooting guard. The number of dirty plays involving Caitlin Clark on the receiving end are becoming far too commonplace in the WNBA.  Worse yet, the three referees on the court are letting a lot of the rough play go without even blowing their whistles. Can you imagine if talented NBA offensive stars such as Pistol Pete Maravich or Larry Bird were being routinely mugged and injured by opposing players?  The men’s pro basketball league understood the value which those stars brought to their league. On the other hand, the WNBA doesn’t seem to have a clue. Another scary moment involving Caitlin Clark (fifth in the WNBA in scoring at 21 points/game) occurred Wednesday night as the Indiana Fever played the Phoenix Mercury. Clark was tripped while handling the basketball. As she laid on the floor, Phoenix forward Alyssa Thomas (who is listed at 6’2” and weighs 202 pounds according to the WNBA website) “recklessly made contact with her fist to the throat area of Caitlin Clark.” That quote was issued by the league AFTER the game when this play was reviewed. For her part, Alyssa Thomas was assessed a Level 2 Flagrant foul and then received a one game suspension. Question:  How could three highly trained WNBA referees miss all of that mayhem on the floor?  What were they looking at?  Or, perhaps, were they instructed before the game to overlook it? None of the officials blew a whistle on the play despite the rather obvious unnecessary roughness imparted by Caitlin Clark’s opponents. Whether the WNBA players like Caitlin Clark or not, they better hope that she doesn’t vanish to play go basketball in Europe next season. If that she should leave, fan interest in the WNBA may quickly revert back to the mediocre levels it had before Clark entered the league just three years ago.  *Ol’ SwampSwami and his long-suffering sports wife will be out next week babysitting a couple of our energetic grandsons in N. Louisiana.  We’ll visit again after the July 4th holiday.    Happy 250th birthday, America!  The post Newsworthy or “Snooze worthy”? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

The NBA has clearly stated a desire to expand its footprint in Europe. Jason claims that the preferential treatment afforded to French San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama directly correlates with that of the European audience after he avoided a flagrant foul in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Furthermore, Jason is perplexed by Wemby's apparent no-show for the national anthem before Game 3. Wemby has been designated a “made man” by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. Steve Kim adds his take on Wemby, in addition to Stephen A. Smith challenging President Donald Trump during a "First Take" diatribe on ESPN, and Pat McAfee is apparently in talks with ESPN for an extension, with the floor being $60 million per year. Maurice Drake Jr. and Charles Baker join Jason for the latest edition of As the WNBA Turns, with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever being the focal point. ​​Today's Sponsors: PreBorn PreBorn has helped rescue more than 400,000 babies, and every single day, they continue that work by offering mothers something powerful and life-changing: an ultrasound.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Republicans Buy Sneakers Too Clay Travis and Buck Sexton talk about President Donald Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden during a New York Knicks game, which Clay and Buck frame as a culturally significant moment in the intersection of sports, politics, and media narratives. They analyze reactions from fans, commentary from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, and broader questions about the NBA’s political activism, arguing that the league may be shifting away from its previously “woke” positioning. The discussion expands into a broader critique of politics in sports, media bias, and public reactions to Trump as a New York figure. Could Steve Hilton Win? Steve Hilton joins the show to provide a detailed update on the California gubernatorial primary, explaining that he is highly confident of securing a top-two finish and advancing to the general election, even as official results remain delayed due to prolonged vote counting across the state. A major focus is the extended timeline for ballot processing in California, with Hilton criticizing the system as inefficient and mismanaged, particularly highlighting rules that allow ballots without clear postmarks to be accepted if they include handwritten dates. The conversation frames these practices as contributing to widespread skepticism around election transparency and trust in the vote-counting process. The discussion then shifts to a key voter ID ballot initiative in California, which Hilton says has strong public support and could be a near-term solution to many of the concerns being raised. The proposal would require government-issued identification for voting, whether in person or by mail, reducing reliance on signature verification processes that currently slow down vote counting. Clay and Buck strongly endorse voter ID laws, arguing they are consistent with requirements for other constitutional rights and would improve election confidence. They also debate the role of absentee and mail-in voting more broadly, suggesting that widespread early in-person voting could replace much of the current mail-based system. Election Integrity Clay and Buck explore campaign spending dynamics, particularly the failure of billionaire Tom Steyer to secure a top-two finish in California despite massive financial investment. This leads to a broader point about the limits of political advertising, with the hosts arguing that even heavy spending cannot overcome weak voter appeal. They also revisit recent national campaigns, suggesting that increased public exposure can sometimes hurt candidates rather than help them. Sen. Tommy Tuberville Clay and Buck react to breaking reports involving Iran and U.S. military tensions, after news surfaces that an American Apache helicopter may have been shot down. The hosts emphasize that President Donald Trump has indicated a potential U.S. response, pending investigation into whether the incident was hostile action, mechanical failure, or friendly fire. Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show to weigh in on the escalating situation, warning that if Iran was responsible, consequences are likely. This segment highlights broader U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions and national security concerns, underscoring the potential for rapid escalation in the Middle East. The conversation with Senator Tuberville shifts into 2026 midterm election outlook and Senate control, where he predicts Republicans are likely to maintain their majority but expresses frustration with stalled legislative priorities. A major focus is the SAVE America Act and election security legislation, with Tuberville criticizing fellow Republicans who opposed advancing the bill. He emphasizes concerns about voter fraud, election integrity, and inconsistent vote-counting standards across states, arguing that federal action is necessary to ensure confidence in U.S. elections. The discussion also dives into the ongoing debate about the Senate filibuster, with Tuberville and the hosts suggesting Democrats would eliminate it if they regain power, raising stakes for current legislative battles. They also touch on college sports controversies and NIL-era challenges, as Tuberville reacts to a controversial court ruling allowing a college quarterback accused of gambling violations to continue playing. He argues that the decision reflects a broader erosion of accountability in college athletics, pointing to issues like sports betting, transfer rules, and commercialization of college sports as threats to the integrity of the system.

For one 2025 national champion LSU baseball team, last weekend’s games ended any remote chances that they will qualify for the upcoming playoffs with a chance to repeat. For the other 2025 national champion LSU baseball team located in the northwest corner of Louisiana, their chance for a title repeat is very much alive and well today. This weekend also featured the quiet return of one of the PGA Tour’s most popular golfers as he won for the first time in eight years.  Plus, the NBA’s Indiana Pacers attempt to tank and receive a top draft pick backfired in a big way on Sunday. The LSU Tigers baseball team went 0-3 at Georgia – won’t defend title Omaha will not be the final destination for this year’s 2026 LSU baseball team in June.  The 2025 national champions just dropped three straight games in Athens, Georgia over the weekend. The Georgia Bulldogs downed the Tigers 11-8, 13-8, and (yikes) 12-1 after the infamous 10-run rule was invoked in Sunday’s finale.  That weekend sweep also gave the Dawgs the 2026 SEC regular season title. UGA is now 41-11 overall and a very impressive 21-6 in the SEC. LSU’s depleted pitching staff (giving up 5 ½ runs every nine innings) served up an assortment of tasty treats to Georgia’s eager batters all weekend.  The Tigers fell to 29-24 overall and a woeful 9-18 in the SEC. Those 18 SEC losses are the most ever for an LSU baseball team.  It’s hard to believe Coach Jay Johnson’s baseball team has fallen this far after winning the national championship in 2025. LSU’s regular season mercifully ends at home this weekend in Baton Rouge as the Florida Gators (34-18 and 15-12 in the SEC) visit Alex Box Stadium.  LSU remains in 14th place in the 16-team SEC.  Only South Carolina (7-20 in the league) and Missouri (6-21) have worse records. In Shreveport, the defending NAIA baseball champion LSU-S Pilots are peaking at the right time Last year’s LSU-Shreveport baseball team set an all-time college baseball record by becoming the first team to win every single game they played.  The 59-0 Perfect Pilots of 2025 have lost 12 times during 2026.  However, they also have 41 wins, too. LSU-S will host four other top regional teams in the NAIA opening round playoff series beginning today (Monday, May 11) at Pilot Field in Shreveport.  LSU-S is a nifty 31-4 at home this year.  The odds favor the Pilots advancing into the second round of the NAIA playoffs next week. Unlike their big brothers down in Baton Rouge, LSU-Shreveport’s pitching has been exceptional again in 2026.  The Pilots’ team earned run average is just 3.35.  Pitching ace Brock Lucas has posted a 10-2 record and allowed just 1.83 runs per nine innings. Best of luck to the LSU-S Pilots as they try to bring home a second consecutive national baseball title to Shreveport!  *Update – LSU-Shreveport won two games but also lost twice to Mid-America Christian University (Oklahoma City).  Mid-America Christian (42-13) won the Shreveport Regional and advanced to play in the NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho on Friday, May 22.  They will face 47-9 Doane University of Crete, Nebraska.  Louisiana Softball – ULM women robbed of an NCAA playoff spot while LSU received the #16 overall seed Fans of the ULM Warhawks sports teams haven’t had a lot to crow about in recent years.  The women’s softball team, though, has been a recent exception. The Warhawks won their first-ever Sun Belt regular season softball title recently after posting a 19-5 league record. Last weekend’s Sun Belt Conference tournament #1 seed ULM won its opening game against UL-Lafayette.  The Warhawks then dropped a 3-1 decision in the semifinal round to #5 seed and eventual tournament winner South Alabama.  UL-Monroe finished their season with a 38-20 record. Sunday night’s NCAA 64-team women’s softball selection show placed Sun Belt tournament champion South Alabama into the field as expected.  However, the Sun Belt also received two additional spots in the NCAA tournament as well. Both Marshall University (regular season #2 in the conference) and Texas State (regular season #3) received an NCAA invitation.  Marshall finished with a 37-17 record.  Texas State went 38-20. Why didn’t the Sun Belt’s regular season champion ULM receive one of those two NCAA tournament spots? The Warhawks were the hottest team in the conference over the last two months having won 19 of their final 22 games. Yes, all three at-large Sun Belt teams (ULM, Marshall, and Texas State) had very similar records.  Shame on the NCAA for leaving ULM’s regular season champions out of this year’s post-season tournament. In Baton Rouge, the LSU Tigers somehow wrangled the #16 overall seed and will host a four-team regional event this weekend at Tiger Park.  Coach Beth Torino’s team is 37-17 overall and has won nine of its last 12 games.  LSU just qualified for the softball postseason tournament for an incredible 20 years in a row. The Women’s College World Series will be held at Devon Park in Oklahoma City from May 28 through June 4. Golf – 45-year old Brandt Snedeker won for the first time in nearly eight years! The sport of golf can be played well into your senior years.  However, it is rare to see very many winners on the men’s or women’s professional golf tours after they reach their mid-40’s. Hall-of-Famer Sam Snead still holds the men’s professional record after winning the Greater Greensboro Open in 1965 at the age of 52. Two-time Ryder Cup golfer Brandt Snedeker had already been selected to become the captain of this fall’s President Cup team.  The honor generally goes to a popular PGA professional golfer whose playing career has already peaked.  Being the team captain usually means spending a lot of time handling team selections, tournament details, the media, and such.   Most team captains don’t have a lot of time for their own golf game. The 45-year old Brandt Snedeker had lost his PGA Tour playing card a few years ago after several seasons filled with injuries and poor results on the golf course.  Snedeker was having to rely on sponsor exemptions in order to be added into several events over the past few seasons. The likable Brandt Snedeker from Tennessee wanted to prove to himself and his family that his golf game was still good enough to win on tour again. His 18-under par total at Sunday’s Myrtle Beach Classic PGA Tour stop was good enough to secure a one-stroke victory over a 36-year old winless golfer.  Mark “Hard Luck” Hubbard bogeyed the 18th hole to finish in second place. With his win, Brandt Snedeker earned a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a place in this weekend’s PGA Championship outside of Philadelphia. Nicely done and welcome back, Sneds! Indiana Pacers flunked the NBA Draft ping-pong ball lottery on Sunday Do you remember which team the Oklahoma City Thunder beat in the NBA Finals less than a year ago? Me, either. Last year’s #4 East seed Indiana Pacers surprised many with a late-season charge to win the NBA’s Eastern Conference title in 2025.  Indiana then fought gamely in the NBA Finals against #1 overall seed Oklahoma City before losing in Game #7 at OKC. This year’s Indiana Pacers suffered a series of injuries during the first half of the NBA season.  The team went on to establish franchise records for the longest losing streaks in Pacers’ history during the second half of the season. You could say that the Indiana Pacers were “tanking” on purpose in hopes to receive one of the top NBA draft picks in June.  The league “rewards” bad teams by giving them the highest odds of receiving a top draft pick. Indiana lost with vigor.  This team lost and lost and lost. The Pacers dropped 13 games in a row from mid-December into January. They topped their own futility mark with a 16-game losing streak from February into March. In what would turn out to be a colossal mistake, the Pacers also made a multi-player trade with the Los Angeles Clippers in February during a losing streak. As a part of the deal, Indiana’s #1 draft pick for next season would be sent to the Clippers only if Indiana should be assigned a draft selection worse than #4 overall. Not to worry, right? Indiana finished with a franchise worst 19-63 record.  It firmly placed the Indiana Pacers as one of the top three worst teams in the NBA this year. The NBA’s draft lottery rules assign an equal 14% chance of getting the top draft pick to the three biggest losers.  This season, those teams were the Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, and Brooklyn Nets. The next best odds (11 ½ %) were assigned to the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings. Memphis (at 9%) was sixth. The other eight non-playoff teams received a descending percentage chance with #14 Charlotte having a minuscule ½% chance of receiving the #1 draft pick in June. What could possibly go wrong for Indiana? Plenty. After the Washington Wizards’ ping-pong ball drawing gave them the #1 overall draft pick in June, Indiana was hoping to grab that #2 spot. Alas, the second-worst team in the NBA this year watched in horror as their ping-pong ball drawing fortunes went horribly wrong.  The Pacers didn’t hear their name called until the #5 draft position. As a result, Sunday’s ping-pong ball fiasco also handed Indiana’s 2026 first round pick over to the Los Angeles Clippers as part of this February’s trade. Indiana won’t receive a first round selection in this June’s NBA draft.  Instead, the Pacers will receive Los Angeles’ first round pick in the year 2031. Indiana Pacers’ President of Team Operations Kevin Pritchard later apologized to the team’s basketball fans.  He said, “I’m really sorry to all our fans. I own taking this risk.” He sure does! This also spotlights the NBA’s convoluted system of incentivizing lousy basketball teams to “out-lose” each other during the second half of the season. The worst teams (generally) receive one of the top three or four draft picks. In this case, the Indiana Pacers (historically a very competitive franchise) got burned trying to tank during the second half of the NBA season. The team intentionally (but would never admit) dropped a record number of games this season convinced that they would be a statistical shoo-in to receive a top three draft choice in June. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently commented that the league’s draft lottery system is slated to receive an overhaul in 2027 to prevent teams from “tanking”. He said, “You should assume for next season that your only incentive is to win games.” Right, Commish! I’m not from Missouri, but you’ll need to show me before I believe that the NBA has an effective plan to end the league’s tanking issues!

Jason argues that both the new proposal for the NBA's anti-tanking rules and the expansion of the NCAA Tournament will lead to the elimination of consequences. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver fails to recognize that the NBA Draft Lottery does not impose genuine consequences on teams. Jason suggests implementing penalties for teams that do not make the playoffs, such as fining the team owner, team president, general manager, head coach, and assistant coaches. Steve Kim joins the discussion to talk about the decline of the NBA and the implications of the NCAA Tournament changes. They also cover several other topics, including whether LeBron James and the Lakers will eliminate the Rockets tonight, Shaq's embrace of Victor Wembanyama, and reports that Mike Tomlin could replace Mike Vrabel in New England. Finally, Danny Kanell joins the show to discuss Brendan Sorsby's gambling controversy, the NCAA's tournament expansion, and reactions to the NFL Draft. ​​Today's Sponsors: Animal Farm Animal Farm is a bold animated adaptation of George Orwell's classic tale.
