Cooper Flagg’s mother, Kelly, does not want her son to spend more than $180K on his first car. Even though he signed a $62.7 million rookie contract, she hopes he does not spend his money on things that do not matter.
More and more information is coming in regarding the Kawhi Leonard-Clippers saga. Information revealed that Leonard’s uncle had asked the Lakers and Raptors for a private jet, ownership in the teams, and additional endorsement money.
Stephen Curry is usually the quiet and understated type, but did not hold back when he had to defend his wife when Killer Mike and a TikToker were maligning her character. The 4-time champion asked the rapper to stay away from such comments.
Molly Qerim was initially reported to leave First Take at the end of 2025. Later at night, she dropped a statement revealing that she was walking away from the show and ESPN immediately. That leaves no one to moderate Stephen A. Smith.
🏀 The Fever's Upset, The Aces' Scare & Angel's Shoe Drop
The 1st round of the playoffs entered their second games, and it was do-or-die for the Indiana Fever. Caitlin Clark had asked their fans to be their 12th voice, and they responded as Tyrese Haliburton led the home fans to push the players to victory.
They blew the brakes off the Atlanta Dream, pushing the series to a winner-takes-all Game 3. Back in Georgia, the shorthanded Fever kept pace with the Dream, pushing them with a late surge in the 4th quarter.
That effort saw them win the game and send the Fever into the semifinals for the 1st time in 10 years. As Clark and her teammates walked off, they were met with boos, to which they responded by throwing love signs.

Next, they will take on A’ja Wilson and her Las Vegas Aces, who themselves needed a last-second push to snatch victory from the Seattle Storm. When Wilson was informed that she would face the Fever, she looked surprised, considering they expected the 3rd seed Dream to be their opponents.
Angel Reese launched her first signature shoe, the Reebok AR1, with a series of promotional videos. The company is expecting the shoe to do well, as it was designed to be as comfortable as Air Jordans so that people can wear it casually.
🏈 Brady's Booth Access, The Tush Push & A Paternity Drama
President Donald Trump lashed out at the NFL’s kickoff rules, asking the league to do away with the new style, which he believes does not provide the same level of excitement as before. He, however, did not stand in the way of the Commanders’ approval to move back to DC in 2030.
Tom Brady caused a furor after he was captured sitting alongside the Raiders’ coaches in their booth. Despite the opposition from other networks and fans, the NFL cleared him of any wrongdoing. After that, head coaches clarified that Brady’s presence is not a concern.
Fans and members of the media have been calling for the Tush Push to be banned after Chris Jones revealed the Eagles’ O-Line committed false starts. After causing a frenzy, the NFL gave its officials tapes to help them call those penalties diligently.

Baker Mayfield took matters into his own hands in their final drive against the Houston Texans, slithering through onrushing defenders and scrambling towards a crucial 1st down. That helped his Bucs win in the dying seconds.
The Vikings might not have such situations over the next 4 weeks after it was decided that Carson Wentz would start. JJ McCarthy’s ankle sprain and running back Aaron Jones’ hamstring injuries have cast a cloud over their chances.
Josh Allen continues to prove he is the best QB in the league, after leading his Bills to another impressive win. On the other hand, the Dolphins lost again, despite a decent show in the first half.
Cardi B announced that she was pregnant with Stefon Diggs’ child. A while later, it was revealed that the Patriots receiver is battling a paternity suit with another woman, who claims to have given birth to his daughter.
🏁 Daytona Drama, Playoff Problem & The Bowman Debate
The Daytona 500 has long been called the Super Bowl of racing, but not anymore. Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., a two-time winner of the race, believes the crown jewel has "fallen from the perch." He says that drivers no longer view it as the most important event of the year, a disappointing change from a time when racers would trade a championship for a 500 win.
Another top driver is ecDhoing that frustration with the sport's direction. Cup champion Brad Keselowski has a bold message for NASCAR: get rid of the playoffs. In a recent interview, he called the format "very unhealthy," arguing that it makes 10 races more important than the other 20+ on the schedule.
The intense playoff pressure has claimed its first victim. Hendrick Motorsports racer Alex Bowman was eliminated in the first round, leading to fresh calls for his replacement. The driver of the No. 48 car has consistently lagged behind his teammates Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, and William Byron this season.
But former driver Kyle Petty came to Bowman's defense, arguing that one car will always fall behind at a top team like Hendrick. Petty believes the criticism is pointless, considering Bowman has the trust of his sponsors and, most importantly, the trust of team owner Rick Hendrick.
