Minnesota Teams

Quiet weekend for Minnesota sports fans. The Twins are plugging along in the middle of the AL Central pack as we approach the Memorial Day checkpoint — not dominating, not disaster. The Timberwolves and Wild are both done for the season after earlier playoff exits. No major Lynx, United, or Gophers news to report today. We'll keep you posted as the MLB trade market heats up this summer.

NFL

It's the offseason, but drama finds a way. New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Trump at a rally, sparking rumors of a locker room rift. Teammate Abdul Carter quickly shut that down on social media: "Me & JD6 are good." Crisis averted... probably.

In actual football-ish news, former Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel won his MMA debut, beating social media influencer Bob Menery by first-round stoppage. Sure, why not.

NBA

The New York Knicks are the story of the playoffs. They crushed the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 on Saturday for their 10th straight playoff win and now lead the Eastern Conference Finals 3-0. One more win sends New York to its first NBA Finals since 1999. Mikal Bridges, who looked awful in the first round, has been crucial during this streak.

Out West, the San Antonio Spurs bounced back. After dropping Games 2 and 3, Victor Wembanyama set the tone early and the Spurs smothered the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 4, winning to tie the series 2-2. OKC had its worst offensive performance in years.

The 2026 All-NBA Teams were also announced Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder) and Nikola Jokic (Nuggets) were unanimous first-team selections, joined by Wembanyama, Luka Doncic, and Cade Cunningham. These selections matter because they trigger bonus money and contract clauses.

MLB

The New York Mets cut veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel, one of the most dominant closers of the last decade. At 37, his career may be over, and the Hall of Fame debate is now in full swing.

It's Memorial Day weekend, which is baseball's traditional "okay, now we have a decent sample size" checkpoint. ESPN has a full standings breakdown, but the short version: some contenders are separating themselves, several preseason favorites are underperforming, and the trade deadline is already looming.

NHL

Bad news for the Colorado Avalanche: superstar Nathan MacKinnon was hobbled after blocking a shot in the second period of Game 3 against the Vegas Golden Knights, and Colorado lost 5-3. The Avalanche now trail the Western Conference Finals 3-0. That's a deep hole even for a team this talented.

In the East, the Carolina Hurricanes evened things up with the Montreal Canadiens at 1-1. Nikolaj Ehlers scored the overtime winner in Game 2 on Saturday. The series shifts to Montreal for Game 3.

College Sports

Notre Dame is hoping CJ Carr can deliver the program's first Heisman Trophy since 1987. Early predictions have him as a frontrunner for 2026, with Ohio State and Texas also expected to compete for major hardware.

Other Sports

Soccer: It's final day in the Premier League, and the drama is at the bottom. Tottenham narrowly avoided relegation but limped to the finish line. Meanwhile, AC Milan and Juventus both missed out on Champions League qualification in a disastrous Serie A finale — bad news for US stars Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie. Hull City earned promotion to the Premier League with a 95th-minute goal in the playoff final.

Tennis: The French Open is here. Jannik Sinner is the heavy favorite to win his first Roland Garros title. Coco Gauff returns as defending champion on the women's side.
