Minnesota Teams

Quiet couple of days on the Minnesota front. The Twins are plugging along in the middle of the AL Central pack — no blockbuster highlights from the last day or two. The Timberwolves and Wild are both done for the season, and the Vikings are in that long NFL offseason stretch where the biggest news is usually someone changing their haircut. We'll keep you posted if anything breaks locally.

NFL

Aaron Rodgers has a wild bucket list item: The Jets quarterback could become only the second QB in NFL history to beat all 32 teams — but the only path is if his new Pittsburgh Steelers make the Super Bowl and face his old team, the Green Bay Packers. That's a long shot, but it would be an incredible finale if it happened.

Chargers lock up Derwin James: The Los Angeles Chargers signed safety Derwin James to a four-year extension, making him the NFL's highest-paid safety for the second time in his career. He's one of the best defensive players in the league, and L.A. made sure he's not going anywhere.

Burglary ring busted: Argentine police arrested suspects tied to a transnational gang responsible for burglaries at the homes of NBA and NFL players. Apparently, being a famous athlete makes you a target when you're on the road.

Trevor Lawrence got a haircut: The Jaguars QB's signature flowing blonde hair is gone — revealed in the team's schedule release video. His family reportedly said, "Oh, thank God." Offseason content at its finest.

NBA

The Knicks are rolling: New York swept the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals and are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Jalen Brunson has been sensational — if the Knicks win it all, he might go down as the greatest Knick ever. Yes, that's a real conversation happening.

What about the West? The San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder are in a tighter battle. Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals is Tuesday, with the winner advancing to face the Knicks.

Coach of the Year: Boston's Joe Mazzulla won NBA Coach of the Year after leading the Celtics to 56 wins and the East's No. 2 seed — impressive, considering Jayson Tatum missed most of the season.

What's next for Cleveland? The Cavaliers made the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time without LeBron James, but got swept by New York. Now the team faces a big offseason with tough decisions.

MLB

Braves legend Bob Horner passes away: Bob Horner, the Braves slugger who was the first overall pick in 1978 and famously skipped the minor leagues entirely, died at 68. He was known for his massive power and for debuting straight into the big leagues.

The rest of the baseball world is in the grind of the regular season — no major trades or shakeups to flag today.

NHL

Golden Knights sweep the Avalanche: Vegas completed a stunning four-game sweep of Colorado in the Western Conference Final. The Avalanche were the NHL's best regular-season team (Presidents' Trophy winners), making this one of the biggest playoff upsets in recent memory. Colorado coach Jared Bednar said they "ran into a buzz saw."

Hurricanes vs. Canadiens still going: In the East, Carolina is looking to take a commanding lead over Montreal in Game 4. The Canadiens' Cinderella run has been one of the best stories of the playoffs, but Carolina is the deeper, more experienced team.

College Sports

College baseball tournament is underway: The NCAA baseball tournament is in progress, with Super Regionals approaching. If you're looking for something to watch, this is where the drama starts ramping up.

College Football Playoff could expand again: SEC commissioner Greg Sankey says he's not worried that his conference doesn't agree on a potential 24-team College Football Playoff. Translation: bigger playoffs are probably coming, whether everyone agrees or not.

Proposed bill could change college sports: A bipartisan bill that would create a salary cap for college athletes and give the NCAA antitrust protection may finally be introduced. This could fundamentally reshape how college sports operate.

Other Sports

Gael Monfils says goodbye: The beloved French tennis player played his final match at the French Open on Monday. Monfils, 39, was one of the most entertaining and athletic players of his generation. Fellow players called him "a true inspiration."

Arsenal chasing history: Arsenal already won the Premier League this season, but now they're gearing up for the Champions League final. Winning both in the same season would be legendary — and the pressure is very much on.

Charles Schwab Challenge (Golf): The PGA Tour is at Colonial Country Club this week with a solid field. Ludvig Åberg and Rickie Fowler are among the names to watch.

Belmont Stakes coming up: The final leg of horse racing's Triple Crown is Saturday, June 6 at Saratoga. No Triple Crown contender this year, but still one of the biggest events on the racing calendar.
