Minnesota Teams

Quiet weekend on the Minnesota front — no Twins, Timberwolves, Wild, or Lynx games made national headlines. The Twins continue hovering around the .500 mark in a competitive AL Central. The Lynx are in the early stretch of their WNBA season. We'll keep you posted as things develop locally.

NFL

Shedeur Sanders is already breaking records — off the field. The Browns rookie quarterback earned $17.7 million in NFLPA group licensing income (that's money from jersey sales, trading cards, etc.), which tops Tom Brady's old record. Not bad for a guy who hasn't taken a regular-season snap yet. The NFL season is exactly 100 days away, if you're counting.

NBA

The San Antonio Spurs are heading to the NBA Finals after a thrilling 111-103 Game 7 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. Victor Wembanyama — the 7'4" French sensation everyone's been talking about — led the way, and people are already throwing around "GOAT trajectory" talk despite him being in just his third season.

The twist? The Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just won his second straight MVP award... and then called his season a "failure" after getting eliminated before getting a chance to defend last year's title. Rough.

The Spurs will face the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals. The Knicks haven't won a championship in 53 years, so New York is very excited right now.

MLB

The New York Yankees had an inning for the history books on Sunday, scoring 13 runs in a single inning against the Athletics — including something apparently never seen before in MLB history. That's the kind of inning where you go to get a hot dog and miss three rallies.

In a separate weird moment, the A's are asking MLB for answers after the automated ball-strike system (ABS — basically a robot umpire) called a pitch that was clearly outside the zone a strike, and replay upheld it. Technology, folks.

Fernando Tatis Jr. finally hit his first home run of the season — a massive 451-foot shot — ending what had been the longest active homer drought in baseball. The Padres star had been uncharacteristically quiet at the plate all year.

NHL

The Stanley Cup Final is set: Vegas Golden Knights vs. Carolina Hurricanes. These two teams took very different paths to get here, but they're both playing for hockey's biggest prize. Game coverage begins this week. No Minnesota Wild involvement, unfortunately.

College Sports

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is in the middle of a gambling investigation, and a judge will rule Monday on whether he can regain his NCAA eligibility. The details are still unfolding, but it's one to watch if you follow college football off-field drama.

Big 12 coaches unanimously support expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams. Oklahoma's Brent Venables was blunt about it — basically saying the current system still leaves top programs vulnerable to getting left out. More teams = more access, which means more chaos in December.

In NCAA baseball, Saint Mary's knocked out No. 1 overall seed UCLA with a walk-off single in the 10th inning. That's March Madness energy in May.

Other Sports

Paris Saint-Germain won their second straight Champions League title, beating Arsenal in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw through extra time. Arsenal's defense was nearly perfect — they just needed one moment of brilliance and couldn't find it. PSG manager Luis Enrique now joins Zinedine Zidane as the only coaches to win consecutive Champions League titles in the modern era.

Defending French Open champion Coco Gauff was upset in the third round by Anastasia Potapova. Another surprising early exit in what's been a tournament full of them.

In golf, Joaquin Niemann won LIV Golf Korea in a playoff for his first title of 2026.
