Alex Ovechkin is now the all-time leader in goals in the NHL. Wow. Never thought we’d see the day. Ja Morant was fined by the NBA for his gun gesture celebration. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘embarrassing’ as in winless as in Atlanta as in the Braves as in disappointing. What happened to the Braves? 0-7 to start the season. Last winless team. No team to start 0-7 has EVER made the postseason! Alex Ovechkin is so close to making NHL history. He’s 3 goals away from passing Gretzky for most all time. Networks are doing everything to get the game that breaks it. 7 games to go! The NHL just signed a huge deal with Rogers in Canada. 12 years for $7.7 billion! Review: Companion. What is going on with Ja Morant? Warned on Thursday about gun gestures during games and what does he do Thursday night? We have another Tropicana Field update! Roof fixing is here. Is this just prolonging the inevitable?

Today’s word of the day is ‘certainty’ as in tariffs as in money as in salary as in players as in Jackson Merrill as in Kristian Campbell as in many others. The Padres gave Jackson Merrill a massive deal. They didn’t need to! They’ve been trying to shed payroll and now they are adding and now they have a core locked through 2033! Can they sustain that payroll? The Red Sox gave Kristian Campbell a longterm deal. 5 games into his big league career. They did the same thing last year! The Arizona Diamondbacks did something that I’m not sure why they did it. Ketel Marte got another extension. He was under contract for 2 more years and the team extended him! Review: The Princess Bride. Shohei Ohtani bobblehead night ended with a bang! Walk off homer! Let’s talk bobbles! Timberwolves sale is now complete. Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore are now the owners. Just waiting on a vote. $1.5 billion and lawyers later, we have a deal. NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ‘diligently’ as in Rays as in St. Pete as in pursue as in the Trop as in relocation? What is happening with the Tampa Bay Rays? Right now the team is playing at the Yankees Spring Training facility. It’s a one year deal. And then what? Well a major deadline just passed and the Rays let it pass. Randy Levine of the Yankees had a statement that is hard to believe. It wasn’t a normal statement. It was a Thank You letter to politicians. Jerry Jones has found himself in another situation due to no one other than Jerry Jones. Micah Parsons wants a new deal. Jerry Jones went out of his way to disrespect Parsons agent. Fun! Review: Adult Best Friends. So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about Roki Sasaki and his body language after struggling through 2 starts. Hmm. NPPOD. The St. Louis Cardinals continue to head in the wrong direction. The team underperformed, but the fans showed up. Now the team is just bad, and the fans aren’t showing up.

Today’s word of the day is ‘fool’ as in April Fool as in Jurickson Profar as in the Atlanta Braves as in disaster. That’s right we have our first PED suspension of the big league season and Profar is done for 80 games. Fool! Can the Braves rebound from this dreadful start? Rafael Devers still can’t hit. Still can’t make contact. Historically bad start. But the team did sign Garrett Crochet for a record deal! Happy! Athletics played in Sacramento. Minor league ballpark. And they got crushed. And a drone stopped the game. And the media center is a tent. Review: The Room Next Door. Browns owner Jimmy Haslam finally admitted what we all know… the Deshaun Watson trade as a disaster. Woody Johnson met the media and said the Jets moved on from Aaron Rodgers but wasn’t his choice! Also talked about buyouts for employees. Also mentioned the NFLPA being a joke. What a guy! NPPOD.

Today’s word of the day is ’damn’ as in Damn the Torpedos are is Yankees as in baseball as in new bats. What do you think about these new bats? Aaron Judge doesn’t use them. A bunch of other Yankees who homered did. Is MLB going to get rid of these? Max Scherzer is hurt. Max Scherzer told us he was going to get hurt. Rafael Devers has been historically bad to start the season. Strike outs everywhere. Can’t hit. Can’t make contact. Review: Reacher Season 3. Let’s talk about what MLB did about Opening Day. They gave customers who missed out due to some tech issues a discount on merch. NPPOD. The Final Four on the men’s side is set. It’s all top seeds. The Memphis Grizzlies fired its head coach with 10 games left. A 4/5 seed in the NBA. Why now?

Juan Soto had a chance for the Mets and didn’t get it done. The Orioles looked hot. Baseball is back! Vladdy Jr reportedly got a new deal offered to him by the Blue Jays. MLB had a problem. Streaming was down. App was down. Uh oh. The media problems never end! What about the Yankees and Comcast? More problems! Review: Last Breath. NPPOD. Adam Silver had to meet the media yesterday and he had a lot to say. All Star Game problems. Expansion.
