ESPN Announcer Repeatedly Botches Call During NCAA Women’s Tourney—Right Up To Buzzer-Beater

The first rule of being a basketball broadcaster is to be aware of what the score of the game is, especially when the game is tied, and there is the potential for a buzzer-beater. An ESPN announcer on the call for the Ole Miss - Minnesota NCAA Women's Tournament game forgot that rule and embarrassingly dug herself into a hole with repeated asinine comments.Ole Miss scored to tie the game at 63-63 with 3.5 seconds left before the Golden Gophers called a timeout to draw up a play for a potential game-winner. This left the ESPN crew of Krista Blunk and Andrea Lloyd to set the scene, and they failed, miserably.Blunk leaned on Lloyd during the break in the action, and understandably so, given that Lloyd is a veteran broadcaster and a member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, but certainly didn't think that her counterpart didn't have any idea what the score of the game was.Lloyd began by saying that "the clock was the problem" for Ole Miss, which didn't make any sense given the score was tied up, but then things got worse. A lot worse.Lloyd went on to say that Ole Miss would go for the quick steal before having to foul, then spouted out the free-throw shooting percentage of Minnesota players on the floor that the Rebels may want to put on the line.It was an absolutely brutal watch for any fan paying any attention at all to the broadcast.To make the situation that much more uncomfortable, Minnesota's Amaya Battle went on to hit a tough jumper with one second remaining to give her team the win. Naturally, Lloyd didn't say a single word as pandemonium broke out on the floor.While Lloyd's mistakes were about as embarrassing as they come in the world of broadcasting, there is something extremely fitting for the error to come during the same broadcast that continually showed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in the crowd.

NFL's New Highest-Paid Wide Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba Living The American Dream

It's been quite a year for Jaxon Smith-Njigba: He was the NFL's offensive player of the year, his Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, and now he's the NFL's highest paid wide receiver. Only in America!Smith-Njigba on Monday agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $168.6 million, according to multiple reports.The new deal includes $120 million in guaranteed money.That means the new deal averages a whopping $42.15 million per season, which surpasses the mark set by Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's contract on an annual average basis.Chase's contract, signed in 2025, averages $40.25 million per season and contains $73.9 million in guarantees.All of this followed a regular-season in which Smith-Njigba posted 1,793 receiving yards with 119 receptions and 10 touchdowns.And why do we mention that these feats were accomplished in the Good Ole USA? Because that's the only place on Earth where they are possible. Many people would forget that and think it of no relevance.But it is very relevant to Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Because where else on the planet does an immigrant family come with absolutely nothing. Settles. Lives right. Works hard.And then their children and grandchildren enrich both themselves and the country.That's the story that has been repeated in America countless times. And that's Smith-Njigba's backstory in a nutshell.According to Smith-Njigba, his grandfather emigrated from Sierra Leone to the United States in the 1970s. He arrived with very little and had to build his life from the ground up. Smith-Njigba has emphasized that his grandfather "had to work for everything that he had," highlighting a blue-collar path defined by persistence rather than privilege.Beyond just establishing himself, his grandfather also played a broader role within the family. Smith-Njigba has said he helped bring other relatives to the United States, effectively becoming a foundation figure for the family’s presence in America. That experience shaped the values — particularly work ethic, pride in identity, resilience, and a Christian faith – passed down through generations.That faith and family history was on full display when Smith-Njigba accepted his Offensive Player of the Year award.So, he's done himself, his family and his ancestors proud.

Bryson DeChambeau Cries, Matt Fitzpatrick Calls Out Pace Before Winning Valspar, And A Golf Gambling Heater

Having an incredibly short memory is a must if you want to have any success on a golf course, and Matt Fitzpatrick showed the world he has both that skill and extreme patience with his victory at the Valspar Championship.On the other side of the globe, Bryson DeChambeau won his second consecutive LIV Golf event in South Africa. DeChambeau finding the winner's circle isn't a shock, but the shot he hit to set himself up to do so and the many tears that flowed afterward were.Speaking of winning, that's what we've been doing for not one, not two, but for three straight weeks on the PGA Tour. Sometimes you have to pat yourself on the back, especially in the golf gambling space that's difficult to find success in, so that's exactly what we're going to do.As always, reach out to Mark on X @itismarkharris with all your golf thoughts, or holler at us via email at [email protected] week after winning his first LIV event of 2026 in Singapore via playoff, DeChambeau hit copy and paste in South Africa on Sunday, but this victory carried a different weight.After making a par on the 72nd hole to punch his ticket into the playoff against Jon Rahm, DeChambeau waited until the biggest stage to hit what could very well go down as one of the greatest shots of his career when it's all said and done. Following a torrential downpour, DeChambeau was able to get free relief from a muddy hillside after tugging his tee shot left. Faced with 285 yards to the flag, an incredibly dodgy lie, and a very real chance he could lose his footing on the wet turf, he still opted to ignore the nasty greenside bunkers and go for the green in two. It turned out to be a wise decision, as he managed to hit his fairway wood to 12 feet, ultimately leading to a comfortable two-putt birdie to win with Rahm making a bit of a mess of the extra hole. It was just an utterly ridiculous golf shot to pull off, yet DeChambeau made it look easy.DeChambeau was overcome with emotion and had tears flowing from his face after getting the job done. Asked about what made this victory, his fifth LIV title, so emotional, he didn't share any details other than that he's gone through quite a bit over the past week away from the golf course."I wish I could tell you. A lot has happened in my life the past week. I'm just so grateful for my team, the Crushers, and everybody supporting me," DeChambeau explained on the broadcast. "It's so funny, golf is a fickle game and you work so hard at it your entire life, and you realize golf is just golf and there's a lot more to life than just golf." "I had some things happen during the off time this week, and you know, I was just praying all day. Praying to give me the perseverance to move forward and keep looking forward. I just gotta say I love everybody, thank you for supporting me. South Africa was unbelievable. I mean, got to be the best LIV event we've ever had."DeChambeau was also emotional during his team's formal presser after the Crusher GC earned the team title. The 32-year-old mentioned his late father at different times, while also alluding to a fan saying something that made him cry while walking to the 16th tee on Sunday.Without another LIV Golf event on the calendar before next month's Masters, DeChambeau will give his full attention to prepping for Augusta National, and certainly has to like where his game is at heading into the year's first major championship.DeChambeau has finished T-6 and T-5 in each of the last two Masters and was in Sunday's final pairing alongside eventual winner Rory McIlroy a year ago. Fitzpatrick got the job done at Innisbrook on Sunday to earn what was his first win on the PGA Tour since April 2023, and did so with an exclamation point of a birdie on the 72nd hole to win by one, but it's fair to say he didn't exactly enjoy his afternoon stroll.The Englishman played alongside Adrien Dumont de Chassart on Sunday, and after the Belgian made a triple bogey on the opening hole, Fitz's patience was put to the test for the remainder of the day.Fitzpatrick reportedly spoke with a Tour official about Dumont de Chassart's excruciatingly slow pace while playing the sixth hole. Dumont de Chassart was officially hit with a pace-of-play warning on Sunday, and by the 11th hole, commentator John Wood went as far as to describe his pace as "glacial."READ: Young Girl Pinned Under Golf Cart At PGA Tour Event, Brooks Koepka Reacts After Comforting Her During RoundWith Fitz having the reputation of being one of the most reserved guys in the sport, for him to show frustration in the middle of the round, and then take jabs during his victory presser, things had to have reached a legitimate boiling point between the pair during the round."Yeah, that was really frustrating. It was slow today. I felt like there was a lot of stop/start. Yeah, just, you know, just not ready.," Fitzpatrick told reporters after the round. "When you're not ready to play a golf shot it gets frustrating after awhile. Particularly when you playing well yourself or you're in contention or whatever it is. There's definitely, you know, it definitely knocks you out of your rhythm."There is nothing more frustrating in golf than playing with someone who is never ready to hit their shot, and having to deal with that for five hours under that pressure, with a title and millions of dollars on the line, seems unimaginable. Glacial pace aside, Fitzpatrick getting the job done one week after missing an eight-foot putt to force a playoff at The Players only adds to the impressiveness of the victory. The former U.S. Open champ finding serious form less than a month out from the Masters, a venue that should fit his eye and playing style, should have everyone at least thinking about circling his name to be a factor at Augusta National.That question is obviously tongue in cheek, but folks, we're officially on a heater when it comes to picking PGA Tour winners.In 2025, I hit just one winner all season, and it came extremely early with Nick Taylor's Sony Open victory. This year, we've already hit four winners and are on a run of three in a row.Two of the last three were winners in the without Scottie Scheffler market, but a win is a win.Akshay Bhatia getting it done at the Arnold Palmer, followed by Cameron Young's masterclass down the stretch at TPC Sawgrass, and now this past weekend at the Valspar with Fitzpatrick getting across the line is a run of form we may very well never see again. Chris Gotterup at Waste Management was our first winner of the year. Despite the fact that we're on the run of a lifetime in picking winners, I'm still pessimistic and very much aware that we're due for a cold stretch unlike anything we've ever seen before. BUT, maybe, just maybe, we keep things rolling with the Tour heading to Texas the next two weeks before the Masters is upon us. We're seeing the board as clearly as humanly possible.

NASCAR Brings Back DEI In Unbelievable Way, Unstable Driver Issues Dark Warning & Race Wife Turns To Playboy

OK. We gotcha, Tyler Reddick. We get it. We hear you, loud and clear. What sacrifice do NASCAR fans have to make to get out of this hell? I'll do anything. Just make it STOP. I don't even dislike Tyler Reddick! I like that little dude. He's fine. I like Michael Jordan. Republicans buy sneakers, too. He's good with me. But my God. Enough already. FOUR of the first SIX races? He's gonna catch Richard Petty by the time they come back to Daytona at this rate. Make it stop! What else do y'all wanna talk about today? Lord knows I can't do 1,000 words on Tyler Reddick. I just can't do it. You don't want that. I don't want that. Nobody wants that. How about Daniel Suarez absolutely stuffing Ross Chastain in a body bag all week long? These dudes HATE each other. If I were Ross, I'd have my head on an extra swivel for the next few weeks, just to be safe. I've also got DEI rearing its ugly head again in NASCAR, Busch Series driver Josh Bilicki shooting his shot with an influencer and getting absolutely humiliated, and Sam Busch checks back in after a slow start to the season. Sound good? Good! Vroom vroom. Four tires, enough fuel for anyone except Tyler Reddick (no offense), and maybe a vodka-red bull for Sam Busch … Monday Morning Pit-Stop – the ‘What The Hell Was In That Settlement?’ edition – is LIVE!I mean, no. The answer is no. But, it's probably a fair question to ask, right? I mean, think about it … who has done MORE for the drivers over the past six months than Michael Jordan?The guy went to court with NASCAR … and WON. His driver has now won four of the first six races of the season, including the Daytona 500. His other driver (fan-favorite Bubba Wallace) was second in the points up until a bad day yesterday (still might be, don't feel like checking because it doesn't matter). I remember when MJ and 23XI burst onto the scene a few years ago. You NEVER saw Michael Jordan at the track. Ever. If he was there, it was kept under lock and key. You never heard from him, never spoke to him, never really saw him. And now, the dude is basically a ceremonial pit reporter for Fox! He's on every week. It's amazing. I don't know what the hell was in those settlement papers last December. I have no idea. Some folks really believe that conspiracy. Frankly, it's sort of hard to go against it after TYLER REDDICK just won his fourth race of the season … in March. Regardless, it's probably time to start talking about MJ the same way we do Rick Hendrick, Joe Gibbs and Richard Childress. With any luck, maybe he'll even start dressing like Jack Roush. OK, Mike Joy. Let's settle down a bit. I love you, but that's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? One of the "gutsiest" performances ever? EVER?!All because he had to turn his cooling system off for the final 100 laps to preserve a bleeding battery? I mean, come on. Isn't Brad Keselowsi driving around on a broken leg right now? Obviously, those two aren't exactly the same, but you get the point. I know Mike has to pump up the broadcast, and I respect that given good ratings generally mean good things for me, given Fox signs my paychecks, but come on. He ran 100 laps without a cooling system at Darlington in March. Anyway, moving on to … more Mike Joy!Amazing. That's what I'm talking about, Mike! More of that, less nonsense about Tiny Ty's courageous drive. This is the #content NASCAR fans want. We want to make liberals SEETHE when they accidentally turn on a NASCAR race and hear us mocking DEI. I've made that joke for years now, by the way. Glad someone finally caught on. It's been staring us right in the face. Let's see Leigh Diffey give us that sort of content this summer. Don't think so! OK, let's get to a couple quickies on the way out.Speaking of DEI … Bingo. Naturally, the libs will call us a bunch of racist NASCAR rednecks for jumping all over ARCA for this nonsense. Steve Phelps certainly will. But, in reality, we do not CARE that Dystany Spurlock is black. Can she drive, or not? Natalie Decker is the hottest driver in any NASCAR garage, anywhere. She is white. She is universally HATED by fans, because she cannot drive. Enough with the nonsense. Can they drive, or not? Black, white or purple, that's all we care about. Next? The biggest – and I mean BIGGEST – story in NASCAR last week revolved around Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain. The fallout from last week's near ass-beating was a sight to behold, and it mainly centered around Suarez just continuing to publicly humiliate Ross the Boss every chance he got:Good God. I'm gonna be honest with you … I think I've done a 180 after that and I'm in Chastain's camp now. Suarez sounds like an attention whore at this point. There. I said it! (Please don't beat me up). Next? Last week was an especially woke week for NASCAR. Felt like 2020 all over again!How about Daniel Dye getting suspended because he … used a "gay voice" on a livestream?Yep. That's it. That's literally the video that got Daniel Dye suspended. I'll be honest with you, I saw this "story" circulating NASCAR Twitter earlier this week, but didn't get to watch the actual video at the time because I have two kids and the fair was in town Tuesday night. So, I waited until Wednesday morning to watch it, and I was fully prepared for Dye to just be dropping slur after slur after slur. I thought I'd have to go to church after watching it. I figured I'd immediately just go hug my kids tight. The #MOB – including NASCAR media – made it sound like Dye had basically committed murder over the livestream. And … THAT was it. Amazing. Come on. What are we doing here? Suspend him for making a painfully unfunny joke. That's fine. That, I would understand. But give me a break with the "homophobic" crap. That's silly. You know who ain't homophobic? Josh Bilicki, apparently:My God. Poor Josh! Well, not really. Don't slide into DMs in 2026 and expect it to be kept a secret, pal. Better yet, maybe don't slide into DMs at all? That'll help you avoid all of this next time!PS: Cowboy Pillow girls are quickly catching the Monster Girls in terms of NASCAR #content. Well done. What a sponsor. OK, that's it for today. Take us to Martinsville, Sam Busch!

Randy Arozarena Issues Wise Statement About Cal Raleigh's Handshake Snub Ahead Of Mariners' Opener

Randy Arozarena waited about as long as he possibly could to issue an apology to his Seattle Mariners teammate, Cal Raleigh, after the very choice words he shared about him at the World Baseball Classic, but it's better late than never.In a statement shared by the Mariners, Arozarena explained that he and Raleigh are "brothers and teammates" and that he apologized to the catcher."I understand that with Opening Day a few days away, I don’t want it to be a distraction," Arozarena said. "Cal and I have talked, and I apologized for what I said after the game. Nothing in the WBC takes away from the fact that we are brothers and teammates."The drama between Arozarena and Raleigh unfolded in the early stages of Team USA's 5-3 win over Team Mexico during the group stage matchup back on March 9.With Raleigh behind home plate for the U.S., Arozarena came to bat and reached out to offer his Seattle teammate a handshake. Raleigh opted not to reach his hand out, and when asked about the snub after the game, it was clear the moment had stuck with him throughout the game."The only thing he should be thankful for is having such great parents. He’s very well educated, thank God. I was lucky enough to see them a few days ago at the hotel. They came over to greet me, gave me a big hug, and were genuinely proud to see me again," Arozarena told reporters after the game. "After that, I want to give it to him straight Cuban style: What he has to do is f-ck off! Mexican style: Go to hell! And in English: That fake a-s "good to see you" he hit me with? He can shove it straight up his a-s. I’m out."While the entire situation could have been avoided if Raleigh had offered up a quick handshake or a simple pump, he opted not to. Arozarena reacted by telling Raleigh that he could go to hell; it was a choice he was free to make, but most would agree it crossed the line for no reason.At the end of the day, Raleigh and Arozarena are grown adults and (should) have this be water under the bridge with Opening Day fast approaching. Seattle fans certainly hope that is the case, because having two of your pillars of the franchise at each other's necks on day one isn't an ideal situation.
