Magic Johnson resigned as Lakers president so he could spend more time tampering.
We all thought when he did it, we're like, oh, he is upset because he can't tamper as president. And so he wants to retire to spend more time with his tampering.

UVA now becomes one of the coolest stories in all of sports going from the loss to UMBC last year as a one seed to a 16 seed never happened before to then get all the way back and go to the national title and win the national championship.

The best sports teams are usually the luckiest ones
To me, it seems like the best teams are always the ones that get the luckiest.

But it turns out that if you have luck that adds up a lot, you're probably just good.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group
I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.
MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing
Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.
