AEW Dynamite Sets the Stage for Double or Nothing
- Holy Shida! What a show!
- Tres de Mayo Trios Battle Royale
- Anthony Bowens scissors Penta!
- The Butcher and the Blade scissor!
- Scissor me Daddy A$$! The Acclaimed vs. House of Black would be the best match of the PPV!
- The Four Pillars Tag Match ends as expected, yet still managed to make the PPV match interesting
- Good thing, because the Double or Nothing card is not looking great
- An unlikely team of Orange Cassidy, Adam Cole “Babay,” Roderick Strong, and Bandido get a W on the Jericho Appreciation Society
- Willow! Takes the “L” against Saraya, but…
- Shida to the rescue!
- Ricky Starks and “The Juice is Loose” Robinson finally settle their feud?
- This will be a trilogy

How Did the Vikings Do in the 2023 NFL Draft?
- We didn’t have one steal, according to Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA Today
- Although getting Jordan Addison at 23rd overall is a steal
- Maybe the best wide receiver available and can start immediately as the Vikings’ No. 2 wideout, pushing KJ Osborne to the slot
- Defense be damned, the Vikings are gonna score 60 every week
- Lions drafted better than the Vikings, according to Pete Prisco of CBS
- We and most of the sports world disagree
- Mel Kiper thought Mekhi Blackmon was a reach at 102nd overall, but loved DeWayne McBride at No. 222
Twins Enter May with Healthy Division Lead Despite Health Issues
- Buxton at DH has been working, according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic and Dan Hayes
- 110-win pace when he plays; 95-win pace overall
- Michael A. Taylor might be worth extending
- Unless Austin Martin gets healthy and isn’t traded
- Royce Lewis also a centerfield option, but Twins seem interested in keeping him on the infield
- And for good reasons (i.e. two knee surgeries)
- New M&M brothers hit the injured list
- Tyler Mahle and Kenta Maeda both shut down
- Mahle for four weeks
- Maeda for ???
- Only pitch him out of the bullpen going forward
- Tyler Mahle and Kenta Maeda both shut down
Wild Hockey Culture a Bit Too Wild?
- Joel Eriksson Ek tried to play vs. Stars with broken leg that required surgery
- Should have just kept him off the playoff roster and called up someone from the Iowa Wild who could win faceoffs
- Which are stats Anthony couldn’t find anywhere
- Marco Rossi? Nic Petan?
- Should have just kept him off the playoff roster and called up someone from the Iowa Wild who could win faceoffs
- Marcus Johansson will be back for two years at $4 million
- Great signing
- Dumba cries in likely final interview with media
- Only chance of coming back is if he takes the league minimum
- Brock Faber has already proved he’s capable of being Jonas Brodin’s top-line defense partner
