With the 2022 NBA postseason Conference Finals right around the corner, we are getting closer to knowing who will become champions this season.

Arian Foster has been retired from the NFL for nearly six years, but he still has quite the collection of memories from his career. Although Vogel led the Lakers to a championship in 2020, he only lasted two more seasons with the franchise, having been dismissed last month following a disappointing showing in 2021-22. He has a 431-389 (.526) overall regular-season record with those three teams and has gone 49-39 (.557) in the postseason. On Thursday, Bleacher Report NBA writer Jake Fischer reported the news that after dismissing head coach James Borrego in April, the franchise has finished up its first round of interviews for the gig. The Rays are in need of a rebound after losing three of their last four games in the leadup to this series. City currently hold their Premier League fate in their hands and will win the title with victories over West Ham United and Aston Villa to finish the season regardless of what Liverpool do in their remaining fixtures. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne reported on Friday that Nike is unlikely to extend Irving to a similar deal due to “uncertainties surrounding his NBA future.” Irving, who has had his shoe deal with Nike since 2014, has a new edition of his sneaker coming out in the fall. Liverpool defeated Chelsea on penalties to win the Carabao Cup final back in late February and have thus far remained in contention to hoist the other three trophies available to them. In Week 3, the Chiefs will travel to play at the Indianapolis Colts (9-8). They'll then remain on the road to take on Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (13-4) in Week 4. The Blue Jays had the best record in the AL briefly but went from 10-5 to 17-15 in just a couple of weeks. On that note, NBA analyst Jay Williams has suggested a hypothetical 3-team trade idea that would send LaVine to the Lakers. The Knicks are unhappy with Julius Randle so they are searching for teams that can trade for him.
