The Spring Training Content Is Giving

Plus, A Heart-Warming Story On The Slopes

…And we can’t wait to see it. Based on the very subtle hints (the number 44 and “shift” being in the caption), we’ve got a feeling it involves a certain F1 driver. 

The sh*t talking in Unrivaled is… unrivaled. The Rose and Lunar Owls had words to say to each other this weekend. No complaints here. We say keep it coming. 

It wasn’t enough for A-Rod to be famous, rich, and on TV. He also had to accomplish what every random hoops fan convinces themselves they could do if given the chance: sink a half-court shot in front of a full arena of fans

Remember when Jokic was drafted during a Taco Bell commercial? He’s still sour over it—he’s never eaten at the fast-food chain because of it. His stomach probably thanks him. But we have to wonder, what the heck does he eat at 2 am after a night out?

An entire arena wished Johnny Gaudreau Jr. happy birthday. Johnny Gaudreau Sr. and his brother Matthew tragically passed in a car accident in August 2024. This past weekend, Blue Jackets and Blackhawks fans united to sing to the 1-year-old on his birthday.

A case for why Jerami Grant has the most underrated tunnel fits. 

MLB Spring Training is just getting started, but the hijinks are in full swing. Every year, the league splits in two and 15 teams head to Phoenix for the Cactus League while the other 15 retire to Florida for the Grapefruit League.

Let’s see how the boys in Arizona are doing so far.

The Guardians are nerding out. Pro-tip, an Expelliarmus spell would probably help in-game. 

In between games, the Royals are trying to answer life’s most burning questions…

While the Dodgers are putting on their own production of Dude, Where’s My Car

Shohei with another car prank on Doc. 😂 #dodgers #sports #losangeles #prank #funny

And the Angels are doing some serious team bonding. 

Meanwhile, in Florida…

Here’s a 360 view of what the Cardinals are up to:

Pitcher fingers are turning to Twitter fingers for The Tigers.

Held admin tryouts this morning #admin #mlb #tigers

The Red Sox are using unconventional methods to practice sliding. 

The Yankees are growing out their beards, and the Nationals are showing solidarity.

Good stuff, everyone. See you next time. Love you

If you’re interested in a feel-good story, you’ve come to the right place. In November of 2024, Mikaela Shiffrin collided with a gate during her giant slalom event at a World Cup race in Vermont. 

The crash caused a puncture in her abdomen and severe muscle trauma. It even became infected and required surgery to treat. 

Fast forward to Sunday in Sestriere, Italy, and the vibe was drastically different. Here, after months spent recovering, Mikaela celebrated her 100th World Cup win. An emotional Shiffrin shouted out her teammates, competitors, and coaches after the win (we lost it at that last “thank you,”). 

And, in even more good news: in honor of her 100th, she’s partnering with Share Winter Foundation to raise $100,000 to help young skiers and snowboarders. 

Adidas put it quite nicely: Mikaela doesn’t just win, she rewrites the rules.

Got some extra cash? Must be nice. Spend it on this indoor football team. It’s very affordable. Kinda.
