In Case You Missed It

This week’s sports rundown


1.     The J. Rod show has arrived, but Juan Soto gets to celebrate with Bad Bunny in the end.

2.     Ronald Acuna was almost set on fire

3.     The MLB tried to stage a Pujols Derby win, but The Machine ran out of juice

4.     There’s a Derek Jeter doc. But Who gives a s***?

5.     Sean Payton says he’s probably coming back to coaching but doesn’t know the destination. So, he’s dead to me, but we’ll take those picks delivered straight to Airline Dr. Overnight delivery, please and thank you.

6.     The MLB All Star game happened. The AL won again. So, there’s that.

7.     They did unveil a new “Ump Cam” and then the ump proceeded to take a foul ball to the face. Timing… am I right? 

8.     Make Mic’d up pitchers permanent.

9.     The King Fish mascot that got decapitated by AJ Dillion is actually a tiny human that is 5’9 and runs cross country

10.  Mike Evans is a 99 in Madden 23. My only take away from that is that I apparently slept through an entire season. 

11.  Madden gave Kamara a 90 rating, and apparently Joe Mixon is better. More proof I entered a year long slumber at some point 

12.  James Harden is worth 34mil a year huh? Agree to disagree Philly 

13.  Kyler Murray got a BAG!! He is going to make more in a year than the A’s (team who drafted him in baseball) are paying their entire roster. 

14.  Michael Thomas on PUP to start camp. 550 days and counting

15.  Davenport also on PUP. Rinse and repeat 

16.  The Rams Super Bowl Rings… Holy S***

17.  Alternate helmets…. ALTERNATE HELMETS EVERYWHERE 

18.  Vince McMahon has officially retired. That’s a dirty old man 

19.  Inside the park grand slam?! WHAT????

20.  28-5 in a baseball game?! What happened to the mercy rule?? The Red Sox are incompetent 

21.  The rangers record lives!!!

22.  Alex Manoah talked trash to a batter after he struck him out and baseball people are furious with him.  How dare he have a personality in this sport? The nerve 


What to look out for next week


            Unfortunately, we’re in the dead period on the sport’s calendar.  It’s pretty much baseball and nothing else.  However, in baseball, keep an eye on the trade market with the trade deadline right around the corner.  We should start to see the rumor mill heat up.  Lastly, football is finally back.  Kinda.  Saints training camp starts Tuesday! Who Dat?


See y’all next week!

Tulane Basketball Commitment: Carson Schwieger

By Patrick Harkness • May 6, 2026
Tulane Green Wave Commit Queens U Transfer Carson Schwieger @CarsonSchwieger 6-9/222 Schwieger is a specialized perimeter shooter and spot-up threat. His calling card is elite three-point shooting on high volume, he ranked among the nation’s top volume 3PT makers while hitting at a 40.9% clip (34th nationally). Most of his shots are catch-and-shoot threes (both open and contested); he has taken virtually no mid-range jumpers all season. He is effective as a stretch 4 in pick-and-pop actions (7/20 on the season) and forces defenses to close out hard, creating driving lanes for teammates. Shooting Mechanics: Quick, repeatable release; comfortable on the move or stationary; good on both contested and uncontested attempts. Finishing/Inside Play: Efficient but low-volume around the rim (56–57% on 2PT attempts, mostly at the rim or in limited post-ups). Not a primary creator or driver, low usage, minimal self-creation, and few assists/turnovers indicate a low-maintenance offensive role. Rebounding: Solid but not dominant (3.1 RPG in 24.5 MPG). Uses his frame and length well on the glass, especially on the defensive end, but is not an elite crash-and-grab guy. Positional rebounding is fine for a stretch 4. Intangibles/Motor/IQ: High feel for the game, low turnover rate, smart off-ball cutter, and team-first player. Physical and competitive; no major red flags in effort or attitude from available reports. Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X #RollWave

Tulane Basketball Commitment: Joah Chapelle

By Patrick Harkness • May 6, 2026
Tulane Green Wave Commit Versatile Forward Joah Chappelle 6’8” / 200 lbs Dutchtown HS (5A GA State POY) / Pearl River CC / Georgia State (Hampton/Atlanta, GA) Physical Profile: Long, athletic 6’8” forward with excellent length, mobility, and a high-motor frame. Has grown into his body and added strength since high school, giving him the versatility to play multiple positions on both ends. Elite wingspan and quickness allow him to guard 1-through-5 effectively while crashing the glass and protecting the rim. Explosive in transition and finishes with authority around the basket. Scoring Versatility (Primary Strength): Efficient inside scorer with a rapidly expanding perimeter game. At Pearl River CC, he averaged 16.3 PPG on 53.1% shooting with six double-doubles and multiple 20+ point games (season-high 27). Capable of scoring in the post, attacking off the dribble, and knocking down open threes (improved 37.8% from deep at Georgia State). High-level athlete who finishes through contact and excels in the open floor, lefty with soft touch and developing face-up skills. Playmaking & Basketball IQ: Surprisingly skilled passer for a forward, dished out 3.1 APG at the JUCO level with vision that creates for teammates. High IQ player who reads defenses, makes smart decisions in transition, and elevates those around him. Understands how to use his size and length to manipulate help defense. Defense & Rebounding (Elite Trait): High-motor, blue-collar defender who takes pride in shutting down opponents. Extremely versatile, can guard guards, wings, and bigs with his length and lateral quickness. At Georgia State he led the team in blocks (0.9 BPG) and offensive rebounds while posting strong rebounding numbers (5.3 RPG overall). Instinctive shot-blocker and lob threat on the defensive glass. Never takes a play off. Intangibles & Leadership: Relentless competitor with a championship mentality. Named 5A State Player of the Year at Dutchtown and MACCC Freshman of the Year at Pearl River, proven winner who steps up in big moments. High-character kid with a strong work ethic and family-driven background. Coaches rave about his versatility, toughness, and ability to impact winning on both ends. Overall Traits & Projection: Dynamic, multi-positional forward with elite defensive tools, rebounding prowess, and growing offensive versatility. Tulane lands a high-upside transfer who can immediately anchor the frontcourt with his length, motor, and two-way impact. Projects as a difference-maker in the AAC, a modern forward who can guard, rebound, run the floor, and develop into a primary scoring option. His senior year at Dutchtown and dominant JUCO campaign showed massive growth, and he’s only scratching the surface of his potential. Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X #RollWave
