Sorry, nothing in cart.
Linebacker Olivier Vernon is a goner after the New York Giants agreed to ship him to Cleveland for guard Kevin Zeitler. Safety Landon Collins will be finding a new home in the next week or so, too.
If you were brought in by the Giants under the previous regime — don’t buy, rent instead. There seems to be a strong chance you won’t be around long with general manager Dave Gettleman and coach Pat Shurmur making the moves.
King Kong Bundy, a colossal professional wrestler who tangled with stars like Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker in the 1980s and ’90s, died on Monday at his home in Glassboro, N.J. He was 63.
His death was confirmed by his sister Noreen Watson.

Next year’s free-agent class just got a lot less interesting: Nolan Arenado is staying put. Arenado has agreed to an eight-year, $260 million extension with the Colorado Rockies that could keep the four-time All-Star third baseman in Colorado through the 2026 season. By the end of the contract, he’s a good bet to have surpassed Todd Helton, Larry Walker and Troy Tulowitzki as the greatest player in Rockies history.
Rockies fans should certainly be excited about the deal.
Philadelphia Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds has been traded to the Nashville Predators for forward Ryan Hartman and a 2020 conditional fourth-round draft pick.
If the Predators win a playoff round, the draft pick will become a third-rounder.
Simmonds, in his 11th NHL season, is known for his physicality, especially as a net-front presence. Simmonds has 242 goals and 229 assists over his 824 NHL games with the Los Angeles Kings and Flyers,
Well, that lived up to the hype.
No. 7 Michigan basketball and No. 10 Michigan State basketball went back and forth all throughout the first half. And then traded blows into the second.
But in the end, the Spartans simply had more: more offense, and more defense. And a dominant second-half performance led MSU to a 77-70 win over U-M.
After opening up a six-point lead at the 15:32 mark,
After taking the checkered flag at Sunday’s Daytona 500, Denny Hamlin’s first thought might have been one of satisfaction in winning the iconic race for the second time in four years, or simply relief at having avoided the late-race crashes that took out much of the field. Instead, Hamlin immediately pointed to a sticker on his No. 11 Toyota that honored the memory of the late J.D. Gibbs.
“This one’s for J.D.,” Hamlin said.

There’s a world of buzz surrounding the Phillies’ pursuit of Bryce Harper and for good reason. He’s one of the most complete players in the game today. It isn’t difficult to project 500-plus home runs and 2,500 hits from what he’s already done through his 26th birthday.
