Stephen A. Smith was so busted playing solitaire during NBA Finals
Oh no, Stephen A. Smith. This is probably not what you what fans to be focusing on during a terrific 2025 NBA Finals now that the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers are all tied up. The ESPN personality and maybe future presidential candidate was at Game 4 of the series at Indiana's Gainbridge Fieldhouse to cover the contest, but fans on social media caught him on his phone while the game was going on. And to top it all off, it appears that he was playing the classic Solitaire game to pass the time. Advertisement Smith ended up responding to all the attention with a joke ... or maybe he was trying to point out that he was playing Solitaire while watching the game on his phone. But either way, there was a lot of attention paid to Smith not watching the game he was at. Let's run through these posts on X (formerly Twitter): It started with someone posting the photo of Smith playing Solitaire on his phone "How can you have all of these opinions while you're playing solitaire instead of watching the game @stephenasmith?" Smith then claimed he was playing during a timeout "Yep! That's me. Who would've thought….I can multi-task. Especially during TIMEOUTS! Hope y'all are enjoying the NBA Finals. This is going 7 games now, peeps! A video appeared to show he was playing during game action, though Smith then sent what appears to be a screenshot Kevin Durant seemed to make fun of Stephen A. Smith on Instagram Just amazing stuff here. This article originally appeared on For The Win: Stephen A. Smith plays solitaire during NBA Finals and fans were mad

Baltimore Ravens rookie LaJohntay Wester receiving one-on-one coaching from John Harbaugh
AI-assisted summary Former Colorado wide receiver LaJohntay Wester, a sixth-round NFL draft pick by the Baltimore Ravens, is impressing coaches with his special-teams play. Wester has been working closely with Ravens head coach John Harbaugh on improving his punt return skills during OTAs and minicamp. While primarily drafted for special teams, Wester's performance and coaching interactions could lead to a larger offensive role. Wester's impressive punt return statistics at Florida Atlantic earned him the AAC Special Teams Player of the Year in 2023. While most eyes have been on former Colorado stars Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter through the NFL's offseason programs, a few Buffs have gone under the radar, including the speedy receiver LaJohntay Wester. Wester was selected in the sixth round of the NFL draft and is expected to be an immediate playmaker on special teams, making his transition to the pros promising. With this combination of size and explosiveness, along with his toughness, Wester has been turning heads throughout OTAs and minicamp, even getting some one-on-one coaching from Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh was spotted giving some advice to Wester that should help tune his return skills. The two spoke during drills, with Harbaugh coaching Wester on ball-tracking skills and drills he can use to improve his technique. Wester went on to implement those drills, improving with each punt he caught. In his lone season at Colorado, Wester had nine punt returns, with a 76-yard return against Utah, and averaged 12 yards per return. In his time with Florida Atlantic, however, he had carved out a role as a special teamer, returning 14 punts for 278 yards and one touchdown in 2023, earning him the American Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Year. Though he is pegged as a special-teams contributor, his performance and rapport with Harbaugh could give him a broader role. Wester will still need to prove himself on Baltimore's special teams, especially as a sixth-round pick, to gain a larger role on the Ravens' offense. However, showing out during the offseason is a step in the right direction. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle With training camp around the corner, Wester has laid a strong foundation. While nothing is guaranteed, his willingness to learn and apply feedback from Harbaugh speaks volumes to his character.
