A bad day for superstars, and a draft prankster gets revealed
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Don't fight a gorilla today. The first rounds of the NBA and NHL playoffs are waning. Only one series is over, but yesterday's scoreboard was most consequential. It was also brutal on some of both sports' biggest names. Quickly: Elsewhere in hoops: The Knicks are up 3-1 thanks in part to a bad call late in their win over the Pistons, while the Celtics skated past the Magic to go up 3-1 in that series. Full NBA takeaways are here. On to the ice: We have two other 3-1 series (Capitals-Canadiens and Hurricanes-Devils) after last night's action, too. Tune in to Red Light, our new hockey newsletter, for more later this morning. Let's keep moving: Two moments yesterday, both from the world of football, made me wince harder than I have in months. Cringe with me: 1. The truth behind the Shedeur prank Amid all the coverage of Shedeur Sanders' draft slide, you may have missed the story of two college kids prank-calling Sanders during the second round of the draft, pretending to be Saints general manager Mickey Loomis. Sanders, however, purchased that phone for use during the draft only and sent the number to NFL teams. Yesterday, we found out the prank was made possible by 21-year-old Jax Ulbrich, son of Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who apparently cribbed the number from his father's tablet. Advertisement Everyone does stupid stuff at 21, but man, that was brutal, especially to someone in a vulnerable spot as the entire sporting world talks about why teams don't like him. Just … woof. 2. Bill Belichick's bizarre PR flop Have you ever watched 'CBS Sunday Morning'? It's a delightful program, full of uplifting stories meant to make you smile the day before a new week begins. Yesterday, the program aired an interview with North Carolina coach Bill Belichick, 73, whose 24-year-old girlfriend was a 'constant presence' in the interview, according to CBS, and notably nixed a question about how she and Belichick met. The clip caused a firestorm across social media yesterday, naturally, and while someone's private relationship is their own business, this one has a way of entering the spotlight over and over. If you haven't already, it's worth reading Matt Baker's story on Hudson's role at UNC. Cringe over. Moving on. Guardians apologize to Duran The Cleveland Guardians issued an apology to Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran after a fan taunted Duran yesterday. Duran had to be held back by teammates and coaches in an ensuing shouting match. It comes just weeks after Duran opened up about a suicide attempt, which was incredibly brave and impactful. Read more on the fan incident here. Liverpool caps dream year with blowout We've known the result for a while now, but the moment was spectacular nonetheless. Liverpool are Premier League champions after a 5-1 rout of Tottenham Hotspur yesterday, winning a title a year after legendary coach Jurgen Klopp left. New manager Arne Slot navigated those waters, a personnel mess with Mohamed Salah's contract quagmire and a brutal EPL schedule to clinch first with four games left. Scenes, as they say.

Check out our other newsletters. 📺 NHL: Lightning at Panthers 7 p.m. ET on ESPN Both games tonight are excellent (Avs at Stars, 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN), but this one lines up better with our night. Behind Jake Guentzel, Tampa is back in this series. Let's see how the defending champs respond. 📺 NBA: Rockets at Warriors 10 p.m. ET on TNT/Max I remain stunned that the Warriors played so well without Jimmy Butler in Game 3, but then I remember Steph Curry was playing and it all makes sense. Butler should be back for this one. Huge, huge game. Get tickets to games like these here. Tonight, the Marlins are in Los Angeles to play the Dodgers — the lowest payroll in baseball ($69 million) plays its highest ($476 million). Andy McCullough traveled to Miami to help explain one of the sport's biggest problems. Worth your time today. We have plenty more NFL Draft to discuss. First: Dane Brugler ranked all classes from No. 1-32. We'll have more on this tomorrow.

Also, Scott Dochterman broke down all 257 picks by college conference and team. See the tabulations here.
