Oklahoma's softball dynasty ends, plus Deion speaks out on Shedeur
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Win a chess match today, and watch for projectiles. We must start this morning on the softball diamond, where a change of power happened last night with a sacrifice fly. It ended a thrilling game — and one of the most impressive streaks you'll see in organized sports. Quickly: The Red Raiders start their title series tomorrow against Texas, which beat Tennessee 2-0 yesterday. We'll have more on the college tournaments this week. Away we go: Boisson's big break Last year was supposed to be a dream for French tennis player Loïs Boisson. A torn ACL the week before the French Open, to which she had earned a wild-card entry, broke her heart. How did she respond? The dream was merely delayed, as Boisson's stunning upset win over women's world No. 3 Jessica Pegula yesterday sent Boisson to the quarterfinals at Roland Garros. The crowds should be roaring for Boisson, 22, tomorrow. Also from Paris: Coco Gauff is moving on, while Jack Draper is done. Advertisement Intoxicated bettor sends death threats Houston police identified an overseas man as the culprit behind death threats against Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and his family after a bad outing last month. The man told authorities he was 'frustrated and inebriated' when he posted the threats on social media. 'I understand people are very passionate and people love the Astros and love sports,' McCullers said after the game. 'But threatening to find my kids and murder them is a little bit tough to deal with.' No charges have been filed yet. More details in our report. Deion 'hurt' by Shedeur reports In a podcast interview, Colorado coach Deion Sanders said the draft narratives surrounding his son, Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders, 'hurt' and called them 'foolish stuff.' More Sanders: 'Anybody who knows my son understands he's a professional. He's going into a meeting with headphones on? C'mon, man.' See his full comments here. More news 📫 Love The Pulse?

We've periodically checked in on both Magnus Carlsen, the world's No. 1 player/jeans supporter, and Gukesh Dommaraju, the sport's favorite wunderkind. The two played each other Sunday, which led to this: OH MY GOD 😳🤯😲 — Norway Chess (@NorwayChess) June 1, 2025 That's Carlsen realizing he's just lost to Dommaraju, 19, for the first time in a classical match. There appeared to be plenty of angst in the chess world over Carlsen's antics, but both players seemed fine afterward, according to As you can see, Carlsen quickly apologized, while Dommaraju told the publication he's 'banged a lot of tables in my career.' Read our full story on the incident here. I know chess is a … proper sport, but that was actually electric. 📺 MLB: Guardians at Yankees 7:05 p.m. ET on TBS We have a real New York-centric glut of national TV games this week (Mets-Dodgers is your other option tonight), but I'm interested in Cleveland, a good team unfortunate to exist in baseball's deepest division. Good game. 📺 Soccer: USWNT vs. Jamaica 8 p.m. ET on TNT/Max This here is a friendly, and seeing Naomi Girma back in an American kit is a friendly sight. Let's see if Emma Hayes' squad can build on a nice 3-0 win against China over the weekend. Advertisement 📺 WNBA: Mercury at Lynx 8 p.m. ET on ESPN 3 Minnesota is one of two undefeated teams in the W, and by my count — apologies, Liberty — should be the favorite to actually win a title this year. Phoenix has been good, though, at 5-2 and could prove to be a foil. Another good game. Get tickets to games like these here. It's June, which means it's Pride Month. Steve Buckley talked to the athletes whose coming-out announcements made a huge impact on the sporting world. Worth your time today. When Rams coach Sean McVay was at his lowest, Chris Petersen — the former Boise State and Washington coach — cold-called McVay. The olive branch reset McVay's career. Grace Raynor had the unenviable job of picking the best No. 1 college football recruits of the 21st century. She came down to two options. Simmering on the NHL backburner: Mitch Marner's free agency, which will be the story of the summer. James Mirtle ranked all 32 potential landing spots.

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.

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.

Warriors-Grizzlies Play-In game felt like playoff basketball. Plus, NFL Draft prep gets real
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Eat all the spaghetti you please today. The record books might not remember these NBA Play-In games, which exist in a weird void between the regular season and playoffs, but we'll be thinking about the late game last night for a while: So now the No. 7 seeds are set: The Warriors will face Houston in the first round, while Orlando, after a blowout vs. the Hawks, will match up with the Celtics. Memphis and Atlanta will get another shot to advance Friday. Whew. Also: Marcus Thompson joined NBA Daily live to break it all down. Watch. Over in the NHL, only one spot remains undecided in the Stanley Cup playoffs race after the Wild and Blues clinched berths last night. The Canadiens currently sit in the final wild-card spot in the East, but only lead the Blue Jackets by two points with one game each left to play. Buckle up! The NFL feels so constant and universal that its biggest events can actually sneak up on you. It's draft season? Of course it's draft season. It's always draft season. It's already next year's draft season, and half of the upcoming football season will be about it. Oh wait, it's actually draft season now, like for real. The first round in Green Bay is next Thursday. Advertisement With one week of final mock drafts and workouts and trade buzz still to go, we huddled with Jacob Robinson, author of our free NFL newsletter, for three quick questions. A few recent headlines might be tea leaves, smoke screens or some other metaphor entirely. Cam Ward at No. 1 to Tennessee feels locked in, pending a big trade. After that, which teams are likeliest to set the tone for everyone else? 💬 Zac Jackson's recent reporting from Cleveland suggests to me that the Browns seem likely to pass on a quarterback at No. 2, though he doesn't rule out a trade up to No. 1. 👀 The other team to watch? The Giants, who hold the No. 3 pick and recently scheduled a private workout with Shedeur Sanders and other QBs. If he goes third, the entire draft board shifts. This draft looks light on top QBs, yet a run still feels possible. Which is more likely: Sanders falls out of the top 10 … or at least four QBs go in the first round? 💬 That's a tough one! Given the Saints' developing need at QB and No. 9 positioning, plus the success of last year's QB class (remember Bo Nix had been graded as a second-round talent by many evaluators), I'd say it's more likely four quarterbacks go in the first round, especially with prospects like Jaxson Dart and Jalen Milroe attending the draft in person, which could be a signal that they've heard favorable evaluations. If this QB crop is lacking, though, which positions are especially strong in this class? 💬 This draft is defined by three positions: Dane's full seven-round mock draft, just published today, envisions a first round light on QBs (as does Nick Baumgardner's mock from a few days ago). And let's link once again to The Beast, a tab you might as well just keep open for the next two weeks or so. Dallas GM has no regrets Mavericks GM Nico Harrison said he has 'no regrets' about trading Luka Dončić, and that Dallas targeted Anthony Davis because of its philosophy that 'defense wins championships.' Harrison — in his first media availability since the day after the trade — also said he thinks the Mavericks are still a 'championship-caliber' team when healthy, noting that fans got to see his vision come to life for '2 1/2 quarters' after the trade before Davis got hurt.

‘The Beast' is here, plus another shocking NBA coach firing
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 panic-fire a coach today. There are certain mile markers for the NFL offseason, as the Super Bowl gives way to the draft. The combine, pro days and … 'The Beast.' We are at the Beast marker today. Dane Brugler's seminal annual tome, 'The Beast,' is out today. I may sound biased here since my company produces and promotes it, but this is the draft resource for the entire football industry. Turn on any show or podcast tomorrow and you'll hear mention of it. If you could peep into coaches' offices around the league, you'd find printed copies of it lying around. There are detailed scouting reports for 400 players and rankings for almost 2,700 prospects over 523 pages. We have some fun insights from Dane in a bit, but I want to do a lightning round of superlatives first: OK, on to Dane, who you'll see on a widespread press tour between now and the draft: Who's the best prospect we're not talking about right now? 💬 I don't think Georgia center Jared Wilson gets enough attention. At 6-foot-3 and 310 pounds, he is an outstanding athlete with the football IQ and toughness to get the job done. He's only a one-year starter, but I'll bet we see him start pretty quickly and continue to ascend as a player. One other player who isn't talked about enough is Colorado State wide receiver Tory Horton, whose knee injury midway through the 2024 season put him on the back burner a little bit. His speed and playmaking abilities are what NFL teams are looking for — look for him to find his way into the top 100 picks. If you had to pick today, who's your favorite for Rookie of the Year? I'm thinking about age, possible situation, etc. 💬 This has been primarily a quarterback and wide receiver award over the past half-decade, and Cam Ward will be a strong candidate with the Titans. But this is such a strong running back class and it's a good bet one of those guys takes the award, especially with Ashton Jeanty leading the way. The team that drafts him in the top 10 will be doing so to make him a focal point of the offense, so he will see plenty of touches and opportunities to produce. I'd also keep close tabs on the running back who lands in Denver, whether it is Omarion Hampton or another rookie. It might be a situation with multiple mouths to feed, but it's an offense ready to produce. What's the best weird fact you uncovered while making this book? 💬 Before he was a top-75 prospect as a wide receiver, Ole Miss' Tre Harris was a high school quarterback and talented basketball player. He was ready to give up football to focus on the hardcourt, but one of his wide receivers talked him into returning to the football team. That wide receiver? Malik Nabers. Many thanks to Dane, who must be exhausted. And we saved a fun new wrinkle for last: The Beast is fully interactive this year online, and everyone can access it for free on The Athletic's app (download on Apple or Google Play). You can also check it out online here. Let's keep moving: Dotel dead at 51 Former MLB reliever Octavio Dotel died in a tragic roof collapse at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic, local officials confirmed. Dotel was among at least 78 others who died in the collapse, and 160 others were injured. Dotel played for 13 teams across 15 seasons in the major leagues, winning the 2011 World Series with the Cardinals. He was more than his stats, though, as Tyler Kepner wrote in a beautiful obituary.

Will Mike Trout ever play for a contender? Plus, Duke dominates
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 give up three homers on the first three pitches you throw today. This weekend, the Angels are visiting the White Sox in just about the saddest opening-weekend series imaginable. Unlike last year's record-setting Sox, these Angels are not going to be the worst team in baseball, but they are likely to remain sub-mediocre. FanGraphs started them out with 10 percent postseason odds. You know the basics: Shohei Ohtani is long gone, playing elsewhere in the Los Angeles region. The club hasn't made the playoffs in a full 10 years now. Keith Law ranks the farm system dead last. The starting rotation is almost that bad. The Tungsten Arm O'Doyle tweet is a baseball article of faith. Advertisement In the middle of it all, still, is Mike Trout. From 2012 to 2019, he was a time-traveling Willie Mays, averaging nine wins above replacement (per Baseball Reference). From 2020 to '24, he was a decently productive outfielder, averaging 2.8 — with an outlier 40-homer 2022. The Angels and their greatest player have slipped into an even sadder phase lately. Trout is probably still a heck of a hitter, having accumulated a 140 OPS+ last year. He's just always hurt. The past five seasons, he's played 53, 36, 119, 82 and 29 games. How much greatness does he have left to share? Sadly, it's a fair question. He turns 34 this season, and the Angels finally gave up on a key part of his baseball identity: playing center field. He's now a right fielder on a hopeless team that wants to avoid him being a defensive liability as he ages. You know what would be fun? Trout going to a contending team, becoming a designated hitter, staying healthy-ish and getting his Ray Bourque-on-the-Avalanche championship. It would be hard, though, no matter how many people dream of Trout one day going to his hometown-ish Phillies (he's from New Jersey) or anywhere else. He's signed through 2030 for $35.45 million per year, making him a toxic asset the Angels might not even want to move. I asked The Athletic's Angels reporter, Sam Blum, for percentage odds of a Trout trade: 💬 About 15 percent. The only reason it's that high is the chance he's dealt in the very late stages of his deal, for the purpose of getting him closer to home and to a contender ahead of retirement. But generally, I think it's very unlikely that Trout is ever dealt. For one, he's expressed no interest in it. His contract is also too expensive, and his production has been too minimal. The Angels would have to eat a lot of money. Or they'd have to be performing badly and Trout would need to be putting up MVP-level numbers. Even then, I wouldn't expect Arte Moreno to deal his most marketable star. The plans for Trout's exfiltration will stay in a Signal thread full of Pulse staffers. For now. You know the drill by now. An underdog makes a late run, but it ultimately proves all for naught as the year of the chalk continues. Nevertheless, half the Final Four is set: No. 1 Florida and No. 1 Duke. Let's start with the nail-biter: No. 3 Texas Tech looked poised to become the first giant killer of the tournament, up by nine with less than three minutes to play. Enter: a barrage of 3s from Florida, as Walter Clayton Jr. showed exactly why he's earned Stephen Curry comps in recent weeks. The last one was simply ridiculous: WALTER CLAYTON ARE YOU SERIOUS?! 🤯#MarchMadness — NCAA March Madness (@MarchMadnessMBB) March 30, 2025 On the other side of the bracket, the Blue Devils put everyone on notice. Duke dismantled No. 2 Alabama 85-65, despite Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel combining to shoot just 12-of-31 from the field. Much of the same on the women's side, where the top seeds all advanced yesterday. Of note: USC has a JuJu Watkins Funko Pop on their bench 🥹 [image or embed] — The Athletic (@ March 29, 2025 at 10:04 PM Half of men's Final Four is set Three home runs on the first three pitches. That's how the Yankees welcomed former Yankee pitcher Nestor Cortes back to the Bronx. Through four innings, Aaron Judge had three home runs on his own. And by the time the Brewers' pitching staff limped to the finish line, New York had launched nine balls over the fence. One shy of the MLB record. (Oh, and several Yankees players happened to be using newly designed bats … hmmm. Take a look at the unique bats.)
