This week felt like someone spun the sports-news Wheel of Chaos and just let it ride.

We start with Michael Jordan and his NASCAR squad winning the Daytona 500—which should have been the headline. Instead, it came after public drama with NASCAR, a lawsuit, a settlement… and then a victory lap. Oh—and the internet doing what the internet does over an awkward clip that had everyone asking, “What exactly am I watching?” It was a weird, weird weekend. Lawsuits, trophies, confusion. Just another casual few days in MJ’s orbit.

Then we circle back to the Tony Clark situation. Last week we mentioned his sudden exit as Executive Director of the MLB Players Association. Now we’ve got the details: an internal investigation found he was in an improper relationship with his sister-in-law—who had been hired by the MLBPA in 2023. Add in a federal investigation tied to the MLBPA’s youth baseball company, Players Way, and suddenly labor peace in 2027 doesn’t feel so guaranteed. Let’s just say… this was not the kind of clubhouse leadership MLB was hoping for.

We’ve also got body cam footage from the Marshon Lattimore traffic stop. When asked if there were any guns in the car: “No.” When police opened the glove box before towing it for expired plates: loaded handgun. Not exactly the transparency drill you practice.

Quick Hits:

We are officially on Jaromír Jágr retirement watch after 38 professional seasons. He’s finally talking about it. I’m not ready.

Former coach Benjamin Shroats, who worked with U.S. gold medalist Amber Glenn, has been arrested in Texas on serious charges involving alleged inappropriate relationships with athletes. He’s currently held on bond as the investigation continues.

Jaylen Brown is considering legal action against the City of Beverly Hills after police shut down his private, invitation-only Oakley brand event during All-Star Weekend—despite what he says was no permit requirement. Financial damage, reputational harm, and due process concerns? This one might not be over.

The tragic passing of Rondale Moore at 25 remains under investigation. Early reports suggest a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound, but officials have not formally announced a cause. A heartbreaking situation with far too many questions.

And then… The Biggest Pickle.

This week’s honor goes to Kash Patel—or maybe USA Hockey. Or maybe both.

By the end of this episode, we may not solve anything—but we will absolutely ask the loud questions.

Buckle up. It’s chaos season.
