That’s right, a love letter, written on hotel stationary, written by Jordan was being sold at auction, because this is 2020 and we love anything Michael Jordan does. The letter, which is 20 pages long and features a tonally apologetic Jordan, was being sold off by Iconic Auctions, an Arizona-based auction platform....

There have been few rivalries as vitriolic and hate-filled as the late ’80s Bulls teams and the “Bad Boy” Pistons teams. If Michael Jordan’s demeanor and responses in Episode 3 of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” that bad blood is still boiling today. “I hated them, and the hate carries to this day,” Jordan said. It didn’t end there, though. “You can show me anything you want. There’s no way you’re gonna convince me he wasn’t an a—hole,” Jordan said of Pistons guard Isiah Thomas....

With 97 percent of the vote counted, Biden leads Trump by a margin of 1.2 percent, 49.8 percent to 48.6 percent, bringing CNN to call the state for the Democratic contender. As the nation’s 10th-most populous state, Michigan holds 16 electoral votes—a significant prize in the race to victory in the Electoral College. Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016 by a margin of just 0.2 percent. The president’s previous win in the state was viewed as an upset, as polls had indicated Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton would come out on top....

Whitsett did not reveal why the lawsuit was filed or what it alleged. Governor Whitmer has been the subject of numerous lawsuits, many from members of the state GOP, who attempted to limit the governor’s emergency powers during the coronavirus pandemic.

At the plate was left-handed hitter Michael Bourn, and the Mets had right-hander Hansel Robles on the mound, trying to wiggle his way out of a jam created by a Chris Owings double, a Phil Gosselin walk and a double steal, with two strikeouts mixed in. New York had left-hander Josh Edgin up in the bullpen, but Terry Collins elected to stick with Robles. “Robles has been getting out lefties at a pretty good rate,” Collins said....

School pride is everything for any college baseball program. The program is bigger than everything. The main focus is the program and your teammates, nothing else. Playing at a big college program like University of Florida, you hear phrases like “it’s for the program” or “for Gator Nation” or “the Gator Way." At big school like that, there’s a lot of rah-rah and hype. My first year playing ball there, I fell into the “do it for the program” mentality....

During a public briefing on Friday, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said that people from both countries have joined search-and-rescue groups.

Many have required continual assistance as the search for their loved ones continues....

On Saturday, Sonoyta residents used their cars to form a blockade on the main road into the border town, briefly preventing drivers from crossing into Mexico. The border crossing is known as the fastest route to get to the seaside resort of Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point. Speaking with Newsweek, Carlos Eduardo Chávez Jacquez, who helped organize the demonstration and runs a Facebook page titled “Sonoyta Unido Jamás Será Vencido,” or “United Sonoyta Will Never Be Defeated,” said protesters would be forming another blockade on Monday....

“I have it. I have it. And that’s why I’m answering you the way I’m answering. There are three positions where I have three players and there are only two places,” he told Goal last month in North Texas during an exclusive, wide-ranging interview ahead of Mexico’s game there against Croatia on March 27. “At the end, something will happen that will tell me, ‘This is it.’ The items are: Who can play where, who can play against who and who is in the best possible shape....

Twice in Sunday’s third-place game he was asked to stop players from 12 yards out after his defenders committed penalties in the box. Once he was able to rise to the occasion, but he was unable to stop Andre Silva from the spot a second time as Portugal topped Mexico 2-1 to take third place in the Confederations Cup. “As a Mexican, as a national team player, I feel proud of my team, of the national team that always showed its face, the way in which the people treated us, the reorganization they’ve given us when they’ve seen Mexico in Russia, and we go with a taste for revenge in our mouths for the World Cup, with the desire to return and do better,” the goalkeeper said at a news conference after the game....

Residents will still be permitted to perform essential tasks such as shopping for food or picking up prescriptions. Essential businesses will also remain open. “We are putting in a shelter in place or stay at home order in today,” Suarez said. “I’ve been trying to do it for the last week. Unfortunately, I’ve been getting resistance internally. We’re hoping that people get the message to stay home and if you’re coming from spring break, go home....

Sort of. Yellow Jackets punter Ryan Rodwell did his job at least, getting past the first down marker and buying Georgia Tech another set of downs, but at what cost? My question is what Rodwell was thinking when he met his final opponent. Was he simply trying to step around him to the right, or did he think he was going to hurdle him and prove once-and-for-all that punters are, indeed, athletes too?...

Avenatti’s attorneys filed papers Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, saying the lawyer who gained fame by representing porn star Stormy Daniels and by sparring on social media with President Donald Trump is being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department. The lawyers wrote that Avenatti was facing criminal charges in part because of “his aggressive public persona, long feud with President Trump, and brief entanglement with” New York prosecutors who blamed him for spoiling a planned meeting with Daniels last year in their probe of ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen....

Nevertheless, contrary to Rob McElhenney and Reynolds’ joint plan to purchase the humble Wrexham AFC, Jordan won’t be starring in any sports documentaries, with his shares representing only a portion of the takeover by American billionaire Bill Foley. The venture is just the latest instance of businessmen or companies from the United States looking over to Premier League football since Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Fulham, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Leeds United, and more recently Chelsea are all in American hands....
