Cleveland, OH

Donovan Mitchell continues to play it right down the middle. After his Cleveland Cavaliers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Boston Celtics while Mitchell was in street clothes due to a calf strain, speculation started to swirl about his future with the team. Mitchell has one year left on his contract at $35.4 million, following that he can be a free agent. The Cavaliers will offer him a four-year, $208.5 million contract extension this summer. Whether or not he signs it changes the direction of the Cavaliers this offseason — if he does not, the team has to consider trading him rather than letting him walk for nothing in the summer of 2025.

Donovan Mitchell: ‘I am happy in Cleveland.’ But will he sign extension?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville resident John Mills was killed early Friday as he attempted to cross a busy road and was struck by a shuttle bus at the PGA Championship. Mills was working for one of the vendors at this week’s event and was pronounced dead on the scene, just after 6 a.m. ET. The investigation caused traffic on Shelbyville Road, the main thoroughfare to enter Valhalla Golf Club, to be closed in both directions and delayed the start of the second round by an hour and 20 minutes.

On our list of this offseason’s Top 100 free agents, only four of the Top 50 are still available. That includes safety Justin Simmons, who was cut by the Broncos in March. Simmons was a second-team All-Pro last season, but there’s been little indication that NFL teams are showing much interest in his services, and that includes the team that knows him best. The Broncos are very unlikely to bring Simmons back, according to the Denver Post.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.
