Yes, I turned the game off last night. I will not be taking any questions at this time.

Kansas Jayhawks News

Lance Leipold Provides Encouraging Injury Update on Jalon Daniels
Even after playing all 12 games for the first time ever last season, the star signal-caller was still dealing with a nagging injury in 2024, undergoing a minor knee surgery in February.

Leipold explains KU’s transfer portal approach at defensive end – KU Sports
Coming out of spring practice, the Kansas football team had a wide range of skill sets at defensive end and an increasingly versatile group of players providing depth at the position.

One thing the Jayhawks didn’t have was the same kind of size and length that two of its players provided on the strong side of the defensive line in 2024.

2025 NBA Finals: Biggest takeaways from Thunder-Pacers Game 1 – ESPN
For the first 47 minutes, 40 seconds of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander thoroughly outplayed Tyrese Haliburton in a matchup of star point guards.

But as Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said after Indiana’s remarkable comeback to beat the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals: It’s a 48-minute game. And, in those final 20 seconds Thursday night, Haliburton and the Pacers changed the narrative … again.

From ‘nude parades’ to Imane Khelif: The problematic history of gender verification at the Olympics – Yahoo Sports
Less than a week before Imane Khelif was poised to return to competitive women’s boxing, the sport’s new global governing body set up a potential roadblock.

Why the Supreme Court’s liberal justices keep joining the conservatives on new opinions.
The Supreme Court handed down three major decisions on Thursday involving hot-button issues like workplace discrimination, religious freedom, and gun smuggling.

The left flank of the court eased the way for “reverse discrimination” claims, expanded religious exemptions from state taxes, and shielded gun companies from a potentially ruinous lawsuit.
