1. Nine-year NBA veteran Malik Beasley was indicted Monday on sports betting charges.

Beasley, who last played in the NBA with the Pistons in 2025, allegedly lost millions of dollars gambling during his career. According to the indictment, Beasley agreed to manipulate his stats in several games during the 2023–24 season when he was on the Bucks so that his co-conspirators could wager on his prop bets.

I think because of Sports Illustrated’s editorial standards, I can’t sit and say Beasley is so obviously guilty until that is actually proven in court.

But in the court of public opinion, it would appear that Beasley’s goose is cooked, especially after the findings of one sleuth on social media. The evidence of Beasley’s, let’s say, shady behavior, is all here. This is just incredible work. The videos speaks for themselves but the hilarious NSFW commentary is a nice bonus.

2. Last week, I said I didn’t care about the Dianna Russini story. I stand by that. I have no interest at all in whatever Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel did or didn’t do.

However, I do have interest in this bodycam footage that came out Monday night of Russini getting pulled over for texting while driving in January.

The behavior by Russini and the cop is both disgusting and cringeworthy.

3. NBC and Peacock will air all 15 MLB games being played this Sunday. Here is the schedule and the broadcasters.

4. Former Nationals outfielder Stone Garrett, who crossed paths with current Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor during their time together in the Marlins organization, took to Instagram on Monday to share a totally surreal story about getting stabbed by Naylor during a prank gone awry.

5. Three days ago, an absolutely tremendous a 64-entry bracket with Mets screwups made its way around social media.

Since the bracket was published, we’ve had two new gaffes.

This happened Monday night in the Mets-Blue Jays game during Toronto’s first at-bat of the game.

Later in the same game, Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez got hit with a bat by a teammate while they were both in the on-deck circle.
