New York Mets Drop A 12th Straight Game After 9th Inning Collapse

The Mets lost their 12th straight game — their longest skid since 2002 — and no team has reached the playoffs after a 12-game losing streak.
Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer and rookie Nolan McLean struck out 10 in a strong start that briefly gave the Mets the lead.
Closer Devin Williams blew the save, yielding the tiebreaking RBI to Luke Keaschall, issuing a bases-loaded walk and getting booed after failing to retire any of five batters.

Don’t sleep on Days 2–3 — some of the NFL’s biggest stars (Jalen Hurts, Cooper Kupp, Tyreek Hill, Brock Purdy, Puka Nacua) were late-round finds, so the draft’s real roster-building starts after Round 1.
Taylen Green is the “wow” quarterback sleeper this year: 6'6", elite testing (around a 4.36 40), huge rushing upside and a very high ceiling despite raw passing mechanics.
Other fun names to watch: Keionte Scott (explosive nickel with monster testing), Jonah Coleman (powerful, sure‑handed three‑down back), Gabe Jacas (versatile, gritty edge) and Bryce Lance (FCS deep threat with big-play speed).

Raheem Sterling — formerly of Manchester City and Chelsea — will leave Feyenoord at the end of the season after a short-term February move.
He managed just 333 league minutes, struggled for form and regular starts, and the club has ruled out a contract extension.
Sterling is expected to play up to four more times and bid farewell on May 17 as Feyenoord push for a top-two finish and Champions League qualification.

Ohio State could make history at the 2026 NFL Draft — Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, Carnell Tate and Caleb Downs are all viewed as potential top‑10 picks, and DT Kayden McDonald could add a fifth first‑rounder.
If it happens, it would cap what might be one of the best single‑year draft hauls from a school; Ohio State already has a history of huge classes (five first‑rounders in 2006 and 2016).
For context and small‑talk fodder, some all‑time great college draft classes include LSU 2019 (Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson), Miami 2004 (Ed Reed, Clinton Portis, Bryant McKinnie) and Georgia’s recent dominant draft classes on defense.

Hansi Flick says he intends to renew at Barcelona and sees the club as the likely final step of his career — he’s very happy with the team and dressing‑room atmosphere.
Barcelona sit nine points clear with seven games left, and Flick’s focus is on clinching a second consecutive La Liga title (they host Celta Vigo next).
The Champions League exit was painful but motivating — Flick hopes the setback will drive his young squad to improve for next season.
