If you’ve been keeping up with March Madness, this Dude of the Week comes as no surprise.

On Sunday, Duke and UConn faced off in the Elite Eight of the tournament. We’ve seen some electric games and runs, like Iowa making it way further than anyone expected. But on Sunday, we saw the best game in my opinion and the most electric shot of the tournament.

Duke was winning this game the whole time, and UConn couldn’t hit a three all game. Danny Hurley was acting like a sociopath, as usual, on the sidelines, and Duke’s Cameron Boozer was playing well in the paint.

Duke was up 72–70 with 10 seconds left when they inbounded the ball. All they had to do was hold it, get fouled, and walk out with a win. But instead, Cayden Boozer decided to advance the ball downcourt. The pass was tipped, and UConn got the ball back.

After a couple of passes, the ball ended up in Braylon Mullins’ hands. He pulled up from basically half court and drained the game-winning shot with 0.4 seconds left on the clock.

So it’s only right to give this week’s Dude of the Week to Braylon Mullins.

One of the funniest parts of this sequence besides Duke losing is the player who got his eye wet Isaiah Evans IG handle, “getuhhandup.” He did, in fact, not get a hand up.

Another great Duke loss, and the whole country got to see an amazing ending.

Lord have mercy, we have another one!!! The goalie fight — some would call it a lost art. Something that was once an integral part of the game we love, but somehow vanished. In 2024, Spectrum News even wrote an article titled, “Goalie fights have almost completely disappeared from the NHL.”

It seemed like anytime in recent history the tendies thought about dropping the mitts, the refs would step in and ruin the fun. NOT. THIS. YEAR.

On Tuesday night, we saw Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin and Devils goalie Jacob Markstrom drop the mitts and throw haymakers for almost 30 seconds. PURE ELECTRICITY.

Some thought it was a dying part of the game, but this year we’ve seen three goalie fights — far more than we’ve seen in recent years. Nothing says “That’s old school” and gets the fans fired up more than an NHL goalie fight.

Let the boys play!

On Friday afternoon, we got what feels like a familiar notification from ESPN: “Tiger Woods involved in a rollover car accident.”

One of the greatest drivers of the golf ball we have ever seen as well as one of the worst drivers ever. Woods was trying to pass a tractor-trailer on a two-lane highway when he clipped the side of the trailer and his vehicle fully flipped onto its side. Thankfully, no one was hurt in this accident, and Tiger seems to be fine physically.

Police reported that Woods had taken prescribed medication earlier that day and blew a 0.0 on the breathalyzer. Buttttttt, Tiger did have two Hydrocodone pills in his pocket, which is a very strong painkiller.

The whole golf world immediately realized after weeks of talks from Tiger that he will most definitely not be playing in the Masters this year. Tiger has now released a statement saying he will be stepping away from the game and not participating in the tournament.

Another funny point: Tiger Woods is not allowed to drive his girlfriend’s (Vanessa Trump) kids. The Secret Service has recognized Woods’ bad driving and said no to him operating a vehicle with the President’s grandkids in the car. Lol.

We are all hoping, obviously, that Tiger gets better—but maybe someone should grow some courage and get the greatest golfer of all time a driver. The lion does not concern himself with the rules of the road, and neither does the Tiger.

After an incredible March Madness run, we’ve finally reached the Final Four. This tournament has delivered everything we could have asked for up to this point, and it feels fitting that it all culminates with such a compelling group of teams.

Each of the four remaining squads brings a unique storyline. One punched its ticket thanks to what may go down as one of the worst collapses in sports history by Duke. Another, loaded with Eastern European talent, has been putting on a clinic and showing American teams how it’s done. The remaining two have simply been the most dominant forces in college basketball all season long.

The action tips off Saturday at 6 PM EST with UConn taking on Illinois, followed by Arizona versus Michigan. Both matchups offer intriguing contrasts in style and identity, and they should make for an electric night of basketball.

That said, Arizona vs. Michigan has all the makings of an instant classic—potentially one of the best games we’ve seen in years.

My picks: Illinois and Arizona advancing, with Arizona ultimately cutting down the nets.

After the first week of the MLB using the ABS system for balls and strikes, these umps are COOKED. In the first week, 175 pitches were challenged with a 54% overturn rate, which in itself is not terrible. But when we’ve got umps missing back-to-back pitches like CB Bucknor, it’s just a tough look.

In 20 years, we’re going to look back at the time when we had umpires and ask ourselves, “What in the hell were we thinking?!” The main reason the MLB implemented the ABS system is because of how popular sports gambling has become. When there’s big money on the line, these umpires need to be held responsible, and as a gambler, I couldn’t love it more.

Something else I’ve noticed is that whenever a call gets overturned, the crowd goes nuts, so it makes it feel like another play in the game. (I also just love exposing umpires—I always thought they were just nerds who sucked at baseball.)

Partial recovery week. Instagram performance rebounded and drove stronger audience growth, helping stabilize overall momentum. Sales improved from last week’s lows but remained below recent averages, while TikTok and YouTube stayed relatively muted. New ad campaigns were introduced as the team shifted toward a more aggressive growth approach.

Analyst outlook

Cautiously bullish.
Early signs of stabilization are forming, but broader performance remains uneven. If increased aggression and new ad strategies translate into stronger distribution and sales, DDNK could regain upward momentum in the near term.
