Paul Heyman on being the most interesting man at WWE WrestleMania 41: ‘The baddie in this love story’

The WWE Hall of Famer will pay off his storyline favor and real-life promise to CM Punk by leaving the side of the Wisman’s “Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns to be in the corner of “The Best in the World” for his first WrestleMania main event on Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium (7:30 p.m., Peacock).

Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. violates MLB social media policy in post ripping umpire after ejection

New York Yankees infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. was ejected from Thursday night’s win over the Tampa Bay Rays, but he could find himself in bigger trouble after he appeared to violate MLB’s social media policy. 

Chisholm was ejected in the seventh inning after he argued a third strike call from plate umpire John Bacon. After arguing at the plate, Chisholm was thrown out of the game for his fifth career ejection.

But the argument would not end there, as Chisholm took to social media to further condemn Bacon’s call. 

"Not even f---ing close," Chisholm wrote in a post on X before later deleting it. 

Chisholm reportedly posted the message minutes after his ejection and while the game was still going on. The post was an apparent violation of Major League Baseball’s social media policy, which prohibits the use of electronic devices during games.

According to the policy, "electronic equipment" cannot be used 30 minutes prior to the start of a game until its conclusion. Additionally, the policy prohibits any content "that questions the impartiality of or otherwise denigrates a Major or Minor League umpire." 

Chisholm’s actions on Thursday appeared to violate both of those rules. 

After the game, Chisholm told the media that he did not believe that anything he had said prior to the ejection warranted his being kicked out of the game. He added that his comments after the call was made to eject him probably would have. 

"I'm a competitor, so when I go out there, and I feel like I'm right, and you're saying something to me that I think doesn't make sense, I'm going to get fired up and be upset," he said. 

"I lost my emotions, I lost my cool. So, at the same time, I still got to be able to stay out there and play defense for my team. That's why I'm here."

The Yankees beat the Rays 6-3.

ESPN staple rips 'toxic' Nico Iamaleava, pleads with school to not take him

Nico Iamaleava is becoming somewhat of a martyr, but yet a primary example, in today's NIL environment.

Iamaleava did not show up at Tennessee's spring practice last Friday, reportedly due to NIL contract discussions.

Iamaleava, 20, is reportedly set to earn $2.4 million this season but wants to renegotiate his deal to $4 million per year. However, reports are circulating that schools are offering less than half of his original pay.

The quarterback's essential holdout has brought upon much criticism, and an ESPN staple chimed in on Thursday, pleading with a school near his home to stay away.

"UCLA - don't do it. Don't take him. This kid is toxic," Bill Plaschke, a writer for the Los Angeles Times who often appears on "Around the Horn," said on Thursday's show.

"At some point, we have to talk about these kids. He had a $2.4 million salary, he wants to nearly double his salary even though he hasn't won a playoff game, and he walks out on the team on the first day of spring training. He's all about the money, he's not about the team. Two-and-a-half million dollars is not enough for him even though he's an average quarterback."

The 20-year-old was reportedly going to make $2.2 million with Tennessee for the 2025-26 season through the school's NIL collective and Spyre Sports Group.

The deal, which he signed as a high school junior, reportedly had the potential to exceed $10 million with incentives that included championship and Heisman Trophy wins. 

But that all changed when ESPN reported that Iamaleava was seeking a deal of around $4 million for this season, which other quarterbacks transferring this year are getting. One of them was Carson Beck, who left the Georgia Bulldogs to join the Miami Hurricanes

Tennessee moved on from the quarterback amid the controversy.

Iamaleava reportedly entered the transfer portal Wednesday with a "do not contact" tag by his profile, which indicates he has some idea where he'll be playing next. Oregon is a program that has been linked to Iamaleava since reports began to surface about his situation at Tennessee.
