Believe in Zimmerman!On May 24, 1941, the best thing that ever happened music, ever, was born.Bob Dylan didn't drop his first album until 1962, but his birthday happened eighty-two years ago, and as far as audiophiles are concerned, this is a holy day.If time-traveling music historians exist, the birthday of Robert Allen Zimmerman is likely burned into the dashboards of several DeLoreans and phone boxes.

Renewing a legal battle that some had considered settled, gun rights advocates filed a federal lawsuit this week challenging a California law that places a 10-day waiting period on most firearm purchases.The law, which requires people to wait the prescribed "cooling off" period even if they've passed a more immediate background check, is aimed in part at deterring people from rushing to harm themselves or others with newly purchased weapons during periods of sudden distress or anger.

This certainly isn't anything new, or surprising, for Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron.Even in his 19th NHL season and the possibility of retiring looming over his head, the 37-year-old Bergeron continues to prove he is one of the best two-way forwards the league has to offer.That was justified yet again Tuesday with the NHL announcing Bergeron as a finalist for the Selke Trophy for the 12th consecutive season.

The Yankees looked ready to rumble from the start today, but their minor league relief pitchers couldn't quite hold things together as they fell to the Orioles.The regulars who made the trip to Sarasota did an excellent job in the lineup, and the position battles that the Yankees face become more and more interesting by the day.

After re-signing with the Yankees on a six-year contract, DJ LeMahieu muddled through a down 2021 season.The power stroke he suddenly flashed over his first two years in New York vanished, and questions abounded about the infielder's status.If LeMahieu regressed heavily in the first year of his new deal, what did that portend about his long-term future with the Yankees?

I miss the old Leury Garcia.The 2019-2021 Leury Garcia.The clutch playoff homer-hitting Leury Garcia.The serviceable, smiling, pinch-hitting Leury Garcia.Alright, that's a bit misleading, as we all know Leury was never really an impact player for the White Sox.However, case in point, Leury was a respectable depth piece for the Chicago White Sox between 2015 and 2021.

Boston Red Sox new pitching prospect Taylor Broadway could contribute in 2023

The NFL announced its selections for the 2023 Pro Bowl on Wednesday night, and only one member of the New England Patriots was able to make the cut: linebacker Matthew Judon will be the team's lone representative in the new-look event.As for his teammates, the voters - a mix of fans, players and coaches - have not deemed them worthy of recognition.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said on Friday that the team has three main options to fill Tony Gonsolin's spot on the Opening Day roster and in the starting rotation.Those three guys are RHPs Ryan Pepiot, Michael Grove and Andre Jackson.All three have played well this spring, and at this point, Roberts can't really go wrong with any of them.

Vladimir Tarasenko is a member of the New York Rangers.As crazy as it is to believe, the Rangers believe they have struck gold with one of the most complete offensive players in hockey Thursday afternoon.With a contest against the Seattle Kraken coming Friday evening, it's an opportunity to see both Tarasenko and also acquired Niko Mikkola in a Blueshirts uniform.

The Miami Heat have a lot to fix across their remaining 20 games of the season or so.They've put on one of the most horrid two-game shooting displays that one could offer in their last two matchups against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Charlotte Hornets, both on the road.And the Miami Heat had better hope for improved shooting more sooner than later if they want to ultimately contend in the playoffs.

The Pacific Division has long been one of the stronger divisions in the NBA.Rotating between the Suns, Warriors and Lakers, the last eight NBA Finals have seen the Western Conference represented by the division.The cyclical nature of the NBA - and the Kings always being bad - meant that the division rarely saw all five teams field competitors at the same time.

Davison kept a double-digit balloon up in the air until the final buzzer.

More arm size without the gym.Ask 1,000 random lifters if they desire more muscular arms and very few (honest) souls will tell you "no."The biceps are among the most visible body parts, and an impressive set of guns will usually make heads spin.But there are other benefits to biceps training beyond adding slabs of meat under your sleeves - improved strength, shoulder stability, and joint health.
