The Giants won 3-2 in San Diego and finished 3-3 on season's first road trip. They took their first series against the rebuilt Padres. Wandy Peralta, who was nasty all trip, got his first career save. 4/7/21, 4:32 PM

What’s to be read about the style of QBs under contract and which rookie would fit in with that group? Yep, you’re correct. Probably nothing.

Teddy Bridgewater’s second stint as Sam Darnold’s teammate might be shorter than the first.
Bridgewater and his agent have found multiple teams interested in making a trade for the 28-year-old quarterback, according to NFL Network. The Panthers gave permission to Bridgewater and his agent to find a trade partner earlier this week, after they replaced him as their starting quarterback with Darnold’s acquisition.
In order to get a deal done, however, Bridgewater is going to need to take a pay cut. His contract pays a $17 million base salary, including $10 million guaranteed. That’s not in line with the market for a quarterback who either would be a backup or in a competition to start. Perhaps one of the teams expected to draft a first-round quarterback — like the Jaguars – or one who is uncertain about its young starter – like the Broncos – would add Bridgewater.
B- MATT MAIOCC0’S PIECE ON TREY LANCE—
WHAT SCOUTS ARE SAYING
“He is the most instinctual quarterback in this draft. I watched him and thought, ‘There’s no way he’s only played 17 games as a starter.'”
“The stuff he does in the pocket is so unique, a Dan Marino-type guy. Either everything comes so naturally for him or he has the best coach in college football.”
“He feels traffic from either side. He has a knack for stepping up, sliding left, sliding right. He doesn’t raise it or drop it.”
“He’s so young physically and mentally at the position. But his upside is tremendous.”

Golden State Warriors president and chief operating officer Rick Welts, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, will retire after the 2020-21 NBA season, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Thursday.
Welts has spent 46 years working in the NBA and, in 2011, became the most prominent sports executive to acknowledge that he is gay. After beginning his NBA career as a ball boy with the Seattle SuperSonics in 1969 and literally fetching coffee for coach Bill Russell, Welts eventually was the team's public relations director when it won a championship in 1979.
Welts also worked with the Phoenix Suns from 2002 to '11, holding roles as president and CEO. The Seattle native witnessed the Warriors win three NBA titles during his 11 years with the franchise and he also oversaw the building of their state-of-the-art Chase Center in San Francisco.
Welts also played a major role in marketing the NBA during his 17 years as an executive with the league. In addition to developing the idea for an NBA All-Star Weekend in 1984, he also promoted "The Dream Team" and the WNBA.
United States women's national team star Megan Rapinoe hit back at a series of tweets by Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green in which he, in part, blamed women for making "complaints" rather than taking action over disparities in pay and investment in women's sports.
On a Zoom call ahead of this summer's Olympics in Tokyo, Rapinoe told reporters that a series of tweets made by Green last month, on which he tagged a number of WNBA stars, were misguided.
- Rapinoe to Congress: We don't know potential of women's sports
- Rapinoe: Jersey represents equal pay fight, not U.S. Soccer
"It's really unfortunate, in the position [Green's] in, having all of the resources that he has and the ability to have a much more educated opinion, that he just hasn't," said Rapinoe, who has been at the forefront of the USWNT's quest for equal pay. "And then, drag all these other people into it by tagging them and speaking at a time when the [NCAA] tournament is going on and all that we saw with the lack of resources and funding.
"That's frustrating that's the take you have. You obviously showed your whole ass in not even understanding what we all talk about all the time -- WNBA players and us on the national team. Like what Sue [Bird] said, you tagged the wrong people. You don't think we asked for more money? I mean, what are we screaming about? Nonstop!
"We are getting obnoxious to ourselves, to be honest. And then two or three days later, to completely double down on it is really frustrating. We know all this, about all social movements and all people who are marginalized, whether it's by race or gender, religion, sexuality, whatever it is, it is not just their job to be the ones fighting oppression. We need all of the other people as well. So to have someone who does know what it is like to be oppressed, in many ways, to heap that all back on female players, or people who play female sports, it is just really disappointing."

Tiger was going 85 mph when he crashed. Los Angeles sheriff deputies did not test his blood for impairment. They did not check his phone to see if he was texting. Wonder if you and I would’ve gotten the same privilege. 4/7/21, 11:16 AM
