Caitlin Clark had to miss one of her boyfriend’s milestone moments as the WNBA star headed to the NFL Annual Meeting to talk about women’s sports, whilst Connor McCaffery competes in the College Basketball Crown.

An assistant coach with the Butler Bulldogs, the Iowa Hawkeyes alumni, will be on the sidelines trying to talk his players through the 16-team contest aired live on FOX Sports and backed by AEG.

The NCAA tournament gives an opportunity to a Bulldogs side that will be looking to bounce back in Las Vegas after their Big East Tournament quarterfinals elimination on March 13.

However, they will do so without the WNBA Rookie of the Year watching on from the stands due to her commitments in Florida as she joined Serena Williams and Eli Manning on a panel, talking about women’s flag football.

Naturally she stole the show in her red bodysuit alongside the other owners, coaches, and league officials, but attracted attention for her new arms after spending the months since September bulking up.

One of the most-fouled players in the WNBA, the 23-year-old aims to make sure she isn’t bullied nearly as much in 2025 so she can spur the Indiana Fever on to championship glory for the first time since 2015.

She was also joined on the panel by Lisa Williams, with the part-owner of the Denver Broncos, Mellody Hobson, hosting the discussion centered around capitalizing on the momentum of women’s sport.

Women’s Flag Football explodes

Women’s flag football has become increasingly popular in recent years and the NFL has noticed, making sure it keeps a watching eye on how it continues to develop at high school and college levels.

There are even talks that the International Olympic Committee could make it a sport for the 2028 Summer Games, which will be hosted in Los Angeles.

The main difference between typical American Football and flag football is you do not make tackles in the latter, instead you aim to steal a flag belt from the ball carrier to earn a down.

USMNT vs Australia live updates: Pulisic off injured, Wright equalises for US in friendly, score, analysis

Christian Pulisic had remained on the U.S. bench for a few minutes, watching the game in a winter coat. At one point, he hunched over, clearly upset. Matt Turner, sitting next to him, put his left arm around Pulisic and patted him on the back. Moments later, Pulisic got up and headed to the locker room accompanied by two staffers.He was still in the open-air portion of the stadium when Wright scored, but then he continued on to the locker room. Hard to escape the feeling that he’s the biggest story tonight, no matter what happens over the next 65 minutes.

Mike Shildt’s exit, the GM’s future and the offense: Takeaways from A.J. Preller’s presser

A.J. Preller’s season-wrapping videoconference was unusual for at least two reasons.It lasted almost 45 minutes, perhaps longer than any news conference the San Diego Padres president of baseball operations had held in more than a decade. And it took place Tuesday, almost two weeks after the team saw its playoff hopes dashed in another low-scoring game at Wrigley Field.AdvertisementThere was, it turned out, a major development behind the delay.Soon after the Padres’ elimination in the National League Wild Card Series, manager Mike Shildt informed Preller that he wished to spend a week at home in North Carolina. Rather than dive right into exit interviews and preparation for the 2026 season, the baseball lifer was requesting time away from the only career he’d ever known.By then, some players and staffers already were wondering if Shildt, 57, might not return as San […]
