Jim Irsay's legacy reaches far beyond football. The recently deceased Colts owner possessed one of the world's finest rock memorabilia collections – including Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" guitar and The Beatles' complete Ed Sullivan Show instruments.

With ownership now transitioning to his three daughters, female representation among NFL team owners expands to ten franchises.

NHL playoffs feature the Florida Panthers establishing dominance against Carolina while Dallas staged an improbable third-period comeback against Edmonton with five unanswered goals. Meanwhile, NBA Conference Finals delivered instant drama when the Pacers erased a 14-point deficit in the final minutes against the Knicks, culminating with Tyrese Haliburton reviving Reggie Miller's infamous MSG choke gesture after hitting a clutch shot.

Baseball's landscape reveals early contenders as Detroit holds MLB's best record at 33-17, with Philadelphia surging behind seven consecutive victories. The most memorable moment? An Oakland backup catcher specifically requesting to pitch against Shohei Ohtani – and somehow striking him out. Elsewhere, the WNBA launched its season with unprecedented attention following the arrival of college stars Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers.

Perhaps most significantly, Brock Purdy signed a flexible $265 million extension with San Francisco that maintains team maneuverability following the Patrick Mahomes model rather than Dak Prescott's more restrictive structure.
