WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association)

An unsuspecting diplomat, former NBA (National Basketball Association) star Dennis Rodman plans to travel to Russia to help negotiate the release of WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) champion Brittney Griner. This isn't Rodman's first time representing the USA. You might remember his unlikely friendship with Kim Jong Un of North Korea. American Kenneth Bae thanked Rodman for being a “catalyst” in his 2014 release from North Korea. INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY

WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association)

The first round of the WNBA playoffs is underway, and the New York Liberty shocked the defending champion Chicago Sky at home in game one. Sky coach James Wade pleaded to fans to support the team saying, "I wanna see a lot of people with beer, just chugging it everywhere. Hairy chests with 'Chicago' logos on it and painted faces everywhere." The first round is a best-of-three games series, and the two teams play again tomorrow. SMELLS LIKE TEAM SPIRIT

MLB (Major League Baseball)

One of the league's young stars, San Diego Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr., tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PED). He claims the drug he tested positive for was used to treat ringworm. Regardless, he'll serve out his 80-game suspension.

Tatis is just the latest player to suffer from the Dairy Queen curse. He is the fourth spokesperson for Dairy Queen to have his season go sideways after participating in a campaign. (NOT SO) SWEET TREAT
