05:49 PM ET 05.19 | Washington fans are known for their intense love for their team, but this is a bit different. Redskins fans bought every single item on Robert Griffin III's wedding registry, a move that I'm not sure has been done before. For those that were wondering, yes, Griffin was registered at Bed Bath & Beyond. I'm sure Griffin and his fiance could afford everything on their registry, but it's the thought that counts.

10:47 AM ET 05.19 | The naming of Nolan Ryan's son, Reid, as Astros team president on Friday is being viewed as owner Jim Crane's effort to put a kinder, more human face on the organization. Since buying the Astros from Drayton McLane for $680 million two years ago, Crane has earned the reputation of being a cold, indifferent businessman. He fired over half of the Astros' front office employees, including secretaries who worked there for 20 or more years. And, a lot of the popular former players, like Jeff Bagwell and Larry Dierker, were are said to have felt unwelcome by the organization. Young Reid, 41, who hung around the Astros clubhouse with his dad when Nolan pitched there in the '80s and who built a worthy resume as president of the Texas Rangers' AAA and AA farm teams, figures to be a much more engaging front man for the Astros. On the other hand, Crane is said be one of the least liked owners in baseball.

11:25 AM ET 05.19 | Suppose the Cavs end up with the No. 3 pick. They could offer their entire draft (all four picks) for No. 1, and that team could still draft someone such as Otto Porter at No. 3. Nerlens Noel is ideal for the Cavs, a team on a mission to improve its defense. He blocks shots, 4.4 per game. He can rebound, 9.5 per game. He influences the game defensively with a 7-4 wing span. What did the Cavs talk about all season? Improving the defense. Add Noel into the middle of the lane and suddenly there is help for Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters, who both have trouble on defense. Some of those layups the Cavs yielded a year ago will be blocked or missed at the rim. Noel would instantly transform the defense, and he's worth the wait for his knee to heal.

10:03 AM ET 05.19 | File this one away for the July 5 opening of the free agent market: If there's one guy on that Capitals club the Rangers have come to respect over the course of their annual playoff confrontations, that would be Matt Hendricks, the jagged-edged center who kills penalties and fits the Black-and-Blueshirt mold. Hendricks, who turns 32 next month, will be coming off a contract under which he earned $825,000 per. Expect the Rangers to put in a call when the market opens.

07:54 AM ET 05.18 | Former UFC welterweight Matt Riddle was released by the promotion following his second failed drug test for marijuana in his last three fights. Both of the fights were initially wins for Riddle, but they were overturned to a no contest from the governing bodies. Immediately following his release, Riddle signed on with Legacy Fighting Championship but he has already decided to leave for a new home. News surfaced late Friday night that Riddle has agreed to join Bellator. Luckily for Riddle, there are reports that Bellator doesn't drug test their fighters on a consistent basis, so that could end up being a benefit for him while he tries to get a few more wins under his belt.

11:37 AM ET 05.17 | Keegan Bradley got hot on Thursday morning and fired an opening round 10-under par 60 at The HP Byron Nelson Championship. The score was good for a new course record at TPC Four Seasons Resort which was previously 61 set by Charlie Rymer in 1996, and followed by Justin Leonard in 2001, and Cameron Beckman in 2010. Bradley's opening-round score ties older tournament records of 60 set in 1957 by Sam Snead in the second round at Glen Lakes, and Arron Oberholser who shot a 60 in the second round at Cottonwood Valley. Keegan opened up in the morning session on the back nine, and took advantage of the overnight moisture on the green. He won his first PGA Tour event here in 2011.

06:20 PM ET 04.24 | NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kurt Busch climbed into a ride of a different kind on Tuesday as part of a media event to promote the V8 Supercars Series race May 17-19 at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. As part of the promotion, Busch made a 20-minute run around the road course in a V8 Supercar, while Supercar driver James Courtney took Busch's No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet NASCAR Sprint Cup car for a spin. "It was sure a thrill to get into a car that I have watched and admired for many years during all those Supercar road races," Busch said. "It was also a little weird driving the Supercar and watching my car stretch its legs down the straightaway." Before getting into the Supercar, though, Busch acclimated himself with the track by driving his familiar ride, his Sprint Cup car. "I had a blast driving my car on the road course and even more of a blast in the V8 Supercar," Busch said. "The Circuit of The Americas is an awesome track with a lot of interesting and fun turns." When it came time to climb into the V8 Supercar, Busch had a few things to get used to. Opening a door to get into the car, as opposed to climbing in the window, was the easy part. Busch had to get used to a car with the steering wheel on the right side and the shifter to his left.

The two competed together during the 2012 season and have decided to join forces on the same side of the court beginning with the Monte Carlo Masters after spending the beginning of the season experimenting with other partners. Bhupati is preparing to call it quits on his career that included four Grand Slams and eight mixed doubles Grand Slams, and he couldn't think of a better way to go out than to compete with an old partner.
