05:34 PM ET 05.22 | Jimmy Haslam wanted to get something off his chest. The newest member of the most powerful fraternity in sports, unanimously approved in October as Cleveland Browns owner, came to the NFL meetings Tuesday with the sticky predicament of a federal investigation hanging over his family-owned business. When it became public in mid-April -- with FBI and IRS agents raiding the Knoxville-based headquarters of Pilot Flying J pursuing allegations of fraud, conspiracy and other misdeeds -- it hit the image-conscious NFL like a ton of bricks. So, with league owners gathered at an airport hotel, the CEO of Pilot Flying J felt obliged to offer some explanation to his new business partners. And as he stood before them, he apologized, too, for any damage done to the NFL brand.

07:14 AM ET 05.22 | Phillies star Cliff Lee is zooming out a bit, putting his future in a larger context. [Lee] said he "hopes" the Phillies turn it around, and it wouldn't do him any good to think about the alternative. But if the alternative does come to pass, and he does go on the trading block, it sounds like Lee can deal with it. There's a list of only nine teams to which Lee can be traded without his consent, but he's been traded before and it doesn't sound like it's something that would faze him -- or, under the right circumstances, especially bother him. "I definitely want to win. I want to be on a winning team," Lee said when asked about the possibility of being traded before the Phillies were to play the Marlins on Tuesday night.

02:53 PM ET 05.22 | USA Basketball has its head coach for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and it's a familiar face. Duke Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski will return to his old role with Team USA for the next Olympic cycle, hopefully leading the Americans to a third consecutive gold medal in Rio De Janeiro roughly three years from now. Coach K announced his plans to leave the program this winter following the team's gold-medal victory in Beijing last summer, but apparently became convinced over time to return for another go. Since being hired by Team USA chairman Bryan Colangelo in 2005, Krzyzewski has posted a 62-1 record as head coach of the team, returning the Americans to the top of the international basketball world following a bronze-medal finish at the 2004 Olympics in Athens. Coach K's work with Team USA begins again this summer as the team prepares for the 2014 FIFA Basketball World Cup, which will be held in Spain.

02:24 PM ET 05.22 | Winnipeg Jets forward Alexander Burmistrov will not re-sing with the team, according to a report by Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press. Lawless cites two sources who say Burmistrov is looking to be traded. It is believed that he has had a contentious relationship with head coach Claude Noel, which culminated in a four-game span in March when Burmistrov was a healthy scratch. Lawless previously reported that Winnipeg attempted to trade Burmistrov at the trade deadline. The club engaged in talks with the Buffalo Sabres, New York Islanders and Ottawa Senators. Burmistrov will become a restricted free agent this July. His agent only commented that he is not looking to play in the KHL.

12:07 PM ET 05.22 | Despite a gruesome toe injury at UFC 159, Jon Jones still hopes to fight two more times in 2013. "I'll just tell you this, I wouldn't be surprised if Jon fights two more times this year. That's very aggressive and I know that's crazy, but it's something that he discussed with me and we talked about it. I told Superman to relax a little bit, you're injured right now, but he's got an aggressive timeline in his head. Certain goals and accomplishments that he wants and we're looking to get that record," Jones manager Malki Kawa said.

05:07 PM ET 05.20 | Jennifer Johnson was able to pick up her first LPGA victory yesterday. Other than bogeys on the first two holes in the first two days, she played very steady golf. Jennifer Johnson came out of nowhere on Sunday, and picked up her first win on the tour. She fired a seven-under par 65 in the final round, and picked up a much-needed $180,000 for her effort. She had a problem with the par-four fifth hole during the weekend, but back-to-back 65s will most generally win you a golf tournament.

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.
