06:02 PM ET 05.23 | Philadelphia Eagles tight end James Casey will undergo arthroscopic surgery to clean out loose cartilage his right knee and will be out of action for the rest of the spring, a team spokesman confirmed to USA TODAY Sports. The spokesman said Casey should be ready to go by the start of training camp. The Eagles signed tight end Will Shaw this week, surely in part to help take some reps in Casey's absence. Shaw's addition is why the team waived running back Miguel Maysonet, who was claimed by the Cleveland Browns. There was speculation cutting Maysonet, who received a $10,000 signing bonus, was a sign of a rift between general manager Howie Roseman and coach Chip Kelly. However, a person informed of the team's thinking said Casey's surgery meant the Eagles needed a roster spot for Shaw.

02:24 PM ET 05.23 | Electronic Arts is currently involved with the O'Bannon lawsuit against the NCAA for using players likenesses without compensation. Their defense for their NCAA Football video game series is that they never used a player by name, but that argument took a hit when it was discovered that EA used Tim Tebow by name in a formation package that was exclusive to the Florida Gators' playbook. One of the pillars of the NCAA is amateurism, which would prohibit athletes from being compensated based solely on their status as an athlete. However, the NCAA itself and its partners don't seem to have any issues doing just that themselves.

06:42 PM ET 05.23 | Lionel Hollins believes the Memphis Grizzlies' offense needs a boost, so why not go to one of the smartest post players in the NBA? The Grizzlies head coach said on Thursday that big man Marc Gasol needs to look for his own shot more, which either didn't get across to Gasol because of translation or otherwise. For what it's worth, Gasol has taken 28 shots in two games against the San Antonio Spurs, but Memphis finds itself down 0-2 in the series. "I'm not the kind of player to look for his own shot," Gasol said at practice Thursday. "Look for his shot? I don't understand what that means. Be more aggressive, keep attacking the paint and go to the post more? Sure. But just taking shots? That doesn't sound right."

03:17 PM ET 05.23 | The Ottawa Senators were trashed by the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference showdown on Wednesday despite hanging with the Pens for two periods of hockey. After the game, Senators head coach Paul MacLean spoke with reporters for roughly 13 seconds about his team's play in Game 4 and his wide-eyed look was proof the beating still hadn't fully sunk in yet. Perhaps the most surprising part of the post-game press conference was how passive MacLean was despite just having the Penguins knock them down and then stomp all over them in front of an Ottawa friendly crowd. Most coaches would go ballistic after such a loss and many have for losses that haven't even taken place in as meaningful a spot as this loss. Ottawa's facing elimination after the 7-3 loss and people around the club won't be as passive as MacLean if the season ends before a sixth and seventh game is reached.

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.
