Why didn't Dylan Carey get drafted?
In short: It's not clear why Carey wasn't drafted.
(Presumably because he's a senior, and thus has little untapped upside, and, since he's a senior, teams will be confident they can sign him cheap without drafting him since he can't go back to school.)
OH MY GOD.

ESPN has an absurdly, needlessly long article about Sean Payton, with a few gems. First, his wife is named Skylene (her parents are Skylar and Darlene). Second, how he tried to motivate his team for a game against the Bills:
"It's going to be an Oxygen Tank Game," he says.
Then it hits him: He wants it to be known as the Oxygen Tank Game.
...
He tells [his assistant] to order 100 or so small oxygen tanks to give to the team prior to the game, with special labels. Pursuits like this, cheesy and earnest, are about more than giving the players an artifact to put in their bookshelves -- more than about " making memories," as Payton says. It's about trying to orchestrate a feeling even before the outcome can genuinely generate it. And he's not done. He tells the video team to pull clips from movies where people suffocate in thin air. A few hours later, a folder hits his computer. He sifts through them, then stops at one. It's from "Everest." At the summit, in swirling wind, a climber is about to die. His wife is called to say a final goodbye. Payton is sold. A few things: he wants head shots of little Broncos pasted on the mountain, with Levi's Stadium in the distance; he wants the dying climber to have Allen's jersey number 17 on his jacket; when they call home, he wants to splice in a clip of Hailee Steinfeld, the actress and Allen's wife, talking on the phone.
Hours later, Payton watches the new clip. He likes it, but adds one more note: he wants "Harder to Breathe" by Maroon 5 to play as it fades to black.

NYT:
In 2020, catchers set up in the one-knee stance on 23 percent of pitches. Otherwise, they relied on a traditional crouch. This season, catchers have placed a knee in the dirt on 96 percent of pitches.
The setup relieves stress on their knees and quads. It places them in a more athletic position.
It does, however, have a drawback
...
Hedges uses a protective cup that displays an image of a rooster atop a colorful ball pit. The model, fittingly, is called Cock & Balls, from the brand Nutshellz. His teammate, catcher Patrick Bailey, uses a cup called the Nutty Buddy.
Seems like there are no numbers about the frequency of groin shots, but the article is shockingly long, going into great detail on the merits of the new stance and new types of padding players are wearing.
The USWNT don’t experience enough hostility, which is why they needed to ‘come to Brazil’

The Chicago Cubs are one step closer to proving that Wrigley View Rooftop is breaking the law by selling access to a rooftop building where fans can watch Cubs games in person without actually paying the Cubs.
...
Judge Coleman concluded the Cubs have an established property right in the product of live Cubs games produced at Wrigley Field. She emphasized a ruling from 1938 in Pittsburgh Athletic Co. v. KQV Broadcasting Co. The case involved a radio station paying “observers” to watch Pirates games from the rooftop of a building adjacent to Forbes Field.
Through those observers, the radio station provided a play-by-play of Pirates home games
(At least from that snippet, seems like the obvious difference is the broadcast)
