“Lewis, hi, sorry for what you have needed to drive today,” said Wolff.

“I know that this is undriveable and not what we deserved to score as a result.”

Bayless — known for his hot takes on Fox Sports 1’s Skip and Shannon: Undisputed — said Oladipo not getting any playing time had nothing to do with recovering from injury and everything to do with Butler not wanting to share the floor with him. At the time of Bayless’ remarks, the Heat were leading the Hawks 2-0 in the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs matchup, and now lead 3-1 after Oladipo got his first minutes of action in the series.

“Both games he has not seen the light of play,” Bayless said. “Why is that? Well I was told it’s because Jimmy [Butler] just flat out told Spo [Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra], ‘I don’t want to share the floor with him.'”

Both Oladipo and Butler were clearly not thrilled with Bayless’ comments. As Oladipo finished his presser, Butler said: “Tell them how I much I hate you.” Oladipo then said: “Jimmy hates me, guys.” The two then hugged before Butler started his postgame interview.

The Gypsy King said following the fight that he would honour his promise to his wife Paris to retire.

“I promised my lovely wife, Paris, of 14 years that after the [Deontay] Wilder trilogy fight that would be it, and I meant it,” Fury said.

“I had a war, it was a great trilogy and I meant that, but I got offered to fight at Wembley at home and I believed that I owed it to the fans. I owed it to every person in the United Kingdom to come here and fight at Wembley.

“Now it’s all done, I have to be a man of my word and I think this is it, this might be the final curtain for the Gypsy King and what a way to go out.”

Say what you want, whether you’re a grieving fan or someone who only sees the business side of the game, but losing a Samuel-type player isn’t something you can easily recover from.

Whatever caused the wide receiver market to spiral out of control during this wild offseason, it is what it is, and it will remain so.

Regardless of where the player-organization relationship goes, repairing what has already been done and finalizing a long-term contract is a good place to start.

The safety-net places for two sides based on accumulated UEFA coefficient points are planned in 2024 when the Champions League introduces a new format and expands from 32 to 36 teams.

“If you’re participating in the Champions League, your coefficient gets higher and higher and the shop is more closed,” Hellman said in a video call on Monday. “So I do not believe that should be the right requirement to participate in the European competitions. I would be more open to other leagues and other clubs, and the national qualification is therefore the most important door to be kept open.”
