March 10th, 2022 was highlighted by the MLB & MLBPA agreeing to a new CBA that effectively ended the 99-day lockout with Opening Day set for April 7th, 2022. The Chargers made a major splash by acquiring 4x All-Pro EDGE Khalil Mack from Chicago after an injury-riddled season. Only two NBA games took place but they were massive ones as the Nets blew out the Sixers in Philly for their first loss with Harden (5-1) while the reigning MVP came up short against Golden State. NFL cap casualties included Trey Flowers, Landon Collins, & Rodger Saffold.
