Nope, still doesn't feel real. The world is at a standstill.

• 12 NBA teams played games yesterday, but the only thing anybody wanted to do was watch ESPN's re-airing of Kobe Bryant's final game.
• The tennis continued in Melbourne, but a darkness lingered.
• The Sharks game was on at a local pub here in San Francisco, but everyone inside was reading Kobe articles on their phones. Watching videos. Shaking their heads.

Super Bowl Opening Night, traditionally one of the zaniest events of the season, took a more somber tone, as players and coaches grappled with the news.

• Following a moment of silence, fans attending the event at Marlins Park broke out into "Kobe" chants.
• "Not enough words in my vernacular to describe what Kobe means to me," said 49ers CB Richard Sherman.
• "He made me respect football like he respected basketball," added Chiefs DE Frank Clark.

The bottom line: It's remarkable how insignificant the biggest sporting event in America feels right now.

PHILADELPHIA — Fans gathered at Lower Merion High School in Ardmore, Pa. to pay their respects to the school's most famous alumni. "His presence was always here," said one recent graduate. "He would come back and sit on our bench and cheer us on. He always came back. He never left the community."

LOS ANGELES — Murals have popped up all over L.A. as the city mourns. Text from my uncle, who lives there: "The guy who stocks produce at my grocery store had a little transistor radio on his cart — listening to local radio — and crying. Was at LAX earlier and everyone just looked like zombies."

MANILA, Philippines — A memorial wall near the "House of Kobe" gym built in honor of his 2016 visit to the Philippines. "Sport is the vehicle through which we change the world," said Bryant in 2018. "The next generation is going to carry [us] forward."

HARTFORD, Conn. — A jersey honoring Gianna "Gigi" Bryant sat on the UConn bench ahead of the Huskies' exhibition game vs. Breanna Stewart, Sue Bird and Team USA. She'd always dreamed of playing there one day.

Several players and agents have been approached about participating in a new star-driven global golf tour called the Premier Golf League (PGL), according to multiple reports.

Details: The tour would consist of 18 events and feature 48-player fields, 54-hole competitions (so three days with no cut) and $10 million purses. The mysterious entity behind the tour is also reportedly exploring a team concept similar to Formula One racing, plus an identical women's format.

The backdrop: 25 years ago, Greg Norman and Rupert Murdoch attempted to get a similar concept off the ground, but the PGA Tour squashed it like a bug.

• "[W]ho possesses more might and moxie to pull this off than the former world No. 1 and Fox media mogul? That's the only question that matters right now," writes the Golf Channel's Randall Mell.
• "That doesn't mean this isn't worth talking about, but we can't begin to take it seriously until we know who's behind it."

What they're saying: "Those guys have been talking to a few of us for six years,'' said Rory McIlroy at the Farmers Insurance Open this weekend.

• "I'm still quite a traditionalist, so to have that much of an upheaval in the game I don't think is the right step forward. But I think it might be a catalyst for some changes on this tour that can help it grow and move forward."
• "But I love the PGA Tour ... I certainly wouldn't want to lose what's been built in the last 40 or 50 years, tournaments like this, tournaments like Riviera in a couple weeks' time, everything that we have gotten to know and love."

Baylor is No. 1 in the Men's AP poll for a second straight week, bringing a rare bit of stability to the top of the rankings in what has been a wildly unpredictable season.

Oregon moved up to No. 3 in the AP women's poll after beating rival Oregon State twice in a 48-hour span.

• The Big Ten's big four: No. 17 Maryland, No. 18 Iowa, No. 20 Indiana and No. 23 Northwestern are part of a logjam at the top of the Big Ten during one of the league's most competitive seasons in years.

• 🏈 24 years old: All eyes (even Jimmy G's) were on Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs and 49ers faced the media ahead of Sunday's big game when the 24-year-old will become the fifth-youngest QB to ever start a Super Bowl, trailing Dan Marino (lost in 1985), Ben Roethlisberger (won in 2006), David Woodley (lost in 1983) and Jared Goff (lost last year).

• ⚾️ 8 teams: A Nolan Arenado trade is "all but inevitable," argues The Athletic's Jim Bowden (subscription), and "there are approximately eight teams that could make sense as a trade partner for the Rockies." They are: Yankees, Astros, Rangers, Braves, Dodgers, Cardinals, Nationals and Cubs.
• 🏀 1-8,378: The Kings trailed the Timberwolves by 17 points with 2:49 left in the fourth quarter last night and won 133-129 in OT, marking the first time since play-by-play data has been tracked that a team won after trailing by 17 or more in the final three minutes. Teams had previously been 0-8,378.

Two years ago today, Roger Federer beat Marin Čilić to win his record sixth Australian Open title and become the first man to win 20 Grand Slams.

"Last year we were calling this a Federer revival. I don't think it's a revival anymore. It's a whole new chapter — Federer re-writing the rules for what's possible for an aging player. ... You're lucky, folks. You lived in an era in which you can order a burrito on an iPad, and you saw Serena and Roger."
