Christian Norgaard's time at ***** nal has come to an end after Everton completed the signing of the experienced midfielder, bringing the curtain down on a brief spell in north London just one year after his arrival from Brentford.
When ***** nal signed Norgaard last summer, the move appeared to make plenty of sense. Brentford's captain arrived with extensive Premier League experience and looked an ideal option to provide depth and leadership in midfield.
It did not work out that way.
Mikel Arteta rarely turned to the 32-year-old when ***** nal's biggest matches arrived, preferring instead to rely heavily on Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi throughout the campaign.

Deco just can't seem to quit Julián Álvarez.
Barcelona's sporting director has made the pilgrimage to Madrid to meet with the player's agent. Afterall, without Álvarez making noise, there's little chance of a deal getting done.
On paper, Álvarez looks like a very good fit for Barcelona, and the system that Hansi Flick has built. He presses like a machine, is built for possession based football after years spent with Pep Guardiola, and is a lethal finisher who can put the ball in the net in a multitude of ways.
Álvarez signed for Atletico Madrid two summers ago, at the same time when Flick arrived in Barcelona. It's well known that the Barca boss has never been properly backed by those above him, but can you imagine if he had a center forward like Álvarez to work with from the beginning?
Alas, here we are two years later. Flick has already delivered two La Liga trophies with an aging Robert Lewandowski and an inconsistent Ferran Torres. One is now in Chicago, while the other could be off to Paris in no time.

The Chicago Bears were back at training camp on Tuesday for their sixth practice of the summer, and there was plenty to break down from Day 6, including the performance of quarterback Caleb Williams.
Williams is entering his third season following a breakout sophomore campaign where he set a franchise single-season passing record, led an NFL record seven fourth quarter comebacks (including the postseason) while leading Chicago to an 11-6 record, NFC North ***** le and playoff win. That was all in one season with head coach Ben Johnson. Now, all eyes are on Williams this summer as he continues to develop under Johnson and make a huge leap in Year 3.
We're taking a look at the good, the bad and the noteworthy with Williams from the sixth practice of Bears training camp:
It was a sloppy showing for the offense, but there was some positive from Tuesday's practice. The connection between Williams and tight end Colston Loveland continued to flourish, as Bear Report noted that Loveland continues to be one of Williams' top targets. "They had a nice connection today down the right sideline as Williams threw him a lob pass and Loveland went up and got it over rookie Dillon Thieneman."
Overall, it was a rough showing for the offense. According to Dan Wiederer, this looked like the "sloppiest offensive showing of camp to date. Easily." Wiederer noted that there were a number of struggles, including: "Pre-snap penalties. Misfired passes. Dropped ***** . Rickety screen plays. QB1's feet getting tangled coming out from center." On top of that, quarterback Caleb Williams was intercepted by cornerback Tyrique Stevenson. It appeared to be a miscommunication between Williams and tight end Colston Loveland. Greg Braggs added that the "defense looks a step ahead" and the offense "has looked off more than the other practices." He noted it was timing and energy seemed low, especially with live periods. The offense also fell short during the two-minute drill, where quarterback Caleb Williams and Burden were unable to connect on fourth down in the end zone.

PHOENIX (AP) — Manny Machado had three hits and four RBIs, Randy Vásquez threw six scoreless innings and the San Diego Padres jumped out to a big early lead in a 9-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
The Padres won for the ninth time in 11 games, moving one game behind the D-backs for the third and final National League wild-card playoff spot.
Jackson Merrill had three hits and two RBIs, while Jake Cronenworth also had a three-hit night. Vásquez (7-6) gave up just two hits and walked one while striking out one.
The Padres jumped all over All-Star Eduardo Rodríguez in the first inning with leadoff hitter Fernando Tatis Jr. starting the game with a double to left. Machado followed with an RBI double before Merrill and Xander Bogaerts added run-scoring singles for a 3-0 lead.
San Diego extended its advantage to 6-0 in the second, partly because of Arizona's sloppy defense. Jase Brown reached on a bunt single when there appeared to be confusion on who was covering first base and Ketel Marte's error on a grounder led to a pair of unearned runs.

Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy celebrated another massive milestone.
On Monday, Aug. 3, Levy rang in his 101st birthday.
Young as ever, photos surfaced of Levy on social media from the day prior to his birthday where he was spotted signing autographs for fans at an event in Chicago.
To honor the occasion, current Buffalo head coach Joe Brady took time out of his press conference at 2026 training camp to reflect on how Levy's presence is still found at One Bills Drive.
"He's given me wisdom which is unbelievable," Brady said. "He's just as sharp as it gets."

One of the Seattle Seahawks fan-favorite players may be on the shelf, as fullback Robbie Ouzts wasn't at practice once again.
Possibly more concerning is the verbiage used by head coach Mike Macdonald when he talked about trying to gain more information on Ouzts' "situation."
Making this potentially worse is the fact that Ouzts missed the last two games of 2025 season with a neck injury. There's nothing concretely linking these two things together, but considering the fact that Ouzts was practicing fully and then suddenly missing combined with the fact that his position requires him to repeatedly slam into opposing defenders to open holes for the running game…consider me concerned. Hopefully this will blow over and Ouzts will be back out there pancaking defenders.
In other injury news, running back Jacardia Wright also suffered a leg injury, but there was no update on him from Macdonald.
Wright is another player who was injured and missed most of last season. He's also part of the backfield room with a recovering Zach Charbonnet and no more Kenny McIntosh. There will likely need to be additions here to spread out the preseason carries.

Taysom Hill may be done playing football for New Orleans, but his on-the-field performance and his off-the-field persona have earned him Sainthood among the Who Dats for years to come.
"He's the guy that a lot of our guys can look to as an example of growing in the NFL and finding roles and finding opportunities," said Saints coach Kellen Moore after Hill announced his nine-year run in New Orleans was over. "Everyone, for the last few years, has been chasing to find the next Taysom. But there really is just one Taysom."
That "one Taysom" was going to be Jim Harbaugh's Swiss army knife quarterback at Stanford prior to Hill's two-year church mission to Sydney, Australia. When the 49ers lured Harbaugh away, Hill redirected his post-mission plans to Provo.
BYU figured it had someone special, but it wasn't until Sept. 7, 2013, that the Cougars knew for sure. Facing No. 15 Texas and following a two-hour weather delay, Hill produced one of the single greatest performances in program history.

Generally speaking, when a fighter says they're in the best shape of their lives before a fight, there's an urge to take a big swig of the old giggle water, because there's scarcely been a fighter in world history who wasn't.
Yet when Daniel Rodriguez says he notices he's been working harder than usual, almost as an outside observer to himself with a new lease on reason, you tend to listen. That's because until April, Rodriguez was in a Tijuana jail cell, where he'd spent the last eight months on a marijuana possession rap, far longer than a borderline bogus charge should warrant. He was able to hit some pads and do some "roadwork" in the yard, and even had a heavy bag at his disposal, but there was nary a nutritionist on site, nor were his coaches there to guide him, or a sauna, a ring, or really any of the creature comforts of a training facility.
Since April he's been working like a madman splitting time in Las Vegas and Los Angeles to catch his body up to the task of fighting Uros Medic this Saturday at UFC Belgrade in Serbia, yet it's doubtful Rodriguez is in the best physical shape of his life at 39.
But so what? He has never felt freer than he is right now in Belgrade, walking straight into the wheelhouse of the country's free-swinging ****** assin.
"You know what?" Rodriguez says, "I think I've handled it pretty well, man. I've handled this like a true professional. From the condition that I was in when I was released to where I'm at now and all the preparation and the whole fight camp and everything in between from then till now, the ups and downs, it's been a roller-coaster.

Real Madrid are weighing up a move for Levante striker Carlos Espi in a shock swoop, as per transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano.
Espi was one of the breakout stars in La Liga last season, scoring 11 goals in 25 appearances.
The towering striker demonstrated significant aerial dominance, physical capacity and predatory instincts in the 18-yard box.
Madrid are prepared to let Gonzalo Garcia leave the club and move to the Premier League.
They have been watching Espi closely for a few years. They previously sought to bring him into their academy in 2023.

She was there in 1980 when lightning struck, instantly suspending play, and when it happened a second time in 2024.
She was there in 2016 when fans were sent home because the end zone paint wouldn't dry.
From her seat in Section 3BB, Judy Vollono has seen a lot of football at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game.
On Aug. 6, the Plain Township resident will attend her 57th game to watch the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. She'll be accompanied by her daughter Ann Maddux and grandson, Sam.
Vollono still has the tickets from her first game on Sept. 13, 1969, when the Green Bay Packers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 38-24. The first Hall of Fame Game, which now kicks off the NFL preseason, was played in 1962.

Indianapolis Colts' running back Jonathan Taylor is entering the final year of his current contract. During offseason programs, he said that he would "love to be a Colt for life."
Whether or not a new deal will be reached remains to be seen, but following Wednesday's first training camp practice, Taylor did say that there have "been some good conversations," according to ESPN's Stephen Holder.
Taylor added that he has "faith" that the two sides will be able to reach a new deal.
On Taylor's current deal, he is averaging $14 million per year, which ranks as the seventh-most among running backs. Perhaps of interest to Taylor as he looks for an extension, Devon Achane signed a four-year, $64 million extension this offseason, making him the third-highest-paid back in football.
From a production standpoint, Taylor remains one of the top backs in football, while shouldering a heavy workload out of the backfield. He played in 13 games in 2024 and all 17 games last season. rushing for 1,431 yards and 1,585 yards, respectively, as one of the more productive backs in football each year.

Corey Heim, who has won two NASCAR Cup races as a part-time driver for 23XI Racing in 2026, will not use the No. 67 when he becomes a full-time driver for the team owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin in 2027.
Why? "Because he says (67) is a stupid, goofy number," Hamlin said.
Hamlin said on his "Actions Detrimental" podcast that Heim will switch from the No. 67 to the No. 35 in 2027.
COREY HEIM FINE WITH PART-TIME STATUS: Corey Heim has NASCAR Cup win in part-time race schedule. Why 23XI driver isn't complaining
Hamlin wondered if Heim, 24, who won the NASCAR Indianapolis Brickyard 400 on July 26 and at the Naval Base Coronado in San Diego on June 21, might want to keep the No. 67 for good luck?

NHL trade rumors surrounding Kirill Marchenko intensified last week, but his agent has since poured cold water on reports linking the Columbus Blue Jackets forward to the Montreal Canadiens. The rumors gained traction after reports suggested Columbus was close to completing a blockbuster deal.
RG.org reported that Marchenko was "essentially between two teams" and that trade discussions were progressing. A source close to the winger said, "The parties are now negotiating the terms of the trade."
The speculation grew after an NHL ****** yst posted on X that the Canadiens were working on a complex three-team trade involving Columbus. The ****** yst added, "Montreal obviously has strong interest in Marchenko, but not just him."

Marchenko's agent, Dan Milstein, wasted little time responding. "Go back to your vacation, man the mystery forward is doing more work than your 'sources' right now," Milstein wrote on X, dismissing the report with a playful jab.

In a promotional video posted to social media on Friday, July 24, agent Rich Paul broke out his famous whiteboard featured on the "Game Over" podcast he co-hosts with Max Kellerman and circled a group of names representing the Philadelphia 76ers in red marker.
"It's Philly. Rich, there's a star by [Tyrese] Maxey's name. Was that a breadcrumb I missed?" Kellerman asked. Paul replied, "Maybe you did. Maybe you didn't, Max. But it's Philly."
Yes, Akron native LeBron James announced on July 24 he will sign with the 76ers instead of the other top suitors vying for his services in NBA free agency — the Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. James will join the Sixers on a two-year, $8 million contract, which includes a player option for the 2027-28 season, Paul told ESPN.

When the latest batch of ESPN layoffs was revealed to include Ryan Clark, the reactions were mixed. Yet, a lot of people felt sympathy for the NFL ***** yst after he lost his job at a popular network.
Well, not Nick Bosa.
While it took a while for the San Francisco 49ers' All-Pro edge-rusher to react, it finally arrived a few days later.
Clark spent nearly 12 years on ESPN. That's one year less than his NFL playing career lasted, proving that the Pro Bowl safety turned Super Bowl champion has enjoyed arguably just as stable a career post-retirement as when he was playing in the league.
Many argue that Clark, who has more than 514,500 followers on X and a successful podcast in "The Pivot," will be just fine after the split from ESPN.

The Carolina Panthers opened training camp this week ahead of their NFL preseason Hall of Fame Game against the Arizona Cardinals. And on the first day of training camp practice, the Panthers' defense suffered a brutal blow.
Panthers linebacker Nic Scourton suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee during practice on Thursday. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe delivered a report with the breaking news on ESPN.
Scourton, 21, was selected by the Panthers in the second round (51st overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft. The edge rusher started eight games in his rookie season, and he finished with five sacks, tied for first on Carolina. Pro Football Focus credited Scourton with 34 pressures.
It was expected that Scourton would be a key part of the Carolina defense in 2026, and it was easy to see a potential leap into stardom for the highly talented pass rusher.
Scourton starred at Purdue and had a Big Ten-leading 10 sacks in the 2023 college football season before transferring to Texas A&M, where he had five sacks in 2024.

One of the key investors behind the Cadillac Formula 1 project is linked to a federal investigation involving businesses he controls. Mark Walter, whose initials form part of TWG Global’s name, is **** ociated with companies under investigation by federal prosecutors, with the FBI and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission also involved.
The Cadillac F1 team has not had what one would call a great start to its debut in the premier class of motorsport. As a new team adapting to Formula 1 and the sport’s latest regulations, Cadillac’s 2026 campaign has largely been a learning experience rather than a competitive one.
Cadillac is the only team on the grid that has not scored a point through the first 10 races of the season. The team’s best finish was when Valtteri Bottas finished 13th in the Chinese Grand Prix. However, leaving performance aside, one of its owners, Walter, is now dealing with developments away from F1.
Bloomberg reports that Walter’s investment firm, Guggenheim Partners LLC, as well as insurance companies Delaware Life Insurance Co. and Clear Spring Life and Annuity Co., were served with grand jury subpoenas in February. The filings have only recently become public.
Prosecutors in Manhattan are reportedly examining whether the companies failed to disclose that billions of dollars in private credit investments were tied to Walter’s other business ventures.

After a strong showing at the NBA’s 2026 summer league in Las Vegas, the Houston Rockets announced Wednesday that Isaiah Crawford was re-signed by the team.
A 6-foot-6 forward with shooting potential on offense and considerable versatility on defense, Crawford is now 24 years old.
From the team’s announcement:
Crawford appeared in 14 games as a two-way player for the Rockets in 2025-26, averaging 11.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.0 ******* ists and 1.2 blocks per 36 minutes played. He recorded career highs of 11 points and 6 rebounds in the season finale versus Memphis on April 12.
In 20 games while transferred to the Rockets’ G League affiliate, Rio Grande Valley, Crawford averaged 19.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.1 ******* ists, and 2.1 steals while shooting 51.5% from the floor and 39.2% from 3-point range.

The Detroit Lions have one of the NFL's premier offensive lines, but one of the biggest questions entering training camp sits at right tackle.
With Penei Sewell shifting to left tackle following Taylor Decker's departure, Detroit suddenly has a starting spot up for grabs on the opposite side. It's one of the most important position battles on the roster, and it could have a major impact on the Lions' offense throughout the 2026 season.
Several players will compete for the job, but two names have separated themselves as the favorites.
At the top of the depth chart battle are rookie Blake Miller and veteran Larry Borom.
Miller represents the future.

Lane Kiffin, Pete Golding, Ole Miss and LSU are all major topics at SEC Media Days and neither program nor coach have even taken the stage yet.
Let's take a trip down memory lane and see if we can jog the memory of Mr. Harper just six short month ago. Minutes after the defeat in the CFP semifinals to the Miami Hurricanes, Harper said that Ole Miss was "not going backwards, only going forward." Don't take my word for it, here's the receipt:
So what's forward from a last second defeat in the semifinals? Well that would be, at minimum, an appearance in the CFP national championship.
Tim Tebow, Paul Finebaum and Roman Harper were joined by former standout Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel on the SEC Nation set at media days and Daniels was talking about the sky-high expectations of the Ole Miss fan base because they were 18 seconds away from a natty.
It was at this moment that Harper interjected and said, "They're not winning a natty.. they're not, they're Ole Miss. You'll see, you'll learn."

PHILADELPHIA – For the better part of 90 minutes Tuesday, July 14, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred and MLB Players' ****** ociation interim executive director Bruce Meyer laid out their alternative visions of reality, staking out opposite poles on a salary cap, revenue sharing, and perhaps the color of the sky as the sport grinds toward a Dec. 1 owners' lockout.
Yet there's one subject in which they were in full agreement: If sports gambling and prediction markets are legal, they most certainly should get a piece of it.
Meyer, in his first major press briefing since Tony Clark's February resignation, acknowledged that widespread legalized sports betting has created "an environment where our players are subject to constant threats, harassment. Always has been, but I think the players will probably say it's reached a new low."
Yet in late April, the MLBPA struck a long-term licensing agreement with Hard Rock Bet, which it said integrates "MLB player name, image, and likeness directly into the core of the betting experience across Hard Rock Bet's digital and retail platforms throughout North America."
That would seem to put the union at odds with one of its core principles, protecting player safety and welfare. Yet both league and union have adopted a mindset that could also serve as the ****** les of a '90s album: Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?

The 2026 MLB season has been unkind to starting pitcher for the New York Mets, Freddy Peralata. In his first season in New York, after spending his first eight seasons of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers, Peralata is currently on pace to put forth the worst statistical season of his career, with a career-high 4.66 ERA.
With New York struggling with an overall record of 40-57, and their playoff hopes being slim to none, they could certainly decide to deal Peralata away before the MLB trade deadline on August 3. There have been rumors of that being a possibility. Here are two teams that would make sense for Perlata to get dealt to
From ending the 2025 season with an overall record of 60-101 to now being at the top of the standings in the American League Central Division, the Chicago White Sox have been one of the best stories in the MLB this season. While the White Sox over the past few seasons have been a team trading away ****** ets that do not fit their timeline for future draft capital and young prospects at the trade deadline, they can now flip roles and be the buyers of current talent to help bolster the level of their team. One area they need help with is their pitching department.
The White Sox only have two pitchers with a sub-4.00 ERA. While Peralata has a higher ERA, he is someone who is worth taking a chance on. Just last season, he had the best statistical season of his career. He had a 2.70 ERA.
The Atlanta Braves are also a team that should take a chance on Peralta. They have had some continued struggles from one of their starting pitchers and a couple of injuries as well to players in their starting rotation.

The Arizona Cardinals report to training camp on July 22 and begin the process of preparing for the regular season, forming the roster and determining starting jobs and roles on the team.
Leading up to the start of camp, we will take a look at every player on the offseason roster, their background, their contract, their play in 2025, questions they face and their roster outlook.
Here is offensive lineman Elijah Wilkinson.
This is Wilkinson's 10th NFL season and his second with the Cardinals, although he was not with the Cardinals last season.
Wilkinson played for the Cardinals in 2023, starting nine games at left guard.

ESPN surveyed NFL executives, coaches and scouts this offseason to have them rank their top players at each position group across the league.
Leading up to today, ESPN had revealed rankings at running back, cornerback, edge rusher, defensive tackle, tight end, offensive tackle, interior offensive linemen and quarterback (linebacker, wide receiver and safety rankings are coming soon). So far, the Denver Broncos have had five players rank in the top 10 at their respective positions: CB Pat Surtain (No. 1), OLB Nik Bonitto (No. 10), DL Zach Allen (No. 8), OT Garett Bolles (No. 10) and OG Quinn Meinerz (No. 4).
When ESPN surveyed the NFL on top quarterbacks, 20 players received votes. The top 10 were ranked, followed by seven honorable mentions. ESPN then listed three QBs who also received votes: Bo Nix, Daniel Jones and C.J. Stroud.
The list of honorable mentions above Nix included Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love, Jayden Daniels and Sam Darnold. The list of ranked QBs above Nix included Caleb Williams (No. 10) and Drake Maye (No. 8).
Now entering his third season in the NFL, Nix will look to climb the rankings ahead of 2027.

The new 2027 rankings were released Monday and there were a lot of changes after all the big summer events. Here's the latest intel and some thoughts on the top players in California heading through July:
When Wright was committed to Georgia, a lot of the talk around him was that he was going to end up flipping but that Oregon was the biggest threat.
But there were people who kept saying Miami was the team to beat – although they were in the minority – and the Ducks seemed confident that they'd end up landing him in the end.
The new No. 1 cornerback in the Rivals rankings, the Long Beach Poly standout said he loved everything about Miami, how it got to the national championship last season, how coach Will Harris and Terry Jefferson interacted with him and a promise from coach Mario Cristobal that he'd have a big opportunity to start from Day 1.
From the early stages of his recruitment, USC was going to be tough to beat for the San Diego Cathedral Catholic two-way standout who idolized Reggie Bush and others from his hometown growing up.

We are 63 days away from the Kansas City Chiefs‘ season-opening game against the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” in Week 1.
The No. 63 jersey is one of the 10 retired numbers in franchise history, in honor of linebacker Willie Lanier, who was a leader on the Chiefs’ defense for the early years, including a shutdown performance against the Minnesota Vikings in the 23-7 Super Bowl IV victory. From 1967 to 1977, Lanier earned eight Pro Bowl selections and three first-team All-Pro selections, building a resume worthy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He is immortalized in the Chiefs’ Ring of Honor, with the No. 63 forever tied with him, but there is another all-time No. 63 in team history:
After being selected with the fifth pick in the 1984 NFL Draft from the University of Pittsburgh, Maas hit the ground running in Kansas City by winning AP Defensive Rookie of the Year. He would also appear in two Pro Bowls as a Chiefs representative, but the team was unable to find relevance until after his prime seasons.
He forced 11 fumbles during his time in Kansas City, one of the many factors in his induction into the Chiefs’ Hall of Fame. He is still involved in the local community.

Ryan Blaney won the NASCAR Atlanta race in overtime on July 12.

After a break, VikingsTerritory has reopened the mailbag, answering questions from the masses and posting them weekly in a single article. The time feels appropriate, with training camp getting underway in about 2.5 weeks.
We picked the main questions from folks' submissions, and below are our answers.
Question: Do you think the Vikings will reach the playoffs this year?
Answer: Yes.
The only scenario preventing the Vikings from a somewhat obvious playoff push — the roster is good enough for it — is the level of competition in the NFC North. Throughout the division's history, there's always at least one "pushover" team — usually the Detroit Lions or Chicago Bears. Sometimes even the Vikings.
