The Washington Commanders began the week with some surprising coaching news; they were moving on from first-year tight ends coach Ben Steele. Steele was arrested last month on a DWI charge and had initially been placed on leave.
It didn't take long to realize who'd replace Steele. Legendary former NFL wide receiver Wes Welker, a five-time Pro Bowl selection as a player, was already on Washington's staff as an offensive ****** istant. Before arriving in Washington, Welker served as the wide receivers coach for the 49ers and Dolphins, and worked with the tight ends during minicamp last month while Steele was on leave.
On Tuesday, one day before the Commanders begin training camp, head coach Dan Quinn confirmed the move.
"Wes Welker will be working with the tight ends, and that's how we'll proceed forward," Quinn said.
Will there be an official ****** le change for Welker?

Michigan Wolverines head coach Kyle Whittingham sees only one way for college football to sustain itself as NIL grows every year. The rise in NIL has fueled conference realignment rumors as everyone seeks individual interests over conference priorities.
In his conversation with ESPN's Rich Eisen on Monday, Whittingham suggested converting college football into a minor league addition to the NFL. This was the Wolverines head coach's response when asked how he would improve the current state of college football, where money disparity has become a major issue:
"I think it's got to be a NFL minor league model where we have a salary cap and the players are employees," Whittingham said. "I think, as distasteful as some of that is, I don't think there's any other way that's better than that. And, right now, it's out of control. We're going to have probably a dozen teams in the next recruiting cycle with $50 million rosters."
With the Big Ten and SEC hosting some of the best teams in college football over the past decade, Whittingham was fueling a "super conference" as an alternative to the current system.
"And there's such a disparity between the haves and the have-nots, I think the only way to get that evened out and level the playing field is to go ahead and pattern it after a minor league NFL model or 'super league' if you will. You'll probably see 48-60 teams survive the cut and be on the right side of the line in the sand and proceed forward," the head coach continued.

Sport is littered with moments when the baton is passed from one generation for the other.
Steffi Graf toppled Martina Navratilova to win her first Grand Slam ****** le on the clay of Paris in 1987 and Jason Kenny beat Chris Hoy to take the coveted sprint spot for Team GB at London 2012.
It is less than a week since Lamine Yamal's Spain beat Lionel Messi's Argentina in another similar moment.

The renowned champion has to hold off a rival and time itself.

Paralympic medallist Daphne Schrager insists she has "never cheated" after being given a two-year ban following an "unintentional" positive test for a banned substance.
Schrager, who won a silver medal at Paris 2024, tested positive for the banned substance Ligandrol, which selectively builds muscle and bone mass.
However, the ban has been backdated to start when she was initially suspended on 2 June 2025.
It will end on 1 June 2027, meaning Schrager could still compete at the 2028 Paralympic Games in Los Angeles. However, she has been left out of the England squad for the Commonwealth Games, currently taking place in Glasgow.
The substance was found after the 25-year-old completed an out-of-competition test last year.

Luke Littler's World Matchplay **** le defence continued with a straightforward 16-7 quarter-final win over Josh Rock in Blackpool.
Rock initially kept pace with the world number one as the players traded breaks to reach 5-5.
But after 19-year-old Littler reeled off five legs in a row, there proved to be no way back for Rock as the defending champion, in dazzling form, cruised into the semi-finals.
After throwing 17 180s with a scoring average of 109.57, Littler said: "At the minute, everything's going to plan."
The teenager added: "I feel good. I can afford to miss a few doubles because the scoring's there.

The Detroit Red Wings have been rejected by one of their few reliable scorers, taking a hit to their 2026-27 roster.
Patrick Kane rejected the Wings' attempts to re-sign him for a third consecutive summer and instead entered free agency, where the 37-year-old found an appealing offer from the Chicago Blackhawks. Kane is going back to where his career began with a two-year deal.
Kane sounded like there was a chance he would stay when the season ended, but that was before news emerged that Dylan Larkin - who shares an agent, Pat Brisson, with Kane, had requested a trade.
A chaotic Red Wings summer continued July 15 with the news general manager Steve Yzerman would be moving to an advisor role.
Kane had 16 goals and 41 ******* ists in 67 games in 2025-26. Even in the twilight of his career, Kane proved he's still got it. Post-Olympics, as many skaters on the Wings faltered, Kane was their second-leading scorer with 25 points in 24 games (trailing only Alex DeBrincat's 28 points).

Former Texas A&M wide receiver Demond Demas has found his new home, committing to the Virginia State Trojans. Demas signed with Texas A&M in 2020 as a five-star prospect.
Demas redshirted in 2020, playing in four games. He cracked the rotation in 2021, playing in nine games and making six starts before an injury ended his season. He finished the season with 15 catches for 235 yards and one touchdown. He had the best game of his career against New Mexico, catching two passes for 100 yards and a touchdown.
That was his last season with Texas A&M, as multiple off-field incidents caused him to sit out the 2022 season and eventually enter the transfer portal. He wound up spending the 2023 season at Garden City Community College, where he played in eight games and did not record a statistic.
He did not play during the 2024 or 2025 seasons before committing to Virginia State ahead of the 2026 season. The Trojans went 6-4 last season, going 4-3 in conference games. They averaged 27.5 points per game and 265.0 receiving yards per game.

Reports in Italy claim that Tottenham defender Djed Spence would be more expensive than Anan Khalaili for Inter, but the Nerazzurri are still willing to open talks with Spurs.
Inter are looking for a replacement for Denzel Dumfries, who has joined Real Madrid after the Merengues agreed to match his €20m release clause.
Inter's primary target, Marco Palestra, joined Chelsea instead, while Khalaili failed his medical tests this week, leaving the Serie A ******* le holders still in need of a new right wing-back.
Gazzetta, Sky Sport Italia and Corriere dello Sport claim that Spence is quickly becoming Inter's favourite target, although the Nerazzurri are still ******* sing and have a long shortlist, which includes Strasbourg's Guela Doué, among others.

Through his first two NBA Summer League games, former UNC basketball star Caleb Wilson is putting the league on notice.
In his July 10 debut, Caleb Wilson scored a record 35 points. On Monday night, Wilson led all players with 19 points and five blocks.
Wilson's play is also drawing the attention of prominent sports journalists. In a Tuesday morning episode of ESPN's Get Up, ******* yst Seth Greenberg and ESPN NBA Senior Writer Vince Goodwill delivered massive praise for the former Tar Heel.
“If you look at upside, someone’s potential, not right now but two three years from now, he has the greatest upside of all these rookies," Greenberg said.
Wilson, the fourth overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, already faced off against third overall pick Cameron Boozer back on July 10, out-dueling him in the Chicago Bulls' 97-96 loss to the Memphis Grizzles. Wilson played against the Utah Jazz Monday night, but second overall pick Darryn Peterson didn't play.

FAYETTEVILLE — Another big man might be joining Arkansas basketball for the upcoming season.
Caleb Ourigou committed to the Razorbacks on Tuesday, July 14. The 6-foot-10 New York native who played his most recent season in the Overtime Elite League is a four-star prospect in the 2027 class, but John Calipari and his staff have been pursuing a reclassification from Ourigou. Arkansas hopes he will become the latest addition to a star-studded recruiting haul in 2026.
Ourigou took official visits to Kentucky, UConn, BYU and Arkansas. According to the 247Sports Composite, he was the No. 55 ranked player overall and the No. 8 center among 2027 prospects.
If he reclassifies, Ourigou will be the sixth freshman on the Hogs' 2026-27 roster. He would join other five-star recruits Jordan Smith Jr., Miikka Muurinen, JJ Andrews and Abdou Toure.
Arkansas failed to sign a defensive-minded rim protector out of the transfer portal or in its initial high school recruiting class. Calipari will hope Ourigou can fill that void.

The Philadelphia Phillies made a change at manager earlier in the campaign and it worked out.
Philadelphia moved on from former manager Rob Thomson and turned the reins over to Don Mattingly, who has done nothing short of impress. Sure, there have been rumors out there left and right about the possibility of bringing Alex Cora in. The Phillies even offered Cora the job after firing Thomson. But it didn't work out then and Mattingly has impressed since.
The Phillies are 54-43 on the season and have pulled themselves out of the mud and now are just two games behind the Atlanta Braves in the National League East standings. It's been a dramatic turnaround, to say the least.
While some have made it seem like Cora coming to town is inevitable, USA Today's Bob Nightengale noted that Mattingly would "love" to stick around, if the Phillies are interested.

England's young stars Henry Pollock and Noah Caluori are targeting starting for their country after scoring tries in Saturday's 73-8 thrashing of Fiji.
Pollock, 21, claimed a hat-trick after being introduced as a 48th-minute replacement at Hill ****** inson Stadium, while 19-year-old Caluori, making his debut off the bench, set up a score for Henry Slade before diving over himself.
"A big thing for me at the minute is wanting to get that starting shirt," said Pollock, who has started only once in 12 Test appearances for England.
"Steve [Borthwick] said to me before the Fiji game to just go out there and be myself. I hope I did that and hope he saw enough in me."
Pollock acknowledged that England's strength in depth is "crazy good" with Ollie Chessum, Tom Curry, Guy Pepper and Ben Earl also vying for position in the back row.

Asllani's release clause is reportedly set at just under €30 million.
According to Kicker, Barcelona made contact over a possible move for Asllani back in March, but their interest has yet to develop into anything concrete.

We are diving into some fantasy football content this offseason as we look to bring in all sorts of football fans to Bucs Wire. While offensive players often dominate fantasy football discussions, IDP leagues continue to grow in popularity, offering another way for fans to enjoy the game.
We will start with some rookie profiles and how they fit into the landscape of the teams that drafted them. Next up is New Orleans Saints cornerback TJ Hall.
Hall quietly developed into one of the Big Ten's most dependable defensive backs during his career at Iowa. After battling through early adversity and injuries, he finished his collegiate career with Third-Team All-Big Ten honors while establishing himself as one of the nation's best run-defending cornerbacks. His physicality, football intelligence, and willingness to tackle ultimately earned him a seventh-round selection by the Saints, where he'll now look to carve out a role in a veteran secondary.

Atalanta midfielder Ederson was on the verge of joining Manchester United earlier this summer, but the move collapsed at the 11th hour. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Brazilian midfielder is now close to penning a new contract at the New Balance Arena.
The stage looked set for Ederson's transfer to Old Trafford, with Atalanta and Man Utd agreeing on a €45 million fee. Ederson even underwent medicals while on World Cup duty with Brazil after Carlo Ancelotti handed him an unexpected call-up in the wake of Wesley Franca's injury.
However, the Red Devils have pulled the plug on the deal. Instead of signing a multi-year contract with the 20-time English champions, Ederson is now heading back to Bergamo, where he's expected to pen a contract extension. His current deal runs until 2027, with Atalanta keen to ward off any future interest from Europe's elite clubs.
Atalanta were only reluctantly ready to offload Ederson to Man Utd. Only last summer, La Dea turned down Inter's repeated advances, earmarking the 27-year-old as a key cog in the club's long-term project.
Following an injury-hit start to the season, Ederson re-established himself as one of Raffaele Palladino's standout performers. Indeed, he made 30 appearances in Serie A, adding nine more in the Champions League.

Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables received national recognition on Friday when he was named to the Dodd Trophy preseason watch list ahead of the 2026 season. The university announced that Venables is among the coaches being considered for one of college football's most respected coaching honors.
The award is named in honor of legendary Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets head coach Bobby Dodd. Established in 1976, the award recognizes an FBS coach whose program embodies three core principles: scholarship, leadership and integrity. The award goes beyond on-field success, recognizing coaches who prioritize academic achievement, community involvement and developing players beyond football.
Past winners include notable coaches such as Indiana Hoosiers' Curt Cignetti, Notre Dame Fighting Irish's Marcus Freeman, Alabama Crimson Tide's Nick Saban and Kansas State Wildcats' Bill Snyder. The only time an Oklahoma head coach has won the award was in 2003, when Bob Stoops received the honor.
Everything the Dodd Trophy recognizes is exactly how Venables has wanted to develop his teams. Venables has consistently emphasized that success is measured not only by wins and losses but also by the development of his players as people.
That's a big reason he started the SOUL Mission when he took over. Venables has spent the last four seasons rebuilding Oklahoma's culture. While the results on the field will ultimately determine his candidacy, his commitment to leadership, academics and player development makes him a natural fit for what the Dodd Trophy represents. If Oklahoma competes for championships in 2026, Venables could add another major honor to his growing résumé.

The Addicks announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.
The 24-year-old has spent the last two seasons with Charlton Athletic. She joined the club in summer 2024 after leaving Blackburn Rovers. Bradley made 53 appearances for The Addicks in all competitions in which she scored 13 goals. She was a promotion-winner with the club last season. The midfielder played the full game as Charlton Athletic defeated Leicester City on penalties in the end of season play-off at The Valley.
After Bradley's Charlton Athletic departure was confirmed, head coach Karen Hills said "I'd like to wish Katie Bradley all the very best. She has been instrumental over the past couple of seasons and has played a huge part in the club's success. Her impact has been unbelievable this season and helped Charlton Women secure promotion.
"For me, Katie is a player who has set fantastic standards in training and on the pitch, played an integral role in our team, and I wish her all the best in her new adventure."
Bradley is the sixth player to leave Charlton Athletic this summer. The club have been in negotiations with several other players over their futures at The Valley.

A familiar face is returning to Washington via a convoluted path.
Former All-Star Khris Middleton is re-joining the Wizards from the Dallas Mavericks via a six-team sign-and-trade deal, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports.
Per the report, Middleton agreed to a three-year, $17.6 million contract that facilitated the deal. The Clippers, Pistons, Bucks and Grizzlies are also involved in the deal that will send D'Angelo Russell, a future second-round pick and a future second-round pick swap from Washington to Memphis, according to the report.
The latest part of the deal will facilitate previously agreed-upon trades that sent Isaiah Stewart to the Grizzlies, John Collins, Gary Harris and Taurean Prince to the Pistons, Santi Aldama to the Mavericks and Caris LeVert to the Bucks, according to the report. It’s not clear what the Clippers, who sent Collins to the Pistons via a sign-and-trade, get out of the deal.
Middleton, 34, was a three-time All-Star and key player for the 2020-21 Bucks that won the NBA championship behind Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks traded Middleton to the Wizards ahead of the 2025 trade deadline.

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark wanted to talk Tuesday about the league's upcoming season, not the Brendan Sorsby gambling saga at Texas Tech that led to a lot of legal wrangling and a since-dismissed court order that had sent shockwaves through college sports.
Even though that was the first thing Yormark was asked about after his opening remarks at Big 12 football media days.
“I appreciate the question. I appreciate other questions that are probably going to come forth today. Today is not the time to address that issue,” Yormark answered. "Today is about celebrating the upcoming football season and celebrating our 16 schools.”
Yormark later spoke about the conference “moving ahead as 16 strong.”
That would include Texas Tech, which the league and its other 15 members were discussing potentially punishing if Sorsby had indeed played this fall for the Red Raiders after the quarterback transferred from Cincinnati, another Big 12 school where he played the past two seasons.

The Ukrainian striker isn't part of Gian Piero Gasperini's coaching plan, although he will likely attend the training camp scheduled for July 13th at Trigoria.
The Giallorossi, however, intend to capitalize on the former Girona player's sale, allowing them to invest in Malen as his replacement. Genoa has made an offer for Dovbyk but has requested the player on loan, a deal that can't meet Roma's financial needs.
Daniele De Rossi has made moves to bring Artem Dovbyk to Genoa. As Corriere dello Sport reports, the former Roma coach spoke directly with the player to understand the terms of the deal, but the club has put a damper on the deal.
The Giallorossi are unwilling to accept a loan deal that would also require them to contribute to the player's wages. A different deal is being worked on at Trigoria that could guarantee a financial return for the club.

The governing body reviewed the case after US President Donald Trump reportedly urged FIFA President Gianni Infantino to reconsider the punishment.
Belgium’s football federation insists it has yet to receive any official explanation outlining why Balogun’s ban was suspended.
According to the RBFA, its repeated requests for the reasoning behind FIFA’s decision have gone unanswered, leaving the organisation with serious concerns ahead of Monday’s knockout encounter.

While Enzo Maresca and Pep Guardiola share similar footballing philosophies, life will be different at Manchester City with Maresca as the manager. One such difference between the pair is the size of the squad that each manager wants to operate with. Pep Guardiola preferred to work with a smaller squad to maintain performance and team harmony. Sam Lee has reported for The Athletic that Maresca would prefer to work with a bigger squad than Guardiola.
With that in mind, could Enzo Maresca’s demands hand several players a lifeline to resurrect their Manchester City careers? Perhaps it could depending on what role and position Maresca wants them to play.
Looking at the Manchester City squad, there are four players who could earn a lifeline of sorts from Enzo Maresca. Those four are Tijjani Reijnders, Nico Gonzalez, Rico Lewis, and James Trafford. There is a case for each to play a more prominent role under Maresca.
In the case of Nico Gonzalez, there is a vacancy in midfield with Bernardo Silva having left the club. Yes, City have signed Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. They also remain in the market for another midfielder. Also, Rodri is set to have a delayed start to next season. That could be Nico’s lifeline if City do not sign another midfielder. The other factor is that Nico Gonzalez will get the pre season to impress Maresca unless he secures a summer transfer.
Tijjani Reijnders and Rico Lewis could also potentially fight for a role in Manchester City’s midfield. Reijnders may be a player that Maresca could use. Reijnders’ ability to score goals from midfield could be an attribute that Maresca values. However, the Dutch international would have to fight Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki for minutes you would ****** ume. Rico Lewis has always looked to be a midfielder rather than a right-back. Could he play in midfield under Maresca? Perhaps he could but his size in the physical Premier League counts against him.

Though the United States men's national team has stayed cool in the run-up to Monday's matchup against Belgium, the players know that they're on the verge of something big. After earning their first knockout win in 24 years on Wednesday, the USMNT is a win away from matching its best modern World Cup finish with a trip to the quarterfinals.
It's a moment midfielder Tyler Adams said the team is fully embracing.
"You need to embrace the moment, that's for sure," Adams told reporters on Friday. "It was nice to get a little bit of a taste of what it feels like to play with something a little bit more on the line in the last game. I think that's good preparation."
"I think advancing, [it] doesn't matter if it's signature or not. I don't really care," Adams said. "I think advancing and taking this thing as far as we can is the most important thing. I think we have a good opportunity here to do so."
The goalscorers and goalkeepers usually command the spotlight. But some of the best players on the field are the ones who do their job without any fanfare.
