Claude Jennings Jr., Lawrence Brooks and Vernon Brown, the co-hosts of the Golf DMV podcast, have a unique relationship with the very sport they cover.
"We don't get really golf nerdy about things," Jennings Jr. said. "It's literally just the fun we have, the love we have for the game, the hate we have for the game at times. 'I'm tired of playing golf. I don't want to do this anymore.' But then we get up, [and] there's just the pure fun that we have."
Once per week, Jennings Jr., an audio engineer from Silver Spring; Brooks, a retired business owner from Damascus; and Brown, a former Air Force veteran and current defense contractor from Upper Marlboro, discuss in-person or online results from the men's and women's professional tours, interview general managers and teaching pros from area golf courses, and provide reviews of courses' upkeep, food and beverage menus and customer service.
On a recent episode, the trio interviewed Dave Mattes, general manager of the Links at Challedon in Mount Airy. A discussion on the links-style course evolved into an on-air taste test of the clubhouse's crabcakes, chicken wings and fries — much to Mattes' delight.
"We focused a lot on the menu, which is great because that was kind of what we wanted to promote," he said. "We of course want people to come to the golf course and play the golf course, but we think that the thing that makes us relatively unique is a really good restaurant and a nice event facility in a place where people can come. And so there were multiple reasons for us to want to do this other than people getting to know our golf course."

The big news on Vinicius Junior on Monday morning is that the winger has returned to Real Madrid's training ground following his post-World Cup break. The player's future remains unresolved, with contract talks expected soon.
Jose Felix Diaz reports for AS that Mikel Arteta has conveyed to Vinicius how much he could contribute at **** nal, how important he'd be to the London club, and that they could fight for every major trophy together.
Arteta has made it clear **** nal's project would revolve around Vinicius, something which isn't the case in Madrid. If the player decides to leave, he could be worth around €150m (£128.5m) in transfer fees.

Caitlin Clark takes blame for costly Fever problem in loss to Lynx originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Caitlin Clark did not attempt to hide from the Indiana Fever's defensive problems after Sunday's 108-100 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. Indiana entered the matchup riding a four-game winning streak but struggled to contain Minnesota from the opening tip. The Lynx scored 64 points in the first half, shot 57 percent from the field and pulled away with an 8-2 run late in the fourth quarter.
Clark finished with 19 points and 10 ****** ists, while Kelsey Mitchell carried the scoring load with a game-high 37 points. However, the Fever's offensive production was not enough to overcome their trouble getting stops and finishing defensive possessions. After the game, Clark offered a blunt ****** sment of her own performance.
Clark acknowledged that she was frequently a step behind Minnesota's guards and did not do enough on the defensive glass.
"I think my player got at least four tonight," Clark said of the Lynx's offensive rebounds. "So I got to be better in that area, and I can for sure."

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles' increased use of under-center formations does not mean they are abandoning the run-pass option concepts that have helped Jalen Hurts throughout his career. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion believes both approaches can remain part of the offense, with their usage determined by matchups, game situations and what opposing defenses present each week.
"I think there's definitely room for both," Mannion said. "A lot of it is just dependent on week by week or situationally."
Philadelphia displayed several under-center play-action looks during the opening week of training camp. Those formations could help create varied rushing angles for Saquon Barkley while giving Hurts opportunities to attack defenses with play action. Operating under center can also make Philadelphia's intentions less obvious. The Eagles can run the football, use conventional play-action or build movement passes from similar formations. That forces linebackers and safeties to process more information after the snap.
Hurts has traditionally done some of his best work from the shotgun, where his ability to read defenders powers Philadelphia's zone-read and RPO packages. Mannion does not view adding under-center concepts as an either-or decision. Instead, the Eagles want enough variety to select the approach that best attacks each opponent. Some defenses may be vulnerable to play-action from under center. Others may struggle to account for Hurts as an additional runner from shotgun formations.
"There's a lot of different things that come up throughout the game from one week to the next, things you're seeing from the defense," Mannion said. "To have all those different elements in your back pocket, I think there's room for many different things."

Divers gathered in Kosovo on Sunday for the annual Fshajt Bridge diving competition, one of the country's longest-running sporting and cultural events.
Fifteen competitors jumped from the 22-meter-high bridge near Gjakova, aiming to impress judges with their technique as they plunged into the river below.
The event, known as Ura e Fshejte, was first held in 1954 but was suspended during the 1998–1999 Kosovo war after the bridge was damaged.
It returned in 2014 and continues to draw participants and spectators from across the region.

The Oklahoma Sooners have a total of seven Heisman Trophy winners in the program's storied history. Running backs Billy Vessels (1952), Steve Owens (1969), and Billy Sims (1978) took home the coveted award in the 20th century, while quarterbacks Jason White (2003), Sam Bradford (2008), Baker Mayfield (2017), and Kyler Murray (2018) captured the trophy in the 21st century.
However, the last time OU had a player finish the season as a Heisman finalist came in 2019. That means Oklahoma has yet to have a Heisman finalist in the Brent Venables era.
One ESPN **** yst thinks that could all change this season. Jordan Rodgers highlighted his top five Heisman Trophy candidates coming into the season, and he placed OU starting quarterback John Mateer at No. 5 on his list. Mateer finished behind Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss, Texas QB Arch Manning, Indiana QB Josh Hoover, and Ohio State QB Julian Sayin.
"He's gonna be 100% healthy," Rodgers said. "When he is, he's one of the more dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks in the country ... John Mateer's gonna put up massive numbers."
Of course, Mateer was the Heisman Trophy favorite through the first month of the season last year, but his broken hand derailed that train. His play dropped off after having surgery, and he couldn't place the ball the same way he had in September.

Bears coach Ben Johnson says wide receiver Luther Burden is poised to build off his promising rookie season in 2025 and become one of the best receivers in the NFL. Maybe the very best.
Asked on Fox 32 in Chicago about saying Burden is destined to be one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, Johnson says he recognizes that Burden is among an elite group of players who are special in the way they compete.
"They kind of flip a switch when they go on the field and they feel like they're invincible and they're the best players out there," Johnson said.
Johnson was the Dolphins' wide receivers coach when Jarvis Landry was one of the NFL's best receivers in Miami, and more recently coached Amon-Ra St. Brown with the Lions. Johnson said both of those players are like Burden in the way they compete on every single down.
"St. Brown in Detroit, who I have a strong affinity for, he plays the game the same way. I feel that from Luther," Johnson said. "He wasn't a full-time starter for us a year ago, but the snaps that he did have, he's got that competitive edge and desire to be great, and it's carried over into the spring and summer as well. He's been a regular in our building, working with our strength staff. He wants to be the most conditioned player on the team. wants to be one of the strongest receivers on the team and just continues to soak in all the knowledge."

The man responsible for delivering Glasgow 2026 said the city had "saved and reinvented" the Commonwealth Games, three years after its future was plunged into doubt.
Ahead of Sunday's closing ceremony - which featured a dazzling fireworks display over the River Clyde - Phil Batty recalled how Glasgow stepped up when the original hosts pulled out.
And he believes the legacy of the sustainable, scaled-back Games will shape the future of the multi-sports event.
The Commonwealth flag was last night ceremonially handed over to the Indian city of Amdavad, which will stage the centenary event in 2030.
But Batty said Glasgow's decision to host the event for a second time in 12 years would never be forgotten.

Lakers predicted to trade Jarred Vanderbilt, major draft capital for $88M Luka Doncic rim runner originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to continue what has already been a successful offseason after making several major acquisitions during free agency. Los Angeles immediately made a splash by acquiring Walker Kessler in a trade to begin the summer.

"The Lakers are still monitoring the market for big men, team sources told The Athletic," The Athletic's Dan Woike reported. "They traded for Walker Kessler and signed Kevon Looney to play center, and Mamukelashvili can play the position, too.

Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles played like a seasoned veteran against a formidable foe, Caitlin Clark and the visiting Indiana Fever. The rookie showed poise throughout the game, including in the clutch, to clinch a 108-100 victory despite Clark and Fever star Kelsey Mitchell's efforts. Onlookers praised Miles for how well she played against Clark and Mitchell. One spectator was South Carolina Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley, who posted on her X/Twitter page. Miles was never under Staley's tutelage; she played for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the TCU Horned Frogs. Still, Staley couldn't help but praise Miles for the masterclass she put up.
"oliviamiles06 got me in my house cursing on a Sunday. Lord have mercy! WNBA I saw a logo change in this app…..use it!," Staley shared.
Staley later shared a photo of Miles' silhouette as the WNBA logo.
Miles finished the intense matchup against the Fever with a team-high 28 points on an efficient 11-of-14 shooting clip, adding four rebounds, six **** ists and a block in 32 minutes. On the other hand, for the Fever, Clark dropped a double-double of 19 points and 10 **** ists while Mitchell pitched in a game-high 37 points.
During the postgame news conference, Olivia Miles, joined by Minnesota Lynx veteran Courtney Williams, was asked about what it was like facing the Indiana Fever in front of over 16,000 spectators. Given that she is still a WNBA rookie, Miles' ability to stay composed in such a hotly contested matchup is rare. Miles said that she was just glad to have gotten the win despite the hostile fanfare.

Nearly two years after the Paris Olympics bronze medal dispute between Romania's Ana Barbosu and American gymnast Jordan Chiles, the case is headed back to the CAS. After Switzerland's Federal Supreme Court ordered a fresh hearing, Romania initially faced uncertainty over funding its legal defense. Those concerns have now been resolved after Parliament approved an amendment allowing the COSR to finance the country's representation before CAS.
Following the development, Barbosu shared a message thanking those who made Romania's legal defense possible.
"Thank you very much for the support and efforts made to make it possible to represent the Romanian side before the court in Lausanne. I always remain confident that the state fights for its most trusted ambassadors, the athletes." (Translated from Romanian into English using Google Translate).
Interestingly, the post was issued in the wake of weeks of doubt regarding Romania's participation in the reopened arbitration. In January, the original Court of Arbitration for Sport decision was overturned in part, and the case sent back for a new hearing, due to the new evidence presented by USA Gymnastics determining whether it is possible that Jordan Chiles' score inquiry was submitted within the required one-minute period.
When the case was brought back to CAS in Lausanne, the Romanian Gymnastics Federation estimated that defending Bărbosu's Olympic bronze medal would cost around 250,000 Swiss francs for lawyers, expert opinions, translations, a procedural fee and other legal costs. At that time, COSR stated that it had resources on hand, but under current laws, it was not legally able to use public funds for legal representation in international sports conflicts.

MIAMI — With the MLB trade deadline arriving Monday, Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Kyle Stowers has become one of the most intriguing names in trade discussions.
After emerging as one of the National League's premier power hitters over the past two seasons, the 28-year-old Stowers has drawn significant interest from contenders seeking an impact left-handed bat for the stretch run.
Reports indicate the Houston Astros are among the teams engaged in trade discussions with Miami, while several other playoff contenders have also inquired about Stowers, an All-Star in 2025.
The Astros have been linked most prominently as they search for another middle-of-the-order bat to bolster their lineup for another postseason run.
While discussions have reportedly taken place, there has been no indication a deal is imminent.

The Astros have been linked most prominently as they search for another middle-of-the-order bat to bolster their lineup for another postseason run.
While discussions have reportedly taken place, there has been no indication a deal is imminent.

Another good test to round up our US tour and finally one where we are on the right side of the result.
We controlled the game well and looked sharper both in and out of possession, with some nice passing moves creating chances and ******* e. Promising signs all over.
Brobbey was terrific — of course, up against lesser opposition, but you can't take that away from him.
A competitive match with the back four doing well.
Wrexham had a goal disallowed after we went ahead and it was an outstanding flick from Brobbey for Mukiele to score. He took his goal really well, no complaints there.

One final 'Summer Series' outing, one final pre -season run out in the States before a return to Europe and another encouraging display for Regis Le bris before attention turns to Lens and Stade Rennes in our final pre-season tests.
The team news provided the first talking point of the evening, with Robin Roefs replacing Melker Ellborg for his first appearance after returning from the World Cup, as well as Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki coming in for Alan Browne and Enzo Le Fée with Le Fée missing out with a knock — hopefully just a precaution.
Wrexham, meanwhile, made seven changes to their side that narrowly lost to Liverpool, with commentators suggesting that the team was expected to be close to that which will start against Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup next weekend.
From the first whistle Sunderland looked sharper, quicker and a far more cohesive unit.
The first chance arrived inside the first couple of minutes, when Trai Hume clipped a lovely ball down the line for Diarra, whose cut back found the oncoming Romaine Mundle. However, good pressure from the defender meant Mundle sliced his effort wide on his weaker foot.

Interestingly, despite being our most targeted area to strengthen in the summer market, the right side of the pitch again yielded the most rewards as we built our attacks. Le Bris once again played Trai Hume in a pseudo-wing role on the right, as waves of attacks developed between Hume himself, Habib Diarra, Brian Brobbey and the ever-excellent Nordi Mukiele.
It was Nordi, of course, who claimed the only goal of the match, slamming a low shot past the (quite poor) Wrexham goalkeeper on 34 minutes. It finished off a wonderful move involving three of the four aforementioned players, as Hume neatly found Brobbey inside the box, who in turn played Mukiele through on goal with a sublime first touch.
It was a good demonstration of how we like to build attacks through fluid positioning and overlaps, even without the out-and-out right winger we so desperately want to recruit. It was also a timely reminder of Nordi's exceptional quality at right-back, perhaps further cementing that as his primary position for the upcoming season.
Contributing to that excellent play on the right were the individual performances of Habib Diarra and Brian Brobbey. I thought both gave fantastic accounts of themselves and demonstrated just how influential they can be, albeit in very different ways.
Brobbey's hold-up play and tenacity to bully defenders were on full display as he essentially tortured Dominic Hyam for the duration of his appearance, earning the defender a yellow card and somehow having a blatant foul – and potential penalty – waved away. The **** ist for Nordi was a lovely bonus to cap off an excellent performance.

On this day back in 2002, Peter Reid took a quick break from Sunderland's training camp to scout a French international midfielder, with the hope of bringing him to Wearside.
Reid ended up in Amsterdam to take in the four-team tournament involving Ajax, Barcelona, United, and Parma, while keeping a particular eye on Parma's French midfielder Johan Micoud.
Reports in the Italian press said that Sunderland had enquired about the then 29-year-old midfielder, who was said to be looking for a move to England or Spain. West Ham and Fulham were also linked with the player, as were Bordeaux, who Micoud joined in 1996 and helped win the French championship in 1999.
Micoud played in the World Cup that summer, replacing the injured Zinedine Zidane in the first two games of France's dismal attempt at defending the World Cup, but the midfielder spoke about any possible move:
I still don't know where I'll be next season. I hope to decide my future in the next few days. I must speak with Parma but I hope to play in another championship. Even England or Spain.

Mavericks fans will love Cooper Flagg already loading up for Year 2 appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Dallas Mavericks forward Cooper Flagg will enter his sophomore season with an entirely different mindset. Last year, he started as an unassuming newcomer in the background, trying to learn the ropes from his veteran teammates. Now, he will be at the forefront of the Mavericks right from the onset.
Flagg lived up to the hype of being the first overall pick, giving Dallas an instant cornerstone following the departure of Luka Doncic. He quickly adjusted to the rigors of the NBA and showcased his all-around acumen, which was a testament to his maturity.
Remember: He is still a teenager.

The Los Angeles Lakers made a few polarizing moves this offseason to upset fans hoping to have an easier path towards NBA Championship contention. One common criticism comes from Lakers fans unsure of why the team paid one of their bigger contracts to Collin ******* ton. The team already has Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves as starters who will dominate the guard minutes.
Sexton likely knows of the criticism surrounding his name and shared the following promise to Lakers fans:
"I'm super excited to be a part of this organization and this team. You can expect someone who's going to come in every single day with energy and juice, ready to give it my all. You'll know you've got a dog on the court.
It's the Lakers, you know, it's so much going on here, so much history in the building. I feel like they're the best fans in the world. So, being able to go out there and put that jersey on each and every night, it's going to be a good time for sure."
The quote shows that ******* ton wants Lakers fans to know he is taking this opportunity seriously and wants to give his all. Winning is most important to ******* ton, and this will be one of his most noteworthy roles yet. ******* ton, Quentin Grimes, and Walker Kessler are the biggest additions needed to pan out for success.

PHOENIX — Buzz over the Phoenix Mercury's blockbuster Kelsey Plum trade continues to dominate the conversation around the league, with one former player giving her perspective on the move.
News of the trade broke late Saturday night, with the five-time All-Star making her way to the Valley to help bolster a team looking to slip into the postseason. However, the trade package sent guard Monique Akoa Makani to the Los Angeles Sparks along with two high draft picks.
Many questioned whether the package was too much to give up for a player who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, but former Mercury player Adrian Williams-Strong doesn't see it that way.

"Monique will be missed, but getting Plum brings a new excitement to the team/organization," Williams-Strong told Burn City Sports' J. Russell. "It shows that we have not given up on the season and are making moves to win."

Football is finally here. We are only a few days away from the Virginia Tech Hokies opening fall camp. We recently began our preview of fall camp with five offensive players to know. Now, we'll do the same for the defensive side of the ball.
The 6-foot-3, 245-pound edge rusher was an elite recruit out of Cocoa, Florida, only one year ago. He signed with Missouri, appearing in three games before choosing to redshirt. However, he entered the transfer portal and quickly became an in-demand player. Hilson chose the Hokies. He is one of several new edge rushers on this season's roster. Hilson, Mylachi Williams and Samuel Okunlola have the best chance to make an impact this fall.
Hilson's combination of size, length and speed gives him the highest upside of the group. He has the potential to make the same type of impact as Antwaun Powell-Ryland did a few years back. That's not saying Hilson will reach 16 sacks or more, but the potential is there. He can easily be a double-digit sack guy this fall.
We are double dipping at defensive end here. When head coach James Franklin was asked to name one player on each side of the ball who stood out this spring, he named Stevens. At 6-foot-5, 260 pounds, Stevens has excellent size. After redshirting his freshman season, he's appeared in all 25 games over the last two seasons. Now, it's time for him to enter the starting lineup and never look back. Stevens will win at the point of attack with brute strength. It will be fun to watch him take the next step in his career.
The 6-foot-1, 228-pound sophomore didn't play over the first few games last season. Once he entered the lineup on Sept. 27 against N.C. State, he never looked back. Chambers had six tackles and one sack in that surprise road win over the Wolfpack. He kept getting better throughout the remainder of the season and became a priority to retain. Now, the Hokies have their middle linebacker, and he still has plenty of room to grow. His former head coach, Brent Pry, is now his defensive coordinator and position coach.

Golden State guard Brandin Podziemski showcased a new look last week, as a recent photo revealed a new haircut for the former Illinois guard with a short hairstyle. The photo comes not long after his teammate, Jimmy Butler III, revealed a new hairdo as well.
In an injury-riddled 2025-26 campaign for the Warriors last season, Podziemski was the most durable player in Steve Kerr's rotation, playing in all 82 games, averaging 28.5 minutes per contest. In those minutes, Podziemski averaged a career-high 13.8 points to go along with 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 ***** ists and 1.1 steals while shooting 37.1% from 3-point range and 45.5% from the field.

Olivia Miles is playing a major role in Minnesota's regular-season rampage. On Sunday, the No. 2 pick in this year's draft scored a mind-blowing 28 points, leading the Lynx to a big win over the Caitlin Clark-led Indiana Fever.
Miles' performance also blew the mind of WNBA legend and South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley, who even urged the league to base the logo's silhouette on the young guard's image.
Olivia Miles continued her phenomenal season, scoring 28 points on 11-for-14 shooting from the field. The TCU standout, who made three 3-pointers and went 3-for-3 at the foul line, also finished with 4 rebounds, 6 ****** ists, and 1 block in 32 minutes.
She masterfully guided the league-leading Lynx to a crucial win over the Fever in a marquee matchup with a playoff atmosphere.
Miles' awesome performance against one of the playoff favorites left legendary point guard and three-time NCAA women's basketball champion Staley offering some choice words in amazement at Miles' superb showing.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves moved to bolster their rotation only hours after placing right-hander Reynaldo López on the 15-day injured list by acquiring right-hander Tyler Mahle from the San Francisco Giants on Sunday night.
Mahle, 31, was 3-9 with a 5.14 ERA in 18 games with the Giants this season. The Braves sent right-hander Anthony Molina to the Giants. The Giants optioned Molina to Triple-A Sacramento.
Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos said he was interested that Mahle was 2-1 with a 2.82 ERA in four starts in July.
"We actually talked with him as a free agent when he signed with the Rangers (before the 2024 season)," Anthopoulos said in a conference call following the trade. "He's had good success in the past."
For his 10-year career, Mahle is 42-55 with a 4.19 ERA.
