Every year I take a look at who I think will be the top players on Boise State's football team. With so many unproven players, coming up with this season's list was a bit tougher than previous years. This team's squad is definitely more proven on the offensive side of the ball and that is reflected in our list. Last week, we continued our countdown by taking a look at a veteran defensive back. This week, we move back to the offensive side of the ball with a senior quarterback that has a lot to prove. Coming in at number four we have…
Maddux Madsen
The most polarizing player on Boise State's roster is almost always a quarterback and this season is no exception. Senior quarterback Maddux Madsen is entering his third full season as the starting quarterback and will look to win over a fan base that has mixed feelings about him. Madsen's sophomore season was a success, as he played a key role in helping the Broncos reach the College Football Playoff. Madsen's junior season was a bit of a roller coaster. He battled a lower leg injury for much of the season and was sidelined for two games after leaving with that same injury against Fresno State. Madsen returned in the Mountain West Championship and had his best game of the year in a victory over UNLV where he passed for 289 yards and three touchdowns.
Madsen enters his senior season with the lofty expectations that come with being Boise State's quarterback. The expectations with this group are a conference championship and an appearance in the College Football Playoff. In order to do so, Madsen will need to stay healthy and show more poise in the pocket. Last season, Madsen was hesitant to tuck the ball and run. Now that he's healthy, will he be more willing to use his legs? If this team meets its goals, it will be because Madsen has the best season of his career.
Countdown so far:

July 29 (UPI) -- Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar Jr. effectively confirmed he will no longer play in international matches.
Neymar made the announcement Tuesday after Santos beat Universidad Central in Santos, Brazil.
"I think my time with the ⁠national team has already passed," Neymar told reporters. "I made history there, and I'm very happy about it. I experienced a lot there, gave my blood and my life, and always fought and battled for the yellow jersey. But, I don't think I want it anymore."
Neymar, Brazil's all-time leading scorer, made his senior team debut in 2010. He went to the World Cup four times with the Brazilians, including their 2026 run to the Round of 16.
The 34-year-old Santos forward scored once and played for 55 minutes at the 2026 tournament. He also hinted earlier this month that his international career was nearing its end.

Look at the edges she **** ed today!
Shea Couleé is RuPaul's Drag Race royalty as the crowned queen of All Stars 5. The iconic diva is one of the most well-rounded winners from the hit show and her world domination is only gaining momentum.
By walking in major fashion campaigns (including Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show), securing a guest spot on the hit ABC show Abbott Elementary, and becoming the first drag artist to land a major acting role in the MCU, Couleé has undoubtedly made a major impact beyond Drag Race fame.
Although her résumé certainly speaks for itself, there's still one iconic Drag Race moment that lives in her head rent free.
"I would probably have to say when I got to walk for Naomi Campbell and come face-to-face with her. It really takes a lot to make a bad **** like me cry. Y'all got me! It was so iconic. She's so beautiful, wonderful, and gorgeous. A true icon! Whenever it comes across my timeline, I never skip it. I always sit there and watch," Couleé tells Out.

Arkansas football enters 2026 looking almost nothing like the team that stumbled through a disastrous 2025 season that saw them go 2-10 overall and 0-for-the-SEC. After Sam Pittman was fired in late September and Bobby Petrino finished out the year as interim coach, the Razorbacks turned to Memphis' Ryan Silverfield to lead yet another full scale rebuild of the program. With a new staff, a roster overhauled through the transfer portal, but one of the toughest schedules in the country waiting, expectations in Northwest Arkansas are cautious but hopeful.
Silverfield arrives after six seasons at Memphis, where he went a solid 50-25 and built a reputation for explosive offenses. Memphis has always been a place at which it was tough to succeed. Despite a ton of local talent, the university's commitment level (or lack thereof) and competition on the recruiting trail from SEC schools frequently combined to keep the Tigers from reaching their potential.
Silverfield won more than ten games twice, but 2025 saw the Tigers drop to 8-4, and Silverfield leave prior to them taking a 31-7 beating from NC State in the Gasparilla Bowl. In short, he was not the most highly sought after coach on the carousel, and probably had a hit of a sell by date in Memphis. But Arkansas isn't exactly a plum ****** ignment in the SEC. So in some ways it felt like program and coach found each other at the right time.
Silverfield wasted little time ****** embling his first Arkansas staff. Tim Cramsey, his offensive coordinator at Memphis for four seasons, follows him to Fayetteville after helping the Tigers average 36 points per game and rank among the top 25 offenses nationally. On defense, Silverfield hired Ron Roberts, who spent the last two years running Florida's defense and previously called plays at Auburn, Baylor and Louisiana, including on Baylor's Sugar Bowl winning 2022 staff. Chad Lunsford, a former Georgia Southern head coach, takes over special teams duties after a strong 2025 at Auburn. The staff also brought in several ****** istants from Memphis and around the country, including veteran offensive line coaches Jeff Myers and Marcus Johnson, signaling a clear intent to rebuild a line that struggled last season.
Those new coaches are going to need name tags to keep up with all their new players. Few programs churned their roster harder than Arkansas this offseason. With dozens of scholarship spots to fill, the Razorbacks needed a portal class that ranked among the largest in the country, and they landed roughly 29 commitments that placed them near the top of the SEC and top 15 nationally in industry transfer rankings.

Although training camp is back and the New Orleans Saints are finally on the field again, the business side of football always tends to creep in. While most were worried about rookie Jordyn Tyson's availability for drills, which turned out to be full participation, maybe some attention should have been put on Chris Olave's contract.
Yesterday, in Saints General manager Mickey Loomis' press conference with Saints media, he spoke on the contract talks and had nothing negative to say. Olave was good to go for training camp, and his presence was never in question, but on the first day, he did sit out team drills due to the contract situation.
Contract situations like these can often cause issues, but this one may be different. While other players around the NFL are fully sitting out, Olave just chose not to participate in team drills. This is similar to what Alvin Kamara did a few years ago when he was looking for a new contract, and it never caused issues. Instead of holding out, Olave is holding in, so he is still a participant, just not fully.
This move puts just enough pressure on the front office to get this deal done quickly, and with what Loomis said about those negotiations, that should come sooner rather than later.

TORRINGTON - Sara Brewer, Torrington's new athletic director, played three sports while attending the MacDuffie School in Massachusetts, but her No. 1 athletic love was always equestrian.
She took her first horse-riding lesson at age 6, got her first horse at 12 and competed in horse shows along the Eastern Seaboard from New England down to Virginia until she left for college. The then Suffield resident won her circuit championship several times and was even high-point champion in Massachusetts and reserve high-point champion in Connecticut.
"I was successful," Brewer said, "but it wasn't about the ribbons, though I do love blue. It was about the camaraderie. It was about working with this 2,000-pound animal and trying to convince him that he wanted to do what I wanted him to do. It was a lot of fun."
She will bring the lessons learned in the horse ring, along with plenty of others gleaned from years in sports, to the new position she took over July 1 from retired Torrington athletic director Mike McKenna. Certainly, she has already shown a knack for adaptability in 15 years at the high school.
After graduating from MacDuffie, Brewer earned a degree in athletic training from Endicott College in Massachusetts and a teaching certificate from Central Connecticut (and later advanced degrees online from Canisius and the University of New England). Like McKenna before her, she was originally an athletic trainer for Torrington before joining the faculty as an allied health and sports medicine teacher.

Sitting through a game that feels like watching paint dry often changes the moment a superfan reveals the invisible drama unfolding on the field. A redditor asked the community on r/AskReddit, "What sport looks boring until you understand it, and then becomes amazing?"
In the thread, redditors dive into the technical details and high-stakes strategy that turn seemingly slow sports into absolute obsessions.
This winter sport requires a physically demanding combination of balance and foresight that isn't always obvious to the spectator. The tactical use of sweeping and the complexity of stone delivery create a high-pressure environment for the athletes.
Fans of the pastime explain that the real action happens in the psychological duel between the mound and the plate. Understanding the subtle importance of the pitch count reveals a game of constant, building tension that casual viewers often miss.
High-level racing is often described as an engineering championship rather than a simple test of driving skill. The complexity comes from the deep technological strategy and the intense personal stories that play out through the season.

We gave you our updated power rankings for the NBA's Eastern Conference, where LeBron James formed a superteam on the Philadelphia 76ers, where Kawhi Leonard will presumably join the Toronto Raptors, and where Giannis Antetokounmpo changed uniforms, but what kind of operation would we be if we didn't also give you power rankings for the Western Conference?
So, here they are in all their glory. Perfect and inarguable, as always.
We should note: The East is far deeper than the West for the first time in forever, though the West boasts the league's two ******* le favorites, the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.
The defending champion New York Knicks and LeBron's Sixers, among other teams in the East, may have something to say about it in the end, but the depth and youth of the talent in OKC and San Antonio is impossible to ignore. Those two rosters are in a stratosphere all to themselves.
It would be surprising if any of the top six teams here failed to earn a guaranteed playoff spot. The Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves form another tier of contenders. Beyond them, it's a ******* shoot, as every team features quality players and only the Sacramento Kings are in real danger of dropping into the draft's relegation zone.

Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons is making good progress in his rehab from a torn ACL, but it continues to sound like he will not be ready to play at the start of the season.
While General Manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters that he's open to the possibility of Parsons coming off the active/physically unable to perform list before the end of training camp, it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
"Yeah, I'd like to have enough flexibility to leave the door open. But that would be unlikely, just from a timing perspective," Gutekunst said in his Wednesday press conference. "We've invested a lot in him, so we want to make sure he's ready to go before we even think about putting him out there."
That being said, Parsons has made plenty of progress since suffering the injury in December.
"I may have mentioned it before, but he's a little bit of a genetic freak, so things come pretty easy to him," Gutekunst said. "Again, he's still, obviously, got a long ways to go. These are major injuries, so as you go through these things and how hard they have to work to get back, there's always going to be little setbacks here and there. But he's doing great right now."

Whenever anyone asked me what my dream job is, I always had the same answer: I want to create content that resonates with people. It is truly an honor and a privilege to step into the site producer position at Pinstripe Alley, and I cannot wait to build connections with fans of my favorite team across all professional sports.
The New York Yankees fandom was first introduced to me by my grandfather, who grew up in the Bronx after immigrating from Germany. Whenever my sister and I visited my grandparents' house, my grandmother would always show off her vast collection of glass animals and trinkets from her travels around the world while my grandfather sat in the same spot on his couch, always with a pipe in hand, and watched his Bronx Bombers perform their magic. As I watched him pay close attention to every pitch and carefully ****** yze every swing, I realized that it wasn't just a sport he was watching. It was a beautiful human expression of finesse, endurance, and patience.
I was quickly enthralled with the art of baseball, despite the games typically lasting over three hours. Whenever my parents took me to a game at one of the most iconic stadiums in the country, I was always asking questions and cheering for Brett Gardner, Nick Swisher, or dancing to Derek Jeter's 2009 walk-up song (Empire State of Mind, for those who don't remember). After watching the Bombers win two World Series during my childhood, I knew I was locked in for life.
I continued to pursue an interest in sports throughout my education, and majored in journalism and mass communication at the University of Wisconsin. During my time as a Badger, I also earned a certificate in sports communication, which was an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in sports media. Instead of relaxing under the sun, my summers were spent writing articles as an intern at the New York Post sports department under fluorescent lights, or at the Yankees clubhouse until 1 a.m.
Since graduation, pursuing my passion for sports media has taken me to many amazing new places. Learning more about the nuances of baseball, however, has been the most rewarding. It has allowed me to develop professionally and form new connections, colleagues, and friends that I'm sure will last a lifetime.

When you are reading this, we will be TWO WEEKS AWAY from the start of the Marquette women's soccer season!
We'll do a lot more season previewing as we get closer to the start of action, but for now, we have to beat the league office to the punch. Last year, we got the preseason Big East awards just a couple of days before the Golden Eagles got going with their season. That means we have to get waaaaaay out in front of the official results of the polling of the league's women's soccer coaches and make some picks for who is going to get honored as the season gets started. My guiding light on these picks is, as always, trying to predict how the coaches will vote. I have my own preferences as to how things should turn out, but at the end of the day, the goal is to try to get these right.
Okay, let's jump right into it, as we've got three individual awards to discuss, as well as a preseason all-conference team and a predicted order of finish for all 11 teams in the Big East!
These things don't have to be complicated: Kohls is the leading returning point scorer in the Big East this season. She had six goals and eight ***** ists last season for the Musketeers for a total of 20 points. Here's the catch: Since the last time the Big East updated the stats for last season was on November 10th, before the NCAA tournament started, Kohls was tied for eighth in total points a year ago and tied for ninth in points per game. She's still the best returning player. Part of that is because there were A LOT of seniors on the All-Big East teams last fall, and another part is because two players in front of Kohls transferred after the season was over. That includes her own teammate, Samantha Erbach, who was the top scorer in the Big East last year with 18 goals and 16 ***** ists, but now she's at Florida State.
I'm going by the points and points per game here, because I value the contribution of ***** ists to offensive production. Sometimes the coaches don't agree with me on that topic, and so I should note that the Big East's top returning goal scorer from last season is Marquette's Jocelyn Leigh, who finished the year with seven. That was tied for eighth in the league in total goals and alone in sixth for goals per game as of the last time the league ran the stat sheet. Marquette was third in the Big East in team goals for as of November 10th with only Georgetown and Xavier in front of them, so there's an argument for Leigh to get the nod here.

CHICAGO (AP) — The nation's first women's professional baseball league in nearly 30 years is about to embark on its inaugural season in what marks a major milestone in the scattered history of the sport in the United States.
The Women's Pro Baseball League is also part of a timeline that goes back to the very beginning of the sport.
"Women have always been part of this game," said Kat Williams, the chief executive officer of the International Women's Baseball Center. "We've always played, we've always umpired, we've always coached. And in some of the earliest references in the 17th century, the earliest references to something like a game of baseball, it was women that were playing it."
Next up is the WPBL, which plays its first game Saturday. The league has four teams — New York, Boston, Los Angeles and San Francisco — for its first year, but the 15 regular-season games for each club and the playoffs will be held at Robin Roberts Stadium in Springfield, Illinois. The ballpark has a seating capacity of 5,200, and Springfield hosted one of the earliest paid women's games when the Blondes faced the Brunettes on Sept. 11, 1875.
Kelsie Whitmore, Mo'ne Davis and Ayami Sato are among the marquee names expected to play in the league's first season. Each team will have 15 active players for the seven-inning games.

Colchester United manager Danny Cowley has said "recruitment is really tough at the moment" after his side were beaten 2-0 by Charlton Athletic in a pre-season friendly.
First-half goals from Matty Godden and Karlan Grant secured the victory for the Championship club, but after the match Cowley was happy with his side's performance.
"We didn't plan the pre-season to be easy, that's why we've played Norwich, West Ham twice, Peterborough, Charlton - so we always understood that it was going to be tough for the players. That's how we like it," Cowley told BBC Essex.
"Off the back of the goals, I was really pleased with how the team responded. Recruitment is really tough at the moment, there's no hiding place from that.
"We know what we want. We're not willing to compromise at the moment but we are trying to stay as brave as we can to get the players that we want.

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England — Their journeys to professional golf couldn't have been more contrasting. Lydia Ko was a child prodigy; Ryan Fox was a late bloomer who didn't turn pro until age 25. Ko rose to fame when, at 14, she became the youngest winner of a tour event and, at 18, became the youngest major winner. Fox was 39 when he won his first major at the British Open two weeks ago.
But they are united by their homeland of New Zealand and by shared experiences in team rooms. Those moments began with pranks at the 2010 World Amateur Teams Championships. These days, the New Zealand bonding sessions play out on a far bigger stage—at the past three Olympic games.
"We went to World Team Ams when I was 14," Ko recalled on Wednesday at the AIG Women's British Open at Royal Lytham. "I don't know if I'm allowed to say it, but he may or may not have tricked me to think my ***** e glass was—I thought it was my ***** e glass—but it was red wine. He's always been the same."
Which is why, two weeks ago, Ko was in tears watching from the U.S. as Fox took the British Open by the scruff of the neck with weekend rounds of 62-68 at Royal Birkdale. Fox stole the claret jug from clubhouse leader Cameron Young with three-under performance in his final six holes, including a walk-off birdie on the 72nd to win by one.
"I was on the West Coast in the U.S. so there was quite a bit of time difference," Ko said Wednesday. "I went to go work out and everywhere I went I was like, 'Please turn on the Open.' It ended up not working on the TV, so I had my trainer turn it on my cell phone and I [also] had it on my cell phone. I can't remember my work out at all."

Brentford have announced that midfielder Jordan Henderson has left the club at once season.
The veteran midfielder, who was a part of England's 2026 World Cup squad without entering the field, joined the Bees from Ajax last summer and went on to feature 34 times for the club, scoring once.
Now Henderson is set to make the surprise move to Chelsea with Xabi Alonso looking to bring experienced players in at Stamford Bridge.
"I leave Brentford with a lot of gratitude for the opportunity the club gave me, and for the support and care shown to me and my family from day one," Henderson said about leaving Brentford ahead of his new move.
"Coming back to the Premier League was really important to me, and Brentford gave me that chance. I'll always be thankful for that.

Q: On a scale of 1 to 10, how impressed were you by Hunter Brown's performance on Saturday Night in Chicago?
A: I would say a 10 because it's the best he's looked since he's come back. He had the fastball command and, with Hunter, he's one of the guys where you always know that he's eventually going to figure it out. It's literally just a matter of time, and it seems like that time came in Chicago.
Q: I know it's just one in the line of another series, but does it feel like these upcoming games with the Rangers have even more importance in late July?

Quarterback play is always paramount in modern college football, as opposed to past decades when the running game mattered most in the sport. This is true in the Big Ten. Fernando Mendoza, the starting quarterback for the **** le-winning Indiana Hoosiers last season, was picked No. 1 in this past NFL draft. This upcoming season, the best quarterbacks in college football reside in the Big Ten. Whoever comes out on top in the Big Ten will have a quarterback who proved to be the best in college football.
Here is my ranking of the top five quarterbacks in the Big Ten:
Dante Moore shone last season, and just like last year, he was in conversations for being the best quarterback in college football. Moore threw for 2733 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. He is dangerous in the pocket and an underrated athlete. Last year, he made the most of having great weapons and a great run game, helping lead Oregon's prolific offense to a college football playoff berth. This season, he enters with more continuity and a deeper set of weapons at each of the skill positions. I expect Moore to have a big season and end the year off being the undisputed #1 overall pick just like Fernando Mendoza.
Sayin's season last year was incredible, and he was extremely efficient. He had all the resources to be in that position with weapons, Jeremiah Smith, and Carnell Tate, but he still maximized his opportunity as a freshman starter. He ended the year with 3323 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. The connection he has with Jeremiah Smith is already a proven one, and he showed he can run the offense even better than Will Howard did the year prior. However, as expected from most freshmen, under the bright lights, he did fall short in the College Football Playoff vs the Miami Hurricanes and in the Big Ten championship vs the Indiana Hoosiers. Although his season was special, he still has more room to grow. If he takes that next step, the Ohio State Buckeyes will have another national **** le trophy in their case.
Jayden Maiava still does not get the credit he deserves for how good he truly was last season. In his first season as a starting quarterback, he led the Trojans' offense to being a top unit in the country. Lincoln Riley's offense was dangerous and high scoring because of how good and confident Maiava was last season. Maiava threw for 3431 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions. Maiava is a gun slinger, and he takes a lot of shots, but playing more under control would do wonders for his perception and draft stock. If he can have a similar season, with fewer interceptions and showcase his running ability more, there is reason to believe he can be one of the first quarterbacks taken in this next draft. The success of the Trojans this year falls on Maiava's back, but I am confident he will take a step forward and not back in year 2.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have often been compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton. Recently, a royal expert revealed a major difference between the two royal couples. While they praised the Wales pair for maintaining "authenticity," they insisted the Sussexes allegedly lack that quality. They highlighted why people reportedly couldn't build trust around Markle and Harry.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly lack one key aspect compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton. A royal commentator and PR expert, Sharon Williams of Taurus Marketing, told News24 how different the two royal couples have been. According to her, the Sussexes often "swap and change" in the public eye. Meanwhile, the Wales couple are said to be "authentic."
"[Markle and Harry] have become famous for the very fact that you don't know what you're going to get. You literally don't know what they're going to do next. So they've not built an authentic brand, or at least she hasn't," the expert said.
Furthermore, she insisted that people loved Harry because he was "Diana's son." After marrying Markle, things seemed to have changed, but the couple allegedly "haven't quite worked out what they are." Reportedly, people seemed "tired" of them because of their lack of "authenticity."
Meanwhile, Middleton and William have performed their duties with that quality. According to the royal expert, the Wales pair has always been "honorable" and "dedicated" to their roles. "They don't come out and say unusual, surprising things. They are an authentic brand, and you know what you're going to get," she added.

Elizabeth Hurley formed an opinion on Miley Cyrus way before they were introduced by Billy Ray Cyrus.
While appearing on Sirius XM's Andy Cohen Live, the Bedazzled actress, 61, revealed Miley was a well-known name in her house for years prior to her becoming her boyfriend's daughter. She recalled, "I'd never met her, but my son used to love Hannah Montana, so he loved Father Montana," speaking of her son Damian, who she shares with businessman Steve Bing.
"He loved Miley too, so I always knew who she was, and when he was a young teen, he used to love all her music," she continued. "I used to have to watch her music videos, like "Wrecking Ball," a zillion times with him, so we were very familiar with who she was, and I knew I was going to like her."
Since meeting the Grammy winner, the actress' thoughts haven't changed much.
"I do like her," Elizabeth said. "She's adorable."

King Charles was reportedly shocked by Meghan Markle's Princess Diana Instagram post. Interestingly, this comes after the Sussexes met King Charles and Queen Camilla at the monarch's Highgrove residence in Gloucestershire. For those unversed, Markle shared photos of Harry and their children visiting Diana's final resting place at Althorp, the Spencer family estate.
Reports claim that Meghan Markle's Instagram tribute to Princess Diana took King Charles aback. As per Rob Shuter, royal insiders dished: "This has upset people who normally defend Meghan." One source reportedly added that "the backlash isn't just coming from her critics anymore."
Reports claim that the decision of his younger daughter-in-law to showcase such a private moment on social media for the world to see "genuinely shocked" Charles.
The palace source shared: "The family has always treated Diana's grave as a place of quiet reflection. If she took the photo there, many believe she should never have posted it on social media."
Another royal source echoed the previous source's sentiments, stating: "Even people who usually refuse to comment on Harry and Meghan are wincing. The feeling is that some family moments are simply too sacred to share."

LeBron James has previously stated he's always wanted to be teammates with Steph Curry, but he couldn't overcome one factor to make it happen this summer.
LeBron and Steph are the two modern pillars of the NBA. While LeBron chases the legacy of Michael Jordan, Curry has proven that he belongs at the same table as the all-time greats.
James and Curry could've been teammates this summer if James had joined the Warriors, fulfilling a publicly-stated dream for the 41-year-old. Unfortunately, one factor was too much to ignore.
Draymond Green spoke about James' decision on his podcast, openly stating that he thought the optics of LeBron coming to the Warriors to play with Steph was too much of a gamble with his legacy.
"I ultimately don't think Bron was ever able to get over the history, and I understand it, I get it… He's gonna get crushed if he comes to the Warriors, 'ahhhh man, you went to team up with Steph', and ultimately I think that weighed in on the decision a lot."

The Indiana Fever said neither the team nor Sophie Cunningham were aware of the "Support Sophie Cunningham" rally held outside Climate Pledge Arena ahead of their game Tuesday against the Seattle Storm. The event was held in support of the Fever guard's recent comments regarding transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports.
"Neither our organization nor Sophie had any knowledge of this demonstration and no contact with its organizers," a statement from the Fever reads. "Our only goal as a team, whether at home or away, is to win basketball games and make Fever fans for life, and we are united in that mission."
The event was organized by Women are Real, Brandi Kruse and Known Heretic, and comes after Cunningham said in an ESPN profile that she wanted to protect young girls in locker rooms and in sport who "shouldn't have to go against biological men."
She reinforced those beliefs ahead of last week's game vs. the Connecticut Sun.
"It's kind of common sense, and I think I'll always believe in that," Cunningham said. "I think it's really important to protect children, and that's little girls who are also involved in that category. So I stand on what I said, and I'll always believe that."

Manuel Neuer has denied reports suggesting Bayern Munich have reached an agreement to give Jonas Urbig more appearances during the upcoming season.
Asked whether such an arrangement exists, the Bayern captain made it clear that he expects the situation to remain unchanged from last year.
"No, I think it will be similar to last season. We'll support one another; we've got a strong goalkeeping squad, including Ulle and the young goalkeepers."
Neuer stressed that the focus is on healthy competition rather than guarantees over playing time.
"The important thing is that we help one another, that we push each other, and that we can always give our best for the team in goal."

Ramadan "The Scorpion" Ondash and Abdallah Ondash are brothers, close friends, and ruthless training partners who have spent much of their lives pushing each other toward the highest levels of Muay Thai.
The 19-year-old Ramadan will face former friend Johan "Jojo" Ghazali in a flyweight Muay Thai co-main event of The Inner Circle 24 on Friday, July 31.
Six years his senior, Abdallah will compete earlier that evening when he seeks revenge against Chokpreecha PK TomTKalaiyont in a strawweight rematch. The event streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.
The Lebanese siblings have already competed on the same ONE Championship card four times, winning every bout between them. Remarkably, each brother has suffered only one promotional setback, and both defeats came when the other was not competing alongside him.
Martial arts has always occupied an important place in the Ondash family. Their father was a wrestler, while their brother Ahmad became the first family member to seriously pursue Muay Thai and later opened a gym in Lebanon.
