Former San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will officially be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH, as a member of the class of 2026 on August 8. Sean Payton, former Saint and Brees' longtime head coach in the Crescent City, was recently announced as the presenter for No. 9 at the enshrinement ceremony.
Although Brees and Payton had their own backgrounds in the NFL before joining forces in New Orleans in 2006, the QB-HC combo cemented their professional legacies within the Superdome at the heart of the Big Easy, delivering a rebirth to Saints football and aiding in the rebuild of a then-broken city.
Following a 3-13 season and a 2005 campaign that saw zero home games played inside of New Orleans following the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the city and team required a refresh and found just what Louisiana needed in a first-year head coach and a young gunslinger coming off of a brutal shoulder injury. These guys would grow, progress, and build what would become one of the most prolific offenses in modern league history.
The partnership between Brees and Payton quickly sparked a fire for the black and gold while providing a sense of hope for those still suffering from the tragic natural disaster just a year removed. In the pairing's inaugural season in New Orleans, the Saints finished with an 11-5 overall record and made a run to the NFC Conference Championship game. Although the team would ultimately fall short of reaching the ultimate goal of playing in and winning the city's first Super Bowl, this season was simply a foreshadowing of greater things to come.
New Orleans would go on to miss the postseason in both 2007 and 2008 before a magical year in which pigs learned to fly.

Bayside High football opened practice July 28 before the sun rose as the Bears begin preparation for their third season playing in the Sunshine State Athletic **** ociation.
Last year, Bayside reached the SSAA Atlantic state playoffs for the second year in a row. It finished the season 3-8 after losing to eventual state champions American Heritage (Delray Beach) in the first round.
"I think we had a rough year. We went to the playoffs and played a really good American Heritage team down there. They're heads and shoulders above where we are. That's kind of our goal to be like them," Bayside head coach Billy Miller said. "We feel like in our program we learn from adversity. That's what allows you to grow. When we're able to do that and apply that to this year, we feel like it's going to pay dividends for us."
Miller said he's been pleased with the offseason program and the work the players have put in. The Bears will be young this season with only a dozen seniors on the roster. Consistency will be the key, according to Miller.
"There were flashes last year where we looked really, really good and then there were times that we just looked like we had never seen a football," Miller said. "We've got to find that consistency and teach kids that come in and stack days. It's easy to be good one time, but it's difficult to be good all the time. That's a learned behavior."

PHILADELPHIA − In life, every action has a reaction. And so it is in the high-stakes world of NFL finances, something the Eagles fully understand.
Heck, they practically wrote the book on how to keep core star players together. Jalen Carter was just the latest example. The Eagles officially signed Carter to a four-year contract extension worth as much as $152 million on July 29. Carter's average annual value of $38 million makes his the largest contract for a defensive tackle in NFL history. At least for now.
Carter is at the top of the DT pay scale despite being just 25 years old, entering his fourth season, and coming off a season in which injuries to both shoulders limited him to 11 games and 3 sacks.

So yes, the contract is a gamble, especially because it really doesn't start until 2028 and lasts through the 2031 season.

CHICAGO − Ohio State football coach Ryan Day said the handful of players who were held out at the end of spring practice in April have been participants in summer workouts and are due to return for the start of training camp in August.
Austin Siereveld and Phillip Daniels, the Buckeyes' returning starting left and right tackles, and Earl Little Jr., a transfer safety from Florida State, were among those who underwent procedures late in spring practice.
Day did not divulge the details of the injuries to Siereveld and Daniels during the spring, but then described their procedures as small ones. He said Little had a cleanup procedure on a knee that led him to miss the spring game.
"It's good to get all those guys back and have a full summer with them, which has been great," Day said during Big Ten media days on July 29. "Now we're ready for the preseason and everything looks good. I think it was the right thing to do. At the end of the year, you've got to clean up your shoulders, you've got to clean up your knees. All that went well."
While Siereveld started at left tackle last season, he also made six starts at left guard in 2024 and could slide inside if the Buckeyes reconfigure their offensive line to include Ian Moore, a promising redshirt sophomore.

A pit in my stomach formed last night in the train as I read Hugging Face's latest blog post on how its servers got hacked by OpenAI's models in early July. I had printed out the 23-page report for the ride since service can be spotty underground. Seeing the story laid out in physical form underscored just how outrageous it is. I wondered if the person next to me was peering over my shoulder at my strange, stapled Sci-Fi novel on the first significant autonomous AI hack.
Alongside the Hugging Face report, OpenAI published a few more details in a seven-bullet-point update to its July 21 blog that revealed its models' involvement in the incident. OpenAI contributed to Hugging Face's post-mortem, and said it plans to publish more of its side of the story "in the coming weeks" after completing a thorough internal review. OpenAI faces significant pressure to do so from security researchers, executives, and, well, just about everyone in the AI industry to share learnings and ensure the proper guardrails are in place going forward.
How OpenAI's technology escaped a sandbox and hacked into another company is a remarkable story, and one in which the details are still coming in piecemeal. But here's what we know so far and what we're still waiting to find out.
Another tech company called Modal Labs said OpenAI's agent also accessed its systems, as first reported by Reuters on Tuesday and confirmed by Fortune. Though that's a somewhat shocking twist in this tale, it's not even the full scope of the attack.
OpenAI's updated blog post confirms the models broke into four accounts across four publicly available services in total. The company did not name them, but said it would "notify service owners directly." We can expect more of this information to come out in time, but OpenAI says so far it has "not identified any other activity at the level of severity or scale of what we've shared related to Hugging Face, which involved a platform-level compromise."

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry could hardly keep their hands off of each other as they celebrated their first anniversary. He and the singer were spotted as they vacationed in the south of France on July 28.
In photos obtained by TMZ, the two of them smiled as they snapped a selfie. Trudeau and Perry also enjoyed a romantic boat ride, with the former Canadian prime minister stepping in to help her apply some SPF. Perry, who wore a teal bodycon dress with a peplum hemline, lowered its straps off of her shoulders as he rubbed sunscreen on her décolletage.

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.

There have been other Bulldogs tailbacks who ran for more yards than Knowshon Moreno. There are Bulldog tailbacks with more SEC and national **** le rings than Knowshon Moreno. But pound for pound and carry for carry, has there ever been a more electric Bulldog tailbacks who ran than Knowshon Moreno? I submit that the answer is ""no." Just ask the Central Michigan Chippewas.
CMU came to Athens for the second game of the 2008 season and met a Bulldog squad with a chip on its shoulder. Georgia, led by future #1 draft pick and likely NFL Hall of Famer Matt Stafford had begun the season ranked #1 in the nation for the first time in decades. But the Red and Black actually dropped to #2 after a sleepy home opener win against Georgia Southern. They took their frustrations out on the Chips, scoring on four straight possessions coming out of halftime to cruise to a 56-17 victory.
There were plenty of highlights in this one, but the iconic moment remains Knowshon's twisting, leaping run for a drive extending first down.
Few tailbacks have ever been as shifty in traffic and as smooth in the open field as noted quiet hours back flipper Knowshon Rockwell Moreno. Knowshon would finish his day with 168 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns. But it was this leap that ended up on teeshirts and message board avatars.

Aston Villa are still awaiting the outcome of their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) as they try to register Brian Madjo, who joined from Metz for £10m in January and does not turn 18 until January next year.
Under-18s cannot complete international transfers, but Villa have argued Madjo was born in London and should be exempt, despite having three caps for Luxembourg.
Fifa does allow some exemptions for minor players to make moves, including if a 16 or 17-year-old transfers within the European Union - something the UK is no longer part of.
At 6ft 4in, Madjo has already been compared to Belgium's Romelu Lukaku and his leveller against Real Sociedad to make it 2-2 after 56 minutes was simple enough but showed a predatory instinct.
He was a handful for Real, with strength and power unsettling the visiting defenders and, with Ollie Watkins still on a break following England's World Cup campaign and Tammy Abraham returning from a shoulder issue, Madjo has the chance to impress.

Miley Cyrus is never one to shy away from a bold, revealing look.
From bikinis to lingerie, the "Flowers" singer, 33, posed in risque photos on the cover of Wonderland's summer 2026 issue.
In the photoshoot, which was shared on Instagram on Monday, July 27, she wears an oversized satin coat jacket from Saint Laurent while shirtless and covering her chest with her crossed arm. Other looks feature the "Hannah Montana" star strutting in a leather jacket while flaunting her tattoos or a one-shoulder ruffle top while slightly revealing more skin.
In another photo, the pop star embraces minimalism as she wears nothing but a Tiffany & Co. necklace and her blonde curls.
She's no stranger to a provocative appearance. At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, she famously wore a nude-toned two-piece outfit as she twerked on Robin Thicke with a foam finger during a performance of "We Can't Stop" and Thicke's "Blurred Lines. "

Coming off a walkthrough on Monday, the New England Patriots turned the tempo and intensity up a notch on Tuesday. The two-hour session behind Gillette Stadium was the most competitive so far this training camp, and quite an eventful one.
To recap the action, please head over to the latest version of our Patriots training camp notebook. For who caught our eye, please keep reading.
WR Kayshon Boutte: Boutte continues to make big plays on a daily basis. On Tuesday, his biggest moment came when he caught a deep touchdown from Drake Maye during 11-on-11s. Lining up in his typical spot as an X-receiver, the fourth-year man was able to get a step on safety Kevin Byard on a go route and showed some tremendous ball tracking and concentration skills to complete the over-the-shoulder catch for a score of 40-plus yards.
It was not Boutte's only reception on the day. He also caught a throw from Maye over the middle during 7-on-7s and added pair of catches when backup Tommy DeVito targeted him on out routes. It was an active day for a player who, through four practices, has been New England's most impactful wide receiver.
QB Drake Maye: The Patriots' quarterback started a bit slowly and his connection with A.J. Brown remains a work in progress, but he overall had a good day — an encouraging development after struggling with accuracy during the last full-speed practice on Sunday. Maye got into a rhythm during 11-on-11s, finding Boutte on his long touchdowns and also connecting with Hunter Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson for long completions.

On the ESPN College Football podcast, Dan Wetzel asked: is Michigan football poised to surprise pundits across the sport in 2026? His compatriot there on the writing side, Bill Connelly, notes in his preview that if a few things go right for the maize and blue, a deep run could be in their future.
In his feature-length write-up on the conference, the Wolverines aren't one of Connelly's contenders for the ****** le and beyond -- such belongs to Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana -- but Michigan is in the same category as USC, Penn State, Washington, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, UCLA, Maryland, Wisconsin, and Northwestern as schools that 'could be a couple of breaks away from a run."
Of course, Michigan is thought of much more highly than, say, UCLA, Maryland, and Northwestern, but Connelly asks a couple of questions that the answer will determine the team's ceiling in 2026.
Whittingham's bona fides are top notch, but I do have two big questions.
1. Can the hard-nosed overachiever coach properly connect with and motivate a roster of blue-chippers? Going from managing a roster of chip-on-their-shoulder underdogs (relatively speaking) to leading higher-caliber recruits with higher expectations has tripped up plenty of coaches through the years. And that's without getting into the fact that Whittingham is 66 years old. (Between Patterson and Whittingham, it's a big year for 66-year-olds.)

Raiders' Fernando Mendoza unveils true feelings on getting invaluable Tom Brady mentorship originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Tom Brady has skin in the game when it comes to the Super Bowl race once again. He used to root for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers but that was only because his legacy in those areas preceded him. This time around, he is confidently rooting for and actively trying to help the Las Vegas Raiders win the Super Bowl. The first step? Mentoring the former Indiana Hoosiers star and 2026 NFL first overall pick, Fernando Mendoza.
A lot of pressure is on the shoulders of Fernando Mendoza. After a five-year drought, he became the first player to win the Heisman Trophy while also nabbing the College Football Playoff National Championship. Mendoza also led the greatest program turnaround during his stay with the Indiana Hoosiers. Now, he also has Tom Brady giving him advice as he navigates the NFL as the Raiders' new quarterback.
Obviously, all of this can be a lot for the Raiders' rookie quarterback. But, the mentorship with Brady seems to be helping Mendoza a lot. He even discussed his feelings when it came to his newfound relationship, via Grant Gordon of NFL.com.
"It's surreal. However, you know, he's been such a great resource and he's been, from a young age, he's been a big idol of mine and then now it's, OK, Tom is a human being. Yes, he's an exceptional human being, but he's a human being. So, take what you can, learn from him, and make sure that you value that relationship, rather than looking at him with googly eyes every second," the Raiders quarterback declared.

The bears may not be going anywhere on semiconductor stocks.
Quick insight: The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) — which counts Nvidia (NVDA), Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), and Broadcom (AVGO) as its top three holdings — has begun to form a head-and-shoulders stock pattern, according to Yahoo Finance AlphaSpace chart ****** ysis (below).
The left shoulder took shape starting in mid-May, with the head forming in late June, and now the right shoulder has emerged. The pattern will be official if the ETF falls below the May 19 closing low of $543.
The head-and-shoulders pattern is widely considered bearish, as it suggests that buyers are gradually losing control of the market for a particular stock or ETF.
During the formation of the left shoulder and head, buyers can still push prices to new highs. But the inability to push higher on the right shoulder suggests that buyer demand is beginning to weaken.

Jaelan Phillips was already going to be shouldering a heavy load for the Carolina Panthers defense this year. The four-year, $120 million contract he signed in March was the biggest for player in free agency—even more than former sack champion Trey Hendrickson got from the Baltimore Ravens.
And now, after Thursday's news revealed that fellow starting outside linebacker Nic Scourton would miss the entire 2026 season due to an ACL tear, the pressure is even greater.
From Phillips' perspective, he's focused on turning his high pressure rate into more sacks. Here's what he told NFL Network national reporter Cameron Wolfe after the opening session of training camp:
Phillips entered the 2025 campaign with a career high of 8.5 sacks, which he posted during his rookie season in 2021. Last year, he managed just 5.0 while playing a full 17-game slate between the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The under-the-hood numbers, however, tell a bit of a different story. Phillips tallied 76 pressures in 2025, tied for the ninth-most in the league.

With rookies already in camp, the Tennessee **** ans are just a few days away from taking the field and watching the position battles commence.
Tennessee made some significant changes to its roster throughout the offseason and will look a lot different than it did in 2025, but it still has some questions to answer on both sides of the ball. In his preseason preview, ESPN's Turron Davenport outlines three key position battles to watch once camp kicks off that could have a major impact on the outcome of the 2026 season.
There's no slam-dunk favorite in the three-way battle between veterans Austin Schlottmann and Andre James and rookie Pat Coogan. Schlottmann has the upper hand, having played in Daboll's offense the past two seasons. But James, a late addition during minicamp, started 31 games for offensive line coach Carmen Bricillo with the Raiders in 2022 and 2023. Coogan has an outside shot at the job because of his top-level communication skills, but he has an uphill battle after being selected in the sixth round in April.
The late addition of James adds some more intrigue to this competition, which had the appearance of a two-horse race throughout most of the offseason. James did have his best seasons under Bricillo, and could surprise. Coogan has championship pedigree from his college days, and could eventually see some reps, definitely making it one of the positions to watch.
Veterans Cordell Volson and Jackson Slater are the primary competitors in this battle. Volson has 48 starts under his belt after being selected by the Bengals in the fourth round in 2022. He missed the 2025 season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder last August. Slater enters his second season after being selected in the fifth round last year. He played 34 snaps last season, all of which came in the season finale against the Jaguars. Someone needs to emerge quickly to help solidify the right side, especially with questions surrounding Latham at right tackle.

MLB Trade Rumors | Charlie Wright: The Yankees rearranged their planned starters for this weekend's series in Philadelphia. Cam Schlittler was **** ped up to start Friday on normal rest, with Will Warren pushed back to Sunday. Warren appeared in relief Wednesday to help provide some coverage during a doubleheader. With Max Fried back in the rotation and Carlos Rodón on the comeback trail, Warren's recent usage suggests his spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy.
MLB.com | Thomas Harrigan: The Yankees have gotten virtually no offensive production from the catcher position this season. With the trade deadline looming, expect them to pursue an upgrade. The most likely candidate is Minnesota's Ryan Jeffers, a righty bat who's a free agent after the season. The Athletics' Shea Langeliers and Colorado's Hunter Goodman are higher-upside plays with more years of club control, but there's no guarantee either will be moved. The Mets' Francisco Alvarez and Baltimore's Adley Rutschman loom as longshots, with Cincinnati's Tyler Stephenson and Minnesota's Victor Caratini less exciting backup plans should the rest fall through.
NJ.com | James Mertz: Paul Blackburn has broken out with the Yankees this year after moving to the bullpen full-time, posting a 2.00 ERA in 35 outings. He attributes the career renaissance in part with the consistency the Yankees have provided. The veteran contrasts that with his tenure with the Mets, who constantly shuttled him between the rotation and the bullpen. "I felt like we were just playing a video game," he said of his time across town, during which he posted a 6.00 ERA in 12 games.
CBS Sports | Rotowire Staff: Luis Gil faced live batters on Friday for the first time since early May, throwing BP. He's been on the minor-league IL, working back from right shoulder inflammation. The former Rookie of the Year was disastrous in four starts early this year and has no guaranteed role upon his return.

Stoke City goalkeeper Viktor Johansson says he is hungrier than ever to get back playing for the Championship club.
The 27-year-old was part of the Sweden squad at the World Cup but did not make an appearance as Graham Potter's side reached the last 32, where they were beaten by France.
Johansson missed four months of last season after dislocating his shoulder against Sheffield United in December, only returning for the final game of the campaign at Bristol City, before agreeing a new four-year deal with the Potters in May.
"This is probably one of the first years in my career that it felt like coming home - I missed it so much during the off-season and my family missed it as well," he told BBC Radio Stoke.
"That tells you a lot about the club and how we feel at home which is a nice feeling and seeing Svante (Ingelsson) here as well who I have been playing with in previous years and how he's fitting into the group."

The Los Angeles Rams revealed two new uniforms at their "Rams Revealed Live" event on Thursday night, finally unveiling the alternates fans have been waiting to see for months. They were in line with expectations, going the throwback route with both uniforms.
The first is a classic yellow jersey with white pants that pays tribute to the 1950s teams, featuring navy stripes on the shoulders and solid numbers on the front and back. The other is a white and navy throwback that honors the "Fearsome Foursome" era of the 1960s and 70s. With the white set, the Rams will wear a blue helmet with white horns instead of their usual yellow horns.
In addition to unveiling these uniforms, the Rams also announced when they will wear each one this season. Both will be worn at home, giving fans at SoFi Stadium a look at these classic jerseys.
The "Classic Sol" uniforms will debut in Week 2 against the Giants, and will also be worn in Week 13 against the Chiefs, both of which are prime-time games; Week 2 is on Monday night and Week 13 is a Thursday game.
The "Fearsome White" uniforms will only be worn once, on Thanksgiving Eve in Week 12 against the Packers on Wednesday Night Football.

At a special event for season ticket members, the Los Angeles Rams revealed two new alternate uniforms for the upcoming season. They had been teasing this release since refreshing their current uniforms earlier this offseason, and now we finally have a first look at them.
For one of the uniforms, the Rams turned back the clock to the 1950s by going with a yellow throwback jersey that features navy stripes on the shoulders. It's a classic throwback look, paying homage to past teams in Los Angeles. The Rams haven't worn yellow jerseys since their Color Rush set, which was worn sparingly from 2015-2019.
The other uniform is another throwback. It marks the return of the iconic navy and white uniforms from the Fearsome Foursome era of the 1960s and '70s, bringing back the white horns on the helmets.
The Rams also released a video showing off the uniforms, pairing the classic yellow jerseys with white pants. The white Fearsome Foursome jerseys will also be worn with white pants, an iconic look from decades ago.
At some point before the season, the Rams will release a full uniform schedule, announcing when they will wear each of their five uniforms in 2026.

We're only days away from the start of the New Orleans Saints' 2026 training camp, but some players are working their way back from injuries that derailed their 2025 seasons. Here's a look at each of the Saints players who returned after ending last season on injured reserve.
Means was dealt a bad hand with a bad ankle injury in the preseason, which put him out of action for the rest of the season. He's been active in workouts with Tyler Shough during the spring and offers a height-weight-speed combination not many other guys on the roster can boast at 6-foot-1, 212 pounds with 4.4 speed. But he's facing a ton of competition to make the squad in September.
Polk was acquired in a preseason trade with the New England Patriots, but he spent the 2025 season recovering from a shoulder injury suffered at Patriots training camp. He's worked hard to recover and build a rapport with his new quarterback Tyler Shough, and it's notable that he was one of several wideouts participating in the Drew Brees-led workouts in San Diego. Maybe a fresh start is just what he needed.
While he didn't technically play for the Saints last year, Emerson did miss the 2025 season recovering from Achilles surgery after going down early in Cleveland Browns training camp. And now he's healthy and taking reps whenever the Saints have been on the field. He could push Quincy Riley for snaps in the starting lineup across from Kool-Aid McKinstry.
Blackmon started at safety in Week 1 last year and stayed on the field for all 66 defensive snaps, plus three reps on special teams, but he noticed some discomfort after the game and was diagnosed with a torn labrum. He's dealt with labrum injuries before but this one required season-ending surgery. He's back in the starting lineup now that he's healthy.

For some, polished summer dressing can feel like a challenge. Elements that are too simple can lead an outfit to look overly casual, but add too many bells and whistles and the look can seem forced and overdressed. When looking for summer outfit inspiration that threads the needle effortlessly, no one does it quite like Queen Letizia of Spain, who showed off her prowess for the "just enough, not too much" seasonal outfit at an audience at the Zarzuela Palace.
Welcoming the team behind the documentary Los Nietos del Silencio, the queen opted once again to shop her own closet, rewearing a navy and white dress from Antik Batik. The tiered maxi featured a nigh crew neckline to balance the sleeveless style, with wavy embroidery white accents and white embroidery at the shoulders. Letizia previously wore the style last year when she attended a symposium on women in sports.

To complete her look, Letzia paired the dress with one of her go-to shoe styles, the wedge espadrille. In fact, her name was all over this moderate-heeled navy and white pair—the style, by Picon, is actually named the "Letizia." As per her usual style, Letizia wore her hair in loose waves, and capped things off with a pair of understated gold earrings by Spanish jeweler Isabel Guarch.
The Spanish queen is well-known for rewearing some of her favorite looks, as she displayed today. Just last week, she chose a white, patterned Hugo Boss dress for an event for the Princess of Girona Foundation that she had previously worn out and about twice before. She even decided on a rewear for Spain's Wold Cup-winning match over the weekend, donning a bold red Adolfo Dominguez dress that she first wore last fall.

Nebraska football tight end Carter Nelson has a major goal as he heads into the 2026 season. The in-state star looks to be a focal point of the offense, and he has a new mindset heading into the year.
Nelson played in all 13 games last season and a variety of roles. He caught two passes for 11 yards and also returned a blocked punt for a touchdown against Michigan State. He caught a three-yard pass in that same game and caught a pass for 8 yards at Penn State.
There were signs that he could break out last season. However, he had surgery over the offseason to correct bone spurs and clean up a secondary shoulder issue. He was sidelined for spring ball as he worked on the rehabilitation process, and now he appears ready to go.
Nelson spoke to Kyle Crooks of the Husker Radio Network and talked about his thought process for 2026. He spoke specifically about moving on from injuries and starting new.
"The biggest thing is to just leave that behind me, move on and start the new season."

Forward Kyogo Furuhashi has departed Birmingham City "a cult figure", believes BBC Radio WM's Richard Wilford.
The ******* an international has joined LA Galaxy after just one season at St Andrew's, in which he scored only three goals in 31 appearances.
Furuhashi arrived with high expectations, with the 31-year-old impressing during a three-and-a-half season stint at Celtic, leading some fans speculating on where it went wrong during his move to the Championship.
Among those theories was the impact of a shoulder injury he had picked up at the end of his Celtic spell, but Wilford is not so sure it played a role.
"I'm not sure, particularly the way he plays, that it [the shoulder injury] would have impeded him too much," Wilford said.

When Iowa State announced the impending retirement of longtime athletics director Jamie Pollard, the Cyclones gave themselves a year-long runway to make the handover.
It won't, however, apparently take nearly that long.
"As soon as they hire the new AD, I will exit stage left," Pollard said in an interview with 365 Sports on July 21. "I just believe that's the way it should be. They don't need somebody hanging around looking over their shoulder or getting in the way.
"I would envision that actually they'll get that person on board probably late fall, and maybe that will coincide with me lasting through the football season, but I won't be here during the basketball season."
When announcing the retirement on July 10, Iowa State said Pollard would retire by June 30, 2027, "or when a new athletics director is in place." Pollard's comments, though, suggest that the Cyclones will have a new boss by the end of the calendar year.
