Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was seen knocking a clipboard out of the hands of one of her coaches during a loss to the Washington Mystics on Tuesday. 

With less than 30 seconds to go in the game, and both teams tied at 77, Reese walked off the court visibly upset during a timeout. When Reese passed by the team's vice president of strength and conditioning, Ann Crosby, Reese spontaneously slapped the clipboard out of Crosby's hand as Crosby appeared to try and show Reese something on it.

The clip garnered controversy and criticism from fans as it went viral on social media. 

"Never disrespect your coaches," one user wrote. 

Another user wrote, "This is not good behavior." 

Other social media commenters used the clip as an opportunity to compare Reese to her former college rival and WNBA phenom, Caitlin Clark. 

"Caitlin Clark would never," one person wrote.

Another user wrote, "Gotta be a better role model. Caitlin Clark is a great example of one."

After the Mystics took a 79-77 lead, Reese managed to tie the game by making two free-throws. But Washington's Shakira Austin responded and gave the Mystics the lead back with a pair of her own free-throws with just two seconds remaining. Washington went on to win 81-79. 

The loss wasted one of Reese's better performances of 2025, as she finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds and four assists.

Still, the Sky fell to 5-13, and currently hold the second-worst record in the WNBA, just ahead of the 2-16 Connecticut Sun. 

Meanwhile, Clark's team, the Indiana Fever, are 9-9. Clark has missed 10 games this season, but is expected to return to her team on Wednesday for a game against the Golden State Valkyries.

Asante Samuel Sr. spent the majority of his NFL career with the New England Patriots. His son, Asante Samuel Jr., spent the first four years of his professional football career with the Los Angeles Chargers. 

The younger Samuel is currently listed as an NFL free agent. The Miami Dolphins recently sent three-time All-Pro defensive back Jalen Ramsey to the Pittsburgh Steelers and could be looking to bolster their cornerback room. 

But the elder Samuel's recent scathing comments on the state of the Dolphins franchise could put a damper on the possibility of his son landing in South Florida.

From Samuel Sr.'s point of view, the Dolphins organization suffers from deficiencies from the top down. He shared his sentiments about the franchise during a recent appearance on his "Say What Needs To Be Said" podcast as he reacted to the trade that sent Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to Pittsburgh.

The Dolphins did acquire safety Minkah Fitzpatrick in exchange for Ramsey and Smith. Both teams also traded draft picks as part of the deal.

"The Dolphins had no reason to trade Jalen Ramsey other than they’re sensitive. There's no leadership in the Dolphins organization," Samuel asserted.

"[Head coach] Mike McDaniel is a pushover. Chris Grier, the general manager — he has no backbone. These guys over here, the Miami Dolphins, they are running this team like a little league team. No one can stand up to the players. They are terrified of their own players, and they have no control over their players."

The Sun Sentinel reported that Ramsey was tardy to team meetings and practice sessions on a routine basis during his tenure with the Dolphins. In 2023, the star cornerback also reportedly clashed with Vic Fangio — the Dolphins defensive coordinator at the time.

"He became a symbol of the Dolphins just collecting talent rather than building a team," the report from June stated. "Ramsey and Tyreek Hill were constantly late for practices or meetings in a manner that set the culture of last year’s Dolphins."

While the Dolphins have had some regular-season success under McDaniel, he has yet to guide the team to a postseason victory. The Dolphins' last playoff victory came in 2000.

Ramsey is credited with 24 career interceptions. He will join a cornerback room in Pittsburgh that features Darius Slay Jr. and Joey Porter Jr.

Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow opened up about the burglary at his Ohio home that took place as he was competing against the Dallas Cowboys in Texas in December.

Burrow was one of the three players featured in the second season of the Netflix docuseries "Quarterback." The show delved into the break-in that plagued Burrow for the rest of the 2024 season despite Cincinnati winning the final five games of the year.

"Of f---ing course this happened to me right now," Burrow said. "When you’re on cloud nine, something’s gonna bring you right back down. It just felt like the kind of year that it was."

"I just get uncomfortable when, you know, my life is very public… and, you know, it comes with the job, but… there’s certain parts of your life that are, like… yours. Your house is one of those. When that gets violated, people find out where you live, all these different things. Not everybody’s failures at their job are in front of the whole world. It’s a very vulnerable position to be in. I put myself in that position because I love it. Um, I don’t like the other part of it."

Four Chilean nationals were arrested in the burglary, and authorities released a picture of them posing for a photo with the stolen accessories.

The series showed Burrow having a conversation with then-defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo about the heist.

EX-RAMS STAR JARED GOFF SAYS HE WAS BLINDSIDED BY TRADE TO LIONS: 'REAL TASTE OF TRUE ADVERSITY'

"They got all my jewelry… but they could have stolen way worse things than that," he said. "I’m not going crazy about some jewelry. It was expensive, but… it was all insured."

The star quarterback said in the docuseries he needed to put one major purchase on hold.

"I didn’t end up getting the Batmobile because I just had other things I wanted to deal with at that point," he said.

Burrow lamented the media attention that came with the robbery, which also put his relationship with Olivia Ponton into the spotlight.

The men, who police say were in the country illegally, had tools for break-ins at the time of their arrest, along with a Bengals hat and Louisiana State University shirt believed to be stolen from Burrow's home.

The elements of the robbery were consistent with other burglaries recently carried out in varying parts of the U.S. by South American theft groups, the complaint stated. The document added that the groups have typically been comprised of South Americans who enter the country illegally or remain in the U.S. after their visa expires. The groups have targeted jewelry and designer accessories, per the complaint.

After missing the last five games, Caitlin Clark appears on the cusp of returning to the court for the Indiana Fever. 

Head coach Stephanie White told reporters on Tuesday that she expects her star point guard to be available against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday night at home.

"If there’s no setbacks after today, I anticipate her being available," White said.

Clark admitted it's been hard watching her team from the sideline, so she enjoyed a full practice on Monday with her teammates. 

"Yeah, I just think it’s nice to get back out there and get into the flow of playing with my teammates again," she said. "It’s going to be fun to get back out there hopefully and just feel things again."

FEVER RULE OUT CAITLIN CLARK FOR 4TH-STRAIGHT GAME AHEAD OF ALL-STAR BREAK

The question is what White will do in terms of Clark's minutes if she is indeed available on Tuesday night. 

Clark has noticed in the past she doesn't like minutes restrictions when she's healthy enough to play. However, she understands White has to do her job to make sure the Fever come away with the victory.

"I don’t know the type of minutes I’m going to get and what it will look like, but just compete and play hard," Clark said. "This is going to be a team that’s moving constantly, so just be aware and active. Bring energy. It’s hard sitting out for a few weeks, so I’m definitely excited to get back out there."

Clark added that she hopes for a "decent amount" of minutes if she plays, preferably in the "upper-20s."

"Depends on how I feel and how the game goes, and what the team needs as well," she said. 

The Fever have gone 3-2 in Clark's latest absence this season. She missed five games earlier in the year with a left quad strain.

White discussed how her team has looked since Clark, who the offense usually runs through when she's on the court, has been sidelined.

"First and foremost, our defensive energy and effort had been really good," she said. "Our mobility, our activity level, our ability to execute schemes, for the most part, had been really good. We’ve had defensive versatility, and I love offensively how the ball’s moving. Multiple players getting touches, we’re moving the ball side to side. We’re getting high-percentage looks, and that’s been a part of just conversations as ‘C’ gets back on the floor."

In the nine games she has played this season, Clark is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and five rebounds per game.

Amber Rose Howard, the rapper and reality star wife of former NBA center Dwight Howard, has reportedly filed for divorce six months after the couple tied the knot. 

Rose, who goes by the stage name Amy Luciani, filed for divorce on July 1 in Georgia, claiming that the marriage was "irretrievably broken," TMZ Sports reported, citing court documents. 

The documents also state that Rose is requesting alimony, asking that the marital assets and property be "equally divided."

Rose has also removed any pictures of Howard from her social media accounts. 

Their relationship was made public in December, as they revealed being engaged to each other on Instagram. Rose also released a children’s book with Howard as her last name.

Rose’s reality fame comes from her time on Seasons 11 and 12 of "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta." 

She also released an album entitled "Amy’s World" in 2023. 

Meanwhile, Howard spent 18 seasons in the NBA, ultimately putting together a career worthy of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. He was an eight-time All-Star, three-time Defensive Player of the Year, and won an NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2020-21 season. 

Howard’s stardom began with the Orlando Magic, who drafted him first overall out of Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2004. 

He spent eight seasons with Orlando before joining the Lakers on his first of three stints with the team. Howard also played for the Houston Rockets, Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Hornets, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers.

Howard, who has not publicly discussed the divorce filing, is in the middle of his first season with Ice Cube’s BIG3 League.

Several family members of former MLB relief pitcher Tyler Walker remain missing on Tuesday as the death toll surpassed 100 following the devastating flooding that took place in central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend. 

Mark Walker, 51, his wife Sara, 50, and their 14-year-old son, Johnny, have been reported missing after vacationing at a river house in Hunt, Texas, along the Guadalupe River, which was devastated by the Kerr County flood on Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, citing family.

Mark is the older brother of former San Francisco Giants reliever Tyler Walker. 

"I’m sick to my stomach," Kathy Walker, the mother of Mark and Tyler, told the outlet. "It’s a terrible feeling, because you’re helpless here." 

Kathy told the San Francisco Chronicle that she last spoke to Mark on Thursday. The couple’s 16-year-old daughter, Ellie, was attending camp at Camp Waldemar and has since been found safe. 

According to the report, Tyler and his wife traveled to Texas to be with their niece.

After being the first player selected in the 2016 NFL Draft, Jared Goff experienced some highs and lows during his five-year run with the Los Angeles Rams.

Beginning in his sophomore campaign, Goff took a noticeable leap forward once Sean McVay took the Rams head coaching reins. Goff earned Pro Bowl nods in 2017 and 2018, with the latter season culminating with a Rams' Super Bowl appearance.

But Goff would ultimately quarterback the Rams for just two more seasons, as the franchise decided to trade him to the Detroit Lions in exchange for veteran signal caller Matthew Stafford.

Goff is one of the NFL quarterbacks who agreed to allow Netflix's cameras to follow him throughout the 2024 season for the streaming giant's docuseries "Quarterback." The latest season of the series premiered this week.

RAMS COACH SEAN MCVAY REFLECTS ON HANDLING OF JARED GOFF DEPARTURE: ‘HE DESERVED BETTER’

During one of the episodes, Goff recalled his feelings when he learned his time in a Rams uniform had come to an end. He suggested he was completely blindsided by the move to Detroit.

"Three weeks after the last game of the season, get a call from Sean and really did not expect anything," Goff explained on the show. "He lets me know they're trading me to Detroit, and I'm like, 'Whoa, OK, all right. What the hell? What's happening?' I would say about 30 seconds after that phone call, it was on Twitter."

Goff added that he was left with feelings of betrayal. He also alluded to an apparent lack of conversations with any of the Rams' football personnel decision-makers about being included in a possible trade prior to receiving a phone call from McVay.

"You feel like you've been betrayed, or like you're not wanted," said Goff. "And I think for me, ultimately it was the fact that there was not a conversation had, and there wasn't like a, 'Hey we're thinking of moving on' type of thing.' There was nothing."

Goff continued by questioning the level of "maturity" that was involved in the handling of his situation.

"You wish that it wasn't such a blindside and that there was some sort of maturity, I guess, to have that conversation and to be able to let me know what was going on and how things went down. And why this is happening. It was my first real taste of true adversity, and your career is kind of at a fork in the road."

While Stafford has led the Rams to a Super Bowl championship, Goff has had success since he arrived in the Motor City. He helped lift the Lions to a 12-5 record and ended the franchise's lengthy NFC Championship game appearance drought in 2023.

He received Pro Bowl honors in 2024 and led the Lions to a 15-win season.

United States women’s national soccer star Trinity Rodman aired out some things that were on her mind about the attention she’s been receiving for supporting boyfriend Ben Shelton at Wimbledon this month. 

One of them included not appreciating the ESPN broadcast for bringing up her father, the polarizing ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman. 

Trinity wrote an Instagram Story on Monday, where she said she didn't like her personal life being discussed at Wimbledon, which came during the fourth-round match between Shelton and Lorenzo Sonego.

"For Ben’s matches he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad… my dad’s not even in MY life no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don’t even want him talked about during mine," Trinity wrote on her story. "It’s him and his loved ones’ moment. Thank you (thumbs up emoji)."

Trinity also seemingly called out the ESPN team for mispronouncing her team.

"For those who don’t know… my name is TRINITY not Tiffany," she said with laughing emojis.

In December, Trinity discussed her rocky relationship with her NBA-champion father, who she is estranged from, on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. She claimed that he was an absentee father as well as an alcoholic. 

"I lost hope in ever getting him back, I answer the phone now for my conscience to be like, ‘He needed to hear my voice’ before anything happens," Trinity said at the time. "That’s why I answer the phone, not for me. He’s not a dad, maybe by blood, but nothing else."

Trinity also said hope was lost after her father made a surprise appearance at her NWSL playoff game for the Washington Spirit in 2021, but never heard from him. 

Trinity has been nursing a back injury while supporting Shelton in London, where he is into the men’s singles quarterfinals. His toughest test of the tournament will come when he faces top-seeded Jannik Sinner in the quarterfinals on Wednesday morning.

The WNBA is more popular than it's ever been, but apparently, one WNBA official believes the players don't know how to handle it.

USA Today columnist Christine Brennan launched her new book, "On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women's Sports," on Tuesday, and in it, she highlighted the behind-the-scenes of her back-and-forth with DiJonai Carrington that prompted a scathing statement from the Women's National Basketball Players Association in September.

Carrington poked Caitlin Clark in a game earlier last season, and many on social media believed that she may have done it on purpose and laughed about it afterward.

In a move she described as "journalism 101," Brennan asked Carrington about the incident and whether she made fun of it later on – she denied doing both.

However, another one of Clark's rivals, DeWanna Bonner, confronted Brennan just minutes after her back and forth with Carrington, Brennan claimed.

Bonner, who was Carrington's teammate at the Connecticut Sun at the time, approached Brennan, saying that she had "attacked" and "disrespected" Carrington. She used both accusations twice each.

Brennan then discussed the situation with members of the Sun, then-head coach Stephanie White (who is now Clark's coach with the Indiana Fever), and a WNBA official, who said her questions were "fine."

Brennan revealed that the WNBA official said to her that as long as questions are not "vulgar, rude or inappropriate," then they pass the official's "test."

But then, the official dropped a bomb on Brennan.

"Unfortunately, most of our players have zero idea what real media exposure is," the official said, according to the book. "They don’t know what real coverage is, they have been shielded at college and then they come to the WNBA not knowing what real questions are. Frankly, our players just don’t get it."

Brennan said the official "requested their name not be used due to the sensitive nature of the issue."

Neither the WNBA nor the WNBPA have responded to Fox News Digital's requests for comment regarding the official's reported sentiments.

In her book, Brennan also wrote, "A top WNBA official told me ‘this happens everywhere. Why are our players so surprised. Why are they not prepared for it?’"

Brennan said Carrington also took issue with reporters, including herself, the next day, claiming they were "talking s---" about NaLyssa Smith, her partner who just so happened to be on the Fever. Brennan claimed the two other reporters were simply discussing "a bit of a Fever strategy that had just been noticed on the court."

The mugshot of former U.S. Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Mary Lou Retton was released Tuesday, months after Retton was arrested on a DUI charge in West Virginia. 

The mugshot showed the former gymnastics star in a somber mood, seemingly on the verge of tears.

Retton was charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs on May 17, according to Marion County court records. She was released from jail after posting a personal recognizance bond of $1,500.

In a statement previously provided to Fox News Digital by Retton's attorney, Edmund J. Rollo, the gold medalist admitted to driving under the influence and apologized. 

"I take full responsibility for my actions," the statement said. "What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses. To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry. 

"I am determined to learn and grow from this experience, and I am committed to making positive changes in my life. I truly appreciate your concern, encouragement and continued support." 

Retton also entered a no-contest plea, and a Marion County judge fined her $100, according to Rollo.

FORMER STAR GYMNAST SLAMS USA GYMNASTICS FOR TRANS ATHLETE POLICY HANDLING

"Mary Lou Retton appeared in court this afternoon and entered a no-contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge stemming from a recent incident," Rollo told Fox News Digital. "Mary Lou accepted full responsibility for her actions and received a standard $100 fine, consistent with sentencing guidelines for first-time, non-aggravated offenses in this jurisdiction.

"In keeping with her values, Mary Lou made no request for special treatment and was subject to the same legal process as any other individual. She is grateful for the professionalism of law enforcement and the court system, and she fully respects the outcome. Mary Lou has expressed a sincere desire to use this experience as a moment for reflection and accountability. She asks for privacy as she moves forward with her personal and professional life." 

Retton was charged with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs May 17, according to Marion County Court records. She was released from jail after posting a personal recognizance bond of $1,500.

Retton was nicknamed "America’s sweetheart" during her gold medal-winning performance at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. She was just 16 when she scored perfect 10s in the floor exercise and vault in the final two rotations to become the first American woman to win the Olympic all-around title.

She earned five medals that year — one gold, two silver and two bronze.

After she retired from gymnastics, Retton became a motivational speaker and frequently shared messages about the benefits of proper nutrition and exercise. 

She also served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under former President George W. Bush.

Retton was diagnosed with a "rare form of pneumonia" in 2023, and her family said at the time she was "fighting for her life." She was admitted to an intensive care unit as doctors helped her fight the illness.

"This is serious, and this is life, and I’m so grateful to be here," she said on NBC’s "Today" in 2024. "I am blessed to be here because there was a time when they were about to put me on life support."

No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka narrowly defeated No. 104-ranked Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, to advance to the Wimbledon semifinals on Tuesday at the All England Club.

Sabalenka, 27, was twice down a break in the third set before she surged and won the final three games of the set. 

"She pushed me so much," said Sabalenka after the match on the court. "After the first set, I was just looking at my box, thinking, ‘Guys, I mean, book the tickets. I think we’re about to leave this beautiful city, country, place.’"

Sabalenka hadn’t lost a set in this year’s tournament until she dropped the first set against Siegemund in the quarterfinal.

Siegemund, 37, plays an unorthodox style of tennis that can leave opponents flustered. Siegemund has the ability to change the depth, speed, angles and spins of her shots over and over, which can frustrate any opponent and dull the type of power that Sabalenka brings to the court. 

Sabalenka credited Siegemund for playing a "smart game."

TAYLOR FRITZ BECOMES 1ST AMERICAN MAN TO REACH WIMBLEDON SEMIFINALS SINCE 2018

"It's not like it's an annoying game. It’s a smart game. She’s really making everyone work against her," Sabalenka said. "You know you have to work for every point. It doesn’t matter if you’re a big server, if you're a big hitter. You have to work. You have to run. And you have to earn the win."

Siegemund was the oldest player and lowest-ranked player of the women in the quarterfinals. She arrived at the All England Club this year with a career record of 2-5 before going on to upset No. 6-ranked Madison Keys and pushing Sabalenka to the brink.

For Sabalenka, the win moves her into the Wimbledon semifinals for the third time in her career. She lost in both of her prior Wimbledon semifinal appearances, in 2021 and 2023.

Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam tournament in which Sabalenka has not appeared in the final. The world No. 1 has won the Australian Open twice, the U.S. Open once, and lost in the French Open. 

Sabalenka will take on American Amanda Anisimova in the semifinals on Thursday, where she will look to break through and reach the final at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

Charlotte Flair earned a shot at Tiffany Stratton’s WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 41 when she made her illustrious return to the Royal Rumble and won it.

The temperature between the two competitors was turned up a notch on the road to WrestleMania. One of the last faceoffs between Flair and Stratton got personal when the two brought up their real-life relationships into the center of the ring.

As the back-and-forth began to fizzle out on the April 4 episode of "Friday Night SmackDown," Stratton went hard saying that after WrestleMania Flair was going to be just as "alone" inside of the ring as she was on the outside and suggested she was "0-3" in her love life — an apparent reference to the divorces she’d gone through. Not to mention that Flair was only months removed from her most recent divorce from fellow pro wrestler Andrade.

The moment was widely talked about and analyzed in the days leading up to their WrestleMania 41 match, which saw Stratton retaining the title. The two have appeared together scantly since then.

On Tuesday, Flair published a piece in The Players’ Tribune recalling the controversial moment. She suggested the slight left a mark on her.

"And I think in those times when people have seen me appear rattled by the booing, those are just the times when I’ve felt like — at least for a moment — the boos aren’t for Charlotte. They’re for Ashley," she wrote referencing her real name, Ashley Fliehr. "They’re for me. They’re because of the way I look. Or because of the energy I’m giving off as a woman. Or because of real trauma I’ve gone through in real life.

"So when it got mentioned in Chicago that I have an ‘0–3 record at marriages’ … yeah, it rocked me legit. I’m not too proud to tell you that. I don’t need everyone thinking I’m playing 5-D chess all of the time. My reaction to that line was as genuine as it gets. Because — and maybe this makes me naive — in my head?? Charlotte hasn’t been divorced. So I wasn’t expecting it to come up in that promo….. and then all of a sudden I had an entire arena cheering as I got mocked for something that was (and frankly still is) devastating to me."

Flair admitted that the personal stuff hits harder than any of the injuries or bumps and bruises that she’s attained over her WWE career.

Flair is a 14-time women’s champion on the WWE main roster. She’s also one of only a few who have won the NXT Women’s Championship multiple times.

She will have her sights set on tag-team gold on Sunday when she teams up with Alexa Bliss in a fatal four-way tag-team match to take the tag belts off of Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez at WWE Evolution 2.

DiJonai Carrington found herself in headlines last season when she accidentally poked Caitlin Clark in the eye,

When she was asked about it by USA Today's Christine Brennan, it turned into a war of words. 

The Women's National Basketball Players' Association issued a scathing statement, calling out Brennan by name over an interview with Carrington that the union claimed fueled "racist, homophobic and misogynistic vitriol" online.

Brennnan asked Carrington, who was on the Connecticut Sun at the time, whether she intended to hit Clark in the eye after the video, and whether she and Marina Mabry, who recently shoved Clark to the ground in a game, made fun of the incident afterward. Carrington denied both were the truth.

Brennan then said she texted then-Sun head coach Stephanie White, now Clark's coach with the Indiana Fever, to let her know of the situation, which she called "journalism 101." She also said in the book that a WNBA official told her that her questions were "fine."

Smith confronted Brennan, who told Smith she didn't say anything negative, but Smith said she was "lying," Brennan wrote in the book.

Bonner signed a one-year deal with the Fever during the offseason, but was waived after it was reported she had "no interest" in playing for them anymore.

Carrington and Smith appeared to joke about the eye-poking incident during an Instagram Live video in October.

Veteran NFL quarterback Kirk Cousins says he felt "misled" by the Atlanta Falcons after the organization went on to draft Michael Penix Jr. with their first pick in the 2024 draft, a decision he claimed may have led him to stay in Minnesota if he was aware of it before signing. 

During the latest season of the Netflix docuseries "Quarterback," Cousins spoke candidly about the situation in Atlanta, which eventually resulted in him being benched in favor of Penix. 

"At the time, it felt like I had been a little bit misled," Cousins said in the first episode. "Or certainly, if I had the information around free agency, it certainly would’ve affected my decision."

Cousins explained that he would’ve likely remained with the Vikings with the understanding that both teams had plans to draft a rookie signal caller. Atlanta drafted Penix with the eighth overall pick, and the Vikings had selected Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 10th pick. 

"I had no reason to leave Minnesota with how much we loved it there, if both teams are going to be drafting a quarterback high. But I’ve also learned in 12 years in this league that you’re not entitled to anything. It’s all about being able to earn your spot and prove yourself."

FALCONS' KIRK COUSINS DISCUSSES FUTURE WITH TEAM DESPITE REQUESTING OFFSEASON TRADE

Cousins signed a four-year contract with the Falcons, reportedly worth up to $180 million, but lost the starting job to Penix with just three weeks left in the season. He went 7-7 and threw for 3,508 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. Penix closed out the season going 1-2 as starting quarterback. 

"It hurts to go into work, but you got to be an adult," Cousins said in the episode about being benched. "You've got to be a grown man and handle it with maturity. I feel sorry for myself and it's hard to do, but that's what you got to do. And so that's kind of where my focus went."

Cousins attended the Falcons' mandatory minicamp last month, despite his absence from OTAs and offseason request for a trade.

Taylor Fritz defeated Karen Khachanov in four sets in the men’s quarterfinal at Wimbledon on Tuesday to become the first male American tennis player to make the semifinals at Wimbledon since 2018. 

John Isner was the last American to reach the semifinals of the grass-court tournament. 

Fritz, 27, won 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4). The American dominated the first two sets as he took 40 of his 47 service points and never faced a break in that span.

However, in the third set, the match flipped as Khachanov won eight of the next nine games. Fritz said he had never seen a match turn so quickly on him. 

"I mean he definitely started playing a bit better, but I feel like I gave him a lot of hope with not the best game to start the third set for me. But I’ve never really had a match change like that so drastically where I felt so in control: serving great, playing great, I didn’t feel like my serve was in danger," Fritz said after the match on the court. 

"I felt like I was putting a lot of pressure on his serve and then out of nowhere I feel like I started making a ton of mistakes. Before, I felt like I couldn’t miss and then, all of the sudden, I’m making a ton of mistakes. He’s putting a lot of balls in play, so I really had to fight to get that break back in the fourth and kind of get the match back to neutral."

Fritz fell behind 2-0 in the fourth set, but rallied back to win the set in a tiebreak. The No. 5 ranked player in the world said it feels "great" to get through it. 

"I'm feeling great to get through it. I feel like the match was going so well for me two sets. I’ve never had a match really just flip so quickly. I’m really happy with how I kinda came back in the fourth set and got it done. I think momentum was definitely not going be on my side going into a fifth (set)," Fritz said. 

Fritz came into the match with a 1-4 record in major quarterfinals, including going 0-2 at Wimbledon. The 27-year-old was the runner-up at the U.S. Open last year. 

"It’s an amazing feeling," Fritz said of making his first Wimbledon semifinal.

"Obviously, having played the quarterfinals here twice and having lost in five twice, I don’t think I could have taken another one, so I’m happy. I’m really happy I’m going to get to play the semis here."

Khachanov fell to 0-11 in Grand Slam matches against opponents ranked in the top five with the loss. 

Fritz will either face two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz of Spain or unseeded Cam Norrie of Britain for a berth in the final on Friday.

San Diego Padres star third baseman Manny Machado recorded his 2,000th career hit in the team’s 6-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday at Petco Park. 

Machado, 33, had three hits in the loss. His first, and the 1,999th of Machado’s career, came in the first inning when he laced a line drive to left field off Diamondbacks’ starting pitcher Zac Gallen. 

The six-time All-Star didn’t waste any time getting his 2,000th hit. In his next at-bat, Machado ripped a hanging breaking ball off the glove of Diamondbacks’ shortstop Geraldo Perdomo to become the 297th player in MLB history to have 2,000 hits.

Machado became the fifth active player with 2,000 hits and the 12th player in MLB history to have 350 home runs and 2,000 hits by his age-32 season. 

The star infielder tipped his hat to the standing crowd while he stood on first base. 

Machado’s 2,001st hit of his career came in the eighth inning, when he hammered a slider into the left field bleachers for a solo home run, his 15th home run of the season, to cut the Diamondbacks' lead down to 6-3.

"It's special and an honor to be a part of that list," Machado said of being in the 2,000 hit-club. "Definitely would have wanted the victory, but stepping away from that, it's pretty cool."

The two-time Silver Slugger was glad to achieve the feat in front of Padres fans. 

"Doing it in front of the home crowd definitely is a lot better, and hopefully there’s more," Machado said. 

Machado made his debut with Baltimore in 2012 and got 977 hits with the Baltimore Orioles before being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers on July 18, 2018. He had 73 hits with the Dodgers before signing as a free agent with the Padres on Feb. 21, 2019.

He has 950 hits with the Padres, which ranks fifth on the franchise list. Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn had 3,141 in his 20-season career.

Machado was voted the starting third baseman for the National League All-Star team this year as he in the midst of another strong season. Machado has a .293 batting average to go along with 15 home runs and 53 RBI while he continues to shine defensively at third base.

Pettis Norman, a former NFL tight end who was also known for organizing civil rights marches in the 1960s and 1970s, has died, the Dallas Cowboys announced on Monday. He was 86.

Norman played for the Cowboys from 1962 to 1970 and wrapped his career with the San Diego Chargers, competing for them from 1971 to 1973.

"We mourn the passing of former tight end and civil rights advocate Pettis Norman," the Cowboys said in a statement posted on X. "Known for his selfless leadership, commitment to community, and dedication to creating equal opportunity, we were incredibly proud and grateful to share his remarkable story recently."

Norman attended Johnson C. Smith University before he was selected in the American Football League draft by the Dallas Texans in 1962. He never played a down for the Texans before he joined the Cowboys.

He was the first player from Johnson C. Smith University to play in the NFL.

"Johnson C. Smith University honors the life of Pettis Norman ’62 – the first Golden Bull in the NFL," the school said in a statement on X. "A Dallas Cowboy, CIAA Hall of Famer, and proud JCSU alumnus, he was more than an athlete – he was a trailblazer. Rest well, legend."

Norman’s civil rights advocacy was highlighted in a recent profile from the Cowboys.

He was one of the players who influenced legendary head coach Tom Landry to change the way hotel rooms were distributed, which was originally by race.

"I tried to do whatever I could do help change the kinds of things that society had operated under for such a long time," Norman previously said.

He was also the founder of the Dallas Together Forum. HBCU Gameday described it as an initiative that helped influence Dallas corporations to "improve minority hiring practices and increase contracts for women- and minority-owned businesses."

Norman played in 162 games in the NFL. He caught 183 passes for 2,492 yards and 15 touchdowns.

The Chicago Cubs dismantled their National League Central rival St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, but the Wrigley crowd still found something to boo.

Of course, it is tradition for a guest to sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh-inning stretch at Cubs home games – this time, it was Alex Cooper's turn.

Cooper is the host of "Call Her Daddy," the podcast that hit it big on Barstool Sports before heading to Spotify and then SiriusXM.

She's an expert on the mic, but these skills did not translate, and the crowd made it known.

Cooper did say before she began singing that the crowd had "never seen something like this before." She was right.

Cooper was joined by two others in the booth, and the crowd was not impressed. They certainly did their best to put on a show – however, it apparently missed the mark.

The social media reactions were priceless.

"What Alex Cooper did at Wrigley should be studied forever because if you get boo’ed for ANYTHING while the #Cubs are beating the Cardinals by 11 runs you definitely deserved it," one user wrote.

Another even said that it was worse than Roseanne Barr's national anthem performance.

Others weren't much kinder.

Cooper's recent deal with Sirius XM, signed in 2023, was worth $125 million. She recently made shocking headlines when she accused her former Boston University soccer coach, Nancy Feldman, of sexual harassment.

The accusations were made in a Hulu documentary, "Call Her Alex," where she claimed Feldman "fixate on me way more than any other teammate of mine," including touching her leg and asking about her sex life. 

The university issued a statement last month, saying it has "zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment."

"We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office," it said in a statement. "We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all."

Nearly 100 BU alumni spoke out in support of Feldman as well, saying that "never felt unsafe."

Feldman's 418 victories rank 22nd all time in women's college soccer.

The Cubs were winning 11-0, the final score of the game, when the performance occurred.

Former boxing star Julio César Chávez defended his son on Monday following his arrest by U.S. immigration officials outside of his home in Los Angeles last week.

Julio César Chávez Jr. was accused of overstaying his visa and lying on a green card application. Additionally, he has an active warrant for his arrest in Mexico for alleged arms and drug trafficking and possible ties to the Sinaloa cartel.

The elder Chávez spoke to Mexican media about his son.

"It’s complicated, there’s a lot of talk, but we’re calm because we know my son’s innocence," he told El Heraldo newspaper. "My son will be anything you want, anything, but he is not a criminal and less everything he’s being accused of."

An investigation into the younger boxer started in 2019 after a complaint filed by the U.S. against the Sinaloa cartel for organized crime, human trafficking, arms trafficking and drug trafficking, Mexico Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero said on Sunday.

MEXICO PRESIDENT EXPECTS BOXER JULIO CÉSAR CHÁVEZ JR. TO BE DEPORTED, HOPES HE SERVES SENTENCE IN HOME COUNTRY

Chávez Jr.’s lawyers requested at least five injunctions in Mexico but they were all rejected because the boxer was in the U.S., Gertz Manero said.

"He knows a lot of people, we live in Culiacan, it would be impossible not to know all of the people that are doing illicit stuff, but that does not mean nothing," Chávez Sr. said. "In my time I met everybody, and they did not come after me."

He vowed that his son will fight the chargers if he his transferred to Mexico.

Chávez Jr. was arrested days after he lost to Jake Paul in a boxing match.

"Why did they let him fight? My son has been paying taxes in the United States for three years, and now in Mexico they’re accusing him of money laundering," the elder Chávez added. "Yes, he knows those people, but that doesn’t mean I’m a drug trafficker. Let’s trust the law."

A Kansas City radio host and podcaster ripped Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as new photos surfaced of him celebrating the Fourth of July holiday with his wife, Brittany.

Kevin Kietzman, the host of "Uncanceled" on KCMO Talk Radio and the "Kevin Kietzman Has Issues" podcast, suggested that Mahomes gained weight over the offseason and demanded the quarterback "stop the fast food."

"Vacation photos are popping up of Patrick Mahomes, and he's fat. I'm gonna say it, and I'm gonna tell you the truth, that’s why you hit the play button, he's an embarrassment," he said. "You're a $500 million quarterback, you've made all these comments in the offseason that ‘We're gonna do our talking on the field, we got our butts kicked in the Super Bowl, we're coming back with a vengeance.’ Dude, you're fat. Your belly would be fat at my pool, hanging out with us, 60 year olds. My skin is flabbier than yours, I get it. Stop. Stop the fast food. Do a sit-up. Do something.

"Yeah, I'm sure he's worked out and he's strengthened his arm and he's done all kind of different things, quarterback things, but there's no training to this man. I don't understand it. He's not a kid anymore, you can't just run through your NFL career eating Taco Bell all the time and Door Dashing fried chicken, which he loves.… It's time dude. It's time.

CHIEFS' PATRICK MAHOMES OPENS UP ABOUT BEST ADVICE HE'S GOTTEN FROM TOM BRADY

"Going to camp and getting in shape is like 1970s baseball – nobody does that anymore. That’s not how it works at the highest level. I only do this as a precaution because I love the guy. He's an enormous talent. But I cannot stand it when I see somebody just sit back on their talent and not be the best that they are."

Mahomes had previously gone viral for having a so-called "dad bod" and even teamed up with Coors Light to lean into that notion.

"I’ll also say I have a great body for a quarterback," he told Time Magazine last year. "You’ve got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take."

Mahomes is listed at 225 pounds as he gets ready for Year 9.

Kletzman said it "wasn't a weight thing" for him but rather a core issue and implored the quarterbac kto "do some crunches."
