The brother of late NFL legend and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman was involved in an early Sunday morning car crash that caused a post office to catch on fire.
San Jose Police are investigating a crash that occurred around 3 a.m. local time at the post office in question, per NBC Bay Area, and Richard Tillman was the main suspect as he was taken into custody in relation to the fire.
When police arrived, they found a vehicle drove into the post office and caught on fire, which also caused the building to flame up.
Richard Tillman also told officers that he was Pat Tillman’s brother at the scene, according to the outlet. He said he was live streaming the situation on social media as well.
Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office jail records confirm Richard Tillman was booked on Sunday, though no charges have been made publicly known. He also does not have a bail amount with a court appearance scheduled for July 23.
San Jose Police is working with San Jose Fire Department arson investigators, as well as the US Postal Inspectors, to determine who will lead the investigation into how the fire occurred in the building.
Pat Tillman was an NFL star for the Arizona Cardinals who famously left his career in football to enlist in the United States Army in May 2002. The decision came after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Tillman served in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army Ranger, making several combat tours before being killed in the Afghanistan mountains.
While it was initially reported that Tillman was killed by enemy fire, the Pentagon told his family that he was killed by friendly fire. In 2007, the Pentagon ruled that Tillman’s death was accidental.
Scottie Scheffler’s dominance on the golf course continued on Sunday, as he cruised to a victory at The Open Championship, marking his second major win this year.
Just as he did at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow earlier this golf season, he celebrated with his wife, Meredith, and their son, Bennett after the win at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland on Sunday.
Scheffler got a huge cheer from the crowd as the famous Claret Jug was passed over to him, but it was his son who got the crowd going after making some moves to celebrate with his father.
Cameras caught the moment Bennett was trying to make his way to the 18th green at Royal Portrush to join his dad in celebration. However, the 1-year-old had some trouble getting there.
As he tried to run up the hill, Bennett took a little tumble and decided to remain on all fours as the crowd sighed in unison. Scheffler made his way over with the Claret Jug in hand and picked up his son, with the crowd cheering once more.
It was yet another proud father-son moment for the Scheffler family – moments that are becoming all too common in one of the hardest sports on the planet.
Dominant is putting it lightly for how Scheffler has been playing this year, and that was on display for four rounds overseas at The Open. He posted a final-round 68 to cap an incredible weekend and add to his major resume.
Scheffler only needs a U.S. Open victory to complete the career Grand Slam.
Scheffler has also tallied four wins on the PGA Tour this season, including the Byron Nelson in May which predated the PGA Championship victory. He also held off a surging Ben Griffin at The Memorial to add another trophy to his case.
And in his 15 events played on the PGA Tour this season, Scheffler has finished top-25 in each of them, while earning a top-10 mark in 12 as well. He has an official money mark of $16.1 million while being well ahead in FedEx Cup Standings (4,056 points) with Rory McIlroy behind him in second place (3,219).
Simply put, the world number one golfer just doesn’t seem to be slowing down, collecting yet another major and doing what any father would want in those happiest of moments.
Scheffler can’t stop making lifelong memories with his family.
Oakmont Country Club made the decision to ban PGA Tour pro Wyndham Clark from playing on its course after damaging the locker room at this year’s U.S. Open.
While Clark hopes to return to the historic Pennsylvania club, he understands the ban in place.
"That’s up to them," Clark said, via ESPN, after finishing his final round at Royal Portrush in The Open on Sunday. "I really don’t know. I would hope so. It’s a fantastic course and place, but that’s up to them.
"I did something awful, and I’m really sorry for it. Hopefully, they have it in their heart to forgive me, and maybe in the future I’ll be able to play there."
John Lunch, Oakmont Country Club president, sent a letter to members before The Open began in Northern Ireland saying that Clark was banned following discussions with the United States Golf Association (USGA) as well as the club board.
"Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior," Lynch’s letter read, per ESPN. "Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property.
"This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board."
The letter also noted that Clark could be permitted to play at Oakmont again if he pays for the damages he made, makes a "meaningful contribution" to a charity selected by the OCC Board, and undergoes counseling and/or anger management therapy.
Clark said he has seen the requirements, and has reached out about them.
"Obviously, it's a no-brainer to pay for the damages. That was a given," Clark said. "Then, obviously all the apologies, and I want to give back to the community because I hurt a great place in Pittsburgh, so I wanted to do anything I can to show them that what happened there was not a reflection of who I am and won't happen again."
Meanwhile, Clark did say he was "hoping it was going to be private" instead of seeing a letter being sent to all Oakmont members.
It will be quite some time until Oakmont hosts a major again, as it’s scheduled to be the home of the 2033 U.S. Open. That will also be the final year of Clark’s 10-year exemption for the tournament after winning it at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023.
Clark posted a 6-under 65 on Sunday to finish out his major tournament schedule this season, finishing 11-under to tie fourth at Royal Portrush.
President Donald Trump threatened to hang up the Washington Commanders’ plans to build a new stadium in D.C. in the balance if the team didn’t revert back to the Redskins moniker.
Trump put the pressure on the Commanders, and the Cleveland Guardians, on Sunday – calling both organizations out in two posts made on Truth Social.
"My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way," Trump wrote in a second Truth Social post. "I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’ I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington. The Team would be much more valuable, and the Deal would be more exciting for everyone."
The president added that the Guardians should follow suit.
"Cleveland should do the same with the Cleveland Indians. The Owner of the Cleveland Baseball Team, Matt Dolan, who is very political, has lost three Elections in a row because of that ridiculous name change," Trump added. "What he doesn’t understand is that if he changed the name back to the Cleveland Indians, he might actually win an Election. Indians are being treated very unfairly. MAKE INDIANS GREAT AGAIN (MIGA)!"
Paul Dolan is the team owner. Matt Dolan holds a minority stake in the organization.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Commanders for comment.
Trump made the original demand for the teams to change their names earlier on Sunday.
"The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. "Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past.
"Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!"
Guardians president Chris Antonetti responded to Trump’s pressure in the middle of the afternoon. He said it wasn’t actually something the organization had on its mind.
"But I would say generally, I understand that there are very different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago," he said, via Cleveland.com. "Obviously it’s a decision we’ve made and we’ve gotten the opportunity to build the brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future."
The Guardians had no additional comment on Trump’s posts.
Commanders team owner Josh Harris joined Trump, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in the Oval Office when the deal for the RFK Stadium site was announced.
Congressional lawmakers supported Harris going back to the old stadium site on the condition that the team and NFL would honor the old Redskins logo. Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., said in November he would support the organization going forward with its plan after "good faith negotiations" with both entities.
"We were calling out leaders in case of really, woke gone wrong," Daines said at the time. "The irony that they were canceling Native American culture as the DEI movement went way too far. This is honoring a Blackfeet chief who was born in Montana. He is highly esteemed. The Blackfeet tribe of Montana, their current chairman and tribal council signed a letter in strong support to bring the logo back. It honors Indian Country.
"We have good discussions with the NFL and with the Commanders. There’s good faith in negotiations going forward that’s going to allow this logo to be used again. Perhaps revenues going to a foundation that could help Native Americans in sports and so forth. We’re making good progress and, based on the good faith negotiations, I made a decision to support this bill yesterday in the committee."
But Harris made clear in an interview on Fox News Channel’s "Special Report" that there were no plans to bring back the Redskins name.
"The Commanders’ name actually has taken on an amazing kind of element in our building," Harris responded to Bret Baier’s question about the Redskins name coming back as part of this new stadium deal. "So, the people that certain types of players that are tough, that love football, are delegated Commanders and Jayden [Daniels], for example, is a Commander, and they're ranked.
"And, you know, the business staff has gotten into it, and obviously, we're in a military city here. There's more military personnel than anywhere else, so we're kind of moving forward with the Commanders name, excited about that, and not looking back."
Corey Adams, a freshman with the Ole Miss Rebels football team, was killed in a shooting in Tennessee on Saturday night, officials said. He was 18.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said the incident occurred in Cordova, which is located just east of Memphis. Officials said the responding deputies discovered a male suffering from a gunshot wound and provided "life-saving measures" until the fire department arrived.
The victim was later pronounced dead at the scene. Adams was later identified as the victim.
Officials said deputies found multiple shell casings at the scene and later learned that four other gunshot victims checked into area hospitals. They were listed in non-critical condition.
Ole Miss later released a statement on Adams’ death.
"We are devastated to learn that Corey Adams, a freshman on the team, passed away last night in Cordova, Tennessee," the school said. "While our program is trying to cope with this tragic loss, our thoughts are with his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
"Out of respect for his family, we will not be commenting further at this time. We ask the Ole Miss community to keep Corey in their thoughts and respect the privacy of everyone involved."
Adams was a standout high school football player at Edna Karr in New Orleans. The defensive lineman was rated as a three-star recruiting prospect. He was a two-time first-team All-State selection.
He had 51 tackles and 12 sacks during his junior year of high school.
Scheffler won the Open Championship for the first time in his career. The best finish he had previously was tied for seventh last year when the major event was played at Royal Troon Golf Club in Scotland.
This year, Scheffler walked the fairways of Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland and made it seem like another day at the office.
He started off behind the pack with a first-round 68 but got into the zone in the second round with a 64. He eight birdies in the second round and it propelled him up the leaderboard. A third-round 67 put him in good contention to win the title.
Then, on Sunday, it was more consistent and solid play all around.
He finished with five birdies and only one double bogey in the round. He never wavered in the final round and no one really ever came close to catching him.
Scheffler has four wins in 2025. He won the Byron Nelson in May and followed that up with a PGA Championship. In June, he held off Ben Griffin at the Memorial.
Harris English finished in second place with a 13-under par. He shot a 66 in the final round of the tournament. It was the best finish in the major of his career. Before Sunday, the best finish came in 2013 when he was tied for 15th.
Chris Gottrup had an incredible tournament as well, finishing 12-under par. He carded a final-round 66 and finished in third place.
LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau may have had a tough time at Royal Portrush but he made a mountainous climb back into the top 10 when his round was finished.
He shot a 78 in the first round and was near the bottom of the leaderboard when he entered the second round. However, a 65 in the second round helped him make the cut. He shot a 68 in the third and a 64 in the final round.
He gained 24 spots to break into a tie for 10th.
The Open Championship is the last major of the season. PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars will now finish up their seasons on their respective tours and look toward the Ryder Cup at the end of September.
Carter Coughlin, a Minnesota native and former New York Giants linebacker, offered a stark warning to the city of Minneapolis if Omar Fateh is elected mayor.
Fateh announced on Saturday that Minnesota’s branch of the Democratic Party, the Democratic Farmer Labor Party (DFL), endorsed him in the mayoral race over incumbent Jacob Frey.
Coughlin, who was born in Eden Prairie and played college football for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, offered his opinion on Fateh’s policies and provided a grim outlook,
"First, attack the policy, not the person. People need to grow up," he wrote on X.
"Second, in a city that has experienced unimaginable destruction and racial tension, these policies would send the city another 10 steps back. MPLS needs to be rebuilt, this will do the opposite. Pray for wisdom."
Fateh has received many comparisons to New York City's Zohran Mamdani. Like Mamdani, Fateh is a Muslim democratic socialist and, at 35, a fellow member of Generation Y.
Fateh, a son of Somali immigrants, became the first Somali American elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2020. He pledges that, if elected mayor, he would raise the city's minimum wage, increase the supply of affordable housing and combat what he calls "police violence."
He thanked DFL for the endorsement.
"I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor," he wrote on X. "This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us."
Fox News’ Andres Hagstrom contributed to this report.
Ben McDonald, the Baltimore Orioles' No. 1 overall pick of the 1989 MLB Draft, revealed in a social media post on Friday he suffered serious injuries after he fell 25 feet from a deer stand.
McDonald posted a video of himself in a hospital bed as he tried to put the pieces together on what led to his fall.
"This is what a severe concussion looks like and sounds like (I still don’t remember anything) Apparently I fell out of a deer stand 25 feet up yesterday morning," he wrote on X.
"I’m fine and appreciate everyone checking on me. Very lucky…. concussion and 2 cracked vertebra’s…. I’ll be back in #Birdland soon calling Orioles games. Thank you all for all (your) thoughts and (prayers) and thank you to the doctors. See yall soon."
McDonald is an avid hunter and expressed as much in a social media post in December.
At the time, he wrote that he was hunting when he began to think about his dad. Suddenly, a giant buck approached him, and he was able to bag him.
"I normally don’t share too many of my thoughts on social but this is too good not to share. I lost my dad in January… sitting in a bowstand yesterday enjoying hunting season without him for the first time gave me a chance to reflect on all the hours we spent together on ball fields, basketball courts, and in the deer woods," McDonald wrote. "I was having a conversation with him telling him how much I miss him and thanking him for everything he did for us and our family and the many sacrifices he made.
"I had a good cry as I wish he was still here for one more hunting season or just to have one more talk…. 5 minutes after I dried my eyes and focused back on the hunt…. out walked an absolute giant…. this buck could have gone anywhere in the 6 acre plot but followed a doe to 24 yards under my tree…. the shot was true as he bounded out in the middle of the plot and tipped over in seconds!
"No doubt this was divine intervention courtesy of the man upstairs and #PawPaw…. the great outdoors is home for me… it's where I’m probably most comfortable! It’s not always about the harvest it’s about making memories! This buck will always be know as #PawPaw’s Buck!"
McDonald was a star pitcher at LSU before the Orioles selected him No. 1 overall in 1989. He became a fairly serviceable pitcher in his prime.
He had a 3.91 ERA with 894 strikeouts in 211 appearances. He spent the final two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. The final season of his career was in 1997.
He’s currently a color commentator for MASN and on Orioles’ radio broadcasts.
President Donald Trump implored the owners of the NFL’s Washington Commanders and MLB’s Cleveland Guardians to revert to the organizations’ old nicknames in a social media post.
Daniel Snyder changed Washington’s team name from the Washington Redskins to the Washington Football Team before the start of the 2020 season amid a summer of racial tensions. The team eventually became the Washington Commanders, and Snyder sold the team to Josh Harris.
In July 2021, team owner Paul Dolan announced the Cleveland Indians would become the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland had been known as the Indians since 1915. Dolan previously said the decision to explore the name change came from "an awakening or epiphany" after the death of George Floyd.
Regardless, the push to keep Native American team names has been strong, particularly with the Commanders’ organization. Trump already expressed his belief that the Commanders made a mistake when they changed the name from the Redskins.
"The Washington ‘Whatever’s’ should IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team. There is a big clamoring for this," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. "Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams, with a storied past.
"Our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS, GET IT DONE!!!"
Harris said on Fox News Channel’s "Special Report" in April that the team would not bring back the Redskins name even with plans to build a new stadium in Washington, D.C.
"The Commanders’ name actually has taken on an amazing kind of element in our building," Harris responded to Bret Baier’s question about the Redskins name coming back as part of this new stadium deal. "So, the people that certain types of players that are tough, that love football, are delegated Commanders and Jayden [Daniels], for example, is a Commander, and they're ranked.
"And, you know, the business staff has gotten into it, and obviously, we're in a military city here. There's more military personnel than anywhere else, so we're kind of moving forward with the Commanders name, excited about that, and not looking back."
Guardians team officials have made no indication that the old name would return.
On Saturday, he posted that drug traffickers and human traffickers will keep winning until marijuana is legalized federally.
"Tired of hearing that legal cannabis will cause mass chaos or have people stinking up the streets," he wrote on X. "That’s just ridiculous. We’ve got rules for cigarettes and alcohol, therefore, cannabis would be no different. It’s about freedom. Adults should have the choice.
"Until it’s legal federally, cartels and human traffickers keep winning."
Tyson would hope to see the plant reclassified by the government from a category that is defined by high potential for abuse with no accepted medical use to a category of moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.
It is one of the three points Tyson advocated in a recent letter to President Donald Trump's White House that he wrote in conjunction with other superstar athletes and entertainers, like Kevin Durant and Allen Iverson.
Tyson added he believes the rescheduling of marijuana is the top priority in his federal reform goals. He and his supporters also want to see mass clemency for nonviolent marijuana offenders. Tyson said seeing people going to jail for these offenses was an unfortunate memory of his childhood.
"I always knew that. I always knew that I am friends with those people, people come from my community," Tyson told Fox News Digital.
He recalled one member of his community he watched go to jail when he was a kid and who wasn't released until Tyson became an established fighter.
A recent study by researchers at UC San Francisco determined that eating edible cannabis, such as gummies, has the same cardiovascular risk as smoking marijuana for long-term users. The risk stems from reduced blood vessel function, according to the study, published in JAMA Cardiology May 28.

New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Atlanta Braves third base coach Eddie Perez had words with each other during the teams’ matchup on Saturday night.
The YES Network broadcast showed Chisholm yelling over toward the Braves’ dugout as he stood on third base in the top of the sixth inning. Chisholm appeared to be telling Perez to "cry about it." Perez appeared to signal that Chisholm was going to get hit in the head the next time the batting order came around.
The issue between Chisholm and Perez may have stemmed from the coach getting upset that the star infielder was giving Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe signals during his at-bat. Chisholm was standing at second base and started touching his chest within Volpe’s eyesight.
Perez told reporters after the game he saw Chisholm giving the signals and denied that he was threatening to have someone hit him in the head, rather he tried to tell him to "think," according to the New York Post.
"I’m not entirely sure (what was going on)," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after the game. "I know they were saying some things that will probably be looked at and should be."
Chisholm declined to comment.
The Yankees put together a comeback win after being down 7-2 heading into the sixth inning. New York came back to tie the game at eight apiece in the eighth inning. Then, Trent Grisham hit a go-ahead grand slam to push New York ahead in the ninth. It was Grisham’s 17th dinger of the year.
New York won the game 12-9.
New York improved to 54-44 on the year and Atlanta fell to 43-54.
WNBA stars participating in Saturday night’s All-Star Game wore a message on their T-shirts during warm-ups directed at league officials amid tense collective bargaining agreement (CBA) talks.
Each WNBA All-Star, including Indiana Fever sharpshooter Caitlin Clark who was sidelined for the game, wore the shirt. The clothing also featured the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) logo underneath the message.
The shirts read, "Pay Us What You Owe Us." However, the message didn’t appear to resonate across social media.
WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike praised the players for using their platform.
"I’m just so inspired by the amount of players that showed up, the engagement that was there," she said. "That’s really what it’s all about. Because the more that happens, the more that we’re going to be able to get things done. I think today we’re going to be able to use this conversation to start rolling the ball on things."
Players have argued that business has been booming for the league and they deserve an increase in salaries because of it. The WNBA was a part of a new $2.2 billion rights deal that will start next season and, with the league planning to expand to 18 teams by 2030, the new franchises are paying a $250 million expansion fee.
The New York Post reported last year that the league was projected to lose $40 million during the 2024 season. The new media rights deal is expected to bring at least a $100 million increase from what the league was making on its current rights deal, which the report said was about $60 million in 2024.
Even through the contention, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said Saturday night that she was optimistic a deal would get done.
"I'm still really optimistic that we’ll get something done that would be transformational," she said. "And that, next year at All-Star, we’ll be talking about how great everything is. Obviously there’s a lot of hard work to be done on both sides to get there."
Team Napheesa Collier dominated Team Caitlin Clark from start to finish and picked up a 151-131 win in the WNBA All-Star came on Saturday night behind a record-setting night from the Minnesota Lynx star.
Collier finished with 36 points in the game. She broke the scoring record that was set by Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale in the 2024 game.
Collier is a five-time All-Star and is averaging 23.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as she’s helped the Lynx back to the top of the WNBA standings at the break with a 20-4 record.
Seattle Storm star Skylar Diggins, of Team Collier, set a record for most assists in an All-Star Game and became the first player to record a triple-double in the event. She had 11 points, 11 rebounds and 15 assists
Indiana Fever star Kelsey Mitchell led Team Clark with 20 points.
However, the talk of the game was about the players’ message about a pay increase amid tense collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations during the break.
Each WNBA All-Star wore a shirt that read, "Pay Us What You Owe Us," during warm-ups before the game. Fans were heard chanting "Pay them," during the award presentation.
"The crowd is saying it for us," Collier said when asked to share her message.
WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike praised the players for using their platform.
"I’m just so inspired by the amount of players that showed up, the engagement that was there," she said. "That’s really what it’s all about.

The players met with league officials Thursday, and the sides did not reach a deal. Chicago Sky star Angel Reese was one of many WNBA players who have expressed criticism of the league's handling of negotiations.
"It was an eye-opener for me. Like, hearing the things and hearing the language of things and not things that I was happy to hear. It was disrespectful the things that we were sent back, the proposal that we were sent back," she said Friday.
"It's important to be able to be vocal. If I sit back, it looks like I don't care."
New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu said the players weren't going to settle for "the minimum" in negotiations, while Phoenix Mercury player Satou Sabally called the league's latest CBA offer a "slap in the face."
WNBA stars fired off a message to the league before the All-Star Game Saturday night when players expressed frustration with negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.
The players wore T-shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us" during warmups.
The shirts included the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) logo.
The game featured Team Caitlin Clark against Team Napheesa Collier. Both players were named captains for the game. Both of the All-Stars emerged wearing the shirts. Clark did so even though she is sidelined for the game because of a groin injury.

They listen to us and the owners who represent the Board of Governors," Engelbert said. "I still feel really optimistic that we can get something transformational done by the end. But it’s a process."

Caitlin Clark may be unable to play in the WNBA All-Star Game Saturday because of a groin injury, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to put the competitive fire out on the bench.
Clark was named one of the team captains for the event, and she will be helping New York Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello from the sidelines.
Ahead of the tipoff, Clark was with counterpart Napheesa Collier on ESPN and was asked what her coaching mentality was going to be for the game.
"I think I gotta heckle the refs a little bit," she said. "I don’t know who’s reffing yet, but that will determine how much I’m going to heckle them. Usually, when it’s an All-Star Game, it’s some better ones, but maybe I could get a technical (foul) or something.
"Honestly, just have a good time."
The Indiana Fever star then wondered whether the All-Star Game had ever had an ejection.
Clark is no stranger to working WNBA officials. She’s routinely talking to referees or expressing her displeasure with some of the calls, like a lot of her WNBA colleagues.
Before she left Tuesday night’s game with a groin injury, Clark had to be pulled away from a referee during a timeout against the Connecticut Sun.
Clark was named as one of the All-Star Game captains after receiving the most fan votes. She isn’t playing because of an injury she sustained against the Sun.
Richard Jefferson played with the Cleveland Cavaliers and LeBron James for two seasons from 2015 to 2017 and won an NBA championship before his 17-year career ended.
But playing with James, considered the best player in the NBA during the prime of his career, wasn’t always rainbows and butterflies.
Jefferson explained on the "Road Trippin’" podcast the possibility of James getting a buyout from the Los Angeles Lakers and rejoining the Cavaliers at the end of his career.
"Playing with LeBron sucks because you’re trying to win a championship," the current ESPN NBA broadcaster said, via Awful Announcing. "He is one of the most competitive human beings in the history of American sports and sports in general.
"Does it suck when you’re showing up, and he’s already been practicing for four hours and you’re like ‘Oh s---?' When he’s watching film and you mess up a play, and he’s just like, ‘Motherf-----, what are you doing?’"
But Jeferson said the upside was he was playing with one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
"And it’s like, ‘Yeah, those are the cons.’ But there were cons for playing with (Michael) Jordan. There were cons for playing with Kobe (Bryant). There were cons playing with players that were so great that they demanded excellence. There were cons for playing for Pat Riley or (Gregg) Popovich or (Erik) Spoelstra. There’s always cons when you’re trying to win at the highest level."
James’ future with the Lakers may be in question, but he’s reportedly expected to be with the team.
Chicago Sky All-Star Angel Reese opened up about some of the cyberbullying she’s experienced since she played for the 2023 LSU Tigers women’s basketball national championship team.
Reese said in an interview with ESPN that she’s since started a campaign to raise awareness about cyberbullying since then.
"I’ve experienced it. It was hard for me in the beginning," Reese told ESPN’s Elle Duncan.
"After I won the national championship, my whole life changed, and that was the first time I had seen negativity like that on social media. I thought I had a huge following before, but it skyrocketed to millions. It was bigger than basketball when they were finding my address, my car. I had to change my whole lifestyle.
"It doesn’t bother me as much anymore just because I feel like I’ve built a thicker skin, but not everybody has a thick skin. And that’s why I think players always come up to me and ask me, ‘Are you OK? How are you doing?’ I don’t really know what’s genuine, but I’m starting to open up and branch a little bit."
Reese's 2023 national championship game was highlighted by her incident with Caitlin Clark. It started the on-court rivalry between the two women's basketball stars.
Reese said she’s gotten closer to the All-Stars on her team this year, more so than in 2024 when it was the WNBA team going up against the U.S. Olympic team before the Paris Games.
"This is the closest I’ve been to these players this year. Last year, I wasn’t that close. When I was in Phoenix (the host of the 2024 All-Star Game), I was very quiet," she explained. "I didn’t talk to anybody. And that’s what I really love about this league, being able to have sisters.
"I don’t have any sisters. Being able to have sisters here who really, really care about me and knowing I can take that and transform that into the community. There’s a lot of cyberbullying going on. Not everybody is as strong as I am, and I was like, ‘Why not flip a negative into a positive and give back?’ I try to give back as much as I can."
Reese will play in her second WNBA All-Star Game. She’s averaging 14 points and 12.6 rebounds for the Sky.
Chris Martin has been the talk of social media this weekend after an embarrassing jumbotron moment during a Coldplay concert caught the CEO of Astronomer and its head of human resources cozying up.
A different Chris Martin took the mound for the Texas Rangers against the Detroit Tigers Friday night.
Tigers broadcaster Jason Benetti used the moment to reference the controversy.
"CEOs beware …. Chris Martin is here. Out of the Rangers bullpen," Benetti said as Martin took the mound.
Benetti was far from the only person in the sports world to poke fun at the moment.
Martin has pitched in the majors since the 2014 season with the Colorado Rockies. He’s played for the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox. He won a World Series with the Braves in 2021.
He struck out one batter in his relief appearance, and the Rangers won the game, 2-0.
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned from his job Saturday.
"As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," the company said in a statement Saturday to Fox News. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and, recently, that standard was not met."
Astronomer said Byron tendered his resignation, and the board of directors accepted.
The unspecified relationship between Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot was revealed to the nation Wednesday night when they were spotted by the concert's "kiss cam."
Cabot hurriedly turned and covered her face, while Byron awkwardly ducked behind a stadium seat, catching Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin's gaze.
"Oh, look at these two," Martin joked to the crowd. "All right, c'mon, you're Ok. Oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy."
A social media frenzy started almost immediately, which led to Byron’s resignation.
Scottie Scheffler was the leader at the end of the third round of The Open Saturday at Royal Portrush.
Scheffler, 29, continued his dominant play Saturday, finishing 4-under par to move to 14-under for the tournament.
The three-time major champion played bogey-free golf and had an eagle and two birdies. Scheffler’s eagle came on the seventh hole while his two birdies were on the eighth and 16th holes, respectively.
If Scheffler can hold and win tomorrow, he will be three-fourths of the way to the career slam and win his second major tournament of the year. Scheffler won the PGA Championship in May.
If Scheffler does win The Open Sunday, he will join an exclusive list of players to win the Masters, PGA Championship and The Open before turning 30.
The only three players to achieve that feat are Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
While Scheffler stayed in first place atop the leaderboard, there was a lot of movement behind him.
Matt Fitzpatrick entered the third round in second place at 9-under par but shot even par and dropped into third place. Li Haotong overtook second place from Fitzpatrick and shot 2-under par to move to 10-under par for the tournament.
There is a four-way tie for fourth place as four different players surged to put themselves into contention going into the final round.
Rory McIlroy shot 5-under par to move to 8-under for the tournament. Chris Gotterup, Harris English and Tyrrell Hatton all went 3-under par Saturday to improve to 8-under par for the tournament.
Brian Harman entered the day in a tie for third at 8-under par but struggled Saturday and went 2-over par to drop into a tie for ninth place.
Below is a list of the leaderboard entering the final round of The Open:
1. Scheffler, 14-under par
2. Li, 10-under
3. Fitzpatrick, 9-under
T-4. McIlroy, 8-under

President Donald Trump recently suggested that he believed the organization made a mistake changing the name.
Buck, a Native American, told TMZ Sports he wants to talk to Trump about the name and would tell him, "Stand with us and stand for common sense.
"It's like your grandma passed away, and your grandpa marries a new woman, and she comes in and takes all the pictures out of the house and puts hers up," he added.
"It's like, you just lost your family. It was devastating to everybody."
Commanders owner Josh Harris told Bret Baier on "Special Report" in April that, despite his plan to bring the team back to Washington, D.C., at the site of the old RFK Stadium, the Redskins name wouldn’t be coming back.
"The Commanders’ name actually has taken on an amazing kind of element in our building," Harris said. "So, the people that certain types of players that are tough, that love football, are delegated Commanders, and Jayden [Daniels], for example, is a Commander, and they're ranked.
"And, you know, the business staff has gotten into it, and, obviously, we're in a military city here. There's more military personnel than anywhere else. So, we're kind of moving forward with the Commanders name, excited about that and not looking back."
While he may not have changed the name, Trump thinks any team that wins will stick with fans no matter what. That’s exactly what Washington did last season, reaching the NFC championship game for the first time in almost three decades under new quarterback Jayden Daniels.
"But, you know, winning can make everything sound good," Trump said earlier this month. "So, if they’re winning, all of a sudden Commanders sounds good. But I wouldn’t have changed the name."
Fox News' Scott Thompson contributed to this report.
