In recent years, the Miami Dolphins haven’t drafted players with intent to make them immediate starters. That will have to change in the 2025 NFL draft.
While players like Chop Robinson, Patrick Paul, and Cam Smith joined position groups that already had experienced veterans (when healthy, at least), the Dolphins currently have gaping holes at a few spots that can’t be ignored. General manager Chris Grier isn’t planning on filling all the team’s remaining holes with draft picks, though.
The PGA Tour’s 2025 FedEx Cup season is making the turn this week. Half of the 36 regular-season events, which conclude at the Wyndham Championship in early August, concluded last week with the RBC Heritage and Corales Puntacana Championship.
Allow me to quote two of the great philosophers, first being my dad, who always could be counted on to say, “Half the fun is over, half is still to come.” Indeed, while it may be hard to fathom that the season is already halfway over, we are just getting to the good stuff.
Kayla Harrison is hoping Amanda Nunes does indeed return to the UFC.
Talk of Nunes (23-5 MMA, 16-2 UFC) coming out of retirement amplified when the former UFC two-division champion showed up to the UFC 316 pre-fight press conference. UFC CEO Dana White was asked if Nunes would face the winner of bantamweight champion Julianna Peña vs. Harrison (18-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), which serves as the UFC 316 co-main event June 7 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Nunes was seen nodding repeatedly when the camera panned to her.
The Oklahoma Sooners have made a significant impact to the roster in the transfer portal. They’ve added impact players on both sides of the ball. John Mateer is the headliner from a strong winter portal class, but Jim Nagy, Brent Venables and the Sooners staff have made splashes in the spring portal window as well.
Oklahoma added running back Jaydn Ott who spent three seasons at Cal. He racked up 3,333 total yards and 30 total touchdowns but battled an injury in 2024. He brings big-play ability to Norman, along with his elite collegiate production.
Although it’s highly unlikely, the Dallas Cowboys could still trade up in the first round of the NFL draft. Moving and shaking used to be the modus operandi of Jerry Jones, but the shaking has been kept to a minimum in recent years. Falling back in the draft to acquire more picks has been the only first-round trades of recent memory, having to go all the way back to the 2012 bundle paid to grab CB Morris Claiborne for Dallas to be selectively aggressive.
But it can’t be ruled out, despite there being no fourth-round pick to bundle up.

The Open has not been played at Trump Turnberry since 2009, but the R&A, the golf governing body that runs the major championship, appears to want to see the President’s course added back to the rotation.
At the launch event for this year’s Open that will be held at Royal Portrush, recently-appointed R&A chief executive Mark Darbon said he would “love” for Turnberry to host another Open in the near future.
Darbon, who took over his role with the R&A in 2024, explained that it’s the logistics involved with hosting an Open at Turnberry that are the biggest holdups.
What happens when you have a college athlete not play a down of football, but then decides to leave school after one semester with a bag full of NIL payments? This is occurring across college sports right now, with the latest example being the Nico Iamaleava saga that also involved his younger brother, Madden, and UCLA quarterback Joey Aguilar.
Let me preface this by saying that this is only the latest example of what’s been going on behind the scenes involving collectives in collegiate sports.
