McLaren driver Lando Norris was on hand to see Red Bull’s Max Verstappen get a new Hungarian Grand Prix trophy after he accidentally broke the first one during podium celebrations.
In July, Verstappen won the Hungarian Grand Prix — just like he has won all of the last 9 races — and was given an ornate porcelain trophy, that we soon learned was also very fragile.
Norris finished P2 and joined Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez who finished 3rd on the podium.

The New Orleans Saints are going with the kid.
The Saints traded veteran kicker Wil Lutz to Denver on Tuesday and will keep rookie kicker Blake Grupe. What New Orleans receives in the deal was still developing. The NFL Network reported the story first.
Blake Grupe Beat Out Wil Lutz For Job
Lutz, 29, has been with the Saints since the 2016 season. He missed all of 2021 with a core muscle injury that required multiple surgeries. Lutz returned in 2022, but suffered through his worst season as a pro, making just 74 percent of his field goal attempts (23 of 31).

U.S. Captain Zach Johnson made his six captain’s picks Tuesday and Keegan Bradley was left off the team.
U.S. Captain Zach Johnson has made his six captain’s picks for next month’s Ryder Cup.
He selected Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Sam Burns, Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, and Rickie Fowler.
These players join Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa, and Xander Schauffele on Team USA.
LeBron James always has basketball on his mind, even when it comes to his bedtime outfits, apparently. The Lakers star was caught on camera by his wife, Savannah, while he was wearing an incredible basketball-themed onesie, complete with hood and all.
James tells his wife he’s “getting ready for bed” and explains his wild fit is “his night clothes,” to which Savannah responds that he looks like he’s “about to bounce up out of here.”
It didn’t stop there, as elder son Bronny James was next to arrive in the video, and he showed off his own fit.
The Titans have a new kicker.
Cutdown day is here, and here’s what we know with the 4 p.m. ET deadline approaching …
• Jonathan Taylor’s situation should have at least some temporary finality (is that an oxymoron?) today, with the Colts planning to shut down trade talks after the 4 p.m. ET cutdown deadline.
So where does that leave everyone?
I think a fair scenario to project would be Indianapolis getting a second-round pick, plus a Day 3 pick (and a relatively high one) for Taylor, with Taylor landing a contract somewhere between $13 and $14 million per year, and about $40 million over the first three years.
The same mailbag you know and love…just a day ahead of schedule.
Jon,Hope you’re enjoying the U.S. Open but a quick question. What happens if the WTA picks Saudi Arabia for the finals and the top 8 lock arms and don’t show up? Should we assume that the players are already on board given how far down the road this seems?

• So for all the gripping early-round action at the 2023 U.S. Open, the real intrigue this week is of the behind-the-scenes variety. Specifically, whether the WTA will relocate its year-end finals to Saudi Arabia.
Giants reliever Tyler Rogers has been in the majors for five years now, but seeing him pitch still never gets old.
Rogers, who has spent his entire career with San Francisco, was joined in the Giants’ bullpen this season by his brother, Taylor. The two are twins. They’re both 6’3″ and lanky, with similar facial features, so it’s easy to get them mixed up—unless they’re on the mound. But the biggest difference between Tyler and Taylor isn’t that Tyler is a righty and Taylor is a lefty. It’s that Tyler’s knuckles almost rub the dirt when he pitches.
Kyle McCord will be the man under center for the Ohio State Buckeyes against Indiana.
McCord has been battling it out with Devin Brown for the starting QB role, and head coach Ryan Day had been keeping a tight lid on who would lead the way. That lid is officially now off as of Tuesday.
“I think that Kyle’s consistency the last couple weeks has allowed him to be the starter. He deserves that, but I also think Devin deserves to play in the game as well. How much? All that is still to be determined but we’ve at least come up with that conclusion here,” Day told the media Tuesday.
