There have been some problems at this year’s edition of the US Open. First, players dealt with intense heat. Then you had a cloud of pot smoke hanging above one of the courts like a Dead & Company show was happening next door. Then, on Thursday night some dopes staged an environmental protest, one of whom glued his feet to the stands.
Why? I don’t know. I’m not even sure they really know why they did it.
But speaking of environmentalist dopes, the Associated Press pointed out yet another issue plaguing the US Open: the number of tennis balls.

The latest news and notes heading into Week 1 of the NFL season …
• Travis Kelce really did push to play Thursday night against the Lions. In the morning, the Chiefs worked him out to see where the swelling and pain from a bone bruise on his knee stood. Kelce, to his credit, was honest with the trainers, saying he still had some discomfort in the leg, while telling them he still thought he could play.
Adesanya shocked the world twice at UFC 243, and it all started with one of the most memorable walkouts in the sport.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott spent nearly half a day under sedation at one point this offseason, but it wasn’t for any kind of medical procedure. It was to help him get through a marathon tattoo session.
There’s a lot of pressure on the Cowboys quarterback to lead the team on a successful postseason run this year. All that pressure has got to be taxing. Fortunately, he got at least 11 hours of pretty good rest while getting the intricate new ink this past spring.

If not Miami, give me a viable option for Damian Lillard?—Stephen, Fort Worth
Right now, the Heat are the Blazers’ only option. I’ve been checking in with teams I believed might be interested for weeks and have not picked up a whiff of intrigue from any of them. The combination of Lillard’s contract (four years and $175 million remaining) and Portland’s asking price (more significant than the Tyler Herro/first-round-picks-centric package Miami is offering) has left the Heat as the lone suitor.
For now.
