On Thursday, a Mississippi Supreme Court denied Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre’s motion to dismiss the charges levied against him in a lawsuit in connection with the Mississippi welfare scandal.
Favre has been accused of using state welfare funds to finance his own personal business endeavors, including the construction of a new volleyball stadium at his alma mater, Southern Miss, and a pharmaceutical startup company. Favre’s first motion to have the charges dismissed was denied in April, and he filed an appeal in May, per Anna Wolfe of Mississippi Today.

WNBA player Kahleah Copper was not impressed by a question she received during a news conference and teed off on the reported who asked it.
The Chicago Sky star was fielding questions after the team’s 88-79 loss to the Minnesota Lynx.
One of the focuses after the game was the lack of scoring from players who came off the bench. However, in the previous game — a 104-96 win over the Dallas Wings — the opposite was the case with plentiful bench scoring.
With that in mind, one reporter asked Copper what bench players needed to do going forward to boost their production.

The ACC has continued to meet regarding possible expansion of teams that are still clinging to the lifeboat that is the Pac-12. There is a problem though, with multiple schools not fully onboard with the potential additions.
After meeting on Wednesday night, ACC presidents decided they would not vote on the potential additions, leaving Cal and Stanford whistling in the wind for the time being. There are numerous holdups with the potential expansion, mostly centered around revenue shares and the West Coast travel.

Zhang, Korda and back-to-back winner Celine Boutier were among the LPGA stars who had a rough go during the first round of the AIG Women’s Open.
Walton Heath Golf Club, the host of this year’s AIG Women’s Open, has kicked everyone in the teeth.
It played more like a U.S. Open on day one than an Open Championship.
The biggest mistake fantasy managers make is how they approach youth vs. established stars. Here’s a rundown of how to avoid that — and other pitfalls — this year.
The San Diego Padres continue to be one of baseball’s most disappointing teams, and Juan Soto is calling out his teammates.
Since the start of July, it seemed like things were turning around in San Diego. After falling to the Cincinnati Reds on June 30th to sink to 37-45, the Padres went 18-11 to pull within a game of .500.
Heading into a huge four game weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego seemingly had momentum on its side and an opportunity to improve its postseason odds.
For Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, the day-to-day of learning a new offense, building rapport with his teammates and getting in reps to create a strong connection with pass-catchers should be more than enough for someone to have to shoulder. But his situation is different from any other player at his position.
Not only is Mayfield going through the normal process that a quarterback joining a new team must do, but he’s also competing for the starting job with Kyle Trask, who’s been with the team since 2021.
Terrell Davis is a Hall-of-Fame running back, former league MVP, and the all-time rushing yards leader for the Denver Broncos, but his playing days compared to today’s style of play are drastically different.
Davis played in an era when running backs, well, ran the football. In today’s game, running backs are asked to do a number of things out of the backfield which he doesn’t think would have benefitted him as a player.
In fact, he went as far as to say the NFL today “would have killed me” as a player.
