Just two games into his Major League Baseball career, Elly De La Cruz is already a Cincinnati Reds legend. OK, that’s a little bit of hyperbole. But the hype is indeed real.
De La Cruz hit a moonshot home run in his first at-bat on Wednesday night against the Dodgers, the first of his big-league career. He followed that with a triple in his second at-bat, recording the fastest home-to-third-base time in the majors this season.

Paige Spiranac reminded the golf world that none of us actually know what’s going on with this merger with a hysterical video.
Golf influencer Paige Spiranac knows how to appeal to her masses, and her witty video about taking a deep breath takes the cake.
This week saw the golf world shaken to its core when the PGA Tour and PIF announced they were merging.
So many opinions, reports and commentary has been all over social media. Thankfully, Spiranac kept it real and she chose the light route, which we all need.

Steven Adams has become somewhat mythical during his time in the NBA. The New Zealand native has built a reputation for being abnormally strong and fearsomely tough during his 10-year career in the association. Naturally, this has led to plenty of hilarious stories, but this one puts them all to shame.
One of his former teammates with the Thunder, Paul George, had Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. on his podcast, and the two exchanged stories about Adams, who is currently Jackson’s front court partner in Memphis.
When you’re hot, you’re hot! And PGA Tour golfer Justin Rose had a flaming hot streak in the middle of his first round at the RBC Canadian Open.
Rose entered the week as one of the favorites to contend for the title at the national tournament of our north-of-the-border neighbors. It’s a relatively weak field, especially with the much more important US Open on tap next week.
But defending champion (technically back-to-back) Rory McIlroy is there to try and pick up a three-peat.
BMX star Pat Casey died in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday while attempting to perform a stunt. The 2021 Summer X Games gold medalist was 29 years old.

The Big 12 is headed to Mexico, as the league announced the launch of Big 12 Mexico.
The extension was announced Thursday and will see a number of sports being played in the country, including basketball, soccer and baseball. It was reported in May that the conference had made multiple trips to hosting sites in Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico. Now, the deal is done.
Dalvin Cook is officially available, with news coming out Thursday that the Vikings will release him if they can’t find a trade partner by the end of the week. The seventh-year running back, who will turn 28 before the start of the season, has made the Pro Bowl each year since 2019. He has not rushed for fewer than 1,100 yards in a season since ’18 and has rushed for 43 touchdowns in the past four seasons.
This is about as excited as we can get about a 28-year-old running back who may end up as more of a complementary, rotational piece during the 2023 season than a feature back.
No one is getting more mileage out of the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl championship than Travis Kelce. Sure, quarterback Patrick Mahomes is doing his thing. But he’s the biggest star in the biggest league in America. Kelce, though, is making the rounds like never before. And now he’ll throw out the first pitch for the Kansas City Royals on Monday.

The Vikings have informed Dalvin Cook that they intend to release him, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter, ending the running back’s six-year tenure in Minnesota.
Barcelona say Lionel Messi turned down their proposal because he wants to “compete in a league with fewer demands” after the forward confirmed he will join MLS side Inter Miami.
