It took all of one practice to make it official in Carolina
It must have been one hell of a first practice.
Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers took the field Wednesday for the first practice of their training camp. Following the session, head coach Frank Reich made it clear. The rookie quarterback is the starter.
“Yes, he’s QB 1.” – Frank Reich on Bryce Young’s role.
It’s been less than a week since Lionel Messi made his American Major League Soccer debut and he’s already crushing it.
After scoring a storybook-like winning goal in his Inter Miami debut on Friday night, Messi was back at it again on Tuesday night. He scored two goals to help lead his team to a 4-0 shutout over Atlanta United.
But do you care? Is Messi the answer for Americans to finally start paying more attention to a sport that everyone else in the world seems to appreciate?

Tony Finau knows what it feels like to be in a lull on the PGA Tour and provided insight into Justin Thomas’ recent struggles.
Tony Finau has had his fair share of highs and lows on the PGA Tour. Last week at the Open Championship, he played with Justin Thomas, who is going through his share of adversity.
Thomas is in Minnesota for the 3M Championship for the first time, trying to get enough points for the FedEx Cup playoffs. He sits at No. 75 and is just outside the top-70 required to play in the first playoff event.
Fantasy football analyst Dalton Del Don shares some key wide receiver notes to know as we hurtle toward the heart of draft season.
MLC is selling out matches, turning heads, and bringing the party.
Nestled in Raleigh-Durham’s Research Triangle, the national hub of science and technological research, thousands of transplanted cricket fans get the taste of home they’ve been missing. Adorned in the jerseys of their favorite Indian Premier League teams and carrying the flags of their home nations — 3,000 pack into the newly-constructed Morrisville Cricket Ground to see the final Major League Cricket (MLC) game in North Carolina, before the league heads back to Texas to close out the season.
Whoever operates the scoreboard at the Brewers’ home stadium has a lot of fun with their job.
The lighthearted approach backfired spectacularly on Monday, though, after Reds star Elly De La Cruz was robbed of a home run by the Brewers’ Joey Wiemer. The next time the Cincinnati rookie came to the plate, the scoreboard provided a helpful reminder that De La Cruz “almost hit a home run in the first inning… but didn’t.” De La Cruz then immediately hit a 456-foot home run that no one could have robbed.
Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie sheds light on a touchy subject: Trading with teams who are out of playoff contention.
1. In our ongoing coverage of athletes who love Taylor Swift, today we bring to you a crushed Travis Kelce.
We’ve already told you that J.J. Watt was impressed by the Eras Tour.
Aaron Rodgers thoroughly enjoyed the Eras Tour.
Joe Burrow said he may stop by the Eras Tour.
The Chiefs’ superstar tight end also attended the Eras Tour and had big plans for meeting the pop star, but, sadly, they never came to fruition.
Been focused on fantasy baseball or basketball and missed on some of the fantasy football offseason details? Don’t worry — Fred Zinkie has you covered.
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is a big Taylor Swift fan, and we learned this week that he was hoping his football stardom would help him give his phone number to the singer during her tour stop in Kansas City earlier this month.
Instead, we learned it was a Cruel Summer for Kelce, as his possible Love Story with Swift doesn’t look like it’ll happen. His hopes of connecting with her were left in a Lavender Haze after finding out she doesn’t speak before or after concerts. Seems like he had no chance of seeing Sparks Fly or getting to start The Story of Us.
