Denny Hamlin won. Pit road screwed Chase Elliott out of a win. It rained on race day. And there was a ‘F–k Bubba Wallace’ shirt in the stands.
Oh yeah! And, the Richard Childress cars SUCKED.
Was that the most typical NASCAR Sunday ever? I mean, you talk about stereotypes … that was peak NASCAR yesterday. Except the stupid in-season tournament, which nobody cares about and is mercifully over next week.
Yep. It’s STILL going on! Two dudes who finished in the 20s yesterday advanced to the championship. Cinderella stuff.
We’ll get to it.

Let’s rank the best rookies at NBA summer league.
NBA Summer League doesn’t really matter, but still one of the most fun events on the league calendar. Team personnel and diehard fans converge in Las Vegas every year to get a first-look at rookies, check-in on second-year players, and gossip about the state of the league. Along the way, journeymen hoping to one day crack a roster get some extra eyeballs on their game.
The rookies are always the biggest draw at summer league.
Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson has been a cornerstone on defense since he was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft. He signed a well-deserved four-year, $76 million deal back in March 2024 that has since aged like fine wine (although it sounds like he might want another extension soon).
Last season, Johnson once again proved that he’s one of the most important players on this Bears roster — and one of the NFL’s best cornerbacks.
Roma in talks with Ezzalzouli
Roma continue their search for an attacking left-back to complete Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad.
Among the names being monitored by the Giallorossi management, according to Gazzetta Regionale, Real Betis man Abde Ezzalzouli remains a concrete possibility.
After a strong season in La Liga and the Conference League, where he scored six goals, the former Barcelona youth player is back in the spotlight.
Mendoza is an exceptional passer when given time and space to operate, but his game has clear limitations thanks to mostly average tools. He has good size at 6’5”, 225 pounds, but he will need to get stronger and quicker to avoid traffic in the pocket.
As a passer, Mendoza is solidly above average. His arm strength is borderline excellent, and he can pick defenses apart when his protection holds up. He routinely delivers throws with plenty of zip and is at his best in the intermediate area, working off play-action.
As if there was any doubt.
Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 golfer in the world, is now a four-time major champion after winning the 2025 British Open on Sunday at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. He claimed the Claret Jug in dominating fashion, leading by as many as eight strokes at one point during the final round and winning by four, finishing at 17 under for the week.
With the win, Scheffler is now over $90 million in career earnings, $90,996,470 to be exact, after pocketing the $3.1 million winner’s share at the Open.

Wyndham Clark took out his frustration on a couple of lockers inside Oakmont’s clubhouse after missing the cut in the U.S. Open earlier this summer. His locker bashing has resulted in him being barred from the property, but Kevin Kisner has a beef with the news and photos of the damage getting out, perhaps even more so than the locker destruction itself.
As Clark was wrapping up an impressive final round 65 at The Open to finish T-4 on Sunday, Kisner shared his opinion on the situation, and it’s fair to say it was a unique one.
