The Harrisburg Senators have a skunk problem. 
Back in May, a game at the Nationals Double A affiliate’s home park was briefly delayed when a skunk made its way onto the field. Incredibly, the same thing happened again on Tuesday night. Even more incredibly, the Senators were playing the same team they were during initial skunk incident, the Bowie Baysox. 
In the sixth inning, the skunk appeared on the field just behind first base and began ambling across the field, with players making sure to keep a safe distance.

Former UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko takes exception to thoughts that she has declined following her loss to Alexa Grasso at UFC 285 in March.

The best QB in the city of Cleveland might not be a member of the Browns.
The Browns currently carry two QBs on the active roster – starter Deshaun Watson and backup Dorian Thompson-Robinson – and while both are talented, the team might want to start scouting tailgates.
Now, I’m sure you’re thinking, “How could anyone at a tailgate have a better arm than an NFL QB?” I don’t blame you.
I’d think the same if I stumbled across this article, but that certainly appears to be the case after an Instagram video from @imfromcleveland went viral.

When Travis Kelce admitted roughly two months ago that he had attempted to give Taylor Swift his number, it was met with a mixture of responses, but many gave him a tip of the cap for the effort.
The Chiefs tight end admitted on his New Heights podcast that he unfortunately didn’t get to meet Swift at her Arrowhead Stadium concert, as he was trying to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it.
“If you’re up on Taylor Swift concerts, there are friendship bracelets and I had received a bunch of them, but I wanted to give Taylor Swift with my number on it,” said Kelce.

After the United States flopped at this year’s FIBA World Cup, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo weighed in to back track star Noah Lyles’ criticism of the term “world champions.”
Lyles took plenty of heat after comments he made in August calling out NBA players for their use of “world champions” to describe the winner of the NBA Finals. Several NBA stars, including Kevin Durant and Draymond Green, called out Lyles for the comments.

THESE are the sports stories we need.
The attention of the New Zealand golf world is now on a 12-year-old boy with almost no experience, who borrowed clubs, and competed in basketball shoes. Bayleigh Teepa-Tarau won the nine-hole competition at the AIMS Games, a national competition for adolescents designed to promote diversity amongst the nation’s sporting youth.

If the allegations against him are true, Houston Rockets wing Kevin Porter doesn’t deserve to play in the NBA or collect what’s remaining on the four-year, $82.5 million contract extension he signed in 2022.
Porter, a magnet for disorderly conduct on and off the court, was arrested Monday and arraigned earlier today. Per ESPN, he’s charged with felonious assault and strangulation of his girlfriend, Kysre Gondrezick, a former WNBA player.
Gondrezick reportedly has a fractured vertebrae in her neck and at least one facial laceration. Porter is listed by NBA.com at 6’4, 203 pounds.

If Milton and his mega-arm can successfully quarterback Tennessee this season, he could rise quickly on NFL draft boards.

Jets coach Robert Saleh made it clear on Tuesday that Zach Wilson will be the team’s starting quarterback for the rest of the season in the wake of Aaron Rodgers’s season-ending Achilles tear.
While New York is expected to entertain other quarterback options for depth purposes, it seems as if it’s Wilson’s job for the foreseeable future, which makes sense given his experience as the team’s starter in the past.
