Following the acquisition of linebacker Tremaine Edmunds in free agency, the New York Giants filled a much-needed void left by Bobby Okereke, who was released earlier this offseason. However, the move that nobody saw coming was the Giants’ selection of linebacker Arvell Reese, a prospect that few expected to fall and be available to Big Blue at fifth overall in the 2026 NFL draft.
The pair of Edmunds and Reese has drawn recent praise as a major upgrade from ESPN analysts.
Iraola urges Arsenal target not to change clubs

Couto reportedly “open to a transfer” away from Dortmund
Yan Couto’s departure from Borussia Dortmund to Como 1907 is taking concrete shape, according to Matteo Moretto.
The Brazilian is now reportedly “open to a transfer” and negotiations with the Serie A side are said to be at an advanced stage.
Couto has largely failed to establish himself permanently in his second campaign at BVB, often kept out of the team by Julian Ryerson.
With BVB reportedly demanding a transfer fee of €20-25 million, a loan move has recently emerged as a possible option.
More than 15 coaches, players and execs shed light on the back-to-back trades that happened on a key June day.
Are Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold headed for big extensions? Can Bryce Young level up again? When will Fernando Mendoza start?
There’s no good way to interview someone the size of Victor Wembanyama post-game, unless the man is sitting down. When you’re 7-4 your entire existence is spent adapting to the world around you, so I don’t blame him when he doesn’t feel like stooping down after a basketball game to make life easier on reporters. Still, it has a tendency to create some hilarious moments, as we saw on Monday night when ESPN’s Lisa Salters was reduced to a disembodied arm on camera.
The internet tells me that Lisa Salters is an unconfirmed 5-2, but still this is pretty hilarious.
This postseason has had a prevailing subplot in Victor Wembanyama’s ascent— not only as the 22-year-old cements himself as the face of the NBA, but also how the young superstar is trying to find his edge on the court. That manifested itself with an elbow to Naz Reid against the Timberwolves, and reared its head once more on Monday night against the Knicks.
Wemby was jostling with Jalen Brunson at the top of the key, and decided to throw him to the ground like he was nothing.

If the first game of the series between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Athletics at Las Vegas Ballpark in Las Vegas, Nevada, was any indication, fans of both teams (and baseball in general) are in for a wild ride the rest of the way.
On Monday, Milwaukee and the A’s went at it like two gladiators, each refusing to lose. But when it was all said and done and after what seems like a ton of home runs, the Brewers came out on top with a 15-14 victory.
That series opener broke the record for the most runs scored in a game so far in the 2026 MLB season.
