Greg Biffle , running in his first Gander Outdoors Truck Series race since 2004, survived a caution-filled event to win Friday night at Texas Motor Speedway. Biffle led the final 13 laps in the 167-lap race. It is Biffle's 17th Truck win but first series victory since 2001 at what is now ISM Raceway. Biffle, 49, ran Friday's race for Kyle Busch Motorsports. It is his only scheduled start for the team this year. "It was not easy," Biffle said. "I had my work cut out for me. At the beginning of the race, so much odd stuff happened. We ran five laps at a time and then the caution would come out. There was a lot of people wrecking in front of me and behind me. I was just trying to keep the truck clean and stay out of trouble. Then we got four-wide off of turn 2, and I didn't know you could do that here. "We beat the fenders in a bit, but the Mobil 1 Toyota ran really good tonight. I want to thank those guys for coming on board and helping us. Kyle Busch assembles a great group of guys. The pit stops were phenomenal. Rudy (Fugle, crew chief) did a great job calling the race from the top of the box. It's not easy to win these, but I can see how Kyle has done very well." The race featured a record 13 cautions. The previous record was 10 on two different occasions. MORE: Race results MORE: Points report Friday's race was the opening round of the Triple Truck Challenge, awarding a $50,000 bonus to Biffle and the team. This is Biffle's first NASCAR win since a Cup victory at Michigan in June 2013. Matt Crafton finished second and was followed by Tyler Ankrum , Grant Enfinger and Harrison Burton . Stage 1 winner: Johnny Sauter Stage 2 winner: Ben Rhodes Who had a good race: Rookie Tyler Ankrum finished a career-high third. Grant Enfinger's fourth-place finish was his sixth consecutive top 10. Who had a bad race: After winning the first stage, Johnny Sauter hit the wall. Austin Hill drifted up and made contact with Sauter, sending both into the wall early in Stage 2. That ended Sauter's hopes of a win. Sauter placed 13th. … Todd Gilliland lost control when his Truck broke loose while battling for the lead on a restart in the second stage. He finished 27th. Notable: Ross Chastain finished 10th and scored 38 points in his first race since declaring points for the Truck Series. He is 35th in the points. Chastain needs to be in the top 20 by the end of the regular season and have a win to be eligible for the playoffs. He is 64 points from 20th in the standings.

In June , the Federal Communications Commission ruled that carriers could block robocalls for their customers by default   without requiring the customers opt in first. Now, AT&T is following through on the ruling, enabling its Call Protect service by default for new and existing lines. New customers will automatically have Call Protect enabled going forward, and existing customers will have it enabled "in the coming months." AT&T's Call Protect service does three things: it detects and blocks fraudulent calls entirely, flags telemarketers and spam calls as "Suspected Spam" when the phone rings, and allows you to maintain a personal block list to specifically block individual numbers. The service has been around (and available for free) for postpaid AT&T customers for a while now, but the catch has been that you'd have to download an app and actively enable it on your account. Now, thanks to the new FCC's ruling, AT&T can activate it for you, although you can still manually activate it if you already have AT&T and don't want to wait. For those who'd rather receive all of their calls, unfiltered, AT&T will still allow users to opt out of Call Protect like before; it's only the default behavior that's changing. AT&T is the first major US carrier to enable free call blocking for all of its customers in the wake of the FCC ruling. T-Mobile offers similar features , but only its ScamID service is enabled by default. T-Mobile customers still have to enable its Scam Block feature manually, and the Name ID service that identifies numbers still costs extra. Similarly, Verizon's Call Filter service needs to be enabled manually, even for the free version, while Sprint's Premium Caller ID service costs extra and likely won't be enabled for free anytime soon.

Running back Frank Gore is already a popular player among some of his new teammates in Buffalo. That's been the case for quarterback Josh Allen since Allen was in high school. Vic Carucci of the Buffalo News wrote a great story about the 49ers' all-time leading rusher , who signed with the Bills this offseason after a season in Miami. Gore is in his 15th NFL season after being selected by the 49ers in the third round of the 2005 NFL draft. His new quarterback was just eight-years old when he was drafted, and the Firebaugh, Calif. native grew up a fan of the running back. From Carucci: Gore is old enough to have a son playing high school football in South Florida. He's old enough that, when he first met Josh Allen, the Bills quarterback told him he had Gore's red, white and black jerseys from when Gore played for the San Francisco 49ers. Growing up in Northern California, the Niners were Allen's team and Gore was one of his favorite players. Gore played in San Francisco all the way through Allen's time in high school, and left the club for Indianapolis the same year Allen went to college at the University of Wyoming. The fact Gore and Allen had the opportunity to become teammates was a pretty significant long shot. Darren Sproles is the only other running back from the 2005 draft class that's still in the NFL. Gore also overcame a pair of devastating knee injuries in college that were liable to keep him from ever putting together an NFL career. Instead, he's worked his way up to No. 4 on the all-time rushing list, and will move past Barry Sanders to No. 3 with 522 more rushing yards. It would stand to reason that Gore is a shell of himself in Year 15, especially considering a foot injury late last season forced him to end the year on injured reserve. Allen, according to Carucci, told SiriusXM NFL Radio that Gore is still at a high level physically and mentally "For him to still be playing at the level that he is is unbelievable," Allen said. "But you meet the guy, you see how hard he works, you see him in practice and his type of effort that he gives every single play and you understand. It's a Hall of Fame work ethic. It's infectious, I think, to some of the guys in the building. I know it is for me. Just talking with him, he's very studious, he's very professional. It's all about football when he's on the field. It's unbelievable to have him." Allen grew up watching Gore lead the 49ers' rise from bottom dweller to perennial NFC title contender. Now he gets a front row seat as the 36-year-old Gore tries to continue defying logic and help the Bills get beyond the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 1995.

Through two NFL seasons, Bengals wide receiver John Ross has been a big disappointment, catching a total of just 21 passes in the two years since he was the ninth overall pick in the draft. But this year, Ross says, things feel different. Ross credited new Bengals head coach Zac Taylor with bringing a type of teamwork and competitiveness that was lacking in years past. "The energy is completely different ," Ross told ESPN. "Everyone is just having a good time. Even in the locker room. It's not just on the field. We come in here, and we're in there playing basketball, we're in the weight room having a good time, we're in the locker room or training room and everyone is smiling. I know the season hasn't started yet, but it's good to see. It's a good sign of good things coming." Ross was the subject of trade speculation during the offseason, but talks never went anywhere, perhaps because Ross hasn't done anything to make any team want to trade for him. He'll have to show on the field that he can be a part of a different energy in Cincinnati.


Over the offseason, the Oakland Raiders ton of talent to essential positions, such as wide receiver, offensive tackle, cornerback and safety. But despite all of the upgrades and draft picks the Raiders made, not everyone is convinced the team has much top-tier talent. In a recent article by Jared Dubin of CBS Sports , he listed the top-100 players heading into the 2019 season. Unfortunately for the Raiders, just one player appeared on the list; Antonio Brown. Take a look at what Dublin had to stay about the Raiders' new No. 1 receiver: 39. Antonio Brown, WR, Raiders All Brown did in 2018 was record his sixth consecutive season with at least 101 catches, 1,284 yards, and eight touchdowns. Nobody else in NFL history has more than four such seasons, and only eight other players have two or more. And those are Brown's *worst* figures in each category over the past six years. He averaged a 114-1,524-11 line during that time. Even with a new team, he should still be incredibly tough to stop. Brown should have no problem putting up big numbers in Oakland, but it's the rest of the team that should be concerning. If the Raiders want to compete in 2019, they are going to need career years from multiple players, including Derek Carr, Trent Brown, Maurice Hurst and Gareon Conley. If that can happen, don't be surprised if the Raiders flirt with a playoff appearance for the first time since 2016.

ST. LOUIS (AP) Timo Meier handed a big win to Erik Karlsson and the San Jose Sharks. Karlsson scored 5:23 into overtime after the officials missed a hand pass by Meier, and the Sharks rallied to beat the St. Louis Blues 5-4 on Wednesday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference final. ''I think we deserved to win this game,'' Karlsson said. ''At the end of the day I think neither team drew the shortest stick on any of the calls out there so it was a fair game.'' But it was the final sequence that likely will live on long after the series is over, possibly sparking a discussion about the NHL's replay rules. Meier used his right hand to knock a loose puck toward the front of the net. Gustav Nyquist then passed it over to Karlsson, who beat Jordan Binnington for his second goal of the game. ''Quick play and I'm not going to comment on the officiating,'' Sharks coach Peter DeBoer said. ''We found a way to win a game. I thought we had a great chance just before that, Timo Meier going in. It was a game of momentum swings and those quick plays happen all over the ice. Some get called, some get missed. We found a way to win.'' Binnington and the Blues complained immediately. They felt the play should have been blown dead when Nyquist got the puck, but it continued. The officials huddled while Karlsson and the Sharks celebrated, but the goal stood. ''It's a non-reviewable play,'' NHL Officiating Supervisor Kay Whitmore told a pool reporter. ''You can read between the lines. You can figure out what you want. You watched the video. But it's just non-reviewable. I know that sounds like a cop-out answer, but that's the truth.'' Blues coach Craig Berube bristled when asked about what happened. ''No explanation (from the officials),'' Berube said. ''What do you guys think? . There's no reason to ask me. I have nothing to say about it.'' Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night in St. Louis. ''Well yeah it was a hand pass, but we're going to try and move forward and the league is going to take care of it like they've done so far in the playoffs,'' Blues forward David Perron said. ''It's unacceptable but it's OK.'' Meier was not available after the game. The Blues led 4-3 before Logan Couture tied it with 61 seconds left in regulation. Joe Thornton scored twice for San Jose, and Martin Jones made 28 saves. Perron had two goals for St. Louis, and Vladimir Tarasenko and Alexander Steen also scored. Colton Parayko had three assists, and Binnington made 27 stops. The Blues trailed 2-0 after one and 3-1 in the second before rallying. Tarasenko, who faced criticism after a lackluster performance in Game 1, started the comeback with his first goal in six games at 4:05 of the second. Perron tied it by beating Jones on the stick side with a wrist shot from the left dot with 3:57 left. St. Louis went on a power play after Brent Burns took down Oskar Sundqvist late in the period. Perron scored his second goal of the series a minute later, giving the Blues the lead with their first power-play goal in 19 chances with the man advantage. It was Perron's first multigoal playoff performance in 73 games. After an early Blues push, the Sharks grabbed control in the first. Blues defenseman Vince Dunn departed with 8:35 left in the first after getting hit in the face by a Brenden Dillon shot, forcing St. Louis to mix and match five defensemen. San Jose then jumped in front when Karlsson intercepted a Joel Edmundson clearing attempt and beat Binnington with a wrist shot through traffic at 13:37. Thornton made it 2-0 with 3:02 left in the first, scoring on a backhander after Robert Bortuzzo blocked a Marc-Edouard Vlasic shot. Steen got the Blues on the board at 1:18 of the second, but Thornton answered 18 seconds later with his second goal of the game, giving him his first multigoal playoff game over 176 games in a 22-year career. ''Game by game, it's the playoffs,'' DeBoer said. ''We've won stunningly, we've lost stunningly. When you get three rounds deep, you've seen it all. It's just rest and get ready for the next one.'' NOTES: The Blues and Sharks entered the game tied for first in the NHL with 38 points in the postseason from their defensemen. UP NEXT Game 4 at St. Louis on Friday night. --- More AP NHL: https://apnews.com/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP-Sports


Other than the Olympics, the world championships is swimming's biggest meet. And Caeleb Dressel was sure to make a statement one year out from the 2020 Games in Tokyo. The 22-year-old American took home a record eight medals, surpassing Michael Phelps' previous mark of seven, with a slew of impressive performances in Gwangju, South Korea. He had tied that number two years ago at the world championships in Hungary. "Part of me is very happy," Dressel said. "Part of me wants to cry that I'm done with it. I've got pimples on my face from just the stress of the meet. I'm probably losing some hair. "It was a very tough week. I knew I was going to have to come with fire, passion and pride in every single race." AMERICAN DOMINATION: Simone Manuel becomes first U.S. woman to sweep 50 and 100 freestyle Dressel swam his way to six golds, including three in one night (for the second time in his career), and helped the American 4x100 medley relay take silver on Sunday. He turned in a 49.28-second butterfly split to help take the U.S. from fourth to first, before Nathan Adrian gave up the lead over Great Britain. The Florida native was named the male swimmer of the meet by dominating the shorter-distance swims. He won the 50 and 100 freestyle and the 50 and 100 butterfly. He was also a part of two relays, the mixed 4x100 free and the 4x100 free, that placed first. Dressel's other silver was in the mixed 4x100 medley relay.

Preseason gambling! What fun! The Vikings open up preseason on Friday, Aug. 8 against the Saints in New Orleans. Per Sportsbook.com , the Vikings are 3-point underdogs in the game. A -3 bet on the Saints pays out even, while a +3 Vikings bet pays out at -120. As far as straight moneyline goes, the Vikings are at +125, while the Saints are at -145. The over/under for the game is at 37. A bet on either side of that pays out at -110. Why are the Saints the favorites? Probably because the game is in New Orleans. Week 1 of the preseason won't be one in which we see a lot of the starters. I'd be surprised if we see the starters for more than a series or two. For Vikings fans, it will be fun to see Teddy Bridgewater get some reps. Bridgewater enters his second season as Drew Brees' backup. Both teams were 3-1 in preseason play last season.

What's rich in West Virginia is paltry in Maine. How much you must earn to be rich in each state Most people have dreamed of someday being rich. It's hard not to be envious of the wealthy as they move through life without the stress and concern caused by money woes while buying luxuries without a second thought. However, the dream of being among the highest earners in the country might look very different from one state to the next. GOBankingRates surveyed over 5,000 Americans to find out what level of annual income makes you "rich." Respondents could choose from these six options: $100,000 or more, $200,000 or more, $500,000 or more, $1 million or more, $5 million or more and $10 million or more. In a separate study, GOBankingRates found how much pre-tax income a household has to make to be among the top 5% highest-earning households in each state by analyzing the Census Bureau's 2017 American Community Survey (ACS). The results show that across the country, many Americans have different definitions of "rich." Alabama Income needed to be in the top 5%: $170,906 Income residents believe makes you rich: (tie) $500K and $1 million Alabamans were tied for the most common response, with over half of the state s respondents answering either $500,000 or more and $1 million or more. Interestingly, a recent GOBankingRates study found that Alabama is one of the states where you re considered wealthy making less than $100,000. Alaska Income needed to be in the top 5%: $223,728 Income residents believe makes you rich: (tie) $500K, $1 million and $10 million Alaskans couldn t quite make up their minds on what it takes to be rich, but the two estimates that received the most responses are well below the $223,728 needed to be among the top 5% of the state s earners. Arkansas Income needed to be in the top 5%: $160,675 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Residents of Arkansas don't appear to be letting the fact that they have one of the lowest average household incomes in the country to change what they consider to be rich, with the most common answer calling for at least seven figures in annual income. Arkansas is the state with the third-lowest income threshold to enter the 5% at $160,675. Arizona Income needed to be in the top 5%: $195,113 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Arizona inhabitants might set their sights high for what qualifies as rich because they're thinking about what it takes to get by, day by day. Another GOBankingRates survey found that the everyday costs of living were the top cause of financial stress in the state. California Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Even if you do get the $1 million annual salary that Californians believe makes you rich, it probably won't last long if you're living there. California is one of the most expensive states to live in. Colorado Income needed to be in the top 5%: $228,672 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more While $1 million or more was the most common response, $500,000 or better was a close second. Combined, those two responses made up over 50% of all answers from Coloradans. Connecticut Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Residents of Connecticut have good reason to see $1 million as a definition of rich   it's one of the states where $1 million goes the fastest in retirement. Delaware Income needed to be in the top 5%: $211,732 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Residents of Delaware see earning a million or more a year as being rich, and it's on the higher end when it comes to income needed to be a part of the top 5%. District of Columbia Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $200,000 or more The nation's capital has an unusually low perception of what qualifies as wealth, given that the income needed to be in the top 5% of earners tied for the highest in the study. Florida Income needed to be in the top 5%: $196,433 Income residents believe makes you rich: $500,000 or more Although the state of Florida as a whole had a lower perception of wealth than most, there are certainly pockets of much greater wealth in this state. Click to See: The Best and Worst States to Be Rich in America Georgia Income needed to be in the top 5%: $202,025 Income residents believe makes you rich: $500,000 or more Georgia's most common response was $500,000 or more, but not by much. Some 26% of those polled selected $500,000 or more, just barely edging out the almost 25% who answered $1 million or more. Hawaii Income needed to be in the top 5%: $238,820 Income residents believe makes you rich: $500,000 or more That Hawaiians see rich as having less than $1 million, which is interesting considering the high costs of living, home prices and median incomes on the islands. That $500,000 salary is still more than $200,000 short of what it costs to get a median-level home in the state. Idaho Income needed to be in the top 5%: $167,204 Income residents believe makes you rich: $5 million or more Residents of Idaho had the highest response rate for $5 million or more, with more than 26% of those polled giving that answer. Meanwhile, it was also the state with the lowest response rate for $1 million or more with just over one in 10 residents considering that amount to be the threshold for wealth. Illinois Income needed to be in the top 5%: $227,304 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Illinois residents are certainly no stranger to wealth, with over 17% of respondents answering either $5 million or more, or $10 million or more. Indiana Income needed to be in the top 5%: $173,021 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Residents of Indiana think $1 million or more equals wealth. Seven figures will go a long way in the Hoosier State: Indiana is one of the cheapest states to live in the country. Iowa Income needed to be in the top 5%: $180,304 Income residents believe makes you rich: $5 million or more The Hawkeye State sees $5 million as the threshold for what makes you rich, but you can certainly live the good life on less. Kansas Income needed to be in the top 5%: $189,252 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Kansans were right in line with most of the country, with 30% of respondents answering that $1 million a year or more would make a person rich. Click to See: How Much You Need to Be in the Top 5% in Each State Kentucky Income needed to be in the top 5%: $167,532 Income residents believe makes you rich: $200,000 or more Kentucky was the only place in the study   aside from Washington, D.C.,   where residents believe only $200,000 or more makes you rich. Louisiana Income needed to be in the top 5%: $182,288 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Although $1 million or more is the most common response in the survey, it could be a sign that many Americans have a skewed perspective on how much wealth rich people really have. According to Bloomberg, the annual pre-tax income needed to be in the top 1% of earners in the U.S. is only $478,000. Maine Income needed to be in the top 5%: $178,516 Income residents believe makes you rich: $10 million or more Maine is the lone state where the majority believe $10 million or more is what it takes to be rich, with just under one in four respondents choosing this answer. Maryland Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Maryland's top answer of $1 million or more is a little deceptive as the state's residents were clearly of different minds. There were four different answers   $200,000, $500,000, $1 million and $5 million or more   that all got between 18% and 23% of responses. Massachusetts Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Massachusetts is among the top states for both median income and median home price, so the state's residents likely know a thing or two about being rich. Michigan Income needed to be in the top 5%: $187,384 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Just under one in four Michiganders felt that making $1 million or more makes you rich. Minnesota Income needed to be in the top 5%: $218,790 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more The Land of 10,000 Lakes is also the land of pretty reasonable expectations about wealth. While $1 million or more was the most popular answer selected, over 39% of respondents believe that $200,000 or more or $500,000 or more is all that's needed to be rich. Mississippi Income needed to be in the top 5%: $154,295 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the country, with the lowest median income and highest poverty rate in the country, but that hasn't stopped its residents from expecting much more: They see "rich" as starting at seven figures a year and up. Missouri Income needed to be in the top 5%: $181,527 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more If you ask residents of Missouri what makes a person rich, they'll say $1 million or more. That could be surprising, given that Missouri has a lower cost of living than much of the rest of the country. Montana Income needed to be in the top 5%: $176,370 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Montanans were most likely to answer that $1 million or more was necessary to be considered rich. They also believe in allowing you to hang onto a bigger portion of it, as the state has one of the lowest overall tax bills in the nation. Nebraska Income needed to be in the top 5%: $185,422 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more The Cornhusker State was among the 33 states that felt that $1 million a year or more is what makes a person rich. Nevada Income needed to be in the top 5%: $184,901 Income residents believe makes you rich: $500,000 or more The Silver State had one of the highest response rates for the $500,000 and more category, with 29.51% of Nevadans feeling that was what it takes to make a person rich. New Hampshire Income needed to be in the top 5%: $229,425 Income residents believe makes you rich: (tie) $1 million and $10 million New Hampshire residents appear to have higher expectations for wealth: More than 73% of respondents believe it takes at least $1 million to be rich. New Jersey Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Residents of New Jersey might think of $1 million or more as rich due in part to the state's heavy tax burden. New Mexico Income needed to be in the top 5%: $173,396 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more New Mexico's $1 million or more definition of rich might be surprising as the state has the second-highest poverty rate in the nation. New York Income needed to be in the top 5%: $250,000 Income residents believe makes you rich: $500,000 or more The fact that New Yorkers were among the 10 states that answered under $1 million might seem odd given how wealthy the residents of New York City are, but that might be explained by the fact that New York has the highest level of income inequality in the country aside from Washington, D.C. North Carolina Income needed to be in the top 5%: $188,470 Income residents believe makes you rich: (tie) $500K and $1 million The Tar Heel State registered a tie between $500,000 or more and $1 million or more, with almost 24% of those polled for each. The next most common answer was $5 million or more with 17.91% of responses.

Tennessee Income needed to be in the top 5%: $179,962 Income residents believe makes you rich: $1 million or more Tennessee actually had three answers within 4% of each other: $1 million or more was the top answer with almost 23% of respondents choosing that answer, but $500,000 or more and $5 million or more both tied for second at 19.28%.

Asian markets largely rallied Friday, tracking a rebound on Wall Street, as investors attempted to shrug off lingering US-China trade war fears. Positive data out of Japan helped drive the Nikkei index up by 0.7 percent, after figures showed the world's third-biggest economy was growing faster than analysts had predicted. The stronger-than-expected data showed Japan's gross domestic product grew 0.4 percent from the previous quarter on robust consumer demand, beating analysts' median forecast of 0.1 percent. "The reading of the data itself was not a huge buying peg... but nonetheless it confirmed personal spending could pick up," said Makoto Sengoku, market analyst at Tokai Tokyo Research Institute. The Japanese data came a day after China released figures showing that its exports beat expectations to rise in July, boosting equities in the region. Hong Kong edged up 0.2 percent Friday, while Shanghai inched up 0.1 percent. Seoul jumped 1.3 percent and Sydney rose 0.3 percent. Singapore lost 0.5 percent. Even as equities largely advanced on bargain-hunting by investors after several days of losses, safe haven assets such as bonds, gold and the yen remained in demand, signalling that trade war fears would continue to weigh on markets. Interest rate cuts by central banks in India, Thailand and New Zealand this week underscored investor anxiety with analysts saying that markets believe further cuts were in the offing. "The current market dynamics are such that the stabilisation of risk assets will remain a function of improvement on the trade front or the Fed turning increasingly more dovish," said Stephen Innes at VM Markets. "With a near term trade agreement little more (than) wishful thinking at this stage the markets will lean on the dovish Fed narrative again as a critical circuit breaker to diffuse the markets stress overload from escalating trade and currency war tensions," he added. - Currency war worries - Equities were hammered Monday after Beijing allowed the yuan to slide sharply against the dollar following US President Donald Trump's announcement of fresh tariffs on Chinese goods starting September 1. But Beijing's push to stabilise the yuan helped to ease fears of a full-blown currency war on top of an escalating trade war. That has done little to placate Trump however, with Washington formally branding China a currency manipulator earlier in the week. On Thursday Trump appeared to call for a weaker US dollar to help American exporters -- a move that breaks with decades of US policy. "As your President, one would think that I would be thrilled with our very strong dollar. I am not!" he said on Twitter. "The Fed's high interest rate level, in comparison to other countries, is keeping the dollar high, making it more difficult for our great manufacturers... to compete on a level playing field", he wrote. - Key figures around 0230 GMT - Tokyo - Nikkei 225: UP 0.7 percent at 20,745.75 (break) Hong Kong - Hang Seng: UP 0.2 percent at 26,169.98 Shanghai - Composite: UP 0.1 percent at 2,796.31 Pound/dollar: FLAT at $1.2138 around 2100 GMT Euro/pound: UP at 92.23 pence from 92.12 pence Euro/dollar: UP at $1.1195 from $1.1182 Dollar/yen: DOWN at 106.01 yen from 106.06 yen Brent North Sea crude: UP 12 cents at $57.50 per barrel West Texas Intermediate: UP 17 cents at $52.71 per barrel New York - Dow: UP 1.4 percent at 26,378.19 (close) London - FTSE 100: UP 1.2 percent at 7,285.90 points (close)


On the night of the 2019 NBA Draft, the Oklahoma City Thunder traded the No. 21 overall pick to the Memphis Grizzlies for their second-round pick in 2024 and, more importantly, the No. 23 overall pick in this year's draft. The No. 23 pick, however, belonged to the Utah Jazz, who selected prep-to-pro forward Darius Bazley on the Thunder's behalf. With the NBA Free Agency Moratorium also placing a hold on all trades, Oklahoma City has not been able to officially work with its new prospect. Now the Thunder can, with Oklahoma City announcing the Draft Night trade has been approved by the league with the Moratorium coming to an end on Saturday at noon. The Darius Bazley trade is complete.

The Broncos are opening training camp on Wednesday and they will reportedly do so with an open spot on their 90-man roster. Field Yates of ESPN reports that wide receiver Aaron Burbridge has opted to retire rather than report to camp with the rest of the team. He signed with the team in January. Burbridge was a 2016 sixth-round pick by the 49ers and had seven catches for 88 yards while appearing in every game during his rookie season. He spent all of 2017 on injured reserve and was released from the 49ers' practice squad last November. Courtland Sutton , Emmanuel Sanders , Tim Patrick , DaeSean Hamilton , River Cracraft and 2019 sixth-round pick Juwann Winfree remain on the roster at wide receiver in Denver.

Defenseman P.K. Subban was traded to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday in a deal that came together quite quickly. While he likely heard the trade rumors that surrounded him in the days leading up to the NHL Draft, the deal itself didn't give him much advance warning. After the deal was officially announced, Subban realized he needed to change his profile picture to something more fitting   and he came up with a hilarious solution. #NewProfilePic pic.twitter.com/eAWZJR2e7C   P.K.

Subban, at least, seems excited about his new adventure in New Jersey.


Joe Biden may be the frontrunner for the Democratic primary, but progressive Democrats are locked in a shadow primary of their own: in the next year, they'll have to decide whether Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren is their best bet to topple him. So far, the fight has been fairly polite and policy-oriented, and many activists are excited to see two well-known senators with solid progressive credentials putting forward their ideas and doing well in the polls. In a symbolic coincidence, they will be on different nights at this week's two-night Democratic debates. "Our members really love that there are progressive candidates like Elizabeth and Bernie who are supporting workers," says Brian Shepherd, deputy executive director of SEIU 1107, which represents health care and service workers in Nevada. "I don't think there's a divide." But there are signs that the fissures between the two are growing, and for either one to capture the nomination, they'll have to defeat the other. Sanders has led the polls from the beginning, bolstered by the name recognition and grassroots donor base that he built in 2016 and has cultivated ever since. But recent polls have shown Warren catching up to Sanders in some key early states, and even eclipsing him in Nevada. A Monmouth University poll released last week found Warren and Sanders in a statistical tie around 15%, well behind Biden at 32%. An Economist/YouGov poll released last week also found Warren and Sanders neck-in-neck, with Warren ahead with women and Sanders ahead with younger and nonwhite voters. When asked to explain Warren's sudden rise in the polls last week, Sanders attributed it partly to the desire to "see a woman elected," a comment that was controversial but also probably true. "A lot of women were like 'oh does it have to be Kamala?'" says a top progressive activist explaining the Warren surge. "Now they're like 'woah, this person has my values and I want a woman so that's where I go.'" He also moved to recapture some momentum by matching   and raising   one of her signature proposals. Months after Warren made her first big announcement a $640 billion plan to cancel significant portions of student debt for most borrowers, Sanders on Monday announced he planned to eliminate all $1.6 trillion of student debt held by every American. Read More: A Quick Guide to the Big Ideas in the Democratic Primary Many progressives know that they'll eventually have to choose between the two. Some organizations are already beginning primary endorsement processes that are expected to last months. The Working Families Party, for example, has distributed candidate questionnaires to the 2020 primary candidates: based on their responses, the Party's executive committee will narrow down the candidates and then present them to the membership and national committee for a vote. The organization's leaders say that both Warren and Sanders have expanded the universe of progressive voters. "They are pushing ideas that for so long people have shied away from in presidential elections," says Nelini Stamp, director of strategy and partnerships at the Working Families Party. "The fact that we see two student debt cancellation policies and they're getting bigger and bigger every time, that's better for our movement." Still, organizers know that a battle is on the horizon. "People feel like the things Bernie has done don't feel that new or interesting," says a top staffer at a progressive organization who was not authorized to speak publicly. "There's a Bernie fatigue in the institutions. People are more interested in something fresh." One divide is between those with jobs at progressive institutions, and those who are volunteer progressive activists: the professionals tend to support Warren, while the volunteers have so far stuck with Sanders. Gender is another pressure point: many women progressives in 2016 felt they had to choose between their values and their feminism, while Warren offers them an opportunity to combine the two. Progressives are also divided on which candidate has a the greater weaknesses. Warren supporters think Sanders's open embrace of Democratic socialism would make him unelectable in a general election, while Sanders loyalists think Warren's ill-advised foray into her Native American ancestry would weaken her against Trump. Some hardcore progressives who support Sanders have already begun to cast doubt on Warren's progressive credentials. They point to an interview where she appeared to waffle on single-payer health care (she co-sponsored Sanders's Medicare for All bill.) They whisper that she still calls herself a "capitalist," while Sanders recently gave a major speech about democratic socialism. Sanders still leads Warren in nationwide polling averages , and he has a durable base of hardcore supporters who have supported him since 2016. But some of his 2016 supporters might be drawn to other candidates   the question is, how many? Some observers have a guesstimate. "70% are still with him, but another 30% have gone to Warren or Pete [Buttigieg,]" says Jane Kleeb, chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party and board member of Our Revolution, a 501c4 formed in the wake of the 2016 Sanders campaign to promote similarly progressive candidates. "Warren's a woman, and a lot of Bernie's base supporters want to see a woman," she continued. Voters like her daughter, she says, are intrigued by South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg because "she's tired of all the old people running the Democratic party." But for now, progressives are just excited to watch it play out. "Both of those candidates attract a lot of young people," says Shepherd. "I think these are people who typically would stay home if there's not a candidate who's talking about issues that impact them."

PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland - When Darren Clarke steps to the tee at Royal Portrush at 6:35 a.m. Thursday morning and gets the 148th Open Championship underway, he will become the first Northern Irishman to fire a shot here and have it universally welcomed. That observation may be trite, but whistling past the graveyard is a common personality trait among those of us who grew up in Northern Ireland during what we euphemistically called 'the Troubles.' And Thursday will be just the latest in a series of days that once seemed so improbable as to be barely worth the dream. August 31, 1994 was one. The Irish Republican Army announced a ceasefire, initiating a tortured, faltering process that eventually concluded its 25-year armed campaign. April 10, 1998 was another. The Good Friday Agreement was signed after a long, painful midwifery, nominally ending a conflict that claimed more than 3,000 lives and set Northern Ireland on a path toward peace. That too has been a road rife with potholes and perils, but it is at least still being traveled. It was a period in Northern Ireland that promised to give life to the words of Seamus Heaney, the Nobel-winning poet who grew up 30 miles from Portrush: History says, don't hope On this side of the grave. But then, once in a lifetime The longed-for tidal wave Of justice can rise up, And hope and history rhyme. What happens on July 18 won't have anything approaching the gravity or significance of those other dates. No graves will go unfilled and no enmities will be buried simply because the Royal & Ancient has seen fit to bring the Open to this benighted little province. But it's another small step forward, an acknowledgement that a forlorn seaside town in Northern Ireland is just as worthy of hosting the world's best golfers as the equally faded towns of Scotland and England. BRITISH OPEN: Rounds 1 & 2 tee times | TV info | Photos SPORTS FANS : Here are some of the best credit cards available The Open hasn't been here since 1951, an era when there were less than 100 men in the field and most of them made their living selling sweaters in pro shops. Major sporting events tend not to visit places where there's a fresh pall of gunsmoke. Even in the darkest of days - and there were many, still etched on the faces of older spectators at Royal Portrush this week - the perception distorted the reality. For much of my childhood, the annual death toll from the conflict hovered around 100, a figure described with callous indifference by one British government official as "an acceptable level of violence." One hundred souls. That's about two days worth of murders in the United States. The threat of violence was more pervasive than the violence itself, metasticizing into every aspect of everyday life. Even today, two decades after the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland retains a slightly sinister air, its people still able to decipher clues about the beliefs of strangers from language or utterances that seem meaningless to the untrained ear. As divided as Northern Ireland was and is, one thing unites it: an irascible unwillingness to be looked down upon by our neighbors across the Irish Sea. For all that has been lost here, there remains a brackish pride in what little is left. Northern Ireland was not denied the Open because of the quality of its links, but because of the fractiouness of its people. That we are fractious only with each other and not outsiders counted for naught. Royal Portrush will be a revelation. It is the equal of most courses on the Open rota, and much better than many of them. The town itself will seem comfortably familiar to those who have attended Opens anywhere else. The air carries a strong whiff of fish and chips and the threat of seagull splatter. Prime seafront real estate is given to shabby caravan parks. Dining options are limited for those who prefer their meals served on porcelain rather than in paper. But the 148th Open isn't like the 147 that preceded it of course. If we were at St. Andrews, folks wouldn't fret about language or symbolism that might cause offense. If we were at Muirfield, TV analysts wouldn't hesitate to say the course is at the mercy of bombers. If we were at Birkdale, Rickie Fowler would have packed his iconic head-to-toe orange outfit. That's a politically potent color in these parts. Ricky Elliott, caddie to Brooks Koepka and a Portrush native, gave Fowler a heads up on that long ago. And if Fowler did wear it? He'd be gently laughed at by people who might assault their neighbors for wearing the same. We fight amongst ourselves. The rest of you are entertainment. Guys like Elliott, Clarke, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy know how long and unlikely the journey to Thursday has been, just how distant a pipe dream a Portrush Open was. They must also know that it won't change things, whatever blather the tourist industry peddles. When the Open leaves town, Northern Ireland will remain what it has always been: a beautiful, troubled, misbegotten place that is too often more hostage to its past than hopeful for its future. People here want the 148th Open to be a triumph. It will be, and not just because it exists apart from Northern Ireland's domestic quarrels. These are people who have struggled to shoulder an unfair number of burdens over the years. Staging a wee golf tournament won't be another of them.

For 27 years, Dr. James Heaps was trusted to treat UCLA students as an obstetrician-gynecologist. Now, he's charged with sexual battery for incidents that happened at the university, officials said. The doctor surrendered Monday to law enforcement, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block and Vice Chancellor of UCLA Health Sciences John Mazziotta said in a joint statement. "We understand that these charges relate to care he provided to two patients in 2017 and 2018 at UCLA Health," the UCLA statement said. CNN has reached out to Heaps' attorney for comment. In response to allegations against Heaps, UCLA investigated his conduct, removed him from clinical practice, told him he'd be fired and reported him to the state medical board and law enforcement, the statement said. Heaps then announced he'd retire. University officials did not say how the cases came to light or provide details of the accusations. "Dr. Heaps was an obstetrician-gynecologist who worked on a part-time basis at the UCLA student health center from approximately 1983 to 2010, was hired by UCLA Health in 2014 and held medical staff privileges at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center from 1988 to 2018," the UCLA statement said. UCLA said it is trying prevent crimes like those alleged from happening again. "We are deeply sorry that a former UCLA physician violated our policies and standards, our trust and the trust of his patients," the chancellor and vice chancellor wrote. "Because we know we can and must do better, in March, we initiated an independent review of our institution's response to sexual misconduct in clinical settings. The review is examining UCLA's response to such conduct and whether our policies and procedures to prevent, identify and address sexual misconduct are consistent with best practices." Other campus doctors accused of sex crimes The UCLA case is latest example of university doctors accused of sex crimes against patients. -- Dr. George Tyndall , a former gynecologist at the University of Southern California, was accused of sexual abuse at the school's student health center. More than 100 women have accused Tyndall of sexual misconduct. He was the only full-time gynecologist at the school's Student Health Clinic for 30 years. Tyndall was fired by USC in 2017 for inappropriate behavior. University officials said the school reached a settlement with Tyndall but did not report him at the time to law enforcement or state medical authorities. -- Dr. Richard Strauss was accused by 37 former Ohio State University students of sexual abuse. Strauss died by suicide in 2005. The students sued the university last month, saying Strauss sexually assaulted and abused hundreds of male students, and "OSU officials aided, abetted, and actively concealed Strauss' sexual predation" of students. An OSU spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit shortly after it was filed. -- Dr. Larry Nassar , a former doctor for Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, was sentenced last year to 40 to 175 years in prison after more than 150 women and girls said he sexually abused them over a decade. Michigan State University violated federal law for years by failing to report crime statistics, including a series of sexual assaults committed by Nassar, a preliminary report by the US Department of Education found. MSU said it was cooperating with the Education Department. "The Nassar crimes caused so much pain to so many people, and we have more work to do to address those issues and support the survivors and our community," an MSU official said.


From celery juice to coconut water to apple cider vinegar , there's always something being promoted as the new miracle beverage. And maybe you've recently heard about two options that sound a little strange: aloe vera and cactus juice. Both drinks are made from plants called succulents, which grow in deserts and are known for their unique ability to store water. Plants that are able to survive in harsh environments also often contain powerful molecules they use to defend themselves against the elements. Those are often able to defend your body against enemies like free radicals and inflammation, too. Should you start swigging aloe vera and cactus juice? Here's a quick breakdown of what they are and if they'll really benefit your health. What is aloe vera juice? Aloe vera is a tropical succulent that's also a common houseplant. The gooey substance inside its spiky leaves is well-known as a soothing skin treatment for issues like sunburn. The plant has been used as a natural topical remedy and supplement for all kinds of ailments for thousands of years, around the world. To make aloe vera juice, you typically crush or grind the entire leaf. Potential benefits of aloe vera juice Here's what we know for sure: Aloe vera is super hydrating and contains many important nutrients. Those include amino acids, folic acid, choline, vitamins A, C and E, which are all antioxidants, minerals like calcium, and vitamin B12, which is difficult for vegans to get in their diet. It also contains several anti-inflammatory compounds. Many people say drinking aloe vera juice helps with digestion, but there is little research to back up that point. While the juice can have a laxative effect, some of the components that produce that effect can be toxic in excess. Skin health is similar   many experts swear by aloe vera juice as the secret to clear, glowing skin, but there isn't enough science to support the claim. Of course, a drink that hydrates your body, provides all kinds of important nutrients and has anti-inflammatory properties definitely has potential in terms of improving digestion, and a healthy digestive system (plus proper hydration) is crucial for great skin. So while we don't have proof it will make a huge difference for your body, it's certainly a safe, healthy drink to add to your wellness routine once in a while. What is cactus juice? Cactus juice that people drink for wellness benefits generally comes from the prickly pear (or nopal) cactus, which is native to Mexico. Juice can be extracted from the pads of the cactus, which are like broad, flat leaves, or from the small, round fruit the cactus produces. Many bottled versions contain juice from both parts. Potential benefits of cactus juice Like aloe vera, cactus juice contains plenty of powerful nutrients. It's a great source of vitamin C, which you probably know is good for your immune system and also acts as an antioxidant. The fruit also contains the superstar antioxidants you get from fruits like blueberries, called flavonoids. More research is needed on how drinking the juice affects the body, but one very small study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that participants who ate the fresh fruit pulp had enhanced antioxidant defenses. Cactus juice also delivers calcium, an important mineral for building healthy teeth and bones. The bottom line There is no evidence that either of these options are miracle drinks that will cure you of all your ailments, so you should ignore marketing that claims otherwise. But there's no harm in sipping them once in a while to stay hydrated while reaping the benefits of an antioxidant-rich diet.


Usually, teams who have the best secondaries often limit the number of passing yards allowed. Apparently, Fox Sports didn't get that memo. The outlet sent out a Twitter poll asking "Which NFL team has the best secondary?" The poll, which featured the options of the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles Chargers, Chicago Bears, and Cleveland Browns, curiously left off the team who allowed the fewest passing yards in the league last season. The Buffalo Bills. The Bills led the league by allowing only 179.8 passing yards per game, a 15-yard cushion over the second-place Jacksonville Jaguars. Bills safety Micah Hyde noticed this omission. Hmmm.. that's odd. @NFLonFOX @BuffaloBills https://t.co/c7hdlXWbvD pic.twitter.com/fP9C8QQM1O - Micah Hyde (@micah_hyde) May 16, 2019 Now, it is obvious that there is more to a great pass defense than just the secondary players. A strong pass rush and a great scheme can thwart (or at least limit) some of the game's best passers. However, a team cannot have a great pass defense without a strong secondary. It seems like the Bills have been spurned by this poll. After all, it's only a Twitter poll. Nevertheless, it is a slight disrespect tossed in Buffalo's way. It's up to their secondary to prove this exclusion as wrong.

That's one way to put an end to questions about a quirky swing. Here's how things ended at the inaugural 3M Open, where former college standout Matthew Wolff eagled the final hole to win in just his third start as a professional: Leaderboard: Matthew Wolff (-21), Collin Morikawa (-20), Bryson DeChambeau (-20), Adam Hadwin (-18) What it means: The leaders put on quite a show for Minnesota golf fans coming down the stretch, with Wolff and Morikawa trading birdies. What seemed like a two-man race expanded to three when DeChambeau eagled No. 18, momentarily setting up the prospect of a three-man playoff. But Wolff authored the shot of the tournament, rolling in a 26-foot putt from off the fringe for eagle. When Morikawa couldn't match with an eagle putt of his own a few moments later, Wolff became the first sponsor invite to win a Tour event since 2016. At age 20, he's the first player to win before his 21st birthday since Jordan Spieth in 2013. After a stellar career at Oklahoma State, the former top-ranked amateur is now fully exempt on Tour through 2021 and will play in the Masters and PGA Championship next spring. Round of the day: Wolff started the day with a share of the lead, and facing the pressure of the final group on Sunday all he did was fire a bogey-free 31 across the back nine to put the tournament away. Wolff's lone bogey came from a three-putt on No. 9, and from there he birdied three of the next six holes before his tournament-clinching eagle on No. 18 to cap a fourth straight sub-70 effort. Best of the rest: Morikawa was every bit up for the challenge as he joined Wolff in the final group. The former high school and college competitors rekindled their duel on the professional stage, with Morikawa overcoming a slow start to shoot a 66 with birdies on six of his final eight holes. The former Cal standout continues to be a force since turning pro and his T-2 effort secured temporary Tour membership. Biggest disappointment: When the leaders made the turn, the top spot on the board actually belonged to Wyndham Clark, who like Wolff and Morikawa was in search of his maiden win. But Clark's swing fell apart down the stretch, with multiple instances where the club helicoptered out of his hands after impact. Clark played his final six holes in 1 over to drop into a tie for fifth at 17 under, four shots behind Wolff. Shot of the day: After watching DeChambeau put away an eagle of his own and knowing that Morikawa faced a far easier putt, Wolff's downhill trickler from just left of the 18th green seemed destined for the hole. In time it could become a shot that's replayed as often as Spieth's 72nd-hole bunker shot at the 2013 John Deere Classic that sparked a torrid start to his own pro career. The Wolff is wild!

Arsenal are reported to have submitted a bid in the region of £40m for Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha, as the Gunners continue to chase their first signing of the summer. The Ivorian had yet another impressive season for Palace in 2018/19, scoring ten goals and assisting ten more in 36 appearances, further cementing his status as one of the most exciting players outside of the current top six. BREAKING: Arsenal have today bid £40million for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, Sky Sports News understands   Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) July 1, 2019 He has been widely reported as a target for Arsenal , with the general belief being that he may fall outside of their limited price range, but according to Sky Sports , the Gunners have submitted a first bid in the region of £40m to secure his services. The story is interesting for a number of reasons, none moreso than the fact that Arsenal are reported to have just £40m available as things stand to spend on new players this summer. It could then mean that Emery is prepared to put all his eggs in one basket in order to add Zaha to his forward line, or that previous reports, which seem to have been taken as fact, have underestimated the financial situation at the Emirates. The third potential scenario is that the bid comes in the knowledge that funds will soon be raised through player sales. Both Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have been linked with moves away, which would surely offset the cost of the Crystal Palace forward while opening up a slot for him in the first team. It should be noted, however, that £40m seems likely to fall significantly short of what Palace want for Zaha - a fee of £100m has been touted - so this could simply be the first of many offers submitted by the Arsenal hierarchy.


We heard it all last season. We heard it throughout the entire offseason. And we're still hearing it in the current 2019 season. Is Jimmie Johnson done winning? Does he not have it anymore? In short, Johnson's answer to that: No. The veteran driver of the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet is not only just as determined and driven to win and succeed as he was when he was winning back-to-back championships, he's also not yet done proving himself. "I still definitely have something to prove," Johnson told NASCAR.com. "I love racing. This is who I am and it's what I am. I started doing this at 5. Through my career, I've had plenty of ups and downs and the last couple of years have certainly been down, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stay there. I've worked my entire career to learn what I have today and know what I know." RELATED: Standings for Cup Series Johnson, who is competing in his 18th full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, knows what it takes to win, and after his last two seasons, he knows what it takes to lose. So how does a guy with so much success pull himself out of a slump? "One of the key ingredients for me, throughout my career, has been outworking people," Johnson said. "I'm busy doing that now, trying to put in time when no one else is putting it in and understanding my car in a deeper detail than anyone else." The fact the seven-time champion is currently fighting for a spot in the playoffs is not only shocking but has also placed an unimaginable amount of pressure on him. "The pressure is definitely on. We've helped our situation recently and are a little higher in the points," Johnson said. "With all that said, yes, still plenty of pressure. Momentum is on our side, but there's no momentum like the momentum of a win for you and your team." That doesn't go to say the mostly calm, cool and collected 43-year-old hasn't gotten frustrated and angry at his current winless streak. "The results have been frustrating, there's no way around that, and I guess some comments here and there would reflect that but there's no quit in me," Johnson said. "I love what I do and I love racing." Johnson heads into Saturday's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, NBC Sports App, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio) with three top fives, eight top 10s and one pole this season. RELATED: Unofficial Kentucky Cup lineup In five instances, Johnson has won in his ninth career start at a track. Saturday is his ninth start at the 1.5-mile oval. This is also one of only four tracks he has never taken home the checkered flag. "We've been really close here but just haven't been able to get it done," he said. "I think it's a good thing (adding the traction compound to the track), it gives us more options to choose from, more ways to be competitive and pass." With the recent improvements inside the Hendrick Motorsports camp, there could be a light at the end of this long and winding tunnel for Johnson. "I think now as a group, we're all running in the top 10, if not the top five, and right now we're just trying to find the little subtleties that I want out of the race car and what I need to feel," he said. "At the same time, we're still kind of hitting our stride as the new team 48. There's a lot of new faces on the race team, some changes recently as well. We're still trying to hit our stride together and we're getting closer." An offseason crew chief shakeup hit the No. 48 crew after a winless year in 2018. Chad Knaus, Johnson's longtime crew chief who was there with him for all of his championships, now sits atop the pit box for the young William Byron. Kevin Meendering took over for Johnson, so there was a lot to learn and put together as a new pairing. "Kevin and I have been working hard on it," Johnson said. "Now, as we've spent some time together, he knows what he needs out of me and I know what I need out of him and we continue to work on that relationship." RELATED: Top story lines for Kentucky Times have changed since the beginning of Johnson's racing career, and those changes haven't gone unnoticed, with the equipment, data and information available to drivers constantly evolving. But one thing has always remained the same: his mindset. "My mindset has always been very similar, and Jeff Gordon has really helped me with that through my career and that is, good or bad, that was last weekend and you've got to come in and start with a clean mind and just attack the weekend, the day ahead and take it from there," Johnson said. ]]>


ARLINGTON, Texas   Among the approximately 4.5 trillion complaints and accusations against the hypocrites who run the NCAA is that college football is a de facto minor league for the NFL. Unlike the other three major sports, the NCAA essentially allows the NFL to avoid incurring any of the player developmental costs. A former Dallas Cowboy, who played college ball for four years at Syracuse and earned his degree, does not buy this at all. "I've heard that the NCAA is the 'minor league feeder' program to the NFL. I completely disagree with that," former Dallas Cowboys fullback Daryl "Moose" Johnston recently told me in an interview. "The guys who are going to the NFL are not ready to play at the NFL level at all. When these guys are in college they do not have the time. They have not come close to perfecting their craft. "There are critical positions where they need more time. They need more snaps. They need more practice." Moose, who has served as a football NFL color analyst on Fox for years, recently accepted a gig as director of player personnel for the XFL franchise in Dallas, which will begin play in 2020. The college football season begins in approximately two months, which gives us ample time to prepare for the moral outrage at a system that "exploits free labor in return for universities to make billions." #AngryFaceEmoji #ImSoMad #LoudNoises The system is flawed, and it is the closest thing that exists to an actual minor leagues for pro football. But Moose's larger point is correct: The NCAA is not a true minor league football league, and the sport's developmental system is well behind hockey, football and basketball. In season, per NCAA rules, a college football player can spend no more than 20 hours a week on athletic activities. Now, if you ask any coach, player or administrator, they will all tell you that the kid is spending well over 20 hours a week on athletic activities; the intention is to keep the hours spent on ball at a reasonable number. Then there is the silly little issue of attending class and homework as well as those trivial matters such as sleeping, eating and, God forbid, socializing. That is not a minor league. A minor league is a player whose entire focus is the game. A player who spends well over 40 hours a week on nothing but ball. College football ain't that. Baseball has had such a system in place for decades, the same for hockey. The NBA has actually made traction with the G League, as every franchise now has its own minor league developmental team. The NFL, however … "The jump from college football to the NFL is massive. The jump from high school to college is big; it was for me because I came from a small town but the jump from college to the NFL … it's just that everybody is so good," Johnston said. "We were a good college team, and we could watch film and see, 'Here are two areas where they cannot stop us,' and we could exploit them because you're just better. "You get to the NFL, and you are not 'just better.' It comes down to technique, fundamentals and execution. The guys coming out of college have not perfected their game. They are so restricted in practice time and from being around coaches. Now in the NFL, they are even more restricted from time around coaches (because of the collective bargaining agreement); they are taking the situation at the college level and duplicating it at the pro level." Johnston's hope is that the XFL morphs into a de facto minor leagues for players, and not an alternative to college ball. He was involved in the failed American Alliance of Football that crashed this spring; pro spring ball has done nothing but fail. Outside of the NCAA, any type of developmental football, or "minor league football" has failed. XFL commissioner Oliver Luck said that had the USFL, which existed from 1983 to 1985, maintained its model as a spring league that today it would be a viable business with stable franchises. Once the USFL, at the behest of Donald J. Trump, sued the NFL in court and challenged it with a fall schedule, it suffered an embarrassing death. The NFL tried NFL Europe, and parts of it worked to development players, coaches, broadcasters, officials and front office people. It had flaws, and after 16 years NFL owners were tired of losing tens of millions on the ambitious plan so it died, too. Johnston's hope is that XFL simply acts as a potential bridge to the NFL. With the NFL's collective bargaining agreement expiring after the 2020 season, there is a good chance NFL players will use the XFL in the spring of 2021 to play, and to earn a check. He does not want to see it as an option to college ball; Luck told me that only in select cases would the XFL be willing to accept players who are not three years out of high school. "I don't want this to be an alternative to college football," Johnston said. "I want this to be complimentary. It can function as a minor league, and a bridge. It's an opportunity for more practice. It's an opportunity for game reps." Maybe this model will work, and until it does the most popular sport in America is without a true minor league.     ©2019 Fort Worth Star-Telegram Visit the Fort Worth Star-Telegram at www.star-telegram.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Megan Rapinoe scored twice, but she says the defenders behind her played the game of their lives. Megan Rapinoe was the standout star of the United States ' 2 1 win over France in the World Cup quarterfinals on Friday night, scoring both of her team's goals, but the American back line's performance as a unit was just as important to its quarterfinal victory. "Ridiculous" is how Rapinoe described her defense in a post-match interview. She continues, "Honestly I don't think they've ever played that well together as a group. They stepped their game up huge. We talked about that before the tournament, we're going to need everyone to have those moments where they play better than they ever have, and tonight was that moment for them, they were absolutely massive." Video by Yahoo Sports Rapinoe's goal in the 5th minute set up a style of play that USWNT fans aren't used to seeing: One where the Americans sit deep, concede possession, and don't commit too many numbers forward on counterattacks. The roles are usually reversed, with the No. 1 ranked US team controlling the ball and trying to break down a bunkered opponent. France had 60 percent possession and 20 shots to the USWNT's 10, but the American defense always felt it was in control of the match. "The pressure that we absorbed, we played a defensive formation," USWNT center back Becky Sauerbrunn says after the match. "When you do that, you hold a lower block closer to your own goal to make it harder for them to break down, denying crosses and nice shots in front. And so as you could tell, their outside backs and their center backs had the ball a lot, and that's just something that we wanted them to have as opposed to their attacking players." Sauerbrunn is right, both about who had the ball for France and the quality of Les Bleues ' shots. French central defenders Wendie Renard and Griedge Mbock Bathy completed 56 and 48 passes respectively, while defensive midfielder Élise Bussaglia had 51. France's central attacking midfielder Gaëtane Thiney was excellent when her team could actually get her the ball, recording six passes that led directly to shots, but she only completed 24 passes in total. The USWNT defense also rendered France's substitutes completely ineffective. France manager Corinne Diacre tried to change the match by bringing in playmaking wingers Delphine Cascarino and Viviane Asseyi, but they did nothing. No, really, nothing . Both had zero completed crosses, zero passes leading to shots, and zero shot attempts. They completed three total passes between them. France's goal came off an excellent set piece routine, but that was by far its best chance of the match. Its numerous open play shots were mostly speculative long-range efforts, weak headers, or strikes hit straight into the body of an American defender. France's expected goals tally was surprisingly low for a team that got 20 shots off. xG map for USA - France the US absorbed a ton of pressure and Naeher, Ertz, Sauerbrunn and Dahlkemper were all just about flawless against some of the best attackers in the world pic.twitter.com/hRczX3fPwn   Caley Graphics (@Caley_graphics) June 28, 2019 A big part of why France was unsuccessful at creating chances was the solid performance of Crystal Dunn at left back for the USWNT. Dunn, who plays as a central attacking midfielder for her club team, has often looked out of place in defense. France, believing Dunn to be the weak spot in the American back line, tried to play through their right winger, Kadidiatou Diani, while sending right back Marion Torrent bombing forward to overload that flank. "I'm exhausted," Dunn says after the match. "Diani is an amazing forward and she definitely gave me a run for my money tonight. But at the end of the day, I had a lot of support, and help from my teammates every step of the way." Dunn adds, "There are times where, if I didn't win a tackle, Becky Sauerbrunn was right there behind me, so I never felt like I lost anything." While Dunn was beaten by Diani on a few occasions, she was consistently able to use her speed to recover and get back in front, rendering the French winger completely ineffective   she finished the match with no completed crosses, no passes leading to shots, and no shots on target. United States manager Jill Ellis is probably hoping that she doesn't have to set up her team in a deep bunker again during this World Cup. The second half was nerve-wracking for USWNT fans (and probably coaches). But Ellis' defense impressed when faced with a new kind of challenge, proving it's good enough to adapt to any situation.

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has ended each of the last two seasons on the sideline due to injuries, but that did not stop the team from giving him a contract extension this offseason. During an appearance on SiriusXM NFL Radio, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that he doesn't think the new contract will do anything to change the way Wentz plays or approaches the game. He does think that the experience of coming back from 2017's torn ACL and last year's back injury will be beneficial to Wentz on the field this year. "We're all excited he got the contract . Now it's behind him, behind us and we can move forward," Pederson said. "His adversity and his setbacks the last two seasons were eye openers for him and he's gonna be better for it. He's gonna mature from that and that's the thing I'm most excited [about] when he comes back into training camp and just seeing how his progression has been." Pederson will have plenty of company when it comes to watching to see whether Wentz has made strides as a player, but any progression he makes will be rendered moot if he winds up missing chunks of time again because of injury. That's not a question Pederson can answer, but the new deal Wentz signed is a big bet that he will be in the lineup all year for the first time since 2016.

The Palms Turks and Caicos The best part about the pool at Palms Turks and Caicos isn't what immediately comes to the eye: it's the chilled towels and fresh fruit kabobs passed out each afternoon and the hot tub island in the middle of it (yes, you read that correctly). Amanoi, Vietnam. While the beaches at Amanoi, Vietnam are worth the trek alone, the pool is the place to be when the sun goes down, for the coastal views. Villa Rea, Ornos Bay, Mykonos. Only at Villa Rea can you have an infinity pool with views of the the starkly beautiful barren hills and sea completely to yourself. St. Peter's Bay, Barbados. For those looking for family-friendly pools the one at St. Peter's Bay in Barbados has something for everyone with new activities each day, views of the pristine beach, and every water sport activity you can think of in a stone's throw.
