Player Summary
Joshua Braun has made his way around the SEC, but he has proven that he more than belongs among the conference's talent. Braun has good athleticism to pull when asked to and can be a lead blocker for a running back. He has a good base and balance to handle defenders who either blitz or collide with him in the open field. All in all, Braun has some tools to work with, but being in one consistent program is needed for him to take the next step, truly. I think it is possible, given his athletic style and build.

Saints star Alvin Kamara asks for do-over after terrible first pitch before Cubs-Cardinals game
New Orleans Saints star running back Alvin Kamara will not be making the transition to the baseball diamond anytime soon. Kamara, 29, threw out the first pitch before the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals played at Wrigley Field Saturday, and it did not go well. Kamara, wearing a Cubs' jersey with his name and the No. 41, yanked the first pitch. The Saints star running back threw it about 45 feet and nearly outside the lefty batter's box. The Cubs' mascot, Clark the Cub, who was catching Kamara's first pitch, had to reach over and make a nice backhand pick just to keep it in front of him. Kamara was so displeased with his pitch he started flapping his glove and asked for a do-over. Clark the Cub obliged and threw the ball back to Kamara. The running back got a second chance, and the Cubs' faithful booed after the ball was thrown back to Kamara. The second pitch was much better for the Saints star. Kamara fired one, still a little wild, but in the air for all 60 feet that Clark the Cub snared. Kamara raised up his arms and gave Clark the Cub a hug in celebration. Saints fans have seen Kamara celebrate a lot over his eight-year career. The star running back has scored 60 rushing touchdowns and 25 receiving touchdowns. Last season, in 14 games, Kamara rushed for 950 yards with six rushing touchdowns while hauling in 68 passes for 543 yards and two receiving touchdowns. Kamara will be relied upon heavily next season to carry the load after quarterback Derek Carr retired earlier this offseason, leaving the team with a quarterback competition to begin training camp.

Since landing in the picturesque city of Lausanne, Team USA has been laser-focused on a singular goal: capturing the FIBA U19 World Cup title.

NFL Fans Loving Annie Agar's Fourth Of July Swimsuit
NFL Fans Loving Annie Agar's Fourth Of July Swimsuit originally appeared on The Spun. Social media influencer Annie Agar went all out for the Fourth of July this year. Agar, an NFL correspondent for Chicago Sports Network, has built a loyal following on Instagram, TikTok and X over the past few years. Fans love when she does her weekly recaps during the season. She goes out of her way to mock the NFC North since she's a diehard fan of the Green Bay Packers. Prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, fans were truly worried about Agar because she was sporting a black eye. It turns out she fainted in her bathroom. "Guys, I'm OK. Thank you all for asking," Agar said. "Just in an extreme amounts of pain in my eyebrow and probably concussed. So other than that, everything's fine. The story is not that exciting. I drove home from St. Louis from my speech. I felt very dehydrated. I woke up the next day, felt super nauseous when I got up, walked to the bathroom and just passed out. I don't remember falling. I don't remember anything. I woke up with this (a black eye) and I think I drilled my head on either the corner of something or the floor. It was not fun – 10 out of 10 would not recommend." The good news is that Agar has fully recovered from her concussion and fractured nose. On Friday afternoon, Agar shared a photo of her wearing an American flag swimsuit along with the caption "don't feel too bad england, the week 1 bengals lost to the patriots too." Most of Agar's social media followers raved about her patriotic outfit. Others, however, were too busy laughing at her caption. "Absolute perfection," one fan commented. "God bless America," a second fan said. "Sorry, England. Beating you wasn't enough, so we're gonna make you watch the Jets play there every year," another fan wrote. "Thanks for the reminder," a social media user said. "Happy 4th of July!" This won't be the last time Agar goes viral this summer, that's for sure. That being said, NFL fans will have to wait until Week 1 to witness another hilarious press conference skit from Agar. Fans can check out Agar's work Fans Loving Annie Agar's Fourth Of July Swimsuit first appeared on The Spun on Jul 5, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 5, 2025, where it first appeared.
