Division-I head football coach qualifies for his state amateur
That player also happens to be the Golden Hurricane's head football coach.
Tre Lamb shot 3-over 75 Thursday at Forest Ridge in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to qualify for the Oklahoma State Amateur. The 35-year-old Lamb, who was hired in December after leading Gardner-Webb to its first Big South title in almost two decades, went out in even-par 36 before carding a bounce-back birdie, his second of the day, at the par-4 15th following a two-hole stretch of bogey-double.
Lamb now advances to the championship, which is set for July 21-24 at Cedar Ridge Country Club, also in Broken Arrow. The tournament features 18 holes of stroke play followed by a 32-man match-play bracket.

CeeDee Lamb supports Cowboys teammate Micah Parsons: 'Just pay the man'
Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons wants out. Amid talks around what would likely be a near-record or record-breaking contract extension, Parsons has requested a trade on Friday, Aug. 1, bringing to a head an already contentious standoff. Parsons has been one of the Cowboys' best players since he entered the league in 2021, and another one of Dallas' stars weighed in on social media to support him. Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb posted on his X account writing, "Never fails dawg. Just pay the man, what you owe em. No need for the extra curricular 😒 [sic]." PARSONS: Cowboys star pass rusher says he wants out of Dallas Lamb and Parsons have been the Cowboys' top young players on offense and defense, respectively, over the past five seasons. Dallas drafted Lamb No. 17 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, and he's made four Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams (two second-teams, one first-team) in his five years in the NFL. Last offseason, Lamb held out through training camp for a contract extension ahead of the final year of his rookie deal. Dallas eventually signed him to a four-year, $136 million extension that made him the second-highest paid wide receiver by average annual value (AAV) in he NFL at the time. DALLAS: Fights broke out at Cowboys camp. The punishment was brutal Dallas drafted Parsons one year later at No. 12 overall, and he's enjoyed similar success. Parsons was the Defensive Rookie of the Year and a first-team All-Pro player in his first season. He's made two more All-Pro teams (one first-team, one second-team) in the ensuing three seasons. Only four players have more sacks than Parsons since he entered the league: Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt, Trey Hendrickson and Nick Bosa. Parsons is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie contract just like Lamb last offseason. He could similarly end up signing a deal late in the preseason that would make him one of the top-paid players in the league. Dez Bryant backs Parsons Another top Cowboys wide receiver to wear No. 88 is supporting Parsons as well. Former Dallas wideout Dez Bryant posted on X to back Parsons and his trade request. "Much respect and love brotha," Bryant wrote. "You don't know how much I really respect you for standing your ground. Do what's best for you 🙏🏿 ⭐️"

Jets CB Thinks He Can Fluster Steelers' DK Metcalf
The New York Jets continue to trash talk the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of their Week 1 matchup this season. There is certainly not a lack of storylines for the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets, and now yet another player has added one. Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner claims he knows how to fluster Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. 'Me and DK don't even talk,' Gardner said on Up & Adams. 'When he gets mad about something, he wants to block you hella hard. That's his thing. I feel like I can get to him, but that's how he takes his anger out.' Metcalf has had a tendency to draw some penalties throughout his NFL career. With Gardner looking to do just that to begin the season, Metcalf will have to be extra aware. However, Gardner will also have to be aware of the athlete Metcalf is. The 6-foot-4, 229-pound wide receiver has never had less than 900 receiving yards and five touchdowns in a season. Gardner doesn't lack any respect for the Steelers' new weapon, though. 'If he gets mad, he wants to go block somebody hella hard, or when he got the ball, he wants to try to run somebody over,' he said. 'I respect that.' Only time will tell who will get the better of the other in the matchup, but that is just one of many headlines entering the game. The most notable is, of course, quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Justin Fields facing their former teams. Jets pass rusher Will McDonald IV also had some words for Rodgers with the countdown on. Metcalf has recorded 438 catches for 6,324 yards and 48 touchdowns in his six-year NFL career.
