L.A. County firefighters to receive Pat Tillman Award at ESPYs

In January, as wildfires tore through greater Los Angeles, more than 7,500 emergency personnel mobilized — confronting searing heat and extreme winds, trying to contain the devastation. Among them stood an Olympic gold medalist and a professional soccer champion. L.A. County firefighters David Walters and Erin Regan, former athletes who were among the 7,500 emergency personnel who responded to the January wildfires in Southern California, earned them this year's Pat Tillman Award for Service that will be presented at the ESPY Awards. The award — named after Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinals safety who left the NFL to enlist in the Army following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and was killed in action — celebrates those with deep ties to sports who have served others, embodying Tillman's legacy. Years before joining the fire department, Walters helped the U.S. win the 4x200-meter freestyle relay gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. He swam the lead leg in the preliminaries, helping the team set an Olympic record that paved the way for a world-record win in the final. During the fires, Walters recounted the exhausting conditions as crews fought blazes that scorched nearly 38,000 acres — claiming the lives of 30 people and destroying homes, businesses and landmarks in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades. 'We're pretty much trying to keep what is left here standing,' Walters told NewNation. 'So we're not laying down. We're staying in our position — that's correct, I did sleep on top of the hose bed last night, just staying ready to do what we can still do.' Walters told ESPN he is honored to serve Los Angeles. 'This has been a challenging year, but also a rewarding one as we watched the Los Angeles community come together to support their neighbors,' he said in ESPN's award announcement. Regan, who joined the department in 2008, once anchored the Washington Freedom to a Women's United Soccer Association title following a stellar goalkeeping career at Wake Forest, where she earned first-team All-ACC honors and broke multiple school records. Outside of firehouse duties, Regan champions female representation in the fire service. She co-founded Girls' Fire Camp, a one-day program introducing young girls to firefighting, and launched the Women's Fire Prep Academy, offering mentorship and hands-on training for aspiring female firefighters. 'My career choice was inspired by my family's history of public service, so receiving this award is a tribute to the many great influences that shaped my upbringing,' Regan said in ESPN's award announcement. 'As first responders, we take pride in hard work and serving others, and I'm truly humbled to be recognized alongside incredible heroes like Pat Tillman.' The ESPYs, hosted by comedian Shane Gillis, will air on ABC and steam on ESPN+ on July 16 at 8 p.m. PDT.

Dana White responds to Justin Gaethje's UFC retirement ultimatum: 'That's pretty wacky'

LAS VEGAS – Dana White has reiterated in the past how he feels about UFC fighters contemplating retirement. Justin Gaethje (26-5 MMA, 9-5 UFC) thought he was snubbed out of Saturday's lightweight title fight, which saw Ilia Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) knock out Charles Oliveira to claim the vacant belt in the UFC 317 main event at T-Mobile Arena. Gaethje said he would consider retiring if he wasn't next in line for the title after doing the UFC solids on numerous occasions. "The Highlight" was in line for a lightweight title shot last year, but wound up defending his BMF title against Max Holloway at UFC 300. He lost the fight by knockout, but rebounded with a win over Rafael Fiziev at UFC 313. White wasn't a fan of Gaethje's title shot demands. "Listen, everybody has their opinions," White told MMA Junkie and other reporters during the UFC 317 post-fight news conference. "If you're thinking about retiring, you know how I feel about that: You should probably retire. We love Justin Gaethje, and Justin Gaethje did step up and he's been an exciting, fun fighter to have here in the UFC. But to say, 'Listen, unless you give me a title shot I'm retiring,' that's pretty wacky." After Topuria knocked out Oliveira, Paddy Pimblett was brought into the octagon for a face-off. In a post-fight interview with the UFC, Topuria said there aren't any more legends for him to face until host McKenzie Pavacich suggested Gaethje – which Topuria shrugged off. "Por favor," Topuria said dismissively. "The only thing that I realized is that (people who want me to fight Gaethje) don't like the guy, because I don't know why you want to put him against me."

The 15 most intriguing NBA free agents available in 2025

NBA free agency is here, with the 6 p.m. ET start to the negotiating period on Monday, June 30. That means we might get a whole bunch of reported news that evening with signings and moves. Before that? It's time to start looking at the biggest names available, and we've decided to look at it with intrigue. The superstars available? That's more of a trade thing. But there are some players who could turn an also-ran into more of a contender, and that's what we're focused on here. MORE NBA: Tracking the top 2025 undrafted free agents So let's dive in! Here are the most intriguing names on the market in the NBA as we get set for the free agency madness: 1. C Myles Turner STATUS: Unrestricted The Indiana Pacers center is your ideal modern NBA anchor in the middle -- he can block shots on one end and hit threes on the other. Any team could plug him in and see his presence pay dividends immediately. 2. SF Jonathan Kuminga STATUS: Restricted Hmm. Is Kuminga a flawed player who Steve Kerr struggled to figure out? Or a young player still figuring it out who has untapped potential? If it's the latter, expect an offer sheet from a team rolling the dice. 3. PG Josh Giddey STATUS: Restricted The Chicago Bulls player had a great year as a distributor and rebounder and could be another offer sheet candidate. 4. C Brook Lopez STATUS: Unrestricted Yes, he's getting old. But no, he's not looking old. Dude can still block shots and hit threes. 5. C Deandre Ayton STATUS: Unrestricted There's a lot of chatter about where he's headed after the Blazers bought him out (COUGH Lakers COUGH COUGH), and while Ayton's skills on the defense end aren't the best, he's a scorer and a rebounder in the middle. 6. SG Cam Thomas STATUS: Restricted He can score! We know that much. Everything else? ... Not quite his game. But there's value here that can be unearthed on the right roster. 7. SG Ty Jerome STATUS: Unrestricted He was a terrific glue guy in Cleveland, with some scoring, threes and steals every game. 8. PF Santi Aldama STATUS: Restricted I'm curious if he gets an offer sheet given his stretch forward skills. 9. SG Nickeil Alexander-Walker STATUS: Unrestricted A 3-and-D player who will make himself some money this offseason. 10. C Clint Capela STATUS: Unrestricted He can still rebound and block shots. That's something. 11. SG Quentin Grimes STATUS: Restricted He EXPLODED in Philly, so maybe that was a sign of things to come. 12. PF Dorian Finney-Smith STATUS: Unrestricted See above for what I said about 3-and-D guys. 13. SG Bruce Brown STATUS: Unrestricted Another glue guy for contenders. 14. SF Duncan Robinson STATUS: Unrestricted You need shooting from a stretch forward? Here you go. 15. SG Caris LeVert STATUS: Unrestricted An effective shooting guard who can score. Not a home-run hitter, but that's not a bad thing.
