Micah Parsons' viral Steelers trade comments resurface amid Cowboys contract drama
Micah Parsons sent shockwaves through the NFL with his trade request becoming official — but this wasn't the first time he's discussed leaving the Cowboys, as his viral Steelers trade comments have begun to resurface on social media. Back in February, Parsons sat down with former Steelers CB turned CBS Sports analyst Bryant McFadden in a one-on-one interview. McFadden asked Parsons if he rocked with the Steelers and claimed he could see the young defender wearing the Black and Gold — and in response, the Cowboys superstar dropped a bombshell. "Yeah, I do," Parsons said, confirming his interest in the Steelers. "I said, if I ever returned home, it was going to be Pittsburgh." Parsons, a Pennsylvania native, would surely be welcomed with open arms in Pittsburgh — but the path to making that dream a reality is nearly impossible, potentially requiring the Steelers to part ways with another high-profile edge rusher.

Little Silver golf sensation Chris Gotterup debuting at FedExCup and $100 million jackpot
Having established himself as one of the top young golfers in the world over the past month, Little Silver's Chris Gotterup heads into the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs with a chance to win a championship. The 26-year-old Gotterup will be in the field at this week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, the first of three playoff events that conclude with the Tour Championship in Atlanta Aug. 21-24. Gotterup, who won the Scottish Open last month before finishing third at the British Open, is in his second season on the PGA Tour, with the former Rutgers star finishing No. 23 in year-long FedExCup points race, qualifying for the postseason for the first time. More: 'It was spectacular': Legendary Shore golf coach reacts to Chris Gotterup winning Scottish Open The top 70 players in the points standings are eligible for the playoffs, featuring a progressive cut with fields of 70 (FedEx St. Jude Championship), 50 (BMW Championship) and 30 (TOUR Championship). The FedExCup bonus distribution total is $100 million, with the champion earning $10 million. Gotterup, who won a Shore Conference Tournament title playing for CBA, has had a breakout season in 2025, with nearly $3.9 million in earnings so far. It brings his career earnings to $5.7 million, having won twice. One of the most impressive stats is that he's fourth overall in scoring average at 69.2. He's also one of the longest hitters on Tour, ranking No. 9 in driving distance at 316.3 yards, and ranks second in greens in regulation. With a good showing in the playoffs, Gotterup could earn himself a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup squad, which takes on the European team at Bethpage Black on Long Island in September.

Stephen A. Smith Warns Gilbert Arenas On Drastic Consequences Of Treating Federal Charges As A Joke
Stephen A. Smith Warns Gilbert Arenas On Drastic Consequences Of Treating Federal Charges As A Joke originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Gilbert Arenas came back into the center of controversy years after his gun charges cost him a suspension in the NBA during his career. Earlier this week, Arenas was arrested by federal agents on charges of running an illegal gambling business, in connection with a member of an Israeli transnational crime group. Just a few hours later, Arenas was indicted, and he pleaded 'not guilty' and was allowed to submit a bail bond valued at $50,000. Following this, he went on a freedom press tour off-sorts, despite the trial date being set for late September. He called out multiple people, including Kwame Brown, and did not seem to have a care in the world as he openly admitted he would turn on the other defendants linked with him in this case. This press tour did not sit well with Stephen A. Smith, who has personally known Arenas for multiple years. In the latest episode he recored of his podcast, Smith directly addressed Arenas out of concern. Stephen A. started by clarifying that none of this is hostile, and he respects Gilbert Arenas and his knowledge of the game at a very high level. But he admitted he was 'alarmed' by what Arenas said. 'In light of what he's being accused of, however, I'm still gonna say to Gil, Bro, I need you not to play around. Because my brother, I don't want to see you in jail at all." 'It's not a good look. It's nothing to laugh about. It's nothing to joke around about and think is funny when the feds come raiding your home. I don't want to see that. I don't want to hear about anything like that.' 'I can assure you, anybody who wants to do business with you, and I'm one of those people. ESPN, Underdog, a whole bunch of sponsors and advertisers, we don't want to see that. 'Anybody that knows anything about you and your knowledge of the game and your ability to articulate and deliver your positions, my brother, you are a special talent. We don't want to see that [going to jail].' 'And the reason why I felt compelled to come on the airwaves and address you directly is because I want to remind you of what really got you in trouble in the NBA to begin with. Remember that years ago…Remember all of that with the guns in the locker room? Remember all of that? Remember all of that that happened? 'And you remember what really got you in trouble thereafter? Because, as bad of a look as that was, and as much as former Commissioner David Stern and others were ready to bring the heavy hand down upon you, what really exacerbated the situation is that you had a game a night or two later against the Philadelphia 76ers... You were joking around, feigning as if you were shooting guns.' 'And David Stern went ballistic. It was like somebody like you had no place in this league. Because it's not a joking matter to other people. And the reality is, is that my brother, it shouldn't be a joking matter to you.' As a result of the gun charges in 2009, Arenas was suspended for 50 games as his behavior seemed to enrage David Stern, per Smith. Similarly, Smith believes that to a court of law, such behaviour after his arrest may not be seen as positively as Arenas hopes for it to be. The trial is set to begin on September 23, as Gilbert Arenas could be looking at 15 years in prison (three counts, five years maximum sentence for each).This story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
