The Commanders have been savvy about building around him (and his cheap contract) too, trading for left tackle Laremy Tunsil and wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Washington also added a first-round offensive tackle in Josh Conerly Jr. and re-signed tight end Zach Ertz. This is a team set to compete for Super Bowls for many years to come.

After fast start, Sparks fall to league-leading Lynx at home
For nearly four magical minutes in the first quarter, an upset of the WNBA's best team seemed scarily possible. What seemed scarier, perhaps, was that the team doing the damage spent most of the season fighting to crawl out of the league's cellar. For those 3:59 minutes, the Sparks rattled off 16 unanswered points as Arena transformed into both a basketball spectacle and animated musical. The children in nearly every section of the Sparks' home smacked their thundersticks like war drums as tiny voices belted out lyrics to SpongeBob SquarePants, Moana and Frozen. It was a mini-Disneyland inside the Sparks' building on Kids Day, the entire bowl pulsing with shrieks, slaps and sugar highs. For a fleeting stretch, it felt like an exhilarating return to the mid-2010s. Yet just as quickly as the magic appeared, it vanished. So suddenly, and so drastically, the newest 'happiest place on earth' lost its shimmer, replaced by cross-court turnovers, limited looks at the rim and the deflation of momentum as the Lynx (18-3) steamrolled to a 91-82 victory over the Sparks (6-14) on Thursday afternoon. What had been a 16-0 run through 3:59 minutes of play to build an 18-7 lead in the first quarter turned out to be the only bright spot amid an otherwise sore 36 minutes. Not just for the players, but for the children with their thundersticks that had less and less reason make noise. After Lynx guard Alanna Smith propelled her team to an early 7-2 advantage with a three-pointer and a layup — exhibiting the pace and precision of a team that's lost only three games all season — the momentum became all purple and yellow. Spurred on by a three-point barrage from guards Kelsey Plum and Julie Allemand as well as forward Rickea Jackson, the Sparks racked up 16 straight points — keeping All-Star captain Napheesa Collier and her Lynx teammates silent through the process. But the lopsided scoreboard would have a short lifespan. What looked like a cushion turned into a trap. After the 16-0 run, the Sparks eased up and the Lynx pounced, trimming their deficit to four by the end of the first quarter as sloppiness and defensive lapses by L.A. mounted. The Lynx erased 'deficit' from their dictionary — and just about everything from the Sparks' playbook. Fueled by nine L.A. turnovers in the second quarter, Minnesota made 11 baskets — nearly as many as the Sparks had shot attempts for a 50-40 halftime lead. The Lynx outscored the Sparks 30-19 in the third quarter to take a commanding 80-59 lead that proved insurmountable.

National Anthem For Fever-Valkyries Game is Turning Heads
National Anthem For Fever-Valkyries Game is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After missing another five straight games due to a groin injury, Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark finally made her return. Advertisement On Wednesday, Caitlin Clark and the Fever continued their five-game homestand by hosting her close friend Kate Martin and the Golden State Valkyries for the first time. The Fever vs. Valkyries game, along with several other WNBA matchups this week, tipped off at noon ET as part of the league's 'Camp Day,' or "Kids Day," initiative, which gives summer camps and youth organizations the chance to attend a game during the day. Ten-year-old Sophia Hope had a bit more to talk about than most kids at the Fever vs. Valkyries game. Before tipoff, the Chicago native performed her rendition of the 'Star-Spangled Banner' in front of the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It was nothing new for Hope, who has sung the anthem multiple times for Chicago-based teams. "10-year-old Sophia Hope performed the National Anthem ahead of today's Kids Day game," the Indiana Fever wrote on X. Advertisement WNBA fans were impressed with Hope's national anthem performance, taking to social media to leave their thoughts. "🎼🎼🎤Beautiful girl and voice," one fan said. "Many kids are actually better then grown singers," added another. "What a beautiful job Sophie! Thoroughly impressed!" wrote a third. "AMERICAS TEAM," wrote a fourth. "Beautiful," posted a fifth. "Amazing job!! 🇺🇲 🇺🇲 🇺🇲," added a sixth. The Indiana Fever listen to the National Anthem before a gameGrace Smith/USA Today Network via Imagn Images In their recent stretch without Clark, the Fever became relatively inconsistent. They defeated the first-placed Minnesota Lynx in the Commissioner's Cup championship, but fell to the 6-13 Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — The Lexington Legends take pride in being the city's professional baseball team, a tradition that will be celebrated this summer in their 25th anniversary season. The ballclub held media day on Wednesday afternoon at Legends Field as it gears up for opening weekend this upcoming weekend at home, with opening day on Friday.

He was the 7th highest college catcher prospect that year by D1Baseball. Lexington Legends announce partnership with Kentucky bourbon, exclusive giveaway 'It's a special place, you know. I think it is good, you know, to have some people that, you know, fans can cling to, and there's plenty of guys on this team that do that as well. other than the local guys. But I think, you know, it's a special group,' Cottam said. Pitcher Dustin Beggs also suited up for the Blue and White in the springs of 2015 and 2016 before being drafted by the Miami Marlins in 2016. Another local name is excited to make a return to Legends Field in Colin Burgess, a Tates Creek alum who won the KHSAA baseball state championship on that same exact field with the Commodores in 2019. 'Yeah. You know, it's really nice to be back. Nice to be home with the parents and the dog. Last time I was here, I went to state. So hopefully with another ring this year. I've been hanging out with a bunch of my buddies from back home that I grew up with, and I've been talking to them, a bunch of the guys I've brought around them too, you know, so they'll come out to a couple of the games. Hopefully, they don't get too rowdy, but should be fun,' Burgess said. Lexington Legends celebrate 25 years as the team looks ahead to upcoming season Competing in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball (ALPB) for five years now, the Legends are not affiliated like a minor league team, but sometimes have players catch the attention of MLB organizations and sign contracts to jump into a team's farm system.
