Saints rookie Tyler Shough explains why he's rooting for Jets QB Justin Fields
We learned a lot about Tyler Shough in his sit-down interview on the St. Brown Podcast with Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and his brother, former New Orleans Saints wideout Equanimeous St. Brown. For one thing, Shough is ready to stand ten toes down in defense of New Orleans' food scene; for another, he knows Marques Colston by sight, and how to say his name right. That's something some fans never figured out. But we learned some more meaningful things about Shough, too, especially about his personal maturity and the tough journey he's taken to the NFL. A series of injuries delayed his college career and forced him to watch as other quarterbacks he had outplayed turned pro ahead of him. And the lesson he took from that experience was to use it as motivation, not as an anchor weighing him down. "I think the biggest thing from that, is just like, high school kids, college kids watching, don't compare yourselves to others. Do it from a competitive standpoint but don't let it shut you down," Shough began. There's a fine line between using someone else's accomplishments to set your own goals and growing envious, jealous, or bitter over their success. And Shough used a great example of how those feelings can be fuel for positivity, so long as he keeps perspective that everyone's path is different: "I always thought I was better than the guys in my class coming out at the Opening. That's innate, my innate belief, and you see guys like Trevor Lawrence -- three-year career, win a national championship, and I'm like, 'Man that would have been sick.' And year after year you see guys get drafted like, 'Man I'm better than this dude, I'm better than this dude.' But you kind of have to go through your own circumstance and opportunity to grow as a person and a player because if I would have had three-years, four-years career who knows? I may be entitled or I may be out of the league at this point." Shough competed alongside eleven other high-profile quarterback recruits at the 2017 Nike Opening, and while he learned quickly that he wasn't he biggest fish in that pond, he did come away from the event with a better grasp of his skills compared to his peers. Of those dozen quarterbacks who shared the field back in 2017, five didn't make it to the NFL. Two of them entered the league as first round picks in 2021 (Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields), with Matt Corral joining them a year later as a third rounder. But the remaining three passers were picked in Rounds 5 or 6 in the 2023 and 2024 drafts. It wasn't until the Saints picked Shough in 2025's second round that the book shut on the Opening's 2017 quarterback class. Some of those guys are still around -- Trevor Lawrence remains the Jacksonville Jaguars' franchise quarterback, while Tanner McKee is hanging on with the Philadelphia Eagles (despite speculation he could join Shough and his former coach Kellen Moore in New Orleans), who also added Dorian Thompson-Robinson this offseason. Devin Leary re-signed with the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year. Justin Fields is getting a fresh start on the New York Jets. And Fields is someone who Shough is watching closely. "But Justin's a great example, as far as like, I think he's gonna do really well for the reasons I hope I'm gonna do really well," Shough began. "He came in the league, obviously had a great college career. It was, like, pretty picturesque. No. 2 overall pick, kind of had Chicago obviously up and down, maybe, as you could call it. Goes to Steelers and had a weird situation, and I'm sure he's thinking to himself, 'Man, this sucks,' you know? But now he's in a new situation, fresh start, where I think he can just go out there and ball. That's, to me, where I felt like I had those doubts." He clapped his hands for emphasis: "And now, here we go."

180 Central Police Force Companies Deployed For Amarnath Yatra: Jammu Police Chief
Jammu: A total of 180 companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), which is 30 more than previous years, have been deployed for the security of annual Amarnath Yatra in Jammu division this year, a senior police officer said on Thursday. Inspector General of Police, Jammu zone, Bhim Sen Tuti assured a safe pilgrimage to every 'yatri' but appealed them to undertake the journey in official convoys if they plan to travel from Jammu rather than travelling independently. The 38-day-long yatra to 3,880-meter-high holy cave shrine of Amarnath in south Kashmir Himalayas is scheduled to start from the twin routes -- the traditional 48-km Pahalgam route in the Anantnag district and the 14-km shorter but steeper Baltal route in the Ganderbal district -- on July 3. The first batch of pilgrims will leave for Kashmir from Jammu's Bhagwati Nagar base camp a day before the start of the annual yatra. "Police are alert to ensure the security of every (Amarnath) pilgrim. Five districts (Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur and Ramban) form a circuit through which the yatra passes (in Jammu region). The CAPF personnel have reached here and their total deployment is 180 companies which is 30 more than the last year," the IGP said. Talking to reporters after flagging off an anti-drug awareness tableau from district police lines on the occasion of International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking here, he said they have increased the deployment from Lakhanpur in Kathua - the gateway to Jammu and Kashmir border Punjab to Jammu. "We have also introduced Road Opening Patrols and also covered the area which used to have skeleton deployment in the past," Tuti said. The Jammu police chief said Jammu and Kashmir is a sensitive region and the deployment has been made keeping the requirement in mind. "My appeal to Amarnath pilgrims intending to plan their yatra from Jammu to join the official convoy rather than travelling independently to the valley," the IGP said. Two convoys traditionally leave Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu for Pahalgam and Baltal under tight security arrangements on a daily basis during the yatra period. On the efforts to curb drug menace in the region, he said Jammu and Kashmir is a border state and "our fight is not only against terrorism but also narcotic business which is used to fund terror activities."

Tyler Shough reveals when he learned about Derek Carr's surprise retirement
The biggest news of the New Orleans Saints offseason wasn't the team hiring Kellen Moore as head coach, or their decision to draft Kelvin Banks Jr. in the first round. It was Derek Carr's surprise retirement due to a serious shoulder injury. The Saints drafted Carr's replacement in the second round, and for his part, Tyler Shough is excited to seize the opportunity Carr's retirement creates for him. Shough sat down with Amon-Ra St. Brown and his brother Equanimeous on the St. Brown Podcast to talk about his college career, the start of his NFL journey, and his experience with the Saints so far. He was asked about learning the news of Carr's retirement and what that opportunity meant for him. "Kellen told me before they announced it (before) practice, which was good. I think I had media later that day and they didn't want me to go in blind," Shough reflected. "But like you said, the word 'opportunity' just sticks in my head. Regardless (of whether Carr retired or not) I think it would've been great just because of who he is and how high of a level he's played at, to come in and learn from, I'm going to come in and compete regardless and try to get better. I think for me and what I've been through, I've been carted off the field, I've been booed, I've been the MVP, I've been the starter, I've been the backup to (Justin) Herbert." It's clear that Shough is keeping perspective about all this, finishing: "I'm still a rookie. I may be older but I've got to earn the respect of everybody and do my job." Amon-Ra St. Brown made note of that -- he and Shough were part of the same high school class and their birthdays are only separated by a month, but he's already played in 70 NFL games (including the playoffs) and is preparing for Year 5, while Shough's career is just starting. To that point, Shough said it's important that guys not compare themselves to each other. "I think the biggest thing from that, is just like, high school kids, college kids watching, don't compare yourselves to others. Do it from a competitive standpoint but don't let it shut you down. I always thought I was better than the guys in my class coming out at the Opening. That's innate, my innate belief, and you see guys like Trevor Lawrence -- three-year career, win a national championship, and I'm like, 'Man that would have been sick.' And year after year you see guys get drafted like, 'Man I'm better than this dude, I'm better than this dude.' But you kind of have to go through your own circumstance and opportunity to grow as a person and a player because if I would have had three-years, four-years career who knows? I may be entitled or I may be out of the league at this point," Shough said. It's a great stance to take; it's natural to feel competitive and use that as fuel, but development isn't linear, and everyone takes their own journey. Shough's maturity shines through in moments like this. Maybe it makes a difference as he prepares to compete with Spencer Rattler to start in Carr's place this summer.

Chokers no more: For South Africa, the past stayed in the past
Bavuma, who conceded he'd batted against the wishes of his coaches while hobbling with a hamstring injury during his critical innings of 66, said he tried not to let the Australian onfield digs of being 'chokers' get to him. 'This morning one of their players threw out the fact we could get bowled out, lose our eight wickets for 60 runs. I definitely heard that,' he said. ' I definitely heard that. 'Aiden kept using the word 'lock in' after every over, 'let's keep locking in, let's give them nothing'. Resuming with 69 runs to win and eight wickets in hand on Saturday, the captain's dismissal early had triggered some familiar twitching in the South African camp. The loss of Tristan Stubbs shortly after kept the match alive longer than fans might have liked. But this time, there was no collapse. No mix-up. No error in calculation or nerve. When the winning runs came — a thick cover drive from Kyle Verreynne that burst through and brought the players sprinting on — they weren't just celebrating a match won. They were celebrating a narrative turned on its head. It was on Friday when South Africa's fate took a remarkable turn. And here's the kicker: 26 years to the day since Herschelle Gibbs infamously 'dropped the World Cup' at Headingley, sparking Australia's resurrection en route to the final. On June 13, 1999, Steve Waugh's now-immortal line burned itself into South African sporting lore. On June 13, 2025, Opening batsman Aiden Markram and Bavuma rewrote that story. The relatively unheralded lineup began to rewrite that script. Markram's poised 136 was a masterclass in patience and precision. He and his captain — a player whose own rise was marked by overcoming doubt and adversity—crafted a vital partnership of 147 runs that steadied a potentially fragile chase. 'It'll be great to not have to hear it again,' Markham said of the 'choker' tag. 'To have got the job done and get rid of that is quite a big thing for this team.' His innings embodied the transformation of a team historically burdened by pressure into one capable of withstanding the weight of expectation. South Africa's sporting fans have been conditioned to success, with the Springboks lifting rugby World Cups in 1995, 2007, 2019 and 2023. Golf, too, springs to mind, with Player, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen. But for cricket, the narrative was far more complicated—success had been elusive, overshadowed by near misses and self-inflicted wounds. The 'chokers' tag may not vanish overnight, but it might have met its match — in a team that stayed present, held its nerve, and rewrote history. For once, the past stayed in the past. The choke never came. And South Africa, finally, stood tall.
