Magic remain winless at Las Vegas summer league, but luckily results aren’t the primary objective | Analysis • Rory McIlroy hates LIV so much that he’d ‘retire’ if it was last place to golf on Earth
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, July 14, 2023 | | |
| | | | | UCF is the talk of the Big 12 Conference and the Sentinel's Matt Murschel is there in Dallas for 48 hours of Media Days, including the Knights holding court at Jerry World on Thursday ... The Magic are 0-4 in Las Vegas summer league, but how much does it really matter? The Blazers won last year's "championship." How did their season turn out? ... Orlando area Rising Star honors for two juniors. ... Messi Mania is here. ... Rory McIlroy really doesn't like the Saudi-backed LIV. | | | | UCF took part in its first Big 12 football media days Thursday, a culmination of four decades of hard work to get to a Power 5 conference. "It's fantastic," said AD Terry Mohajir. "We've been preparing for the last couple of years and now it's here. Now it's time to compete." | | | | | It's about development, trying to spot invitees for training camp, potential two-way players (Magic have two spots open), free-agent steals or names to keep tabs on for the future, networking and camaraderie. | | | | | Rory McIlroy has long been one of the most vocal critics of LIV Golf, the Saudi Arabia-backed tour that launched in 2021 to challenge the PGA Tour's supremacy in professional golf. | | | | | A hamburger and drink combination called the Lionel Messi. A huge sketch of the soccer star's smiling face on a restaurant wall beside a meme that went viral during the 2022 World Cup. A beer with a pink label matching the color of the Inter Miami jersey he will wear. Wherever you turn in Miami these days something reminds you of the arrival of the Argentine soccer legend. | | | | | Despite their limp to the All-Star break, losing seven straight and looking bad in doing so before Sunday's revival, the Tampa Bay Rays are still in a good place. | | | | | This offseason, prospect Gage Goncalves, who will be entering his third season at Syracuse, saw the holes the Lightning had to fill at forward. He saw, too, how general manager Julien BriseBois quickly filled them with veteran players on the first day of free agency. | | | | | The PGA Tour deal with Saudi Arabia's wealth fund is dropping a clause in their agreement over poaching. That's after the Justice Department raised antitrust concerns. | | | | | Lake Mary junior Caden Harshbarger led his school's football team in receptions with 44 and then led the Rams lacrosse squad to a perfect 24-0 FHSAA state championship season as the state player of the year. He is the Orlando area Rising Star for the 2002-03 school year. | | | | | Five-star Chaminade-Madonna wide receiver Joshisa Trader committed to the Hurricanes on Thursday night. | | | | | Dr. Phillips basketball guard Trinity Turner led the Panthers to a repeat FHSAA Class 7A state championship and earned a state player of the year honor. The junior standout is the Orlando area Girls Rising Star, an honor recognizing elite underclass athletes. | | | | | Ons Jabeur has defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-3 to reach the Wimbledon final for the second consecutive year. This will be the third title match for Jabeur in the past five Grand Slam tournaments. | | | | | The COO wouldn't quantify exactly how many jerseys were sold in the first 24 hours, but he indicated the reaction locally and nationally has been "overwhelmingly positive." All of which stands in stunning contrast to a generation ago, when they bore all the popularity of Ray Perkins. | | | |
