Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, July 10, 2024 | | |
| | | | | Big 12 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas feels more like a celebration under the leadership of Brett Yormark than the typical media day.

Magic co-founder Pat Williams appears to be in bad shape physically, but the team isn't commenting on his actual condition yet. ... I'd forgotten about Fran Vazquez until Mike Bianchi talked about him in relation to recent Magic transactions. Imagine drafting a guy that high without being 100% certain he'd play for you in 2024? Even the Lakers wouldn't let Rob Pelinka get away with that. ... The Wander Franco situation appears to finally be coming to a head with MLB. July 14 is the date. | | | | The conference went from being a few steps away from collapse to being the third-best conference in college athletics the past 24 months. | | | | | Two decades later, the Magic front office had the foresight to keep Fran Vazquez's rights and turn it into an asset.

Jay Reisinger, Franco's U.S.-based lawyer, said he could not comment because Franco had not received formal notification of any charges. | | | | | Julián Álvarez put the Albiceleste ahead in the 22nd minute and Messi redirected Enzo Fernández's shot in the 2-0 victory Tuesday night. | | | | | Having lost their five-series winning streak and the momentum from it during a weekend sweep in Texas, baseball operations president Erik Neander made it clear that how the Rays respond over the next 2 1/2 weeks could determine the level — and direction — of activity at the July 30 trade deadline. | | | | | Hines-Allen announced the change Tuesday on social media and cited legacy, pride and maintaining family tradition and joy with the hyphenated name on the back of his No. 41 jersey. It'll also eliminate confusion with Bills QB Josh Allen. | | | | | Novak Djokovic is just one example of a superstar athlete who manages to find motivation wherever possible. Serena Williams, Michael Jordan and Tom Brady are others who come to mind. | | | | | Bernie Kosar, the cerebral quarterback who led the Miami Hurricanes to their first national championship and later backed up Dan Marino for three seasons with the Dolphins, disclosed his condition recently. | | | | | The Pistons have solidified Cade Cunningham as the foundational building block of the franchise's future, a league source confirmed Tuesday to The Detroit News.
