Magic rookie Tristan da Silva aims to fit in at summer league • U.S. Soccer fires coach Gregg Berhalter after Copa América collapse
Sentinel Sports Final Thursday, July 11, 2024 | | |
| | | | | UCF is talking the talk and looking the part at Big 12 Media Days in Las Vegas. Now comes the hard part ... actually proving it. ... The least surprising news of the day is U.S. Soccer firing men's coach Gregg Berhalter. Being a coach in 2024 at any level is about as thankless schoolteacher. Except at the pro level, the checks make the disrespect a lot easier to swallow. ... NBA returning to NBC (cue the John Tesh intro) = good. TNT being cut out of the new rights deal = bad. The biggest winners? The players. $76 BILLION reasons will be evident with future salary-cap projections. ... Adios, Wander Franco. | | | | It was a much different vibe than last year when UCF made its conference debut at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. No longer the newcomers, the Knights arrived with an air of confidence. | | | | | A more polished prospect at 23, da Silva carries himself with confidence and maturity, according to second-year teammate Jett Howard. | | | | | With the 2026 World Cup less than two years away, U.S. Soccer is starting over after firing coach Gregg Berhalter on Wednesday. "I want to thank Gregg for his hard work and dedication to U.S. Soccer and our Men's National Team," U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement announcing the move. | | | | | Winter Park's Scott Hutchinson adapted to position changes in a football career that took him to UF All-SEC status and into the NFL. University of Florida track and field coach Mike Holloway, who led his program to its third consecutive NCAA men's championship in June, also was selected. | | | | | Once famous as WWE's Tyler Reks, Gabbi Tuft wrestled last month in California, her first match since coming out as a transgender woman. | | | | | New York rolled to a major league-best 50-22 record through June 14, but has gone 6-16 since then to fall out of first place in the AL East. Despite the rough stretch, the Yankees enter the series finale Thursday at Tropicana Field just two games behind first-place Baltimore. | | | | | It's crunch time in the NBA's negotiations for a new media rights deal that could have a significant effect on the TV business. The NBA has finalized the contracts for a new 11-year deal that will return its games to broadcast network NBC and bring the league to Amazon's Prime Video streaming platform. | | | | | The uniform was the first thing to go. That was later followed by trust, and the benefit of the doubt. And now, 11 months later, they are coming for Wander Franco's future. And possibly his freedom. The can't-miss kid who arrived in Tampa Bay at age 20, hit .368 in his first postseason and was an All-Star by 22 is now in danger of being an ex-ballplayer at 23. | | | | | Novak Djokovic's smooth trip through the Wimbledon bracket got even easier on Wednesday, when he moved into his record-tying 13th semifinal at the tournament via a walkover because his quarterfinal opponent, Alex de Minaur, pulled out with a hip injury. | | | |
