## Cowboys Contract Drama Reaches New Heights as Jerry Jones Sparks Firestorm

**Micah Parsons Trade Demand Ignites Backlash Against Dallas Ownership**

The ongoing contract saga surrounding star linebacker Micah Parsons has escalated into a three-ring circus, with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones at the center of the storm.  Parsons, who publicly requested a trade due to stalled negotiations, alleges that the organization refuses to meet with his agent, David Mulegheta. 

On Saturday, during training camp in Oxnard, California, Jones addressed reporters, revealing his unorthodox approach to contract negotiations: he doesn't directly interact with player agents. Instead, son Stephen Jones and Adam Prasifka handle those dealings. 

When questioned about his decision to bypass agents, Jones cited his past experiences negotiating with then-wide receiver Dez Bryant and his representatives from Roc Nation Sports, including Jay-Z. This seemingly innocuous statement sparked a swift and fiery response.


**Dez Bryant Denounces Jerry Jones' Remarks**

Bryant took to social media, condemning Jones for dragging his name into the controversy: 

>"I DON'T THINK ITS SMART TO MENTION MY NAME... I KEPT QUIET ABOUT A LOT OF UNFAIR SHIT.. ON SOME G SHIT… WE CAN HAVE STORY TIME IF THATS WHAT WE ARE DOING" - Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) August 2, 2025


While Bryant generally maintains a positive relationship with Jones, he made it clear that he won't allow his past dealings to be used as leverage in another player's contract dispute.

**Roc Nation Fires Back at Jerry Jones**


Following Bryant’s public rebuke, Roc Nation Sports released an official statement refuting Jones' claims about their negotiating tactics:

As the drama continues to unfold in Dallas, one thing is certain: this saga has far exceeded the typical contract negotiations and now involves a tangled web of personal relationships and agency reputation.

## Dolphins Fullback Ingold Briefly Scares Team After Training Camp Injury

**Miami -** A scare shook the Miami Dolphins practice field Sunday as fullback Alec Ingold left many teammates and observers concerned after going down during a drill. 

Ingold was motionless on the field following the play, prompting immediate action from his colleagues and coaches. The situation sparked worry as several players dropped to their knees in prayer while medical trainers rushed to Ingold's side.  

Despite initial fears, Ingold eventually got back to his feet and walked off the field under his own power. However, a team spokesperson later confirmed that the 29-year-old has entered the NFL's concussion protocol as a precaution. 


### A Vital Piece on Offense

Ingold's impact extends far beyond his statistics, which include 25 rushing yards, 320 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in three seasons with Miami.  He's been an essential part of the Dolphins' offensive line, providing crucial blocking support in both running and passing plays for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. With no other fullbacks on the roster, Ingold's absence would be a significant blow to the team.

Ingold signed with the Dolphins as a free agent in 2022 after spending several seasons with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders. He earned a Pro Bowl nod following his first season in Miami and subsequently signed an extension with the team in 2023.

## Japanese Star Miyu Yamashita Crowns Historic LPGA Season with AIG Women's British Open Victory

**Rookie Claims Title in Dramatic Fashion, Cementing Japan's Golden Era on the Green**

Miyu Yamashita, a rising star from Japan, etched her name into golfing history by capturing the 2025 AIG Women’s British Open. The victory marked not only her first major championship but also solidified Japan's dominance in women's golf this season.  


Yamashita, who turned 24 just yesterday, delivered a commanding performance at Royal Porthcawl, closing with a 2-under 70 to finish at 11 under par. This two-stroke lead over English sensation Charley Hull and compatriot Minami Katsu cemented her position as the LPGA's 21st different winner in a season already marked by remarkable diversity.

“To win such an historic tournament in front of all these amazing fans is such an incredible feeling,” Yamashita said, through an interpreter.


This triumph further highlights Japan’s golden era in women's golf.  Yamashita joins fellow Japanese golfers Mao Saigo (Chevron Championship) and four other Japanese winners this season, showcasing the nation's prowess on the global stage.

The victory wasn't without its challenges. Yamashita faced a difficult Saturday round, struggling with her putting and battling to maintain her lead. However, she rebounded in style on Sunday, showcasing her signature composure and scrambling skills to secure a well-deserved victory.


Her triumph comes amidst a season of unprecedented change in women's golf, contrasting sharply with 2024 when Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko dominated the tour.  Yamashita’s victory marks a new era, emphasizing diversity and exciting young talent.

While Yamashita celebrated her historic win, fellow English golfer Lottie Woad delivered another impressive performance, finishing tied for eighth in her second professional start. Her captivating debut at Porthcawl saw her become an instant fan favorite.


“Just walking out from the first tee, I got a loud cheer,” said Woad. “And I could tell everyone was rooting for me. That was nice.” 

The AIG Women's British Open concluded with record-breaking crowds and a captivating final round.  Paula Martin Sampedro, a rising star from Stanford University, stole the show with an incredible back-nine 30, showcasing her exceptional talent.


As the sun set on Porthcawl, it illuminated a new chapter in women’s golf - one defined by Japanese brilliance and global excitement.

##  Texans Tight End Room Heating Up: Stover Shines in Training Camp

**Veteran Schultz Impressed by Second-Year Player's Transformation**

The Houston Texans tight end room is buzzing with excitement as training camp progresses. Veteran Dalton Schultz, entering his third season with the team, acknowledges a change in the dynamic, praising the remarkable growth of Cade Stover. 

“He’s grown a lot. Strength, speed, size, knowledge of the game, he looks way more comfortable," Schultz said Saturday. "It’s fun having him in the room because he’s a farm boy, backcountry loves to get down and dirty. But, at the same time, you can see that he’s really smart and he’s got knowledge for the game. Especially being on the defensive side of the ball for so long, he’s got that knowledge of the other side too.”

**Stover's Rise in Second Season**

Selected in the fourth round last year, Stover transitioned from linebacker to tight end at Ohio State, finding success alongside quarterback C.J. Stroud.  This offseason, his development has been remarkable. 

"He doesn’t talk about it a ton, but I think he’s smarter than he gives himself credit for," Schultz added. "That makes it really fun, being a guy going into year eight, I can have some conversations with him that some young guys in his position, I wouldn’t be able to.”

The second-year tight end has become a versatile weapon for the Texans. He's showcased his abilities as both a blocker and pass catcher, even earning reps alongside Schultz in 11-personnel sets.  

 **GM Caserio Highlights Stover's Progress**

Texans general manager Nick Caserio echoed these sentiments earlier this month, stating that Stover was the most improved player from the offseason.   Stover's performance has sparked excitement among fans and analysts alike:


"One player #Texans fans would LOVE to see break out this year is tight end Cade Stover, who looks healthy entering Year 2," tweeted Cole Thompson (@MrColeThompson) in May. 

While Schultz faces the challenge of proving himself worthy of a new contract in 2026, Stover's rapid ascent has made the Texans tight end room one to watch as the season approaches.

## Is "Constantly Evolving" Enough for the Steelers Offense?

**Player Praises Scheme, But Last Season Results Tell a Different Story**


Last season, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense struggled despite significant roster and coaching changes. The hope was that new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith could breathe life into the unit, with front office support to put players in place for success. 

However,  the results were far from inspiring. The team ranked 16th in scoring and 23rd in total yards. Passing numbers were equally concerning, with a ranking of 27th in passing yards and 20th in passing touchdowns. Rushing efficiency wasn't much better, landing at 25th in the league for yards per carry.  At times, the offense appeared stagnant and predictable, seemingly unable to effectively utilize the middle of the field.

Wide receiver Scotty Miller offers a contrasting view. Following a recent training camp practice, he stated that Smith's offense is "constantly evolving" and praised his willingness to adapt to players. 


 This statement stands in stark contrast to last season's performance. 

 **Can the Steelers Offense Turn Things Around?**

The AFC North is fiercely competitive, and the Steelers' offensive struggles from last season simply won't cut it. Miller's optimism may be warranted, but only time will tell if the offense can truly evolve into a formidable force. For now, fans will likely remain skeptical until tangible improvement is seen on the field.

## Raiders Make Roster Shakeup After Mock Game Insights

**Seattle, WA -** Head coach Pete Carroll declared the Raiders' mock game a valuable learning experience, shedding light on potential roster decisions. The team acted quickly following the scrimmage, releasing undrafted rookie tight end Pat Conroy and wide receiver Kyle Phillips.  In their place, Seattle signed wide receiver Kawaan Baker and tight end Albert Okwuegbunam.

Baker, a former seventh-round pick by the New Orleans Saints, brings prior NFL experience to the table. He was drafted in 2021 and appeared in two games as a rookie, solely contributing on special teams. However, his career was subsequently interrupted due to a six-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy. Since then, Baker has bounced between various team rosters and practice squads but hasn't played in an official game.

Okwuegbunam, a fourth-round selection by the Denver Broncos in the 2020 NFL Draft, enters his fifth season in the league. After three seasons with the Broncos, he spent last year appearing in four games for the Philadelphia Eagles.  


The Raiders' moves demonstrate a clear strategy as they fine-tune their roster ahead of the upcoming season.

## Penn State's Knowles Unleashes Praise for 'Game-Changing' Defender Zane Durant

**Defensive coordinator energized by lineman's impact in offseason practices.**

Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is buzzing with excitement about the upcoming season, particularly after witnessing the standout performance of senior defensive lineman Zane Durant during spring and summer practices. 

Knowles believes Durant possesses a unique talent that will reshape the Nittany Lions' defensive strategy. "[It] changes the way you can play defense," Knowles stated, according to Frank Bodani of the York Daily Record. "And Zane's that guy."  

Durant is entering his senior season after deciding to return for another year in Happy Valley. Last season, he earned honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition from both coaches and media after starting all 16 games played by Penn State. He recorded 42 tackles (22 solo), with 11 tackles for loss and three sacks. Durant's impressive performance has already earned him preseason recognition on the watch lists for prestigious awards like the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (best defensive player) and the Outland Trophy (best interior lineman).

Durant leads a formidable defensive line that also includes returning starters Dani Dennis-Sutton and Zuriah Fisher on the edges, and Alonzo Ford Jr. as a top option inside Knowles' 4-2-5 defense.

## Dame Time Returns to Ogden: Damian Lillard Takes Helm as Weber State GM

**NBA Star Leverages Experience to Build Wildcats Program**

Damian Lillard, nine-time NBA All-Star and Weber State alumnus, is returning to his alma mater in a new capacity. The Portland Trail Blazers guard announced during the Weber State Alumni Classic on August 2nd that he has agreed to serve as the general manager for the Wildcats' men's basketball program.

"Success doesn't come overnight, especially in today's ever-changing basketball landscape," Lillard stated. "College athletics is constantly evolving, and building a strong program requires time, trust, and commitment. I believe in what this program represents and the culture that continues to grow at Weber State... This opportunity allows me to be even more involved in shaping the future of Weber State basketball."

Lillard's role will involve working closely with the men's basketball staff and Weber State's athletic department. He joins a growing list of prominent NBA figures taking on general manager roles in college basketball, alongside Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young, and Shaquille O’Neal at Sacramento State.

"I feel like I can do a lot to help the program be successful, to help the players even individually continue to grow their careers past college," Lillard told the Standard-Examiner.

Lillard's legacy at Weber State is undeniable. He averaged 18.8 points and 3.5 assists per game over his four seasons (2009-2012), shooting a remarkable 44.6% from the field and 86.7% from beyond the arc. His standout senior season earned him All-America honors, making him the first Big Sky player to achieve that feat. He was then drafted No. 6 overall by the Trail Blazers in the 2012 NBA Draft.

"From his days as a Wildcat to his success as a professional, Damian Lillard has remained deeply connected to Weber State, leaving an enduring mark on our university," said Weber State's Director of Athletics Tim Crompton.  “This new role allows him to contribute his vision and experience in a more formal way, further elevating our program...Damian’s dedication to Weber State is stronger than ever, further cementing his lasting impact on our community.”


Lillard recently signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the Portland Trail Blazers after being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks. He is expected to miss the 2025-26 season as he recovers from a torn Achilles tendon injury sustained during the first round of the NBA Playoffs with the Bucks.
