NYC gunman had grievances against NFL, football as shooting leaves several dead: report The gunman who stormed a high-rise building in the heart of New York City on Monday evening reportedly had a grievance with the NFL. Shane Tamura, who was identified as the man who killed multiple people including an NYPD officer in the rampage at 345 Park Ave in Midtown Manhattan, cited the NFL in a note left near his body on 33rd floor of the building after he died by suicide, the New York Post reported. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The 27-year-old Nevada resident blamed the sport of football for apparent issues with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a side effect from repeated hits to the head, the outlet reported, citing law enforcement sources. Fox News Digital reached out to the NYPD and the NFL for comment. Tamura was a high school football player at Granada Hills Charter in Granada Hills, California, which is about 25 miles northwest of Los Angeles. The NFL’s headquarters were located in the same building where Tamura had killed five people and left several others injured. The league’s officers are on the fifth floor. NYC Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Tamura had a history of mental health problems. Tisch said that Tamura traveled cross-country, with his vehicle last being seen in Columbia, New Jersey as recently as 4:24 p.m. ET. That wasn’t long before he unleashed a barrage of gunfire at the high-rise building. LIVE UPDATES: NYPD OFFICER KILLED, 4 OTHERS DEAD IN MIDTOWN BUILDING HOME TO BLACKSTONE, NFL NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a message, obtained by Fox News Digital, to all league employees announcing the traumatic event. One NFL employee was "seriously injured." "As has been widely reported, a gunman committed an unspeakable act of violence in our building at 345 Park Avenue. One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack," the message read. "He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family. "We believe that all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for, and the building has nearly been cleared." Goodell added to pay attention to all notices with emergency information, as the situation remained fluid. Fox News’ Scott Thompson contributed to this report.

NFL employee 'seriously injured' in deadly mass shooting at league's NYC headquarters An employee of the NFL was reportedly "seriously injured" in the mass shooting that occurred at 345 Park Avenue in midtown Manhattan, home to the headquarters for the league. The office building, which sits on 52nd Street and Park Avenue, was the site of a tragic mass shooting that left five dead, including one police officer, when a gunman unleashed fire inside before taking his own life. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a message, obtained by Fox News Digital, to all league employees announcing the traumatic event. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "As has been widely reported, a gunman committed an unspeakable act of violence in our building at 345 Park Avenue. One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack," the message read. "He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family. "We believe that all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for, and the building has nearly been cleared." Goodell added to pay attention to all notices with emergency information, as the situation remained fluid. NYC SHOOTING: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT SHANE TAMURA, GUNMAN WHO KILLED 4 INCLUDING NYPD COP IN MIDTOWN MANHATTAN An NYPD officer killed in the shooting has been identified as 36-year-old Didarul Islam, an immigrant from Bangladesh who left behind two sons and a pregnant wife, according to NYPD. He was one of the two uniformed officers at 345 Park Avenue when the shooting occurred, though he was off-duty on Monday working as security for Rudin Management Company inside the building. "We are deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and to Officer Islam, who gave his life to protect others," Goodell wrote. NYC Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch identified the shooter, who acted alone, as 27-year-old Shane Tamura, a Las Vegas resident with a history of mental health problems. Tisch said that Tamura traveled cross-country, with his vehicle last being seen in Columbia, New Jersey as recently as 4:24 p.m. That wasn’t long before he unleashed a barrage of gunfire at the high-rise building. Security video shows Tamura entering the lobby at 345 Park Avenue and immediately opening fire, shooting multiple people. He then shot a security guard behind a desk with an M4 assault rifle, Tisch said. Tamura waited for an elevator, where he allowed a woman to leave unharmed before taking it to the 33rd floor. He proceeded to shoot and kill another person before ultimately taking his own life, police said. Tamura was licensed to carry a concealed weapon in Nevada. The NYPD is clearing each floor of the building to make sure everyone was safe, and no other shooters were present. As part of his letter to employees, Goodell mentioned the league’s resources that are available to help employees deal with the tragic event. "As you know, there are significant resources available to all employees, including grief counselors," Goodell wrote. "Shortly, HR will send you more information on the available resources and how to take advantage of them. "Those based in New York should work remotely tomorrow. It is understandable if you prefer to take the day off. There will be increased security presence at 345 Park Avenue in the days and weeks to come. Every one of you is a valued member of the NFL family. We will get through this together." Fox News’ Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

Hall of Famer, beloved Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg dead at 65 after battle with cancer Hall of Famer and Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg has died after a long battle with cancer, MLB announced on Monday night. Sandberg was 65 years old. "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg," MLB wrote in a statement on social media. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ‘90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards." "With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today," the Cubs wrote in a statement on X with a picture of "Ryno." FORMER CUBS MANAGER LEE ELIA, FAMOUS FOR EPIC PROFANITY-LACED RANT AGAINST FANS, DEAD AT 87 Sandberg was named league MVP during the 1984 season, where he had a league-leading 8.5 WAR, while also leading the way in runs (114) and triples (19). He slashed .314/.367/.520 that year with 36 doubles, 19 homers and 84 RBI over 156 games. MLB’s tribute to Sandberg included his performance on June 23, 1984, which was forever dubbed "The Sandberg Game." "On June 23, 1984, a national TV audience watched Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in the 9th and 10th innings off Cardinals closer and future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter. Part of a magical Cubs Postseason run, the game is forever remembered in Chicago as "The Sandberg Game." He went on to win the 1984 NL MVP Award," MLB wrote. Sandberg debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies, the team that drafted him in the 20th round of the 1978 Amateur Draft out of North Central High School in Spokane, Wash., in 1981. While he was quickly moved to the Cubs the following season, Sandberg returned to manage the Phillies for parts of three seasons. But Sandberg’s legacy on the diamond came on the north side of the Windy City, where he hit .285/.344/.452 with 282 homers and 2,151 hits over 15 seasons with the Cubs. Other than his stellar defense, Sandberg won seven Silver Slugger awards and won a Home Run Derby. "On June 23, 2024, the 340th anniversary of his iconic moment, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Sandberg outside Wrigley Field," MLB’s statement continued. Sandberg was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Falcons players get into heated training camp fights Atlanta Falcons players nearly made it a full week without having a fight in training camp as they jockey for position in hopes of making the final 53-man roster before Week 1. As temperatures rise in the hot sun, so do the attitudes on the field. Tempers appeared to boil over on Sunday when several players from the offense and defense had a skirmish. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Falcons rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. got into it with offensive lineman Matthew Bergeron, whose helmet flew off, according to ESPN. Leonard Floyd and Kaleb McGary were also involved in a separate incident that included Pearce. Some punches were reportedly thrown in the heated battles. Atlanta selected Pearce with the No. 26 overall pick of the draft earlier this year. It’s clear he’s trying to make an impact off the bat. "We're trying to develop a culture, a style of play for sure, and part of that is the violence with which we play and aggression, the urgency and all that," Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said, via ESPN. "Today, at times, it went a little too far, and we've got to learn how to manage that. JERRY JONES FACES 'PAY MICAH' CHANTS FROM COWBOYS FANS AT TRAINING CAMP SESSION "You're going to get agitated and, especially when you're playing really good defense, the offense is going to get very agitated, so you've got to anticipate punches being thrown, things being said, people getting pushed. In those moments, you got to thrive and not retaliate and so it's a good lesson to be learned today." The passion and intensity from the players is something fans have been dying to see return since Atlanta was in the Super Bowl during the 2016 season. Since then, the Falcons have only made the playoffs once and have only been over .500 once. The Falcons were 8-9 last season as the year sputtered once Kirk Cousins got hurt. The team was sixth in yards gained, 13th in points scored and 23rd in yards and points allowed.

49ers defensive end Tarron Jackson hospitalized following scary training camp collision The San Francisco 49ers had a scary scene play out at training camp on Sunday after a collision led to a player being transported to the hospital. Head coach Kyle Shanahan announced that defensive end Tarron Jackson was hospitalized following a collision. He was conscious and had movement in his extremities, though he was transported to Stanford Hospital for evaluation. Beat reporters watching practice saw the scene play out, where Jackson hit the ground hard after being blocked and didn’t get up. Trainers went out to check on him, and after several minutes, he was placed on a backboard and taken off the field. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Jackson is a player looking to earn a spot on the 49ers’ roster entering training camp. He joined their practice squad on a one-year, $1.1 million deal. However, Jackson’s injury now leaves that chance of making the 53-man roster up in the air. JETS QUARTERBACK JUSTIN FIELDS RETURNS TO TRAINING CAMP AFTER INJURY SCARE Jackson would be playing in his fourth NFL season if he were to get on the field. He was a sixth-round pick by the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2021, playing 21 games for the franchise after a stellar career at Coastal Carolina. Jackson’s production was off the bench, as he collected 18 tackles and one sack over 17 games his rookie year. He saw just four appearances in 2022 before he was waived by the franchise midway through the season. He would go on to join the Eagles’ practice squad, remaining in place there through the 2023 season. Then, in 2024, the Carolina Panthers came calling and Jackson signed with them. He went on to play three games for Carolina last season, though he saw just 28 defensive snaps and 21 special teams plays. The 27-year-old signed with San Francisco in January with hopes of impressing yet another team enough to earn a spot come Week 1.

Ichiro Suzuki takes swipe at lone writer who kept him from unanimous Hall of Fame election Ichiro Suzuki was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday as the ceremony took place in Cooperstown, New York. On a day that was emotional for many, Suzuki brought humor to his speech. The former Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees and Miami Marlins outfielder received 393 out of a possible 394 votes to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Only Mariano Rivera was a unanimous first-ballot Hall of Famer. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Suzuki, in January, offered to meet with the lone writer for dinner to discuss the reasoning for being left off the ballot. The dinner didn’t appear to happen, and the legendary outfielder rescinded the invitation. "Three thousand hits or 262 hits in one season are two achievements recognized by the writers," he said. "Well, all but one. "By the way, the offer for the writer to have dinner at my home has now expired." He also joked that he had never heard of the Marlins when the team offered him a contract. "Honestly, when you guys offered me a contract in 2015, I had never heard of your team." RED SOX MANAGER ALEX CORA CLAIMS ESPN 'MADE S--- UP' ABOUT MLB TRADE RUMORS DURING HIS TIME AT NETWORK Suzuki joined the Hall of Fame in class with CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner. Dave Parker and Dick Allen were also elected via the Era Committee. Suzuki had 3,089 hits, 10 All-Star appearances and 10 Gold Gloves during his career. "Baseball is much more than just hitting, throwing and running. Baseball taught me to make valued decisions about what is important. It helped shape my view of life and the world. … The older I got, I realized the only way I could get to play the game I loved to the age of 45 at the highest level was to dedicate myself to it completely," he said. "When fans use their precious time to see you play, you have a responsibility to perform for them whether you are winning by 10 or losing by 10. "Baseball taught me what it means to be a professional and I believe that is the main reason I am here today. I could not have achieved the numbers without paying attention to the small details every single day consistently for all 19 seasons." He added that getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame was never really the goal but now that he has achieved it, he called the notion a "fantastic dream."

"Reached out to both my parents & my siblings cuz life is short and it’s important to spend time with the people you love. "Caught a SERIOUS case of ‘fck it’s’ & almost had a drink… It was disheartening realizing how the ‘fun’ has been stripped from social media.

Five unforgettable Hulk Hogan matches that defined wrestling history Hulk Hogan, the wrestling icon who made professional wrestling what it is today, died Thursday at the age of 71. Hogan became Vince McMahon's prized possession, as Hulkamania ran wild for decades in and out of the ring. Wrestling until the early 2000s, Hogan provided generations of fans with unforgettable moments. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM The story of Hogan, and wrestling in general, cannot be told without mentioning what is perhaps the greatest match in history. Hogan fought Andre the Giant for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship at the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan in 1987, and the match ended with a legendary scoop-slam by Hogan to Andre, who weighed 525 pounds at the time. Hogan then gave his signature leg-drop finisher, and pinned Andre. The entire event is still widely regarded as the pinnacle event of WWE, mainly because of this match. In 1990, Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior were both beloved by fans, but only one could be considered the top dog. So, in Toronto, the two babyfaces came together in the ring and put their respective belts on the line - Hogan with the WWF title, and The Ultimate Warrior with the Intercontinental Championship. The Ultimate Warrior prevailed, giving Hogan his first clean pinfall loss since 1981. TRUMP REMEMBERS 'GREAT FRIEND' HULK HOGAN AS 'MAGA ALL THE WAY' AFTER WRESTLING ICON'S TRAGIC DEATH The patriotic Hogan faced a bout with Sgt. Slaughter, whose character was dubbed an Iraqi sympathizer during the Gulf War. During the match, Slaughter attempted to pin Hogan while holding the Iraqi flag, but Hogan kicked out and ripped it. Hogan then used the everlasting leg-drop to win his third championship, and waved the American flag in the ring as a celebration. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, with a mystery partner, were in a tag-team match against Randy Savage, Sting and Lex Luger at the Daytona Beach WCW event. To everyone's surprise, Hulk Hogan came into the ring during the match, with many thinking he was there to support Savage, Sting and Luger. However, out of nowhere, Hogan hit Savage with not one, but two leg-drops, revealing himself as the third partner, turning heel for the first time, and officially forming the New World Order (nWo). He then hit one more leg-drop before Hall gave the three-count. Fans were so angry that they threw debris into the ring. Hogan made sporadic appearances in the WWF, and then WWE, in the early 2000s, but as the company pushed Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to be its next top star, The Rock came face-to-face with a legend. The decibels in Toronto's Rogers Centre reached that of Joe Carter's walk-off home run in 1993, as the two came face-to-face, and infamously turned both ways to address the crowd. Ultimately, The Rock came out on top, which is often a sign of respect to the older wrestlers in the business - but the two shared multiple embraces in the ring together and got the crowd going amid their sign of unity.

Hulk Hogan's former manager stunned by wrestling legend's death after positive phone call just one day before Jimmy Hart, Hulk Hogan’s longtime friend and former manager, was shocked by the news of the wrestling icon’s death this week, revealing that he had heard good news about Hogan’s health just a day before his passing. The WWE Hall of Famer recalled his final moments with Hogan in an interview with People on Friday. He said he had called Hogan on Wednesday, and spoke to his assistant, who had assured Hart that the former wrestler had been "doing great." "I called [Hogan] on Wednesday night, and then Thursday morning is when everything took place," Hart told the outlet. "So just…just overnight it all happened, but it was so positive the day before." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Hogan reportedly underwent neck surgery earlier this year – the latest in a long list of surgeries that include at least 25. Hart said that he hadn’t seen his friend out of concern for his recovery. "It just hits so fast," he said of Hogan’s death. "It was like, ‘Oh my God.’ We thought he was doing so well, you know? We didn't go to see him at the house and didn't go to see him at the hospital, because we wanted to make sure that he didn't get any infections or anything else, like if anybody had a cold or brought anything in. So, that's what we all did." Hart told People that he had last seen Hogan about a month before his passing, and that he had been in good spirits talking to fans. HULK HOGAN'S WIFE REVEALS SHOCK IN EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE AFTER WRESTLING ICON'S DEATH: 'I WASN’T READY FOR THIS' "Well, tell him I love him," Hart recalled of the final message he shared to Hogan’s assistant. Initial reports on Wednesday indicated that Hogan suffered a medical emergency at his home in Florida on Thursday morning. The Clearwater Police Department later confirmed that emergency personnel responded to a medical call just before 10 a.m. at Hogan’s residence. He was treated on site for a cardiac arrest before being transported to Morton Plant Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The news of Hogan’s death came weeks after he was alleged to be having a health crisis. However, his wife, Sky Daily, denied those reports at the time, saying he was "strong" and was recovering from surgeries. Like Hart, she posted a statement on Friday morning revealing her shock at his "sudden" passing. "I wasn’t ready for this… and my heart is in pieces," her message read. "He had been dealing with some health issues, but I truly believed we would overcome them. I had so much faith in his strength. I thought we still had more time."

Giants' Rafael Devers makes surprising admission on played defense after run as designated hitter with Red Sox Rafael Devers had a glove on Tuesday as he made his debut at first base during the San Francisco Giants' second game of a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves. Playing defense was largely a surprise, considering Devers was adamant about his desire to exclusively handle designated hitter duties when he was with his prior team, the Boston Red Sox. But, Devers' comments after the game were perhaps even more surprising. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Devers said he actually prefers playing defense over exclusively picking up a bat during MLB games. "It keeps me active. It keeps my head out of just thinking about the next at-bat," Devers said according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I’d rather be on the field than in the cage hitting all the time and thinking about the next at-bat." SURPRISED BY THE BREWERS? HOW A BUNCH OF 'AVERAGE JOES' ARE AMONG MLB'S BEST Rafael Devers had a tense spring training. During the exhibition period, Red Sox manager Alex Cora and Devers appeared to be at odds about whether he would spend time on the baseball diamond covering third base. Shortly before Opening Day, Cora confirmed Devers would handle the team's designated hitter duties on a full-time basis. However, when Boston's primary first baseman Triston Casas suffered a serious injury, it prompted another proposal from the Red Sox brass. Former Red Sox pitcher and the franchise's current chief baseball officer, Craig Breslow, brought up the idea of Devers covering first base in the future, the New York Post reported in May. However, the three-time MLB All-Star reportedly shut down the idea. During his public rebuttal of the potential position change, Devers cited the Red Sox' previous instructions related to him using his glove. "I know I’m a ballplayer, but at the same time, they can’t expect me to play every single position out there," Devers said via a translator, the Boston Globe reported in May. "In spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put away my glove, that I wasn't going to play any other position but DH." Devers had two base hits during his first base debut with San Francisco. The Giants ultimately celebrated a 9-0 victory over the Braves on Tuesday. The Giants also won Wednesday's game against Atlanta to win the three-game series. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Notable NFL stars who are off the field as training camp arrives NFL training camp has finally arrived, which means we are that much closer to football season. However, for at least a few players, the season may be delayed. It is hardly uncommon for players to sit out of training camp in the wake of contract negotiations, as players do not want to risk injury in practice before getting their bag. It's worked for some (Darrelle Revis), while others (Le'Veon Bell and Haason Reddick) lost their gamble. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Some situations are more complicated than others, but we compiled a list of several players off the practice field as they eye new contracts. Parsons is currently claiming that back tightness is the reason he is not practicing, but he did tell Fox News Digital earlier this year that he would likely hold out without a new deal — which he still does not have. His 52.5 career sacks are the sixth-most by any player in his first four seasons, and he finished second, second and third in the Defensive Player of the Year voting in each of his first three years. It is safe to say he deserves to break the bank. However, instead of signing a deal, he and owner Jerry Jones have taken shots at one another in the last couple of days. McLaurin signed a three-year extension reportedly worth over $68 million prior to the 2022 season that kicked off in 2023. Now, with one year remaining on that deal, and arguably the best season of his career, McLaurin is holding out for a new deal. It's a rather inopportune time for McLaurin to hold out, as the Washington Commanders want to avoid a sophomore slump with Jayden Daniels. However, McLaurin, who turns 30 on Sept. 15, just racked up a career-high 13 touchdowns to go along with his fifth-consecutive 1,000-yard season. DOLPHINS PLAYER AIRLIFTED TO HOSPITAL AFTER TRAINING CAMP INJURY SCARE The Cincinnati Bengals and their star defensive end have been at a standstill. Hendrickson skipped all the Bengals offseason activities leading up to the start of training camp. The 30-year-old earned First-team All-Pro honors after his NFL-leading 17.5 sacks last season. But he recently said the Bengals have been silent regarding a new deal, and Hendrickson has said he will not play under his current contract. This season marks the final year of Hendrickson's deal. Hendrickson turned 30 in December, has been with Cincinnati since 2021 and has been an absolute steal for them. He spent his first four seasons with the New Orleans Saints but failed to put up numbers until his final season there, recording a career-high at the time of 13.5 sacks after just 6.5 in his first three NFL seasons. Make that two edge rushers that the Bengals won't sign — this one being the 17th pick of this past April's draft. The Bengals are reportedly trying to change the way their first-round rookie contracts are done, which would allow the team to void future guarantees. The contract battle has resulted in a war of words between the two sides. Not exactly a great start to the career. Stewart did not participate in mandatory minicamp last month, either. Like Parsons, Anzalone is dealing with an injury, but he has been vocal about wanting a new deal, as well. "I want to retire a Lion. I want that opportunity. That’s how I feel. I’m disappointed. Let’s just say that," Anzalone said on Tuesday morning when asked about a potential new deal with his Detroit Lions, via MLive.com. Anzalone is currently entering the final year of an $18.3 million deal with Detroit, whom he has spent the last four seasons with.

Pirates' Oneil Cruz gets taken out of game for baserunning blunder, admits he lost track of outs Pittsburgh Pirates star Oneil Cruz has gone through a rough few games. Cruz’s error and lackadaisical effort following a passed ball in center field raised eyebrows last week, and then, on Tuesday, he was removed from the game after he lost track of outs. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Pirates manager Don Kelly took Cruz out after he failed to run out a double-play grounder against the Milwaukee Brewers. He grounded into a 6-4-3 double play. Kelly said Cruz was removed because of "energy and effort going down the line." Cruz told reporters through an interpreter he understood the decision. "DK had all the rights to do what he did, and I’ll back him up on that," Cruz said. "It was my fault because I thought there were two outs in that situation. That’s why I let off running to first base." Kelly said he and Cruz spoke afterward, and he communicated his expectations. Cruz suffered an outfield blunder against the Texas Rangers. He misjudged a ball and watched it roll to the fence in the first inning of that game. FORMER ALL-STAR RHP NOAH SYNDERGAARD SIGNS MINOR-LEAGUE DEAL WITH WHITE SOX On top of everything else, Cruz is not hitting like the slugger he has been promised to be. He has batted .156 with 31 strikeouts this month. Overall, he is hitting .211 with an OPS of .736 and 13 home runs. He is leading the National League with 26 stolen bases but leads MLB with 101 strikeouts. "He’s struggling at the plate right now," Kelly said. "It’s difficult when you’re going through that and trying to figure it out. He’s working hard to do that. That’s one thing we’ve got to be mindful of, is not letting that offense carry over to defense and base running, and the energy and effort that we’re giving on any other aspects of the game as well." Cruz maintained that his issue on the basepaths had nothing to do with his slump at the plate. "They’re a really good example," Cruz said. "They always run hard. They always go out there to do their 100%. That’s a teaching point for me. I accepted the way DK came to me and explained it and presented it to me." Pittsburgh fell to 32-48 this season after losing 9-3 to the Brewers. The Pirates are 20-22 since Kelly took over for Derek Shelton as manager. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson drama revealed in new emails Emails obtained by WRAL show Bill Belichick addressing the controversy over his romantic and professional relationship with Jordon Hudson. The relationship between the legendary coach and the 24-year-old model has drawn national scrutiny after a controversial "CBS Sunday Morning" interview. Hudson declared, "We're not talking about that" when Belichick was asked about how the couple met. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM Belichick claimed in one email that CBS "secretly" had a camera focused on Hudson despite the model requesting to sit off camera. "Secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where Lead producer Gabe instructed her to sit," Belichick reportedly wrote. Belichick elaborated on why the question of how they met was not answered. PATRIOTS' CHRISTIAN BARMORE SET TO RETURN TO FIELD AFTER SUFFERING FROM BLOOD CLOTS "I met Jordon randomly on a flight to Palm Beach in 2021. That is no secret. Jordon was not dodging the specific question regarding how we met, but rather was preventing the interview from continuing to probe into personal matters," the email said. Belichick also addressed why Hudson was present at the interview to begin with. He believed the interview would be focused on his book, "The Art of Winning: Lessons from a Life in Football." "Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there," Belichick wrote, referring to the publisher of his book. "I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book." In another email, Belichick addressed reports that he requested to have Hudson copied on every email sent to him. "Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship," Belchick wrote in the email. "This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it." Belichick released a statement saying he was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she was doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips." CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichick’s version of events. In a separate interview with ESPN, Belichick insisted Hudson is not involved with UNC football.

Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov takes Stanley Cup on 5 am neighborhood tour, GM reveals The Florida Panthers won back-to-back Stanley Cups after winning Game 6 over the Edmonton Oilers, 5-1, on Tuesday night. As one would expect, a party ensued at Amerant Bank Arena, and it lasted all night long for players and fans alike. However, what captain Aleksander Barkov did in the early hours of Wednesday morning is one of the funniest Stanley Cup stories of all time. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM A Ring camera in Barkov’s development caught him going house to house, showing his neighbors the Stanley Cup. Yes, he brought it home with him. Panthers GM Bill Zito made an appearance on ESPN’s "The Pat McAfee Show," where he shared that Barkov was walking around his neighborhood at 5 a.m. with Lord Stanley’s Cup. SAM BENNETT WINS CONN SMYTHE TROPHY AS PANTHERS CLAIM 2ND STRAIGHT STANLEY CUP "Apparently, he went home at like five in the morning to change and clean up before they kept going," Zito told the show. "And walked around the his neighborhood and banged on everyone’s front door. ‘Hey, you want coffee with the Cup?’" The Stanley Cup has been virtually everywhere over the years, especially with every player and coach getting a day with it before the new season begins. So, while Barkov’s story is not the craziest situation the Cup has been in, it is still a fun one as he wanted to share the celebration with everyone he could, even his neighbors. Barkov, now a two-time Stanley Cup champion, had two assists in the Game 6 rout of the Oilers, including the perfect pass to Sam Reinhart on his second of four goals on the night. That goal gave Florida a commanding 3-0 lead in the second period. The Panthers have played to the point where the dynasty conversation has come up, and Barkov is one of many superstars on the roster that will return for the 2025-26 season. However, preparation for three titles in a row will surely come. For now, Barkov and the rest of his teammates are keeping the party going, and he clearly wants everyone involved.

Angel Reese mocked for turnover spree in same game where she makes WNBA history Angel Reese committed a game-leading nine turnovers in the Chicago Sky's blowout 91-68 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Tuesday night. The turnovers occurred the same night that Reese became the first player in WNBA history to record multiple streaks of 10 games with a double-double. With 11 points, 11 rebounds and nine turnovers, some users joked that Reese was on a "triple-double watch," late in the game. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM One of the turnovers occurred in the first quarter when Reese tried to simply hand the ball off to a teammate that was right next to her. Instead, Reese softly bounced the ball off her own teammate. The ball was quickly recovered by the Lynx and taken the other way. "Angel Reese doing Angel Reese things. She plays the game so Lazy. As a long time former Coach, it makes my skin crawl when players do that," one user wrote. Another user wrote, "It's like watching little kids try to do things they saw on TV." One of Reese's other turnovers came in the third quarter when she took too many steps without dribbling the ball, as she appeared to get her feet tangled up, and she was called for traveling. "Boy she traveled into the next city!" one user wrote. Another user wrote, "She got her own travel agent with all that traveling." The Sky ended up losing by 23 points and falling to 7-16, and they remain firmly in fifth place in the WNBA's Eastern Conference. CAITLIN CLARK NEEDS TO BE HELD BACK IN HEATED CONFRONTATION WITH WNBA REF Reese recently drew attention to herself at the WNBA All-Star game when she spoke out against the WNBA for its handling of recent negotiations with the player's union, the WNBPA, over a new collective bargaining agreement. Reese said the proposal the WNBA sent to the players was "disrespectful." "It was an eye-opener for me. Like, hearing the things and hearing the language of things and not things that I was happy to hear. It was disrespectful the things that we were sent back, the proposal that we were sent back," Reese told reporters at WNBA All-Star weekend on Friday. "It's important to be able to be vocal. If I sit back, it looks like I don't care." Last October, Reese admitted she couldn't afford to pay her bills based on her WNBA salary, in an Instagram live video, adding she paid $8,000 per month for rent. "I’m living beyond my means. Hating pays them bills, baby. I just hope you know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all," she said. "I don’t even think that pays one of my bills. Literally, I’m trying to think of my rent for where I stay at. Let me do the math real quick. I don’t even know my (WNBA) salary, $74,000?"

Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu hits career milestone in New York’s gritty win over Atlanta Sabrina Ionescu matched her season-high of 34 points to lead the New York Liberty to a double-digit comeback over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday night, rebounding from the team’s first loss of the season over the weekend. Despite Ionescu’s 20 first-half points, New York trailed by 17 points in the third quarter and were pacing to drop their second straight game after the Indiana Fever handed the reigning WNBA champions their first loss of the season on Saturday night. But momentum quickly shifted hands midway through the quarter. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "I think we didn't play well, we didn't have toughness, we didn't have urgency," Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said of the first half of the game. "I think we found our identity, we found some energy… We just need to play harder sometimes." New York had seven turnovers to Atlanta’s three in the first half, but that identity crisis quickly faded behind another 14 points from Ionescu and Breanna Stewart’s 11. New York picked up their 10th win of the season with an 86-81 victory. "We're really proud of the way that we fought. And, obviously, that game could have easily gone the other direction and us just kind of giving up and being frustrated, and I think you were able to see a team that stayed together, dug really deep and then kind of just figured it out on the fly," Ionescu said after the game. LIBERTY COACH EMBRACES WNBA VIEWERSHIP MILESTONE POWERED BY CAITLIN CLARK'S RETURN: 'I LOVE IT' "I'm really impressed with our ability to do that because we haven't been put in that situation this year – to go down that big and have to try and dig our way out of a hole, and I think all these experiences are just going to help us as we continue to play in games and the season goes on." Ionescu recorded a season-high of 34 points against the Fever on Saturday. She hit that mark again on Tuesday night to mark back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in her WNBA career. Atlanta rookie Te-Hina Paopao led the Dream with 16 points, Allisha Gray added 14, and Brionna Jones and Rhyne Howard both finished with 13. Atlanta entered the game tied with the Liberty and Fever in the Commissioner's Cup games, but Indiana’s gritty win over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night clinched their place in the championship game where they’ll face the Minnesota Lynx on July 1.

Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr rips Little League for suspending 12-year-old over bat flip celebration A Little League baseball player is getting major league support. Marco Rocco, a 12-year-old player for Haddonfield Little League in New Jersey, was suspended from a state tournament this week after he flipped his bat in celebration following a home run during a game on July 16. The suspension was overturned as the incident turned into a legal battle when his family sought an emergency temporary restraining order that would allow Marco to play in the state tournament beginning on Thursday. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEW.COM A judge agreed, allowing Marco to play. News of the controversial suspension reached MLB, and several players, including New York Yankees star Jazz Chisholm Jr., who was shocked by the disciplinary measures taken. "I thought that was ridiculous. You’re going to suspend a kid for having fun?" the All-Star said. "Crazy." Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Max Scherzer agreed, adding that celebrations from opposing players never seemed to bother him. 12-YEAR-OLD LITTLE LEAGUER ALLOWED BACK IN STATE TOURNEY AFTER JUDGE OVERTURNS BAT FLIP SUSPENSION "If it’s a game-changing homer, it’s fine. Even when I’m on the mound, it doesn’t irk me. It’s a human reaction, and it’s good for the game, just like a pitcher doing a fist pump after a big strikeout," the three-time Cy Young Award winner said. "I side-eye someone if they hit a solo shot and their team is down 5-0. That doesn’t jive with me. I don’t like it when opponents or teammates do that. I feel the same way about Little Leaguers." Little League released a statement after the judge’s decision, doubling down on its support of umpires. "While we continue to follow any orders governed by the court of law, Little League is extremely disappointed that time, energy, and attention were diverted away from our volunteers and communities who are creating positive experiences for all players and families throughout the International Tournament," the statement read. "Trusted by parents and communities around the world, Little League holds the integrity of the game, respect for game officials, and sportsmanship of teams as core tenants of our program. We expect all players, coaches, volunteers, and staff to uphold these values at all times." Marco competed against Elmora Little League in the first game of a four-team, double-elimination tournament on Thursday night. He went 0 for 2 as the team lost 10-0 in a game that was shortened because of the mercy rule. He’ll compete again on Saturday night. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
