Happy Thursday, ladies and gentlemen. It feels like the sports world is rolling right along again. NFL teams are beginning to report for training camp, The Open Championship is underway, the FIFA Women’s World Cup kicked off bright and early on Thursday morning, and we have a full day of MLB action with afternoon baseball coming our way shortly after noon ET. There were some dark moments last night — like the MLS All-Stars being on the receiving end of a 5-0 shellacking from Arsenal — but the USWNT should right that wrong on Friday night when they kick off their World Cup campaign against Vietnam. While we gear up for a fun day, let’s take a look at some of the headlines from around the web that we may have missed.

A little Throwback Thursday to when Jordan Domineck stiff-armed his teammate into a block during a scoop-and-score. Domineck spent a year at Arkansas, where he finished top 3 in sacks among all SEC players, and will now be suiting up for Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes in 2023.
