Team USA beat Serbia for dominant victory in Abu Dhabi

July 19, 2024 No Comments

Stephen Curry leads with 24 points as Team USA beat Nikola Jokic and Serbia in a showcase game. Curry was somewhat quiet offensively during the U.S Olympic team’s first two exhibitions before the Paris Games. He became more assertive on Wednesday with his official Olympic debit less than two weeks away. Curry scored 24 points, Bam Adebayo contributed 17 and Team USA beat Serbia 105-79 to boost 3-0 in its five-game slate of exhibitions ahead of the Paris Olympics. Anthony Davis finished with seven points, six rebounds and six blocks, leading the U.S. defensive effort that stunted Serbia throughout the game. Anthony Edwards scored 16 points. LeBron James added 11. Team USA led by as much as 31 points in the last of a pair of warm up matches in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The American team now travels to London to play two more matches before heading to France for the Olympics. The first will be on Saturday against South Sudan, followed by a matchup with Germany on Monday at London’s O2 Arena. The U.S. first had an uneven start before using a 16-2 run in the second quarter to take a 56-42 advantage and led 59-45 at halftime. The Serbian basketball team was propped up by performances of some of its star players. Denver Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic scored 16 points and 11 rebounds for Serbia. Aleska Avramovic added 14 points. Serbia was appearing for its second match in two days, after losing to Australia on Tuesday where it rested captain Bogdab Bogdanovic. Wednesday’s game was a pivotal preview for the Serbians and Team U.S.A, which will both feature in Group C at the Olympics. They begin their battle for gold against each other on July 28th. After almost blowing a huge lead in its slim win over Australia on Monday, Team U.S.A was lucky enough to avoid that type of performance this time. They led by 25 after three quarters and rapidly increased that number to 30 in the final quarter.

Saints’ Derek Carr shares he considered signing with Jets in 2023: ‘It just wasn’t the right time for me’

July 19, 2024 No Comments

Derek Carr has been a player for the New Orleans Saints for over a year now, but he recently shared that he could have been a quarterback for a different team if he had acknowledged the other team’s pitch. Carr said he met and considered signing with the New York Jets during the 2023 NFL offseason. “I could’ve [signed with New York],” Carr said during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, via gulflive.com. “It just wasn’t the right time for me. There were still like four or five teams I had to hear from. “I remember sitting there with (Jets coach Robert Saleh) and he’s like, ‘Look, man, we’d love to have you. It’s up to you.’” Carr had already sat with the Saints before he visited Florham Park, New Jersey, to have a meeting with Saleh and Jets leadership, and he eventually chose Dennis Allen’s squad in New Orleans. The Jets went ahead to draft Aaron Rodgers through a trade more than a month later. If pumping the brakes on acquiring Carr was simply due diligence, the Saints’ quarterback made the right decision. But Jets fans may be left to wonder how the team’s 2023 season could have ended if they had signed Carr instead of Rodgers. Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon only four days into the season, sending New York back to a bad place under center. Meanwhile, Carr enters Year 2 of the four-year, $150 million contract he signed with New Orleans. After struggling through the 2023 season with an uninspired offensive attack, he will embark on his second campaign with new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak calling the shots. With Derek settling nicely into this role with the Saints, no one will ever know what his career would have been like if he had signed with New York. Jets fans are hoping they will not have to ponder it, especially with a new season approaching.

DC United’s Steven Birnbaum retires

July 17, 2024 No Comments

D.C. United captain and center back Steven Birnbaum has retired from playing professional soccer after 11 seasons with the team. He will be recognized officially and honored during D.C’s July 20 friendly against Celtic FC. D.C. chose Birnbaum at No.2 overall (first round) in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft presented by Adidas. He retired with 13g/6a in 254 regular-season appearances. “Steven was one of the first players I had a chance to build a relationship with after he joined us from the draft in 2014,” Jason Levien, D.C. United co-chairman and CEO, said in a release. “I could tell right away that there was something special about Steven. “It has been rewarding to watch him grow over the last 11 years as a player and person. He has been a pillar in our backline and more importantly, he has been an exceptional leader and human being in our community. “I want to congratulate Steven on a stellar playing career and thank him for his years of dedication to D.C. United on the field. I’m excited to keep Steven within the organization and look forward to watching him succeed in this next chapter in his life.” On the international stage, Birnbaum scored one goal in 11 US men’s national team appearances. He joined Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad for the Copa América Centenario and World Cup Qualifiers in 2016. “Steve is the prototype for the person and player who coaches want to lead their team,” head coach Troy Lesesne said in a release. “Although our time working together was brief, I benefited greatly from working with him and cherish all of our interactions. “His career with our club is one that I hope more players can model, as he was able to help bring the club success both on the field and in our community. His work ethic, competitive spirit, intelligence, and empathy for others made him a truly special leader in our club and I know those same characteristics will bring success in the next stage of his career. Thank you, Steve!” Birnbaum is the third-most featured player in D.C. United history with 275 all-competition appearances. He trails only Jaime Moreno (386) and Bill Hamid (297). Steven was also a finalist for the 2014 MLS Rookie of the Year award and named a 2016 MLS All-Star. “Steven is a true professional and is a captain who exemplifies the values of this city and club,” general manager and chief soccer officer Ally Mackay said in a release. “He has been a pivotal part of this organization since 2014 when the club drafted him out of college, and he has been an elite defender in MLS over the last 11 seasons. “We are truly going to miss a leader of his caliber in the locker room, but we are lucky to keep him within the organization in a different role. In my limited time with the club, I have gotten to know Steven well and I know he has the characteristics to continue making an impact on this club. Congratulations on an incredible career, Steven.”

Adam Beckman signs one-year deal with New Jersey Devils

July 17, 2024 1 Comment

The New Jersey Devils have signed forward Adam Beckman to a one-year, two-way deal, they announced on Monday. This contract will make Beckman $775,000 at the NHL level and $125,000 at the AHL level. Drafted by the Minnesota Wild in the third round of the 2019 NHL Draft, he divided this past year between Minnesota and Iowa. In 11 matches with Minnesota, he secured two assists. With Iowa, Adam scored 19 goals and 14 assists for 33 points in 51 regular season matches. Besides his nine-game pro stint with Iowa in 2020-21, Beckman went pro full-time in the 2021-22 campaign. Before this, he played with Spokane Chiefs (WHL) where he pulled 97 goals and 99 assists for 196 points in 153 career regular season matches. The Devils drafted Beckman in June in place of Graeme Clarke. He will likely begin the season with the Utica Comet. Although he has watched NHL matches every season since going pro, he might find it hard securing a full-time position with the Devils in 2024-25.

Shohei Ohtani stuns at All-Star red carpet with unique suit

July 17, 2024 1 Comment

Shohei Ohtani recently reinforced the saying “a dog is man’s best friend” when he chose to surprise baseball fans with a one-of-a-kind suit at the MLB All-Star tournament. At Tuesday’s All-Star Red Carpet Show presented by Frutitas, he brought that quote to life when he wore a suit with his dog, Decoy, designed on the inside. “I chose the color based on my dog, and here’s my dog in my suit,” Ohtani said through interpreter Will Ireton. Back in 2023, when Ohtani accepted his AL MVP Award on MLB Network, his dog, Decoy joined him. From that point, the relationship between the pitcher and his dog has attracted more attention, to the extent that the Los Angeles Dodgers are sharing an Ohtani-Decoy bobblehead on August 28th at the Dodger Stadium. Putting his dog in a suit goes to show that he is just like the average dog parent. In this specific manner, Shohei is very relatable with the admiration he has for Decoy.
