Arizona Cardinals preseason: 5 players saw stock rise in win over Chiefs
The Arizona Cardinals picked up a 20-17 preseason win over the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday night at State Farm Stadium. They came back from being down 14-3. As the preseason goes, while the result doesn't matter as much as the performance of individual players. Every day is an evaluation and games show what players do under the bright lights. In the bright lights of Saturday's game, which players improved their stock? RB Emari Demercado Demercado will make the roster and will have a limited role playing on third down and special teams. However, he endears himself to coaches and fans when he makes plays like he did on Saturday, taking a short pass from Jacoby Brissett and turning it into a 43-yard touchdown. While it isn't going to earn him more playing time on offense with James Conner and Trey Benson ahead of him, what it does do is give the coaches confidence in his ability to step in should there be an injury. OLB Jordan Burch Burch was disruptive but got little credit for it. Twice he had sacks negated by penalties. He was in the backfield causing problems, and if that is something he can do in the regular season, the Cardinals have a foursome of outside linebackers to be reckoned with in him, Josh Sweat, Zaven Collins and Baron Browning. S Kitan Crawford Crawford, a seventh-round rookie known for his special teams play, picked off a pass in the end zone. Making plays on defense and not just special teams increases his value. Can he show more upside than Joey Blount? That is the question. After one game, he is proving his worth. CB Darren Hall Hall had an interception and almost picked off a second pass. He offers special teams play and is good in the slot. It is going to be tough to make the roster this year, but he certainly helped his case.

New Lakers guard Marcus Smart remembers his first game against Kobe Bryant
About a month ago, the Los Angeles Lakers started to make some improvements to their roster. They addressed their big void at the center position by signing Deandre Ayton, and they also added 23-year-old sharpshooting forward Jake LaRavia while re-signing center Jaxson Hayes. But they lacked defensive prowess and toughness, so later in July, they signed Marcus Smart after his contract was bought out by the Washington Wizards. Smart is just three years removed from winning the Defensive Player of the Year, and he has long been one of the NBA's best backcourt defenders. In a video that honored "NBA Defense Week," Smart talked about the first time he had to guard late Lakers great Kobe Bryant. "All I'm thinking is: My mom is watching me guarding Kobe," Smart said. "I hope somebody got a picture of this. In my mind, I'm like, 'Just live in this moment 'cause to be on the court with one of the all-time greats, is an honor, let alone to be guarding him.' "Now, to be a Laker with that mamba mentality, it just amplifies it." Smart's first matchup versus Bryant came during the 2015-16 season, which was his second in the NBA and Bryant's final campaign. In that game, he had the antidote to the venom of the "Black Mamba," as he held the Hall of Famer to 5-of-18 shooting from the field, although his Boston Celtics lost, 112-104. Even if Smart's defense will be diminished this coming season, he's still expected to make a significant impact on the Lakers with his ball-handling, playmaking, veteran leadership and overall resourcefulness. Somewhere, Bryant is surely smiling about the prospect of such a player joining the Purple and Gold.

Former Ute Martin Leon repeats as Salt Lake City Open champion, this time as a professional
After tying the competitive course record with a 10-under 62 on Saturday, there was still one major goal to accomplish for newly minted professional Martin Leon on Sunday in the final round of the Salt Lake City Open at Bonneville Golf Course. That goal was to beat the tournament record. Mission accomplished. Martin, a former University of Utah golfer from Chile, carded a 7-under 65 on Sunday to post a 17-under 127 and beat 2023 champion Mitchell Schow's tournament record by two shots. The 2023 Utah State Amateur champion repeated the title he won last year, when he posted a 9-under 135. Leon, 23, wins $4,500 for the effort, and gets to pocket all of it this time around. When he won last year, he was an amateur and so low pro Rhett Rasmussen got the first-place prize money, which was $4,000. 'I really like Bonneville, ever since I moved here five years ago,' Leon said. 'I would come and play here pretty much every weekend during the summer with some friends, and yeah, I think I just got used to the place.' Skyline High senior Austin Shelley placed second with an 8-under 136 (70-66) and was the low amateur, while Schow placed third at 7-under 137 (67-70). Professionals Spencer Wallace and Pete Stone and amateurs Tyler Ewell and John Fox tied for fourth at -6. After playing bogey-free on Saturday, Leon was not quite as sharp on Sunday — making three bogeys — but it hardly mattered. There was a moment Sunday when Fox got within a shot of Leon with a birdie on No. 12, but the amateur would bogey four of his last six holes to drop down the leaderboard. Leon bounced back from bogeys on 9 and 11 with an eagle on 12 and birdies on 13 and 14 to regain his big lead, and he cruised to the finish line. 'Lovely,' he said when he was told he broke the tournament record by two shots. 'I did not know that. I remember Mitch played pretty well two years ago. I played with him, so that's great to know.' Leon didn't make anything longer than 25 feet over the course of the 36 holes, but credited his putting for the victory. 'The putter was pretty hot this week,' he said. He thanked Bonneville head professional Lynsey Myers for putting most of the pins on the backs of the greens, 'because the greens were so firm you had no chance to stop it.' After he left the University of Utah, Leon played for Rutgers in 2023-24 and for the University of San Francisco in 2024-25. The Salt Lake City Open was his first tournament as a professional. He said he will play in the Larry H. Miller Utah Open at Riverside Country Club in Provo this week, then head out to European Tour Qualifying School the following week. If things go well there, he might sign up to play in the PGA Tour Qualifying School this fall. Leon said he would eventually like to call Utah his permanent home. 'The people here have been super welcoming, and the support system here is great. I really enjoy Utah overall. It kind of reminds me a little bit of home,' he said. '… I'm just one random kid from Chile, but since I went to the U. you guys have been awesome to me. 'I went to New Jersey, then went to California, and you don't really feel that same hospitality (at those places). I really like being here, and that's why, eventually, one day, I hope I can fully move back here.' Todd Tanner was the low senior professional, shooting a 3-under 141, and earned $2,600 for the win. Bountiful's Haley Sturgeon, who was second at last week's Utah Women's Open, was the low women's pro with a 4-over 148 and earned $750 for the effort.
