Former Giants QB Sounds Off on Jaxson Dart Narrative
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Only time will tell if the New York Giants selected their true franchise quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft with Jaxson Dart. Heading into the 2025 NFL season, it seems the Giants might keep the young rookie on ice, as two veterans ahead of him on the depth chart have more than enough experience to warrant playing over him right away. Russell Wilson joined the Giants after spending a season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then there's Jameis Winston, who just wrapped up a 12-game stretch with the Cleveland Browns last year. The presence of the two quarterbacks can be positive for Dart, if the Giants view Wilson and Winston as two valuable veteran leaders for their 22-year-old passer. However, a quarterback competition won't allow for Dart to get immediate reps as a rookie. In fact, he could be in line for a redshirt year, despite being the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Former Giants quarterback Phil Simms believes that would be a mistake. Sit out the whole season? "That is the most overused stupid thing that I see people say on TV," Simms said on the 'Up & Adams Show' this week. "The ideal situation to me .. they get off to a decent start, we see the whole team is better than it was last year. The defensive line. I think the last two drafts have been very good. All that. We're respectable. But then there comes a point six, seven, eight weeks into the season unless you see that there's an opportunity to really be great we've got to find a spot to put Jaxson Dart in there, give him some experience, let him have some success and some failures because that's how you grow in the NFL as a quarterback." There's only so much a young quarterback can do with his eyes and ears from an NFL sideline. Mental reps and snaps are two totally different worlds. Take it from a two-time champion and multi-time pro bowler. Since the Giants aren't viewed as a potential Super Bowl contender in 2025, they aren't likely to be one veteran quarterback away from breaking into that contention. As a team, they'll see growing pains. Why not allow for Dart to experience some of his own as the season plays out? Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants during rookie minicamp at NY Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center on May 09, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants during rookie minicamp at NY Giants Quest Diagnostics Training Center on May 09, 2025 in East Rutherford, New last time the Giants drafted high on a quarterback was when they took Daniel Jones out of Duke. There was no redshirt for Jones at the time, who went under center for 13 games in 2019. It was a tough stretch, as the Giants went 3-9. However, they felt good about Jones, who threw for over 3,000 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Long-term, it didn't work out, which places the Giants in a situation to hope that Dart is the answer. Opinions about what the Giants should do with the rookie will be all over the place. In Simms' eyes, it's a no-brainer. Let the kid play next season.

Phil Mickelson knows 'high likelihood' Oakmont will be final U.S. Open appearance
GAINESVILLE, Va. — After he shocked the golf world four years ago by winning the PGA Championship at age 50, Phil Mickelson had a moment of honest self-assessment. 'It's very possible that this is the last tournament I ever win. Like if I'm being realistic,' Mickelson said on that triumphant Sunday at Kiawah Island. Mickelson hasn't won since, and while he wasn't eager to reflect Wednesday on a career that includes six major titles and just as many famous near-misses, he indicated his competitive future is limited. He said he wants to help his teammates on LIV's HyFlyers squad and would step away if he's no longer doing that. 'I'm also going to be 55 in a couple weeks, so I want to be realistic there, too. I want this team to succeed. I don't want to hold it back,' Mickelson said. 'If I'm holding it back, then it's time for me to move on and get somebody else in here.' Mickelson also acknowledged the possibility that Oakmont will be his last U.S. Open. He has a record six runner-up finishes at the national championship, the only major he hasn't won. 'There's a high likelihood that it will be,' Mickelson said, 'but I haven't really thought about it too much.' The USGA gave Mickelson a special exemption to the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, which he ultimately didn't need because he won at Kiawah a month earlier. Nonetheless, the U.S. Open historically does not grant more than one special exemption to any player, and Mickelson has missed the past three U.S. Open cuts. He remains exempt for the other three majors as a past champion.

Crystal Palace's European ban explained: Why the Eagles could be kicked out completely... and allow Brighton to profit
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Eberechi Eze celebrates victory over Manchester City with his Crystal Palace team-mates at the end of the FA Cup final in May 2025. | Credit: Getty Images Crystal Palace have qualified for the Europa League – but might not actually get to play in the competition. Advertisement The Eagles won a first major trophy in their 119-year history last month, with Ebere Eze's sole strike clinching the FA Cup for Oliver Glasner's side against Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. But having qualified for Europe on the back of that cup success, their participation in the Europa League is at threat, thanks to their owners' stake in another club in that competition. Why are Crystal Palace at threat of being kicked out of Europe? John Textor owns Palace and Lyon | Credit: JEFF PACHOUD/AFP via Getty Images Crystal Palace's majority owner John Textor – who controls 45 per cent of the South London outfit – is the president and owner of Lyon, who like Palace, have qualified for the Europa League next season. Advertisement Under UEFA's so-called Multi-Club Ownership (MCO) rule, 'no individual or legal entity may have 'control or decisive influence' over more than one club' competing in European competition, in order to limit multi-club ownership in Europe's top leagues. What are Palace planning to do about this? Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Eagles The South London outfit must now show UEFA's club financial control body (CFCB) that they do not fall foul of the rules around multi-club ownership. Despite Textor's majority stake in Palace, the American businessman does not have a defining voice in the boardroom, with his group Eagle Football only having a 25 per cent share of voting rights alongside fellow principal owners Josh Harris, David Blitzer and chairman Steve Parish, who all own 10 per cent of the club each. Advertisement This has actually been a source of contention for Textor in the past, with the 59-year-old announcing his intention to buy Everton last year, to avoid the politics of the Selhurst Park backroom. Given that Lyon finished sixth in Ligue 1, the French giants are given precedence to appear in the competition ahead of Palace, who finished 12th in the Premier League. Wouldn't Palace simply qualify for the Conference League if they lose their case? You'd think so… but there's an added spanner in the works: David Blitzer owns a majority stake in Brondby, with his Global Football Holdings company. The Danish side qualified for the Conference League next term via a third-placed finish in the league – again, higher than Palace's 12th – and if Palace's case for playing in the Europa is that Blitzer and Co. have more of a say than Textor when it comes to the running of the Eagles, it doesn't bode well for participation in the Conference League. How can Palace keep their place in the Europa League? Oliver Glasner is hoping to manage in Europe next season | Credit: Alamy While Palace hope that Textor's current involvement is enough to satisfy UEFA, official steps can be taken, should they fail to convince the CFCB that no rules have been breached. Advertisement Recently, Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis made similar moves to ensure no conflict of interest between the Tricky Trees and his Greek club, Olympiacos, by officially ceasing to be a 'person with significant control' in the limited company that owned the club. By putting his shares in Forest into a blind trust, the Greek businessman remained co-owner at the City Ground while no longer having a say in the running of the club. Could Brighton profit from all of this? Brighton could sneak into Europe on the back of Palace's misfortune | Credit: Alamy Potentially: as the next best-placed team in the Premier League, Brighton and Hove Albion are on standby to pick up a European spot in the event that their bitter rivals are denied theirs. Advertisement The Seagulls would qualify for the Conference League, should Palace get kicked out of Europe, with Forest getting a promotion to the Europa League instead, as a higher-placed team in the table. Is it likely that Palace will be kicked out? UEFA will decide Palace's fate this month | Credit: PA Images We simply don't know, and neither do UEFA right now, dropping a vague comment that 'We do not comment on individual club cases until an official decision has been made.' We will find out sometime this month but given that the CFCB cleared both Manchester clubs last summer, FourFourTwo expects this one to be fairly straightforward on paper for Palace.
