Roger Goodell's potential NFL successor bolts for PGA Tour
One of the NFL's top executives is leaving to take over as CEO of the PGA Tour. Brian Rolapp, the league's chief media and business officer, is taking on the role at the PGA after being widely believed to be the clear favorite for the job days earlier, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo Thursday to all team executives and presidents alerting them of the news. Brian Rolapp, NFL executive vice president and chief media and business officer, speaks during a news conference at the NFL football annual meetings on March 31, 2025, in Palm Beach, Fla. AP 'After 22 remarkable seasons of dedicated leadership and significant contributions, Brian Rolapp will be leaving the NFL to pursue other opportunities,' Goodell wrote. 'We have spent some time planning for this change and are confident we will successfully manage the responsibilities while we align our structure to meet our long-term strategic goals. We will share more details soon.' Rolapp spent 22 years at the NFL and was considered by some as a potential successor to Goodell. But the hire shouldn't come as too big of a shock, considering that Rolapp had been on the PGA Tour's radar since 2024, and a memo from PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan in December indicated that the hire would come from outside the organization, Sports Business Journal reported. The outlet reported earlier this week that the search for a CEO was nearing its end and that Rolapp appeared to be the favorite. NASCAR commissioner Steve Phelps, TaylorMade Golf CEO David Abeles and former Ticketmaster chairman Jared Smith were also believed to be options for the position. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addresses the media at a press conference at the NFL football owners meeting, Wednesday, May 21, 2025, in Eagan, Minn. AP The CEO will report directly to the PGA Tour Policy Board and PGA Tour Enterprises — the for-profit arm of the Tour — would also fall under the new CEO's jurisdiction. The position is separate from the commissioner, which will remain helmed by Monahan. Rolapp has served as the chief media and business officer since 2017 and helped the NFL through its current media rights deal, which is worth $111 billion over 11 years. 'Brian began his journey with the NFL in 2003 as Director of Finance and Strategy at NFL Network. Since then, he built a distinguished career, culminating in his role as Executive Vice President, Chief Media & Business Officer,' Goodell wrote about Rolapp. 'Brian played an integral role in shaping the NFL's media strategy and business operations at a time of unprecedented change in the media environment. 'His accomplishments include negotiating several key media partnerships, overseeing NFL Media, NFL Films, 32 Equity, the Sponsorship and Consumer Products businesses and leading major initiatives that expanded the league's global media footprint and digital presence.'

Skubal throws 7 shutout innings, Meadows homers as Tigers beat Orioles 4-1
Tarik Skubal pitched seven shutout innings, Parker Meadows hit a three-run homer, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 4-1 Thursday night. Dillon Dingler also homered for the Tigers, who rebounded from a 10-1 defeat on Wednesday night to win the deciding matchup of the three-game series. Showing the form that enabled him to unanimously win the 2024 AL Cy Young Award, Skubal (7-2) allowed three hits and permitted just one runner past second base. The lefty struck out six, walked two and lowered his ERA to a sparkling 1.99. American League-leading Detroit scored all its runs in the fourth inning against Dean Kremer (5-7). Dingler hit a drive to center that cleared the wall and the glove of Colton Cowser, who was shaken up from colliding with the barrier. The next two batters singled before Meadows hit his first homer of the season, a drive deep into the right-field seats. Kremer was originally slated to start, but interim manager Tony Mansolino opted instead to use Keegan Akin as an opener. Kremer entered in the second and gave up four runs and five hits in seven innings. Baltimore's lone run came on an eighth-inning homer by Dylan Carlson off reliever Tommy Kahnle. Will Vest pitched the ninth for his 12th save. Key moment Meadows fell into an 0-2 hole, then hit a foul ball and took a pitch before launching a four-seam fastball into the right-field seats. With Skubal on the mound, the 4-0 lead was essentially insurmountable. Key stat In 12 starts since April 2, Skubal is 7-0 with 101 strikeouts and five walks. In addition, he's given up just one earned run in his last four outings. Up next Tigers: Following this unusually brief three-game road trip, the Tigers return home to face the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night. Orioles: Charlie Morton (2-7, 6.59 ERA) starts against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Friday night in the opener of a three-game set.
