Micah Parsons Attends Camp
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons talks to owner Jerry Jones at minicamp.
Linebacker Micah Parsons has been a full participant at minicamp, even though he's still waiting for a new contract.
The All-Pro pass rusher stayed away from voluntary organized team activities earlier this month but was seen stretching and doing light workouts at the mandatory minicamp.
He is in the final year of his rookie contract.
He reportedly met with owner and general manager Jerry Jones for a casual conversation.
"We were talking about how my off-season's been, the training I've been putting in, and he told me I looked pretty good. So, I got excited about that. Asked me about the trip I went on. It was a pretty good conversation. And then obviously just stepping up and being a leader, and just how much he appreciates me being here. And that means a lot to me. No contract talk at all," he said.
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott calls out to teammates during practice at the Ford Center in Frisco.
Parsons said he will be reporting to training camp next month at Oxnard, California, as well.

"The more you know football, the slower the game becomes. Especially at this level, the game moves so fast. You have to make sure, obviously, you know what's going on as far as what the offense is doing. But you also have to have a good idea of what the defense is going to do. And that's something I'm still trying to learn and pick up on," he told reporters.

Jordan Spieth makes tough admission after first round at Oakmont
The post Jordan Spieth makes tough admission after first round at Oakmont appeared first on ClutchPoints. Jordan Spieth was brutally honest about the difficulty of this year's US Open course. This year's third major is being hosted at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, which is widely known as one of the hardest courses in the world. Several players have gotten off to slow or disappointing starts, with the current leader being JJ Spaun at -4. For Spieth, it was a middling start. Advertisement The three-time major champion is currently at even, recording five birdies and five bogeys on the afternoon. Spieth is squarely in the hunt right now and tied for eleventh overall. The 31-year-old, however, got brutally honest about this course as well as how it can change going forward. 'If you miss the fairway. It's essentially a stroke penalty. There's a few places where it's not the case, but on almost every hole it's a stroke penalty. I was close to shooting three under and finished at even. I mean, you know, I think I would have signed for it three more times to put me in a good spot, but we'll see how the course changes. A couple of fairways became impossible to hit today, and that won't change tomorrow. And then if we get a little rain, maybe we'll get a chance to score a little, but we'll see.' Spieth is in much better shape than many contenders heading into the US Open. The two major winners from this year, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, are currently at +4 and +3, respectively, while world No. 3 Xander Schauffele sits at +2. The headline name near the top of the leaderboard is five-time major champion Brooks Koepka. The 35-year-old has a history of success at the US Open, winning it two years in a row in 2017 and 2018. Koepka sits at -3, which is good enough for third overall. Overall, Spieth is trying to regain the momentum he had earlier in his career. The Dallas, Texas native was the next big thing in the sport early in his career, having won three majors before he turned 24. Spieth still has the talent to get back to the top of the sport, but it will be a grind the next few days to stay in this tournament till the final day. But so far so good!

Former NFL star Brown wanted for attempted murder: police
Former NFL star Antonio Brown is wanted by police in Florida on charges of attempted murder (ELSA) Police in Florida have issued a warrant for the arrest of former NFL star Antonio Brown on a charge of attempted murder, authorities confirmed on Friday. Super Bowl-winner Brown is wanted in connection with an incident at an amateur boxing event in Miami on May 16. Advertisement A copy of the warrant said "several" witnesses saw Brown fire shots following a physical altercation with another man. The warrant said Brown had grabbed the handgun from a security guard. An off-duty police officer providing security for the event detained Brown before other police arrived on the scene. No gun was found on Brown, and the other man involved in the fight with the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver was not immediately located. The arrest warrant said two spent shell casings were recovered from the scene along with a discarded firearm holster. Brown later addressed the incident in a post on X on May 17, saying he had been "jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me." Advertisement "Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me," Brown wrote. "I went home that night and was not arrested." The incident is the latest in a long line of legal problems faced by Brown, who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before later winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. Brown was accused of sexual assault by a former trainer in a 2019 civil suit which he later settled, and also pleaded no contest to burglary and battery in 2020 after an incident with a removal truck company outside his home. Brown's NFL career came to an end after he famously removed his jersey and stormed off the field during a Tampa Bay game against the New York Jets in 2022. rcw/bb

Commanders Coach Delighted With Deebo Samuel Despite Viral Narrative
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Now that the outspoken Deebo Samuel is in a new situation with the Washington Commanders, the former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver has a major spotlight on him. As Samuel joined one of the NFC's biggest risers, the star wideout is expected to give them a big enough boost to help the Commanders get over the hump and potentially into the Super Bowl. As Samuel works through the early process of making such a large change in his career, NFL fans have found a reason to spread a negative narrative around the versatile threat. Earlier this week, a video of Samuel running through a route at mandatory minicamp went viral for reasons that weren't ideal. Many have suggested that Samuel looked noticeably heavier than usual, and seemed to be moving slower than what fans are used to seeing. Put Deebo Samuel in motion and watch him work. — Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) June 11, 2025 Did Commanders head coach Dan Quinn catch wind of the viral narrative? He didn't comment on that exactly, but he did go out of his way to praise Samuel for his speed and ability to break away from defenders in the secondary after witnessing Samuel up close on his team for the first time this week. "Deebo, I think, has been very impressive to me for maybe a different reason than I thought," Quinn told reporters this week. "He was such a difficult person to tackle that you spent so much time [thinking], 'How are you going to tackle this person?' And somewhere along the way, I've forgotten how fast he is. And so, sometimes when you're playing against the receiver, you say, 'Man, you better either get him at the line or you better be on top of him.' With him so many times, there were so many run after catch plays that we had a tackling plan, and how would you go about it? Then I can remember one time he just ran by somebody down the field on a deep ball and I was like, 'Yeah, I forgot about that.' It didn't surprise me, but it was maybe I missed talking about it to that space because it was easily reminded, he's one of the fastest players on the team." Deebo Samuel #19 of the San Francisco 49ers runs with the ball against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Levi's Stadium on November 19, 2023 in Santa Clara, Samuel #19 of the San Francisco 49ers runs with the ball against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Levi's Stadium on November 19, 2023 in Santa Clara, has already found success in the NFL as a double-threat on offense. After 81 games with the 49ers, the veteran has produced 4,792 yards for 22 touchdowns in the receiving game, while rushing for 1,143 yards and 20 touchdowns. One viral clip online caused many to suggest the peak has been surpassed. Quinn wanted to remind the public that Samuel is still very much the offensive threat they spent a fifth-round pick on this offseason.
