Bears HC Ben Johnson shares thoughts on Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel
Being a coach in the NFL, as Chicago Bears fans know well, is a tough job. When you have a significant amount of success, you are beloved. When you only have a little bit of success or anything below that, you are expected to be fired. That may be the case for Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. He hails from the Kyle Shanahan coaching tree, so you know he's a smart cookie. However, the Dolphins may have a tough season due to their roster construction deteriorating over the years. When the team has been good, McDaniel has gotten them into the playoffs. A lot of that has been dependent on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's health, which has been spotty recently due to concussions. It's unfair to use the preseason as a measure for regular season success, Miami faces a tall order in the AFC East featuring the perennial division champion Buffalo Bills, a a resurgent New England Patriots team, and a hopeful New York Jets team, there is a scenario where the Dolphins come in last. Bears head coach Ben Johnson doesn't have that kind of pressure on him right now. There's pressure to win, but his seat is far from hot in his first season. Johnson should have a large runway of time as he tries to turn the franchise around after so many lousy years. Following the Bears and Dolphins' preseason tie last Sunday, Johnson was asked about McDaniel and showered the veteran coach with praise. 'I've always respected him from afar," Johnson said. "When he was in San Francisco to now Miami, some of the stuff, in particular the run game, it's next level. There's no one else that does it quite like he does. He finds a way to find space to the inside and perimeter runs. He can gash teams that way. He is a little bit of that mad scientist. There's a lot of respect there just from a schematic standpoint. I know they've got a good one there. When (Dolphins QB) Tua's (Tagovailoa) been healthy, they've been rolling, and they've been a playoff team really for all three years. I think he does a great job with that crew and I'm looking forward to our relationship continuing to grow.' That's some high praise for Johnson. He complimented McDaniel's offensive genius, which is saying something considering Johnson's resume as an offensive mind.

The Sports Report: Stumbling Dodgers fall into a first-place tie
From Jack Harris: This should've been it. A storybook ending. A cathartic late-game breakthrough. The kind of dramatic, momentum-shifting triumph to finally give the Dodgers some much-needed life. In the top of the ninth inning at Angel Stadium on Tuesday night, Shohei Ohtani lifted the team to the verge of a narrative-changing victory, breaking a tie score with the kind of swing that could have catapulted them into the season's closing stretch. With former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen on the mound, and a split crowd in Anaheim rising to its feet, Ohtani blasted a go-ahead home run deep to right field. He flipped his bat and emphatically smacked his hands together. He screamed toward a euphoric Dodgers dugout that was going raucously wild. 'Big hit right there,' manager Dave Roberts said. 'Obviously, you felt it in the dugout.' What the Dodgers felt next, however, might last much longer. Continue reading here More bad news for Dodgers' bullpen: Brock Stewart goes on the IL After one year, this MLB postseason schedule innovation is no longer Dodgers-Angels box score MLB scores MLB standings From Ira Gorawara: Almost hidden in a mocha pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt, and wearing those same fire-red Air Jordans from his Aug. 4 return to Los Angeles, Clippers royalty Chris Paul adorned the Sparks' bench. And though the 20-year veteran barely lifted a palm — leaving the cheering to his wife and daughter — Paul's court savvy still seemed to seep across the hardwood, finding its way to the Sparks' Kelsey Plum. Plum, who can very well be the tale of any Sparks game, but 'chooses to win,' as coach Lynne Roberts says, seemed to be scoring and assisting at will through a coast-to-coast battle against the New York Liberty, a tug-of-war that stayed taut until the rope finally slipped from the Sparks' grasp, 105-97. About three minutes before halftime, Brink sat on the bench while trainers wrapped her left ankle during a Sparks timeout. She never joined the team's halftime huddle as play resumed after the break, and when she finally emerged at the 6:17 mark in the third quarter, she watched the rest of the game from her seat. Continue reading here Sparks box score WNBA standings From Eduard Cauich: Jaime Jaquez Jr., who is preparing for his third season in the NBA with the Miami Heat, and his sister Gabriela Jaquez, a standout player for the UCLA Bruins and the Mexican national basketball team, set aside their own workouts to lead others through some familiar drills. The siblings recently hosted a summer camp for about 180 participants ages 6 to 16 at the Sports Academy facilities in Thousand Oaks. The three-hour camp aimed to promote basketball skills, discipline and a passion for the sport among children and teens. Some participants traveled from other states to attend the camp. 'It's good to come back and give something back to the community, especially in a place where we grew up. Being able to do this is special,' said Jaime, who grew up in Camarillo, shone for four years at UCLA and has represented Mexico in international tournaments. Continue reading here From Anthony De Leon: Even before Keenan Allen returned to the Chargers last week, he was already having an influence in the receiver room. As a rookie, Ladd McConkey studied Allen's practice film on his team-issued iPad, trying to absorb lessons from one of the league's best route runners — the very player whose rookie records for receptions and receiving yards McConkey would eventually surpass. 'You sit in team meetings, pull up your iPad and just watch,' McConkey said. 'Watching his one-on-one stuff from previous years, when he was here. I'm going to check this out, see what he's got.' Now, the 33-year-old Allen and 23-year-old McConkey are inseparable on the field. Throughout practice, McConkey picks the veteran's brain — something he says 'would be dumb if I didn't.'

That's not subjective opinion, it's objective fact. Just look at the MLS standings, where the Galaxy are dead last after Sunday's 4-0 loss to the Seattle Sounders, a game that wasn't nearly as close as the score would indicate. But the Galaxy are also one of the four best teams in Major League Soccer. That, too, is not subjective opinion but objective fact because, after an unbeaten run through Leagues Cup group play, the Galaxy are one of just four MLS teams to advance to the tournament quarterfinals. How can both things be true simultaneously? That's a good question — and one that can be only be answered subjectively. 'It takes time for a group to come together and a team to find out who they are,' Galaxy general manager Will Kuntz offered. 'We had to discover ourselves a little bit.'
