Wayne Gretzky's Daughter Paulina Turns Heads With Outfit After Panthers-Oilers Game 2
Wayne Gretzky's Daughter Paulina Turns Heads With Outfit After Panthers-Oilers Game 2 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Wayne Gretzky is considered by many to be the greatest NHLer of all-time.
The Hall of Fame forward retired holding 40 regular-season records, 15 playoff records, and six all-star records, and since six of them have been broken and he gained a new one—most regular-season points per game— after Mario Lemieux dropped to second place after his NHL return from 2000 to 20025.

Gretzky's record most career goals was broken earlier this season by Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin, and if that weren't enough heartbreak, the 64-year-old legend had to endure more painful news on Saturday when his daughter Paulina made it known publicly she was rooting against her father's Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final.
Less than 24 hours after the Florida Panthers' 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2, Paulina posted a photo of her outfit as she hit the links.
The 36-year-old social media influencer, who's also married to PGA tour star Dustin Johnson, was wearing a blank tank top and matching black shorts with a pair of red, white, and black Nike sneakers and a Panthers hat, which she proudly posted with the caption 'love the red.'

Paulina and Johnson reside in Palm Beach, Florida — just a 50-minute car ride away from the Panthers' Amerant Bank Arena. The couple are proud Panthers fans and have been seen many times supporting the team at games and wearing Panthers gear.

Meanwhile, Gretzky, who has been serving as a studio analyst for 'NHL on TNT,' spent the bulk of his Hall of Fame career with the Oilers (1979 to 1988).
'The Great One' scored 583 of his 894 career goals and 1,669 of his 2,857 career points in Edmonton, where he led the league in goals five times and points eight times.

Gretzky holds first (92), second (87), eighth (73) and 11th (71) place on the NHL's single-season goals list, and he holds nine of the top 11 spots on the single-season points list, including the top four spots (215, 212, 208, 205) — all with the Oilers.
Gretzky earned nine of his 18 All-Star games, eight of his nine Hart trophies, seven of his 10 Art Ross trophies, and one of his five Lady Byng awards while playing in Edmonton as well.

Ohio State lands commitment from four-star DE Khary Wilder
Khary Wilder had many other top programs pursuing him but after spending a weekend at Ohio State and talking through the plan with that exceptional coaching staff, the four-star defensive end found his new home. On Tuesday, the four-star defensive end from Gardena (Calif.) Serra committed to the Buckeyes and is not planning any other visits. Advertisement 'It was just seeing how much of a priority I am for them,' Wilder said. 'Spending time with coach (Larry) Johnson and coach (Ryan) Day, coach (Matt) Patricia and all the coaches, they made me feel like a real priority and like I was really wanted there and that was the place I could call home. 'It was great meeting them. It was great sitting down and hearing their plan for me to dominate throughout my college years, how they see me fitting, my skill set and what I can work on and how I can build on my game to even before I get there and while I'm there, too. 'Coach Johnson was giving me tips and drills on what I could work on now for little things about my game that I could perfect and do better.' Wilder has always had dreams of playing in the pros and the four-star defensive end who shined at the Rivals Camp in Los Angeles and will be at the Rivals Five-Star in a couple weeks is fully aware of all the success the Buckeyes have had across the board especially along the defensive line. Advertisement He wants to be the next one. 'The NFL has always been the goal, that's been my dream, so seeing coach Johnson and Ohio State's track record of producing top-level d-linemen and NFL defensive ends, just seeing that really motivates me and encourages me,' Wilder said. 'If I'm a priority for them and they want me to come and they see me fitting and playing in their system and they're putting out so many NFL guys at my position, that's one step closer to my dream.' Notre Dame, Washington and UCLA were the other frontrunners but once Wilder finished his Ohio State visit, he knew what he was going to do. Advertisement 'It was really hard to say no to all of them because they all spent time building a great relationship with me, reaching out, talking to my coaches and my family and making me feel like a priority, too,' Wilder said. 'It was a decision I had to make but I feel very confident in my decision with coach Johnson and coach Day and coach Patricia and their plan for me.'

Shohei Ohtani looked 'really good' throwing 3 simulated innings in San Diego
Shohei Ohtani is moving ever closer to his first pitching appearance for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In fact, there's now a chance his fans might not even have to wait until the All-Star break. Ohtani looked sharp while throwing three simulated innings on Tuesday at Petco Park before the Dodgers faced the San Diego Padres, manager Dave Roberts said. The outing was another significant step in Ohtani's recovery from the elbow surgery that has prevented the two-way superstar from pitching since he signed with the Dodgers before last season. Ohtani threw just under 50 pitches to two minor league hitters during the third simulated game in his gradual comeback to the mound. The three-time MVP used his fastball and sweeper impressively, according to Roberts and Dodgers pitching coach Mark Prior. "I thought he was really good," Roberts said. "I thought the fastball had life. I thought the sweeper was really good. ... (The hitters) said the stuff was coming out really well. It was about 44 pitches or something like that, so it was really good." The Dodgers have been cagey about the timeline for Ohtani's return to the mound, with Roberts suggesting in recent weeks that it might not happen until after the All-Star break. But after Ohtani's latest mound outing, Roberts now says the chance of Ohtani pitching in a game before the All-Star break begins July 14 is "north of zero." "It doesn't have to be a full buildup, because anything that he can give us is certainly going to be additive," Roberts added. "But I still stand by him and Dr. (Neal) ElAttrache, the training staff. They're going to drive this. So I'm just anxious for the next one." Ohtani hasn't pitched in a major league game since Aug. 23, 2023, when he abruptly left in the second inning of his final start for the Los Angeles Angels. He was eventually diagnosed with a torn elbow ligament that required surgery. Ohtani has demonstrated elite pitching ability when healthy: He went 38-19 with a 3.01 ERA and a 1.08 WHIP while starting 86 games over five seasons for the Angels. He didn't pitch at all in 2019 and made just two starts in 2020 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. Ohtani has remained steadfastly committed to playing both ways despite his hitting prowess, and the Dodgers could really use him on the mound this season. Los Angeles has 14 pitchers on the injured list, including expected starters Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Tony Gonsolin and Gavin Stone. Still, the Dodgers say they won't rush their cornerstone. "It's tempting," Roberts said with a smile. "I'm sure Shohei is tempted to just rip the Band-Aid off and get into a big-league game, but I think we're doing a good job of trying to take care of him. And truth be told, I don't know if anyone knows the right time to get him into a big-league game, but we're still being very careful." Ohtani has been only a designated hitter since he agreed to a 10-year, $700 million free-agent deal with the Dodgers. He immediately won his third MVP award in 2024, batting .310 with 54 homers, 130 RBIs and 59 stolen bases for the eventual World Series champions. Ohtani was in his usual spot as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter for Tuesday night's game against the Padres. Los Angeles planned to throw yet another bullpen game due to the rotation's extensive injury woes. Snell also threw his first full bullpen session in two months on Tuesday at Petco Park. The two-time Cy Young winner, who will throw another 20 pitches on Friday, has said his arm is now pain free after he was shut down with left shoulder inflammation on April 6. Snell made only two starts this season before going on the injured list. He agreed to a five-year, $182 million contract with the Dodgers last winter. Reporting by The Associated Press.

Josh Allen Announces Decision on 2028 Olympics
Josh Allen Announces Decision on 2028 Olympics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After falling just short of reaching the Super Bowl once again, Josh Allen is now preparing for his eighth season in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills. Advertisement Allen is coming off one of the best seasons of his career, winning his first NFL MVP award. He completed 307-of-483 passes for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions, along with 531 yards and another 12 scores on the ground. But Allen may be eyeing football opportunities beyond the NFL. In May, league owners passed a resolution allowing players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Flag football will be introduced as a new game to the Olympics in 2028. The NFL will only allow one player per team to participate, and "each club's designated international player is also permitted to take part for his country." Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh MacIntyre-Yee/Democrat and Chronicle / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images On Tuesday, Allen participated in the Bills' first day of mandatory minicamp, speaking to the media afterward. When asked if he would consider playing flag football in the 2028 Olympics, Allen revealed his answer. Advertisement "I'm not going to disrespect the guys that are playing flag football right now," Allen said. "If there was an opportunity for me to try, I would absolutely love to. I've always wanted to compete for my country. Every time the Olympics are on, I'm tuned into the screen. But I think there's no greater to do that. It would be really cool. But I guess we'll find out." While Allen may be excited about the chance to represent his country in 2028, the current U.S. flag football starting quarterback, Darrell Doucette, is opposed to the idea of NFL players in the Olympics. "The flag guys deserve their opportunity," Doucette said. "That's all we want. We felt like we worked hard to get the sport to where it's at, and then when the NFL guys spoke about it, it was like we were getting kicked to the side."
