Sports anchor, reporter Trey Daerr leaving Ch. 7
'My two daughters were born in Boston, I saw multiple Super Bowls, a World Series at Fenway Park, and an 18th banner [for the Celtics]. Sad to end. Thrilled it happened.'
Daerr, a Pittsburgh native and 2008 graduate of Duquesne University, did not say whether the decision was his own and what his immediate or future plans entail. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts' 'Hyperforcused' Comment Will Fire Up Padres Fans
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A war of words is always fun before a big rivalry matchup. The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will square off this weekend, and though it's the former who got a World Series trophy last year, the latter suddenly seems to have the upper hand. After making up 10 games in the standings in just over a month, the Padres hold a one-game lead in the National League West entering Friday's series opener. As the Dodgers get set to defend their home turf, their manager had an intriguing message about their chief rival. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 18: Manager Dave Roberts #30 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on during the seventh inning against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on June 18, 2025 in Los... LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 18: Manager Dave Roberts #30 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on during the seventh inning against the San Diego Padres at Dodger Stadium on June 18, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by)Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said, in anticipation of the matchup, that he believes the Padres are "hyperfocused" on the Dodgers, strongly suggesting that they circle these games on their calendar and show more intensity than they do in most matchups. "I think that the rivalry part is certainly real," Roberts said this week, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. "Which brings emotions. "I do think it's one of those things where they're very hyperfocused on us. But I guess it's a compliment. Still, we've got to match their intensity because they want to beat us more than anything." In the last series the two teams played, Roberts was ejected from a game, then in the next contest, Padres manager Mike Shildt came charging out of the dugout after the Dodgers hit Fernando Tatis Jr. with a pitch, barking at Roberts. The bad blood is sure to add some spice to these crucial contests. "I never want to make it about me, I really don't," Roberts said of the dustup, per Ardaya. "I just took offense to his response towards me. I thought it was directed at me. But I just want to go out and play good baseball. That's kind of where my head's at." The big story may not be about Roberts, but the Dodgers as a whole simply have to play better. The National League West has been theirs to lose for the last decade, and they'd have no one to blame but themselves if the Padres usurped them.

Little League condemns betting on World Series, says there's no place for it
Some of the major North American sports have pretty much embraced gambling as a part of the culture, even partnering with some companies, as long as it doesn't compromise the integrity of the game or what viewers see on the playing field. Little League Baseball, whose World Series started this week in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, wants nothing to do with gambling, releasing a statement condemning the practice when it comes to their games and urging fans to place their bets elsewhere and stay away from their sport. 'While Little League International continues to monitor the complexity and ever-evolving world of sports betting, we feel strongly that there is no place for betting on Little League games or on any youth sports competition,' Little League Baseball said in a statement. 'Little League is a trusted place where children are learning the fundamentals of the games and all the important life lessons that come with having fun, celebrating teamwork, and playing with integrity, and no one should be exploiting the success and failures of children playing the game they love for their own personal gain.' No sportsbooks in the United States offer betting on the Little League World Series, but that doesn't mean unregulated sportsbooks overseas or other gambling houses will heed calls to exclude the tournament from being wagered on. The gambling site based in Panama, has offered odds on the Little League World Series in each of the last four years. "The Little League World Series is an exciting tournament that our customers absolutely love to watch, and we get requests from them every year around this time to offer odds," BetOnline brand manager Dave Mason said in a statement. "This will probably be shocking to hear, but we'll take more bets on these Little League games than we will on any professional tennis or soccer match over the next two weeks."

Former Boston Celtics, New York Knicks Star Plotting UFC Career after Retirement?
Former New York Knicks and Boston Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis is seriously considering becoming the tallest fighter to ever compete in a mixed martial arts cage. When Porzingis entered the NBA a decade ago at 20 years old, he was dubbed a basketball unicorn. The 7-foot-2 Latvian was able to do stunning things for a player of his size. He was very athletic, could shoot from distance, and was an above-average ball handler. Well, it seems he wants to now be a unicorn in another sport: Cage fighting. Also Read: 'MMA is a sport that is very close to my heart. Number one in terms of viewing. That's the thing I'm going to light up on, so I decided to participate in a new MMA project,' Porzingis told Sporta Centrs this week. 'Everything is still in process. When we approach the final result, I'll be able to tell you more. 'I've tried my hand at MMA, but I promised one of the clubs I represented that I would not do so during my career.' The tallest fighter to ever compete in the UFC and MMA in general is 24-fight veteran Stefan Struve. The Dutch star was 7 feet tall. The Knicks and Celtics veteran would beat him by two inches if he made the jump to MMA when he ended his NBA career. Could Kristaps Porzingis make it to the UFC? If Porzingis were truly dedicated to being a serious MMA fighter, his physical gifts alone would give him a big advantage. It takes a pretty good athlete to make it to the NBA. And when healthy, Porzingis has always been an above-average athlete for a player of his size. The big issue is those long legs that have given him the reputation of being injury-prone. Since it would be difficult for almost all of his opponents to reach his head, they will target his legs. Considering how beat up they already are, they could be a major weakness against a heavyweight that knows how to deliver effective kicks. Could Kristaps Porzingis make it to the UFC? It's possible. More than ever, the UFC has leaned toward the entertainment side of fight sports. While they won't let him compete in the Octagon with no experience like they did for WWE legend CM Punk in 2016, if he scored two or three wins on the regional scene, they could definitely fast-track him to the company to bank big money off his NBA notoriety for at least one fight.
