Browns not the only one monitoring Isaiah Bond's situation
It's been reported that former Texas wide receiver Isaiah Bond, who stated he was joining the Cleveland Browns, is currently under investigation. The league is reviewing his sexual assault case, which was no-billed on Thursday evening, according to Mary Kay Cabot of While the team has made no official announcement of this signing, Bond was quick to shout out Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and other representatives of the franchise. In terms of best fit, Cleveland could be the quickest opportunity for this young wide receiver to get another chance. The NFL is reviewing this case because there is a possibility that, even if not faced with legal action, Bond could have violated the Personal Conduct Policy. Despite this, the reason for signing Bond is obvious: the Browns desperately need depth at the wide receiver position, and Bond was projected to be a first- or second-round pick before his legal troubles. The expectation is that the team will announce his signing sooner rather than later, especially if they want to have him on the field for the final preseason game.

Georgia TV Station Misspells Name Of Atlanta Falcons QB — And It's Unfortunately Hilarious
A Georgia TV station is arousing attention for an unfortunate typo regarding Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. During a story about a scuffle the second-year starter was involved in during a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans, the Savannah, Georgia, CBS affiliate put up a chyron that misspelled Penix's last name. As you can see in the clip below, the graphic got pretty graphic and referred to the QB as 'Michael Penis Jr.' HuffPost reached out to WTOC for comment, but no one immediately responded. Mediaite did offer some grace to the WTOC chyron operator by noting that 'X' and 'S' are pretty darn close on QWERTY keyboards. No video of the unfortunate typo appears on the station's website, but, not surprisingly, the clip has gone viral ― and is inspiring some pretty ballsy comments on social media.

Why aren't the Dodgers performing up to expectations?
Yahoo Sports senior MLB analyst Jake Mintz and senior MLB analyst Jordan Shusterman break down the struggles that the Los Angeles Dodgers have been experiencing. Hear the full conversation on the 'Baseball Bar-B-Cast' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript The only three players on offense that have performed at or above expectations on a regular basis this year for the Dodgers are Otani, Will Smith, and Andy Paxton, OK, who's been a delightful surprise for them. Freddie has been fine. He has been regular, maybe slightly below what we expected from Freddie. Unbelievable for two months, pretty bad for a month and a half. He has been, I would say, over the last month, he's been Freddie Freeman, totally doing great. Mookie Betts, first year of his career, bad, just bad, and he's been honest about that, but this is not the Mookie Betts we expect. This is not Mookie Betts. You do not expect this from Mookie Betts. And over the last month, he has been very disappointing. That is also true about Teoscar Hernandez, who they brought back on a three-year deal over the winter. He has been bad. Those are the two guys you expect to be contributors that have been blocked. But then there's the next level down, right, dudes are hitting .6789, let's say, Tommy Edmond, bad and hurt. Hassan Kim, bad and hurt. We're giving a ton of at bats to Estuary Ruiz and Michael Conforto, and now Alex Call since the deadline. Conforto, we have to just acknowledge this because he's the one that is getting the most flack because he signed a big contract and people know his name. I was in. I thought he was going to be great. I really did. I was totally sold. This was probably one of my biggest whiffs of the season. He's been atrocious, and truly, I know that they've now brought in Call, trying to make it more of a platoon situation. But no matter how they've shook it out, Conforto, that's the guy. I mean, these other small guys you've mentioned, I mean, sure, they're playing more now, but Conforto's up to you know, almost 400 plate appearances. At a .627 OPS. So that's been the real consistent weak spot that has not changed. Close
