Terron Armstead lists 8 Dolphins who impressed him most at training camp
Armstead listed eight players who stood out to him most during his time spent at Miami's camp practices. According to the former Dolphins left tackle, the following players were putting together impressive showings.
In 2025, the Dolphins will be relying on several young players who are tasked with replacing established veterans. Paul is stepping in to Armstead's shoes, Duck is shouldering the burden of replacing Jalen Ramsey, and Grant will take over on a defensive line that lost Christian Wilkins and Calais Campbell in the last two offseasons.
If Armstead's praise reflects growth that shows up on the field in September and beyond, the Dolphins could be in good shape in the upcoming season.

In a stunning twist, the Saints cut their starting punter Matthew Hayball before preseason
Well this is a bit of a surprise. The first New Orleans Saints preseason game is just days away, but the team isn't bringing their starting punter with them. In an Aug. 6 release from the team, the Saints announced they have waived punter Matthew Hayball and re-signed rookie quarterback Hunter Dekkers, who was waived on July 1. It's a tough break for Hayball, who won the starting job last summer from Lou Hedley. But the competition isn't over. Two punters remain with the team after the Saints traveled to California for a few days of practices at UC-Irvine before their preseason game with the Los Angeles Chargers, so it'll be rookie free agents James Burnip and Kai Kroeger battling it out these next few weeks. Special teams coordinator Phil Galiano was part of the staff which made Hayball the starter in the first place, but he clearly wants to take things in a new direction after replacing his longtime boss Darren Rizzi. Thomas Morstead set high standards in his decade-plus with the team, but at this point you have to wonder if the Saints shouldn't have just kept him in the first place. They've gone through four different punters in the five years since cutting the fan-favorite Pro Bowler, including Blake Gillikin (2021 and 2022), Hedley (2023), and Hayball (2024), with either Burnip or Kroeger punting in 2025. As for Morstead? He's still punting at age 39, now with the San Francisco 49ers, and if he can hold onto it, he'll return to New Orleans as a visitor on Sept. 14.

Jen Pawol will be MLB's first female umpire. Here are other women who broke officiating barriers
This weekend, Jen Pawol will make history by becoming the first woman to umpire a Major League Baseball game. She's set to work the series between the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves. The 48-year-old from New Jersey has worked spring training games over the last two years and in the minors since 2016. Here's a look at other female officials who were the first on the floor, court or the field in prominent men's leagues. NFL Shannon Eastin became the first female official in NFL history when she was a line judge during a preseason game in August 2012 between the Green Bay Packers and the Chargers, who were then in San Diego. A month later, she became the first woman to be an official in an NFL regular-season game when she worked as the line judge in the Rams-Lions game. Eastin was among the replacement officials hired by the league during a lockout of the regular officials. The first woman to get a full-season job was Sarah Thomas, who was a line judge in 2015. Thomas also became the first woman to work a Super Bowl when she was part of the seven-person crew on Feb. 7, 2021, when Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-9. Thomas was already the first woman to officiate a major college football game — and to work a bowl game. NBA Violet Palmer and Dee Kantner were hired by the National Basketball Association for the 1997 season. Palmer made her NBA debut on Oct. 31, 1997, when she was on the floor for the season opener between the Vancouver Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks. Palmer worked that night with Bill Oakes and Mark Wunderlich. Kantner's first game was Nov. 5, 1997, when Atlanta beat Philadelphia 93-88. Kantner worked alongside Ron Garretson and Ed Middleton. Palmer retired in 2016, and Kantner is still officiating women's NCAA basketball. NHL The NHL has yet to have a female on-ice official for a regular season or Stanley Cup playoff game. In the mid-1990s, Heather McDaniel received some national attention for officiating men's minor league games for the Central Hockey League and West Coast Hockey League. Two decades later, the NHL selected four female officials to work on the ice at the 2019 prospect tournaments. Katie Guay and Kelly Cooke served as referees, while Kirsten Welsh and Kendall Hanley worked as linesmen. It marked the first time women have officiated at the pre-training camp prospects tournament level. There was a subtle change made before the 2023-24 season when 'linesmen' became 'linespersons,' with women in the American Hockey League working their way up. Men's World Cup French referee Stéphanie Frappart made history in 2022 by becoming the first woman to be in charge of a men's World Cup match. The game between Germany at Costa Rica was held in Al Khor, Qatar. Men's NCAA tournament Melanie Davis was the first woman to officiate a Division I NCAA men's tournament game when she was on the floor for a first-round matchup between San Diego State and Illinois on March 15, 2002.

Verizon Promo Offers NFL Sunday Ticket Access at No Extra Cost
It's still the NFL preseason, but ahead of the official 2025-2026 regular season kickoff in September, Verizon, a long-term partner of the league, is offering NFL Sunday Ticket to new and existing mobile and internet customers. You don't even need a paid subscription for YouTube TV or YouTube Primetime Channels. Verizon revived its Sunday Ticket on Us promo on Tuesday, and it will run through Sept. 23, along with an alternative option to get $200 off the sports package for a savings of up to $480. The deal grants football fans access to watch out-of-market Sunday games that aren't broadcast on their local networks. As an added perk, the company is giving out a limited number of free tickets to NFL games. Beginning Thursday at 8 a.m. ET, Verizon users can check the My Verizon app for spontaneous ticket giveaways throughout the season. You'll need a Google account to stream live games on the sports package. This promo expires on Sept. 23, and you must redeem it within 60 days of your purchase or service activation. How to get NFL Sunday Ticket for free from Verizon The wireless company offers multiple ways to get in on the game action, whether you're new or a current customer. How do you know if you're eligible for free access? If you buy a 5G phone from Verizon and sign up for a new line on its myPlan service, you can get the deal. Wireless customers can bring their own phone and add a new line with myPlan to be eligible. Activate one of these internet plans: Fios 1 Gig, Fios 2 Gig, LTE Home Plus or 5G Home Ultimate. Get $200 off the price of Sunday Ticket Existing Verizon phone or home internet customers can still get a discount without switching subscription plans or buying new devices, and returning Sunday Ticket subscribers may also be eligible. Though the offer doesn't apply if you're a Verizon prepaid, business or data-only phone customer, you can sign up for the sports package by Sept. 23 to lock in $200 off the full price.
