Report: Bengals restart talks with star DE Trey Hendrickson
June 15 - The Cincinnati Bengals and star defensive end Trey Hendrickson have reportedly resumed contract discussions. The NFL sack leader has been at odds with the franchise over the lack of a contract extension, but ESPN reported Sunday that dialogue has picked up. Hendrickson, 30, skipped last week's mandatory three-day mini-camp and is reportedly subject to $105,000 in fines. Hendrickson is slated to earn $15.8 million in base salary in 2025. That pales in comparison to the recent $40 million average deal Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett signed in the offseason. Hendrickson has indicated he won't play without a bump in pay and expressed disappointment in the process in mid-May. "When there's a lack of communication in any relationship, where it's a business or personal relationship, lack of communication leads to animosity, and that leaves my narrative only to me with no clear direction," Hendrickson said May 13 when asked about whether he wants to remain with the Bengals. Hendrickson had 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons with that output being the best in the league in 2024. He has 57 total sacks in his four seasons with Cincinnati and has made the Pro Bowl on each occasion. Overall, Hendrickson has 77 career sacks in 110 games (81 starts), divided equally between the New Orleans Saints (2017-20) and Bengals. Bengals rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart also is in a dispute with the team over the language in his contract. --Field Level Media

Angel Reese becomes second-youngest WNBA player to record triple-double
Angel Reese recorded her first triple double, Hailey Van Lith led a dominant performance by the Chicago bench with a career-high 16 points and the Sky pulled away from the Connecticut Sun for a 78-66 win on Sunday. Reese, at the age of 23, became the second-youngest WNBA player in history with a triple double. Only Caitlin Clark had a triple double at a younger age; she had two while she was 22. Fueled by Reese's 11 assists – more than double her previous career high – Chicago put five players in double figures. The Sky bench outscored the Sun reserves 36-2 in the Commissioner's Cup game. Reese also had 11 points and 13 rebounds for Chicago (3-7). Kia Nurse had 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting with three threes, and Kamilla Cardoso and Ariel Atkins both had 10 points. Reserve Rachel Banham made her 300th career three-pointer. Marina Mabrey scored 22 points with five threes for the Sun (2-8). Tina Charles added 19 points and Jacy Sheldon had 12. Both teams shot 40% and made six three-pointers in the first half but the Sky were perfect on eight free throws to take a 38-36 lead. Mabrey was the only player in double figures with 16. Mabrey's three and two free throws by Charles gave Connecticut a 47-44 lead early in the second half but Michaela Onyenwere and Reese converted three-point plays to make it 51-48. The Sky led 59-54 entering the fourth quarter.

INSIDE SPORT: Food and drink prices at Club World Cup revealed after Inter Miami's tournament opener - as event chiefs get a glimpse of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown
A nice touch at the European Clubs Association executive committee meeting in Miami on Friday. Outgoing Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain brought along his replacement, Hugo Viana and introduced the Portuguese to those present. FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafstrom delivered a presentation to the group, which included a video message from City's Erling Haaland along the lines of how much he was looking forward to taking part in the Club World Cup. The presentation also highlighted the sponsorship deals FIFA has secured with big-hitters including Bank of America and Michelob for the event, although insiders disclosed that there was no mention of ticket sales, which appeared to be the elephant in the room at the oceanside Grand Beach Hotel. Jason Gannon, Chelsea president and chief operating officer, also attended. FIFA officials were given a first-hand glimpse of Donald Trump 's immigration crackdown when a boat trip hosted by Telemundo to mark a year to go to the World Cup was the subject of a US Coast Guard raid. The mayor of Miam-Dade Daniella Levine Cava and a host of special guests of the American Spanish-language broadcaster, in smart dresses and suits, were on a luxury catamaran when it was unceremoniously stopped in the middle of the waters off Biscayne Bay while Coast Guard officers came onboard to check papers and carry put a search. Reports claim the inspection lasted for an hour, leading Telemundo to cancel the event and return to shore. There was no expense spared when FOX hosted their own year-to-go party on South Beach. FIFA chief Gianni Infantino joined VIPs for a show which included a performance from 'Tipsy' rapper Shaboozey and a spectacular drone show, with the devices lining up to spell out the names of Club World Cup sponsors. While the tickets may have ended up heavily reduced, as FIFA successfully scrambled to fill the stands at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium for the tournament opener, the same could not be said of the food and drink. A can of Heineken at the Inter Miami versus Al Ahly stalemate cost no less than $14 (£10.32) while a chicken bowl came in at $22.50 (£16.59). A goalless draw may not have been on FIFA's menu, but officials may well have breathed a sigh of relief at the attendance for the first match. The official figure of 60,927 appeared generous, but fears of half empty stands were averted on a balmy night in South Florida. Organisers will also be pleased that there was no repeat of the chaotic scenes a year ago at the same stadium when ticketless fans tried to storm their way into the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia. A ring of steel consisting of police checkpoints ensured that only those with tickets were allowed anywhere near the venue. Ref cam was a positive addition, with those watching on TV given an up close view of what Aussie whistleblower Alireza Faghani saw when he gave a first-half penalty. The Football Supporters' Association has thrown its weight behind the National League's '3UP' campaign. The scandalous situation, which sees only two clubs promoted into League Two, continues, and it is to be hoped that backing from the fans can heap pressure on the EFL. This season, York City finished 13 points clear of third place with 96 points but were thrashed 3-0 at home by Oldham Athletic, who went on to win the play-off final, and missed out on promotion. Change is needed, urgently. British Olympic Association chiefs were amongst the first to get an audience with new IOC president Kirsty Coventry in Lausanne last week. With Coventry set to take the reins from current IOC president Thomas Bach, the delegation met with both the ongoing and incoming president to discuss the future of the Olympic movement. It was also BOA chairperson Katherine Grainger's first formal engagement with the IOC, as both her, chief executive Andy Anson and chief operating officer Shahab Uddin took an early opportunity to solidify relations between the UK and the IOC. Signatures are now being sought to reach the requisite 180 for an MCC special general meeting to try to establish 'Lord's plc.' A group of members want the 238-year-old club to become a public limited company, with each subsequently becoming the proud owner of a share those involve estimate would be worth £50-100,000. Should the magic 180 figure be reached, a two-thirds majority would then be needed to change the rules.
