At Nationals Park, It Was Game Time as Usual
As the Nationals game against the Philadelphia Phillies got underway Friday night, thousands of Major League Baseball fans streamed into Nationals Park in Washington as they would for any other game. Outside the stadium gates, young people packed into picnic tables outside bars and restaurants, enjoying a warm and muggy Friday night as vendors hawked water, sausages and merchandise. There weren't any federal law enforcement agents around as the game began, as far as this reporter could tell, and even the Metropolitan Police Department presence seemed fairly muted. Two friends, Meredith Barnett, 45, and Kimberly O'Connor, 56, said they had come for the game but also for the Sam Hunt concert that was expected to start at the end of the ninth inning. The pair had come into the city from the Virginia suburbs. Ms. Barnett, a federal contractor, said she was supportive of the efforts President Trump had made to crack down on crime, which she said was a problem in Washington. Just the other day, she said, she saw a man being arrested in downtown Washington after he had tried to mug a woman in broad daylight. 'Cleaning up the city, getting rid of people doing bad things — I just don't understand how anybody cannot support that,' Ms. Barnett said. 'People are doing bad things — shooting people, robbing people.' But both women said they weren't personally concerned about their safety in the city on Friday night or other nights. They still go out at night, and they said it was always a good idea to be aware of one's surroundings. A little before 9 p.m., about an hour after the Navy Yard's nightly youth curfew had gone into effect, a group of federal agents began a patrol of the area, walking slowly down Half Street. They weren't there to enforce the curfew, one agent said, just conducting a normal patrol. The agents, most of whom wore masks over their mouths and noses, wore uniforms that identified them as members of the Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security and the F.B.I. The group paused on a corner near the stadium's entrance to pose for photos with a young boy and his parents and then continued on their way. As the group of agents passed a bar, one woman sitting at a counter outside called out to them, mockingly. 'Oh, scary,' she called. 'Oh, the F.B.I. I'm scared.'

Will Jon Gruden & Brian Flores lawsuits change NFL arbitration forever?
Yahoo Sports host Andrew Siciliano, senior NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson discuss the ongoing lawsuits between the former head coaches and the league - and what is the most likely outcome. Hear the full conversation on 'Inside Coverage' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript This is gonna get a little bit in the weeds here, but this is important. And let me explain to the average NFL fan why it is important. It has to do, guys, with arbitration, and the league basically has a system that if you are disciplined and you appeal, the appeal very often goes to the commissioner. Now there are also appeals officers, right, that the league has as well, usually former players, but very often the fun can go all the way up to Roger Goodell. Jon Gruden and Brian Flores both have pending cases. When it comes to Gruden, he claims that the league released or leaked emails, and that led to his firing with the Raiders. He has a suit in Nevada, Brian Flores has a suit as well. He couldn't get a head coaching job after the Dolphins fired him. In both cases, Charles, there are now rulings pushing back against the concept that Roger Goodell or the head of any corporation is the final arbiter of discipline within that structure. That doesn't work. It's gonna affect the NFL's arbitration system because the league now has to sit there and look at this and say, this has been a huge legal battle right now with these coaches, and we have to look and be forward thinking and know that if, if we want them in that arbitration system, we're gonna have to bargain that. There's going to have to be something in place that gives us the power to push them very clearly in writing through the arbitration system rather than through a normal court, a normal court system. So it's, the NFL as a league, not wanting to air its dirty laundry. is on the verge with these two lawsuits of being put in a situation where a lot of dirty laundry could ultimately get aired or at the very least, people are gonna be poking around in emails and other documents, and, and, you know, talking to people under oath in ways that, that I think would make the league uncomfortable. Charles, I just want to ask you real quick, what do you think the odds are that these guys just play it out because the NFL's playbook on it, look, and the NFL's arbitration process has always been kind of trash, and they overstepped their bounds. We all know that. But I think a lot of people, how this is going to appeal to people is, Oh, the NFL is going to have to release all these emails and discovery. This is all going to be public information. Wow, okay. How likely do you think it is Gruden and or Flores say, I don't want your settlement check. I want you to get aired out in court. That's what I want. Because Gruden, I think, has said that this case has gone on so long that I can't remember it, but I do remember a quote at the beginning of basically Gruden saying, and I'm paraphrasing in a, in a very general way, my coaching career in the NFL is probably over anyway. I just want to get to the NFL court and arris. So how likely do you think it is that it goes to that because everybody settles? Hey, Kaepernick. That was the one I was like, Oh, they're going to go to court. And then Kaepernick settled. I was like, oh, that's disappointing. How, how likely do you think it is? I will say this. I have no doubt whatsoever that if this gets into the point of, um, where discovery is going to open or where this is getting pushed into, you know, a courtroom in, in, in front of a jury, I would be stunned if the NFL does not attempt, at the very least, to write a check and get this handled rather than go forward and have people rooting through emails and, you know, at least in the Gruden case. You, whoever leaked the emails to the media, um, that ultimately led to Jon Gruden's firing, that will come out. Uh, it's almost impossible that that would not come out in discovery. So if that's an individual, um, at 345 Park Avenue, it is in the NFL's best interest to make sure they, they, um, obscure that individual's identity in any way possible. And the way to do it would be through money. Close

UFC heavyweight suspended for doping violation
UFC heavyweight suspended for doping violation originally appeared on The Sporting News The UFC career of Alvin Hines is in serious jeopardy. The heavyweight, who lost his Octagon debut at UFC 317 earlier this year, has been suspended for a year after a failed drug test. Hines, who took a bout with Jhonata Diniz on short notice in June, tested positive for the anabolic steroid Drostanolone, the promotion announced. The test results were released by Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD). MORE: Dana White still has trust with Conor McGregor to make big fights A native of Minnesota, Hines was also found to have 3a-Hydroxy-2a-methyl-5a-androstan-17-one and testosterone metabolites, as well as a metabolite of Tamoxifen, 3-Hydroxy-4-methooxytamoxifen, a hormone and metabolic modulator in his system. The tests were take from samples collected both in-competition and out-of-competition. In the release, the UFC noted that the cases reflected that Hines consumed the substances that are banned before he was signed to the UFC, but that he also failed to disclose taking them when his onboarding into the UFC Anti-Doping Program was completed just days before his bout. "Under the UFC ADP, CSAD evaluates each case and can reduce periods of ineligibility based on the athlete's degree of fault and their level of cooperation," the UFC said in a statement. " While Hines failed to disclose his prior use of these substances during onboarding, the estimated concentrations of these substances in Hines' samples were reflective that they were near the tail end of excretion and supported his explanation of their use prior to being signed to the UFC and entering the UFC registered testing pool." The suspension started on July 11, 2025 and runs for one year.
