A'ja Wilson shocked teammate with gross, NSFW quote during press conference
Las Vegas Aces superstar center A'ja Wilson made a curious metaphor about not forcing her success on the court. As the Aces surge in the WNBA playoff standings, Wilson discussed her approach to finding success during this recent Las Vegas run and made a pretty gross comparison to not forcing success. "It's like forcing a fart," Wilson said in the team's Friday postgame press conference after defeating the Phoenix Mercury. "All you get is [expletive]." Teammate Chelsea Gray looked immediately shocked after hearing Wilson make such a gross comparison. "That's going to go viral," Gray emphatically told Wilson during the presser. Some NSFW language to follow. Welp, you can't take that metaphor back! When do the Aces play again? The team plays at home against the Dallas Wings on Sunday afternoon.

Akshay Bhatia's ace on 17th hole at BMW wins a car, boosts hopes of reaching the Tour Championship
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Akshay Bhatia made an ace on the 17th hole of the BMW Championship on Saturday, winning a car and boosting his chances of qualifying for the Tour Championship next week. The top 30 in the FedEx Cup advance to the Tour Championship, and Bhatia is right on the bubble, having entered this event in 29th. His hole-in-one came on an intimidating 227-yard, par 3 with an elevated tee and water to the right of the green. The pin was toward the front of the green with a bunker to the left. Bhatia shot a 5-over 75 in the first round Thursday, leaving him 13 strokes behind the leader. But he shot a third-round 66 on Saturday, holing out a sand wedge from 93 yards for an eagle on the par-4 seventh. When his 5-iron on No. 17 rolled into the hole, it moved him to even par for the tournament. The ace earned Bhatia the BMW iX M70 on display next to the 17th tee. It also means $125,000 will go from BMW to the Evans Scholars Foundation, which oversees a scholarship program for caddies. 'I don't really necessarily need a new car. I'm pretty happy with what I've got,' the 23-year-old Bhatia said. 'I think either I'll give it to my caddie or figure something out to where I can donate it to charity or something.' ___ AP golf:

Ahmed Hassanein injury update: Latest news on Detroit Lions rookie's status
Ahmed Hassanein injury update: Latest news on Detroit Lions rookie's status originally appeared on The Sporting News Detroit Lions rookie edge rusher Ahmed Hassanein got banged-up in the second half of the preseason Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins. The injury occurred in the third quarter of the contest against Miami. Hassanein was clearly shaken up after a play and sat upright on the field for an extended period of time while trainers checked on him. It goes without saying that any injury the Lions suffer is troublesome considering all of their woes in 2024. But an injury to the edge rusher group, which has no shortage of question marks, is even more concerning. Here's the latest update on Hassanein. Ahmed Hassanein injury update According to Tim Twentyman of Hassanein was slow to get up after getting injured and appeared to be favoring his right arm. Twentyman adds that Hassanein went straight to the locker room instead of making a trip to the blue medical tent first, which isn't a great sign. We'll update this page when more information becomes available, but it's safe to assume that the rookie's day is done. A sixth-round pick of the Lions in April, Hassanein has shown flashes this offseason and is slated to grab a reserve role on the 53-man roster. There's an opportunity for him to have a sizeable role, as the Lions have a shaky situation opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Marcus Davenport is slated to start but is injury-prone, and there isn't much else behind those two.
