Phil Mickelson's legacy: Helping pro golfers and diminishing pro golf
Later this month, the day after the U.S. Open ends at Oakmont Country Club outside Pittsburgh, Phil Mickelson will turn 55. Presumably, Mickelson won't have completed the career Grand Slam — he is the U.S. Open short. That isn't a cheap shot at his chances but rather a realistic assessment of his recent record: nine missed cuts in his past 13 majors.

Shedeur Sanders shows promise but faces challenges in Browns' QB competition
BEREA, Ohio — The dichotomy that is Shedeur Sanders' development as a rookie quarterback and the heightened expectations for him with the Cleveland Browns were again on full display Wednesday. Sanders had the best throw of the day during organized team activities when he zipped a pinpoint pass to tight end Caden Davis in the back of the end zone during a 7-on-7 red zone drill. Whether or not Davis got both feet in before going out of bounds was up for debate on social media. However, Sanders was the only one of Cleveland's four quarterbacks not to take a snap with the first-team offense during 11-on-11 drills. He did take second-team snaps, but slipped and fell on the first play. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees lauded Sanders for his work ethic on what some still see as a steep learning curve for the fifth-round pick. 'He's really put in a lot of work as all those guys are, but you could tell on the mental side of the game and learning the system and calling it and having that rhythm to it, he's put a lot of work and time and effort into that. And then when you do that, the game starts to slow down and you can focus on finding completions. And he's done a nice job of that as camp's progressed,' Rees said. With three young quarterbacks in camp — third-round pick Dillon Gabriel, Sanders and fourth-year pro Kenny Pickett — Rees said a large amount of the offense has been installed while keeping a close eye on the growth and progression of all three. 'Definitely pushing them and pushing where we want them to go, but also being cognizant of, hey, we want them to go out there with confidence and making sure that it's beneficial to how they're learning and the way they're going,' Rees said. Joe Flacco and Pickett remain the front-runners to be under center on Sept. 7 when the Browns open against the Cincinnati Bengals. The amount of snaps all four will get during the first two weeks of training camp remain fluid. 'We're going to find ways to be creative and make sure they all have opportunities to develop and put their best foot forward. And when the time comes, we will continue to push guys forward as they earn it,' Rees said. The amount of snaps all four will receive during the three days of next week's mandatory minicamp also have to be determined. When it comes to who may win the starting job, Rees can see valid arguments for any of the four at this stage of the competition. 'We're so early in the process and in evaluating it. I think we have a good group of guys that will continue to push one another and by the time September rolls around, we'll be ready to go,' he said. ___ AP NFL:

Pelicans leadership addresses future with Zion Williamson following rape accusation
New Orleans Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations Joe Dumars and owner Gayle Benson are standing behind star forward Zion Williamson after he was accused of rape and domestic violence in a civil lawsuit last week. 'I've had really good conversations with Zion,' Dumars told The Times-Picayune on Wednesday about Williamson's future with the team. 'We've had lunch. Dinner. Watched playoff games together. We've done it all. I've had some real honest conversations with him. Some real direct and honest conversations. We're going to go forward with Zion. He's going to continue to be a focal point here as we go forward.' Advertisement When asked about the lawsuit against Williamson, Dumars said, 'I've been advised not to venture into any of his legal issues.' On Tuesday, Benson, who also owns the New Orleans Saints, addressed the suit, saying, 'You know, lawsuits are lawsuits.' 'People can sue you for anything,' Benson told reporters, per WWLTV. 'There's no reason. You can be innocent or not, so it's just something that people do, unfortunately.' The lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday by a woman who said she dated Williamson for almost five years, beginning when he was a freshman at Duke. The woman, identified as Jane Doe in the suit, is seeking an unspecified amount in damages from Williamson. In the lawsuit, she alleged that Williamson repeatedly raped her, hit and kicked her and made her fear for her life in several instances before the relationship ended in June 2023. She also alleged that Williamson falsely imprisoned and stalked her, threatened to kill her, and that he had a pattern of 'abusive, controlling, and threatening behavior.' Williamson denied the allegations in a statement through his attorneys, calling them 'categorically false and reckless.' His attorneys disputed the nature of the relationship, saying he and the woman never dated but maintained 'a consensual, casual relationship.' The attorneys said they 'reported the plaintiff's extortion attempts to law enforcement' and that Williamson 'intends to file counterclaims and seek significant damages for this defamatory lawsuit.' Williamson, 24, played at Duke for one season before the Pelicans selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He has spent six seasons as the team's star but has only logged 214 career games due to numerous injuries.
