'All positive' despite Gordon sitting out 'special day'
Craig Gordon said it is a "special day" he will "always remember" despite being unable to play more than a minute of his testimonial as his Heart of Midlothian side beat Sunderland 3-0. The 42-year-old Scotland goalkeeper is recovering from injury and stressed that the game against the club he left Hearts to join in 2007 does not mark the end of his career. "That's the reason I couldn't play more today," Gordon told Hearts TV. "The medical team just wouldn't allow it and I understand why. It was just too dangerous - too big a risk. "To play the one minute, I managed to complete my one pass to the dugout as I was instructed to and walk off with a clean sheet, it's all positive." Goals from Claudio Braga, Lawrence Shankland and Alexandros Kyziridis helped Gordon's mood further. "It was always going to be a special day for me and the boys made sure of it with a great performance and a great win," he said. "Walking out to that reception and that amount of fans in the stadium. I've never seen that for a testimonial at Hearts before. "So to be here and experience that will be something I'll always remember." Gordon joked that he could have played given how little the visitors did to trouble replacement Zander Clark. "As it turns out, I probably would have been okay to play as Zander wasn't called upon too many times," he added. "You never know going into a game how much you are going to be worked and they took the safety first approach, which I can totally understand." The friendly win comes after Hearts won their Premier Sports Cup group with four four-goal victories that have fans full of optimism as they prepare to start their Premiership campaign next weekend. "Three goals today - not quite the four we've been used to - but still a very good day's work against quality opposition," Gordon added. "Really pleasing for us to build that confidence going into next week against Aberdeen but also for the fans to get excited and to some of the new players and see what they can bring to the team as well."

Can Shedeur Sanders win the quarterback battle in Cleveland?
Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Matt Harmon and NFL writer Charles McDonald discuss the Cleveland Browns quarterback battle and why they feel like Shedeur Sanders is getting too much hype. Hear the full conversation on 'Football 301' - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript How can the Browns actually have a quarterback competition and get a look at all these guys, or is the answer just that they're not? They're not, they're just not. OK, maybe, maybe preseason games, that's probably going to be the most amount of reps that someone like Shado Sanders sees, and look, man, I mean, OK, did you see, did you see the new brown uniforms today? Yeah, those. Am I tripping, or was that black? Like, that didn't look brown to me. OK, it's not just that it's an all-brown uniform. They're sponsored by Dude Wipes. Like, come on, like, and that's what the Browns are serving to us with this quarterback competition. I have truly, truly been baffled at the amount of care that has gone into a 5th round rookie quarterback. Can we just deal with reality for a second? The reality of the situation: Shadoor Sanders, he's probably going to be out of a job by December, and I don't mean off the Browns roster. I mean eliminated from having the chance to be the long-term starting quarterback. Am I really supposed to get excited and hyped up about a 5th round quarterback who's on a rebuilding team that we know isn't good, that's rebuilding the offensive line, that's got 2 first-round picks for next year. I don't understand the fervor outside of just like Deion Sanders' worship, which he's not playing. It's not that interesting. Like, he's not a part of this anymore. It's just a 5th round rookie quarterback truly fighting for his NFL career and that's just not something that ever sticks in the NFL for teams that are trying to rebuild. They're just going to draft like Lenore Sellers or maybe Arch Manning next year. And that sucks to hear, but we have to stop talking about this as if it's a real thing because it's not. He's a 5th quarterback on a really bad team and he's not going to get a whole lot of practice reps because all the other quarterbacks that they invest more in are also new. If he was a 1st round pick, or even a 2nd round pick, I'll give it to you. I'm talking about a 5th round rookie quarterback who wasn't even the first quarterback that his team drafted in the goddamn draft. Stop, stop. Close
