Sounders sign F Osaze De Rosario
May 8 - The Seattle Sounders signed forward Osaze De Rosario through 2025 on Thursday with club options for 2026 and 2027.
The 23-year-old Guyana international arrives from the Tacoma Defiance, where he leads MLS NEXT pro with eight goals through five matches. He also scored two goals in Tacoma's 2025 U.S. Open Cup run.
De Rosario has appeared in two matches for the Sounders on short-term loans.
"Osaze's path to the first team is another example of how our developmental system is designed to work," general manager and chief soccer officer Craig Waibel said. "Osaze has taken full advantage of his time with our staff with Defiance. He is currently performing at a high level and is showing the kind of professional growth we value. We believe he has the tools to continue to improve and to contribute in MLS. We're looking forward to seeing how he evolves within our environment."
De Rosario is the son of MLS and Canada legend Dwayne De Rosario, a four-time MLS Cup champion and 2011 MLS MVP who scored 104 goals with five teams.

Shaquille O'Neal to pay $1.8 million to settle FTX class action lawsuit
Former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal will pay $1.8 million to settle a class action lawsuit related to the demise of cryptocurrency exchange FTX. O'Neal, and other celebrities like Tom Brady and Stephen Curry, were named in the lawsuit in 2022. They had been accused of touting FTX as a reputable and trustworthy investment option via paid endorsements. The proposed settlement only pertains to O'Neal. Three years ago FTX was the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange, but it ended up with billions of dollars worth of losses and had to seek bankruptcy protection. The Bahamas-based company and its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, came under investigation by state and federal authorities for allegedly investing depositors funds in ventures without their approval. Before its failure, FTX was known to use high-profile Hollywood and sports celebrities to promote its products. It had the naming rights to a Formula One racing team as well as a sports arena in Miami. Its commercials featured 'Seinfeld' creator Larry David, as well as Brady, the former quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots, basketball players O'Neal and Curry, and tennis star Naomi Osaka. Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March 2024. A little more than a month after that, FTX said in a court filing that nearly all of its customers would receive the money back that they were owed. While the proposed settlement with O'Neal had been agreed to in April, the payment amount and other terms were disclosed in a filing with the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, Miami Division, earlier this week. The settlement class includes anyone who deposited funds into FTX or bought its FTT token between May 2019 and late 2022. The agreement, which still needs court approval, would provide O'Neal with a broad release from future claims and also includes a stipulation that he can't seek reimbursement from the FTX estate. The payment will be made within 30 days of the settlement being finalized, according to the filing.

Jon Jones breaks silence after Dana White claims he AGREED to Tom Aspinall fight to deliver message to ‘haters'
JON JONES has issued a message to his "haters" after Dana White's claim that he AGREED to fight Tom Aspinall. The UFC have been hard at work trying to finalise the mammoth heavyweight title unification fight, which has been on the cards since last November, between the pair. 5 5 5 5 White and Co. agreed to Jones' demands to be paid "f**k you money" for the fight but the former pound-for-pound king is now seriously leaning towards vacating his belt and retiring. Jones' recent hints came as a surprise to White, who said last weekend: " Jon Jones agreed to do the fight. "Jon Jones was offered the deal and accepted the deal. Jon agreed to fight Tom, yes." White's revelation has led to a barrage of MMA fans accusing Jones of trolling everyone with his social media activity. And he issued a message to his detractors after being branded the "best troll the sport has ever seen". He said: "I've never claimed to be the best but somehow, I keep ending up with my hand raised. "Jones haters [are] frustrated these days." UFC supremo White has been bullish about booking the biggest heavyweight fight in the promotion's near 32-year history. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 5 But like fight fans worldwide, the veteran promoter's confidence in the fight coming to fruition is seemingly starting to fade. During the UFC 316 post-fight press conference, he admitted: "Listen, you can't make people fight. Jon Jones Blasts UFC Rival Tom Aspinall In X-Rated Rant "If Jon doesn't want to fight, you can't make him fight. "We can try to make him fight, we can throw things at him that inspire him to want to fight. "But we'll figure it out." Jones hasn't fought since making his sole defence of the heavyweight title against Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 last November. Aspinall, meanwhile, has been on the sidelines waiting for his crack at the former 205lbs king since his 60-second demolition job of Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304 last July.

US Open live leaderboard, scores, round 2 analysis
A first bogey of the round for Scottie Scheffler, who seemed to avoid a possible twisted ankle here. He's even thru six today. Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. Tyrell Hatton is back to two over par, carding his first birdie of the day at the par-four 5th, and if that seems unremarkable, well it's not bad at all for Oakmont. Brooks Koepka, meanwhile, is back to within one of the lead after a birdie at 17, thanks to a lovely little chip from the side of the green after a supreme up and down. Could that be a key hole? Remember that long roll back down the green for Will Chandler? Well, if not, we have you covered. In any case, his struggles did not end there as he has posted a 12-over-par (!) front nine, dropping eight shots in the first three holes including a quadruple bogey at the 3rd. He's on 20 over. Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. Brooks Koepka drops back to his day-one score of two under par after bogey at the par-four 15th. He found the heavy rough off the tee and nearly rescued himself with the approach, with the roll down the slope being rather short. The 20-ft putt won't fall either and he's back to square one (in a sense). Scottie Scheffler's second at the 12th leaves him in the rough and with a very tough chip, but as he so often does he drags himself out of trouble and gets down in two to save par. Viktor Hovland, meanwhile, gets his second birdie in three holes to move to one under. No mean feat doing that on that 12th, as Justin Thomas found out earlier.

Rick Broadbent, Oakmont Interesting to hear Brooks Koepka say a 45-minute tongue-lashing from no-nonsense coach Pete Cowen helped him during his first round here. This method goes back a long way. After the WGC in Memphis in 2017 the Yorkshire veteran first took Koepka to task for the 'dog's dead' attitude and self-pitying shrugs. He sat him down in the practice area at the US Open at Erin Hills and told him he was embarrassing. Koepka duly won his first major and Cowen still has the signed flag inscribed with the message: 'Thanks for the bollocking.' An unremarkable tee shot at the 11th threatens to undo all that good work from the previous hole, but the world No1 manages to lay up and get up and down in two from about 120 yards. An ominous sign for his rivals. Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka is down at three under courtesy of another birdie, tapping in after an almost banana-esque roll on his putt at the par-5 12th. That puts him tied for second. No such luck for Justin Thomas though, with a double-bogey 7 on that same hole. He's nine over. Some updates. Here comes the world No1 and US PGA Championship winner, Scottie Scheffler. He started with an opening round of 73 but starts day two with a birdie, rolling in from about 20ft at the 10th. Viktor Hovland, meanwhile, is back at level par courtesy of a birdie from off the green. Rahm and Dustin Johnson have both bogeyed the 1st, the former slipping back to even overall.

Having conceded that bogey on the 10th he bounces back with a lovely putt on the next hole to restore that two-under deficit. No such luck for group-mate Justin Thomas though, whose putt rolls past the lip of the hole on his attempted par save. The Spaniard (-1), who tied for eighth at the US PGA Championship, tees off from the par-4 1st today, playing in a big-name group with Jordan Spieth (E) and Dustin Johnson (+5). That will be one to watch. Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. The American is starting at the par-4 10th hole and is now wielding the putter, but he's pushed it wide. That's a disappointing start after he birdied back-to-back holes yesterday to finish the round and now he drops back to one under. A rather extraordinary passage of play, not that Will Chandler will appreciate it. The American aims for the green — and indeed finds it, albeit a distance from the hole — but his ball rather hypnotically rolls all the way back. For 40 whole seconds. Ouch.

Among the early starters today are the trio of Min Woo Lee, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka, the latter starting the day two shots back from the lead on two under. His partners? Seven over and six over respectively, which gives you some idea of just how demanding it is at Oakmont. Rick Broadbent, Oakmont This US Open will not be pretty. The best players in the world are about to be humbled by a course that is breathtaking only in its difficulty. Indeed, Jeff Hall, part of the USGA's set-up team, said: 'The members seem to love going 15 rounds with Mike Tyson every day.' It may even be the toughest course in the world. Last Monday Rory McIlroy finished his scouting mission with two birdies for a round of 81. 'I didn't feel I played that badly,' he shrugged. Xander Schauffele, much fancied here for his psyche as well as his game, relishes that challenge and said: 'Maybe I'm just sick. I don't think people turn on the TV to watch guys hit a 200-yard shot on the green. I think they turn on the US Open to see a guy suffer and shoot eight over.' • Rick Broadbent: Oakmont — is this brutal US Open course the world's hardest? Rick Broadbent, Oakmont For a couple of hours, all the talk of Oakmont's terrors seemed overstated and this fantastic beast by the Allegheny River looked about as dangerous as a stuffed fish on a marble plinth. The tough reputation has been well earned, though, and by the end of the first day at a sun-baked US Open players were using words like bloodbath, and Rory McIlroy's promising start had been consumed by deep disappointment. After a bogey-free first nine, he dropped six shots, finished at four over par and was not in the mood to discuss it afterwards. Scottie Scheffler was just starting out on his own troubled path at that point and JJ Spaun was talking into a camera after setting the clubhouse pace with a round of 66. Spaun only convinced himself not to quit the game a year ago after watching the rom-com Wimbledon, about a jaded tennis player who wins the eponymous championship and gets the girl. He would settle for the trophy this week. • Rick Broadbent: Day one report Hello and a very warm welcome to day two of the US Open at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. One of the most challenging courses on the major's rotation, golf's stars had ample opportunity to explore every nook and cranny of Oakmont's thick rough and troublesome bunkers during the first round, and there will be plenty more of that to come today. Rick Broadbent will be on hand from the course to bring you the latest news and updates.
