Expansion San Diego FC take aim at surging Nashville SC
(Photo credit: Scott Wachter-Imagn Images) San Diego FC and Nashville SC both have three All-Stars and are among the best teams in MLS. The two squads will meet Friday night in San Diego. Expansion San Diego FC (13-7-4, 43 points) have been among the league's biggest surprises, leading the Western Conference. Nashville (14-5-5, 47 points) has thrived in B.J. Callaghan's first full season as coach. His club is 10-1-4 over its past 15 MLS matches and is tied for second place in the Eastern Conference with the Philadelphia Union and sits one point behind leader FC Cincinnati. 'For us, it's the strive for consistency,' Callaghan said Wednesday. 'Our objective from the beginning of the season was to establish our culture, establish our style of play and earn our way into the playoffs.' San Diego has hit a dip in July with a 1-2-1 record, including 0-2-1 at home. The club played Vancouver to a 1-1 home draw last Saturday to remain one point ahead of the Whitecaps in the West. San Diego features big-time offensive forces in All-Stars Anders Dreyer (11 goals, league-high 15 assists) and Chucky Lozano (six goals, eight assists). Midfielder Jeppe Tverskov (one goal, eight assists) is the team's other All-Star. 'Everyone can see their quality,' Tverskov said of Dreyer and Lozano. 'Luckily for us as a team, they're also good team players, and that's the big part of how we want to play. If we had two guys who just stood up there and waited for us to defend, and then got the balls and scored goals, I didn't think we would work as good as we have been.' San Diego ranks second in the league in goals (47) behind Inter Miami (49). Nashville's Sam Surridge scored on a header during Wednesday's All-Star Game, when the MLS All-Stars recorded a 3-1 victory over the LIGA MX All-Stars in Austin, Texas. Surridge is tied with Inter Miami's Lionel Messi for the league lead of 18 goals. Fellow All-Star Hany Mukhtar has 11 goals and eight assists as the duo has combined for 29 of Nashville's 42 goals. Nashville's other All-Star is defender Andy Najar (one goal, 10 assists). Nashville is coming off back-to-back shutout wins, but Callaghan is wary of San Diego FC. 'You see a very consistent team that plays with a very clear identity week-in and week-out,' Callaghan said of San Diego. 'It's really impressive. I'm not surprised they're having success. It's going to be a difficult match going to the West Coast.'

Nashville's East Bank design partners tapped for construction. Here's when it starts
More key members of the team tasked with bringing the East Bank development to life have been selected, and a construction timeline is emerging. The Fallon Company announced it will work with architecture firms HKS, Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, Gresham Smith and Morris Adjmi Architects on the hotel, residential building and accompanying retail that will be included in the first phase of East Bank development surrounding Nissan Stadium. Construction on these first projects is projected to begin in 2026, according to a news release. 'This group of architects and designers represents the best of both Nashville and national talent,' said The Fallon Company's CEO Michael Fallon, in the release. 'Our collective vision will shape an inclusive and vibrant neighborhood that reflects the energy and aspirations of Nashville's East Bank.' The Fallon Company is the master developer for about 30 acres of East Bank land owned by Metro Nashville, primarily in the area surrounding Nissan Stadium, which is currently occupied by parking lots. The first parcel to be developed on Metro-owned East Bank land is known as Parcel C, located between the new Nissan Stadium and Shelby Avenue. The hotel planned for Parcel C1 will be designed by HKS in collaboration with Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, based in Austin. HKS Global Practice Director for Commercial and Mixed Use Mark Buskuhl said his firm is pleased to partner with The Fallon Company. 'Our firm is proud to be partnering with The Fallon Company for the Phase 1 master planning of this landmark development as well as the design of its flagship hotel,' Buskuhl said in the release. 'This site presents a rare opportunity to create a vibrant, active and connected neighborhood from the ground up — one that blends hospitality, community, and design in meaningful ways." The design for Parcel C2, which will include a multifamily residential building, will be spearheaded by Gresham Smith in collaboration with Morris Adjmi Architects, based in New York. 'We're thrilled to serve on Fallon's design team alongside Morris Adjmi to help bring the first phase of the East Bank vision to life,' Gresham Smith Principal Brandon Bell said in the release. 'As a local firm that's called Nashville home for more than 50 years, we're honored to play a role in a transformational project that will shape the future of our city.' The news comes weeks after the Boston-based East Bank master developer announced it would partner with Elmington Capital Group on the affordable housing components of the East Bank development.

Tennessee Titans signing veteran LB Jihad Ward
Just two days after the Tennessee Titans announced that veteran edge rusher Lorenzo Carter had decided to hang up his cleats, the team moved to add some edge depth to the roster by signing veteran outside linebacker Jihad Ward. NFL insider Jordan Schultz was the first to report the news. At 6-foot-5, 285 pounds, Ward fits the mold of what the Titans are looking for in their edge players in their revamped unit and should come in and compete for a rotational spot. The nine-year veteran has been a steady contributor for multiple teams since joining the league as a second-round pick of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2016. Ward spent 2024 as a rotational edge for the Minnesota Vikings, playing in all 17 games, recording 10 tackles, 14 quarterback hits, and one sack for the defense while adding some special-teams value. The Titans will become Ward's seventh team since entering the NFL. Over his career, he has recorded 168 tackles, 19.0 sacks, 73 quarterback hits, eight passes defensed, and three forced fumbles with six different franchises. The big-bodied edge will join Dre'Mont Jones, Arden Key, Jaylen Harrell, Ali Gaye, and rookie Femi Oladejo in the Titans' new-look edge unit. To make room for Ward, the Titans released defensive tackle Keondre Coburn. Ward should be in Nashville and join the team when they take the field for their second training camp practice on July 24.

Jessica Simpson is 'ready' to date again
Jessica Simpson is "ready" to get back into the dating scene. In January, the I Wanna Love You Forever singer and retired NFL player Eric Johnson announced they had separated after a decade of marriage. The former couple shares daughters Maxwell, 13, and Birdie, six, and 12-year-old son Ace. During an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends on Wednesday, Jessica revealed it has "been almost two years" since she and Eric broke up. Co-host Jenna Bush Hager asked the popstar whether she was interested in dating again, and while Jessica is "slightly terrified", she is "very into" the idea. "I'm ready. It's on," she declared. And when asked about the type of person she's looking for, Jessica insisted they must be "one of a kind". "I don't have a look or anything like that," the 45-year-old explained. "I just like for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego. It's hard to find, but I feel like it's out there." Jessica is currently promoting her eighth studio album, Nashville Canyon, Part 1. The second instalment is set to drop in September. Reflecting on recording the project, the popstar shared that the tone of the project changed as a result of what was going on in her personal life at the time. "I thought I was going to be doing this inspirational type of record and it ended up leaning more towards, 'How do I get through this moment because my whole life just completely changed while making this record?' and it became something I never would have expected," she noted. "But there's blessings in the pain. You can find beauty in the pain."
