NFL Insider: 'Blessing in disguise' Vikings missed out on Darnold, Jones
The Minnesota Vikings quarterback situation is a unique one that needed to be sorted out this past offseason. They came into it with both Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold being free agents while J.J. McCarthy continued to rehab from the torn meniscus he suffered last August. The team had been rumored to be discussing the idea of bringing back either Darnold or Jones, but they ultimately didn't, and now they are all in on McCarthy going forward. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer wrote as the Vikings training camp started that the veterans of the Vikings' 2024 quarterback group not returning may be a "blessing in disguise." The former top draft pick spent all offseason adding to his frame and sharpening his mind so that he would be ready to hit the ground running when his sophomore season started. Breer writes, ". . .It was a long rookie year, to the point where the Vikings offered deals to Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones to return. It may be a blessing in disguise that neither accepted. As a result, McCarthy has taken all of the first-team reps since the start of spring and has found his voice as a leader on the team." McCarthy dominated the talk on the first day of training camp with his ability to push the ball downfield. He most notably hit Jordan Addison on a 60-yard touchdown pass downfield that had social media buzzing after the team shared the play on social media. Seems the Vikings may be okay for now with the former National Championship-winning quarterback.

Paige Spiranac opens up about golf attire despite taking heat from fashion police
Paige Spiranac has gone toe-to-toe with critics on social media about everything from her golf swing to the way she markets herself, to the way she dresses on the course. She's not one for backing down. In an interview with People magazine, Spiranac again fired back at critics who want her to dress a certain way when she plays the game. "I just try to embrace who I am when I talk about that," she told the outlet. "My main message is always do what you want to do, wear what you want to wear. And for me, that's wearing things that are a little bit more sexy, more form-fitting, but also just finding your own individual style." Spiranac was a top golfer for San Diego State when she played in the Mountain West Conference. Instead of turning pro, she took a different route and has become one of the most-followed sports personalities on social media. She explained to Sports Illustrated a few years ago that she was a gymnast when she was younger and most of what she wore was form-fitting. When she decided to try her hand at golf, she explained she didn't have the luxury of buying golf attire, so she wore workout clothes. "And so I started wearing tank tops and leggings, and it just caused such an uproar of just people upset about no collar, and what I was wearing, and disrespecting the game, and also just exposing my body," Spiranac told People. "And I'm like, I'm an athlete and I like what I wear. I feel very comfortable with what I wear. And also, I don't want young girls to grow up feeling insecure about their body or everyone telling them, no, they should cover up. They should be proud of their body, especially with how much hard work they put into it when they're eating right and working out." In July 2023, she called out the "hypocrisy" of comments in a video showing two half-naked baseball players on the mound. She noted that the players weren't getting negative comments about what they were doing. "Interesting how different the reaction is online when men choose to show off their bodies," she wrote on X at the time. "Not one comment on this video calling them attention whores or sluts. Just a ton of women saying baseball is now their favorite sport but those same women harshly judge me. The hypocrisy lol." Spiranac is set to make a cameo appearance in "Happy Gilmore 2."

SI Mexico shared to Instagram: 'Our cover goes beyond beauty: it celebrates the strength and pride of being Mexican. @si_swimsuit arrives in Mexico and @salmahayek stars in the first edition for #SportsIllustratedMexico.' Salma is one of the few actresses to pose for the prestigious cover. 'It's so bizarre!' she told the publication. 'I'm nearly 60! At this stage, it wouldn't have crossed my mind. The first thing you get is - what is that word? - imposter syndrome. You have the imposter syndrome immediately.' She also appeared on the Today show with Savannah Guthrie where she said she could not 'believe' it. 'I remember when I was young and hot, I used to look at this magazine. 'I wanted to see who was the new gorgeous model, the new girl of the moment. And it never crossed my mind that I could be on that cover because they didn't look like me. 'My body's not necessarily the model type and I never thought that was a possibility. And for it to happen when I'm 58? It's really shocking.'
