'I was always going to go with my gut'
Coventry City goalkeeper Carl Rushworth says it was a gut decision to join the Sky Blues after speaking with boss Frank Lampard and midfielder Matt Grimes. Rushworth, who joined Coventry on loan from Brighton on Thursday, previously played with Grimes during their time together at Swansea City during the 2023-24 season. "[Lampard] is putting all the ownership into my hands," Rushworth told BBC Radio CWR. "It's not like he would like me to play out, he's not saying we are stuck in those ways. He believes in me to play what I see and I have the backing from him. "Along with speaking with [Matt] Grimesy and having a non-biased opinion about how much he was loving this club and loving his time here. I was always going to go with my gut." It's not just talk that drew Rushworth's attention, it's also the possibility of adding a promotion to his CV with usual Sky Blues number one Oliver Dovin likely to be ruled out for the start of the season. "The plan is just to compete and try and play as many games as possible and look to get promoted," the keeper added. "That's something that is very exciting for me to think about and it's actually very realistic as well." Listen to the full interview with Carl Rushworth and more on BBC Sounds.

D.C. pizza chain offered 30 pizzas over 30 days for $39.99. We had questions.
Word of the promotion floated across our consciousness earlier this month. Local chain &pizza was offering customers one pizza a day for 30 days for $39.99. We had questions. Namely: Whaaa?? Also: Why? And: Who is over there living out every kid's culinary fantasy? We let those great mysteries stand until this week, when reports of pie-related chaos bubbled up on Reddit. 'Unfortunately, they are completely unprepared for the volume of orders,' one pizza lover reported. 'The overwhelmed workers are screaming at their customers that there is a 1 hour wait.'

Captain Carlson guides Glamorgan to win over Kent
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff (day four) Kent 155 & 360: Finch 68, Stewart 63; Carlson 3-24 Glamorgan 327 & 189-5 Carlson 89*, Root 30; Parkinson 4-82 Glamorgan (21 pts) beat Kent (3 pts) by five wickets Match scorecard Glamorgan boosted their bid for promotion as they beat Kent by five wickets to climb to second place in County Championship Division Two. With the Welsh side set 189 to win and resuming on 25-2, a tense final day was in prospect at Sophia Gardens, particularly when nightwatchman James Harris fell to Matt Parkinson. But captain Kiran Carlson steadied Glamorgan with a fluent unbeaten 89, playing some punchy shots to lift his team's run rate and turn what could have been a tricky chase into a comfortable stroll to victory. Carlson was well supported by Billy Root, who was stumped off Parkinson's bowling for a swift 30, while Colin Ingram chipped in with a similarly brisk 27. Ingram was out lbw to Parkinson, who picked up four second-innings wickets to go with his four from the first, in the first ball after lunch. Ben Kellaway then joined Carlson at the crease, and it was the Glamorgan skipper who hit the winning runs in the south Wales sunshine. Glamorgan's fourth County Championship win of the season lifts them from third to second in the Division Two table, overtaking Derbyshire, who are set to lose at home to leaders Leicestershire.
