What’s to like? Colts: Daniel Jones
The deal: one year, millionHe’s definitely a guy who plays quarterback. That’s … good?Giants: Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston
The deals: For Wilson: one year, million (.5 million guaranteed). For Winston: two years, million
What’s to like? What’s not to like? During Jones’ rookie season with the Giants, there were points when he was playing quarterback fairly well. And the Colts, who have struggled to develop Anthony Richardson, might find they need a quarterback who can play fairly well. And Jones’ price reflects that he’s right on the cusp of starting.During Jones’ rookie season with the Giants, there were points when he was playing quarterback fairly well. And the Colts, who have struggled to develop Anthony Richardson, might find they need a quarterback who can play fairly well. And Jones’ price reflects that he’s right on the cusp of starting.What’s to like? Once Rodgers finds his home for 2025, it might leave a team desperate enough to trade for Kirk Cousins. Maybe that’s the Cleveland Browns, who had met with Wilson. The Tennessee Titans will draft a quarterback (*cough* Cam Ward *cough*). And the game will be over. The missing pieces will likely be Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart, a pair of likely first-round picks who will compete but not necessarily win starting jobs somewhere.It’s a matter of time before we see the final pieces fall into place. In the meantime, let’s dive into the QB carousel, breaking down each move.Jones will compete for the starting job. Ballard has made that clear. Given what we’ve seen from Richardson, it’s distinctly possible that coach Shane Steichen picks Jones. I’ll admit my bias: I want Richardson to succeed. I think the Colts have enormously bungled his development. But this isn’t the type of league where coaches and GMs do what’s fair. It’s about the bottom line: Who’s the best QB for Week 1? Jones might be that guy. And if he is, he’ll have a vanilla year, probably completing 65% of his throws for 3,300 yards, 25 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Hopefully, the Jets pick up where the Steelers left off. Fields doesn’t necessarily need a great offensive line, though it would help. He doesn’t even really need an offensive chock-full of weapons, though again it would help. He needs his first or second read to get open, and then he needs space to make plays with his legs. That’s where this offense should start: Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall (in both the rushing and passing game). Fields can be decisive in that kind of offense. And then — who knows? — hopefully they can build from there. Look, let’s just get it out there … the Jets are the Jets. They can’t have nice things.

Handsworth students topped the podium in the senior men’s 4×400 relay and pole vault
A pack of North Shore student athletes were stepping onto the podium at track and field provincials.
At the 2025 BC High School Track and Field Championship, running June 6-7 in Langley, hundreds of B.C. youth competed through a long list of classic sporting events.
Among them was pole vault star William Millard of Handsworth Secondary, who placed first in the event with a vault of 4.4 metres. It was a back-to-back victory, as he also won the event at provincials in 2024.
After vaulting to second place at trials on June 1 in Coquitlam, the Grade 12 athlete plans to attend the Canada Summer Games in August. Millard is also a member of the NorWesters Track and Field Club.
Also grabbing gold was Handsworth’s senior men 4×400-metre relay team with a time of three minutes 23.12 seconds. On the roster was Spencer Medland, Quinn Tveit-Borgenstrom, Michael Caddick and Garrett Chin.
On his own, Tveit-Borgenstrom won bronze in the 800-m run (1:55.66).
From Sutherland Secondary, Rory O’Brien picked up two bronze medals – in the senior women’s 1,500-m run (4:36.31) and the 800-m run (2:15.18).
Rockridge’s Ciel Fitzpatrick scored two silver medals – in the junior women’s 1,500-m run (4:36) and the 800 m (2:14.2)
In the junior men’s 700-gram javelin throw, Seycove’s Jonah Louie took silver (48.95 m).
Handsworth’s junior men’s 4×400-m relay team ran to bronze medals (3:36.22). On that team was Ethan Lam Di-lorio, Trey Adelaar, Akiva Turner and Chace Chin.
From Collingwood, Elizabeth Chibebe-Gough soared to gold in the Grade 8 women’s high jump (1.55 m).
Alexandre Comeau of Handsworth won silver in the Grade 8 men’s 3000-m run (9:45.28).
And Emily Ganden of Sutherland got bronze in the Grade 8 women’s 1500 m (5:01.11).

NORMAN – Oklahoma track and field throws athlete Ralford Mullings was named the USTFCCCA Division I National Men’s Field Athlete of the Year and head coach James Thomas and associate head coach Jerel Langley, along with heptathlete Pippi Lotta Enok, picked up USTFCCCA Midwest Regional awards. The coaches association announced Thomas was awarded Men’s Coach […]
Mullings, who hails from Kingston, Jamaica, claimed the NCAA Outdoor Championships discus throw title on June 14. He tossed the implement for a PR of 69.31m (227’3.00″) to shatter a 33-year-old meet record and beat world record holder Mykolas Alekna of California. Mullings’ improvement cements his status as the No. 2 performer in collegiate history as the 69.31m (227’3.00″) mark sits ninth on the all-time collegiate chart. He was also the SEC Outdoor Championships discus throw title winner. Mullings is the first NCAA discus champion to win the national award since Ryan Whiting in 2010 and becomes the first Sooner in program history to be named national athlete of the year.
This marks Thomas’ second regional coach of the year accolade in as many seasons at the helm of OU T&F. During his time at Georgia (2021-23) and Texas Tech (2013-21) he earned 11 Regional Assistant Coach of the Year honors. Langley, in his ninth year at OU, collects his third regional assistant coach of the year award and second of the 2025 season, as he also earned the indoor nod. Enok and Mullings claim the first regional accolades of their career.
Thomas directed the Sooner men to a sixth-place finish (30.5 points) at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, the team’s best outdoor placement since 1997 and second highest in program history. He guided two men to national titles, BJ Green (triple jump) and Ralford Mullings (discus throw) and two more athletes to top-six finishes to total four NCAA First Team All-America honors.
Langley coached Enok to the second heptathlon national title of her career, with her performance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships setting a program record of 6,285 points, breaking the Estonian record and moving to No. 10 all-time collegiately. He also assisted Olivia Lueking to her fifth conference title, winning the gold medal at the SEC Outdoor Championships in the pole vault.
Enok’s exceptional performance in the combined events on the national stage earned her the regional award. The Jõhvi, Estonia, native marked the end of her collegiate career with the No. 7 all-time heptathlon score in NCAA Outdoor Championships meet history.

The future of Kenyan athletics is in safe hands.
That was the bold message at Afraha Stadium where junior stars dazzled during the National Under-18 and Under-20 Trials.
From South Rift to Nyanza, Central and beyond, junior athletes showcased raw talent and promise, a result of years of structured training and strategic planning.
Athletics Kenya (AK) Youth Development Director Barnaba Korir said the performances at the Afraha Stadium trials are proof that the federation’s nationwide programmes are working.
“What we’re seeing is not by chance. It’s the result of deliberate, consistent investment in young people,” noted Korir.
“Our holiday camps, school partnerships and regional camps are allowing our youth to dream and succeed.”
Barnaba commended all regions for producing top performers but highlighted South Rift’s leading role, describing it as a key pillar in AK’s development model.
“This region continues to lead in both numbers and structure. South Rift has nine active camps, the most in any region, and remains a cornerstone of our efforts,” said Korir.
Reflecting on his own experience as an athlete in the same region in 1983 before receiving a US scholarship, Korir noted how far youth athletics have come.
“Back then, we didn’t have the kind of support our athletes enjoy today. Now, with better coaching, facilities, and access to education, we are shaping not just great athletes, but great people,” he added.
Korir also emphasised the importance of holistic development and went ahead to credit AK’s school-based holiday training camps for combining academics with athletics, a model that prepares athletes for life beyond the track.
“Our vision is to raise disciplined, educated, and focused athletes who can represent Kenya with pride.”
In 2024, Korir said AK’s collaboration with the Ministry of Sports and the Ministry of Education has enabled a smoother transition for young athletes from school into competitive sport.
With the expected completion of renovations at Afraha Stadium, Korir promised that more national events will be held in such upgraded venues to inspire and reach more talent at the grassroots level.
Similarly, Korir reaffirmed AK’s commitment to integrity and clean athletics warning, “We are capturing accurate biodata from a young age to curb age cheating and doping. No one should mislead our youth with shortcuts. The future of athletics must be clean, honest, and athlete-centred.”
He reiterated that the government-supported U-20 training camps remain a crucial part of AK’s long-term plan.
“These camps allow us to walk with the athlete through every step. They are central to our development strategy.”
Concluding his remarks, Korir expressed optimism and national pride stating that across Kenya “we are seeing brilliance emerge. These young athletes are the heartbeat of our future, and we have to guide them every step of the way”.

The past few months have been incredible for Western Dubuque High School sensation Quentin Nauman.
Along with capturing four state championships earlier this year, Nauman won the HOKA Festival of Miles in St. Louis. But over the weekend, Nauman won perhaps his biggest race of the year.
Running on his future track at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon, Nauman won the mile at the Nike Outdoor Nationals/USA Track and Field U20 Championships.
The senior-to-be clocked a time of 4:00.52 to win by just .01 second over Evan Noonan running for the Nike Elite Club. Nauman, a 17-year-old, was also ninth in the 800 at the meet, which features the best athletes in the country.
Nauman won gold at the Iowa high school state track and field championships in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200, along with running on the winning distance medley relay. He swept the four races as a sophomore and is also a multi-time Drake Relays champion.
Nauman has already committed to run at Oregon when he exhausts his high school eligibility.

Parkway Central Colts freshman Arhan Meka finished fifth in his first state boys tennis tournament.
Coach Lee Hayes was happy to have Meka join his program.
“I had heard of him through the kids on the team and some teaching pros,” Hays said. “He was young and impressive as a player.”
Meka went 17-2 in the regular season and in districts. His only two losses were to Eureka senior and Class 3 state singles runner-up and Webster Groves’ Paul Castleman, the Class 2 singles runner-up.
In the Class quarterfinals, Meka lost 6-2, 6-2 to Castleman.
“Castleman really wanted the match,” Hays said. “He raised his level and played exceptionally well against Arhan.”
Meka then rebounded with three wins to finish fifth. Meka defeated Noah Blum, of Warrensburg, 6-1, 7-5 to finish in fifth place.
His strong effort at state impressed Hays.
“He is not a quitter,” Hays said. “Though disappointed, he finished strong. To be 14 and be this solid of a player, he will be fun to watch. If he stays with it and is healthy, he will be a player we will all enjoy watching.”
