Quotes & moments
Wyndham Clark became a two-time US Open champion by winning at Shinnecock Hills, joining Tiger Woods (3), Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, and Retief Goosen as multi-time winners since 2000.
The Washington Wizards signed Trae Young to a 4-year, $212 million contract, drawing instant criticism as one of the worst deals in the NBA.
LeBron James informed the Lakers he would not return, opting out to become a free agent, with Golden State and Cleveland as top rumored destinations.
Joey Chestnut won the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest for the 18th time out of 19 attempts, eating 66 hot dogs in 92-degree heat at Coney Island.
Lionel Messi scored in his 7th consecutive World Cup game during the 2026 group stage, continuing his historic tournament run.
DraftKings Sportsbook had the Philadelphia 76ers at 100-to-1 — the worst odds in the NBA — to acquire Jaylen Brown before the trade happened.
Team USA ran more miles than any other country in the 2026 World Cup group stage, reflecting coach Poach's swarming defensive system.
For what PFT believes is the first time ever, the US Men's National Team entered a World Cup knockout round as heavy favorites, listed at -700 to advance against Bosnia.
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's wedding at Madison Square Garden had approximately 1,000 guests, with Adam Sandler serving as officiant.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce donated $26 million to local charities in connection with their MSG wedding.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat, with Tyler Herro as the centerpiece of the return package.
Brazil has lost in the last 6 World Cups to France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Croatia, and Norway, with their last title game appearance in 2002.
The USMNT beat Australia 2-0 in Seattle, and the hosts believe it marks the first time the US has won two consecutive World Cup games.
Multiple analysts have called Paul George's contract the worst in the NBA, meaning the Sixers essentially received Jaylen Brown for free after absorbing that deal.
Jamal Musiala scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years 11 months wearing number 19 — exactly matching Lionel Messi's first World Cup goal stats in 2006.
Wyndham Clark hit a towering wood shot to eagle the par-5 16th on Saturday at Shinnecock — and Max Homa says almost no one on tour has the clubhead speed to even attempt it. The obscene height combined with a soft landing on a tabletop green is what separated this shot from everything else that week.
George Kittle is 21 weeks out from Achilles surgery and running over 16 miles per hour in cleats on the field. He's doing single-leg box jumps, cutting again — and his trainers keep telling him to simmer down.
Over 92 tight ends signed up for Tight End University 2025 — the most ever — with Tony Gonzalez attending for the first time. The event also features an open stadium with free tickets, Brock Purdy throwing passes, and Dana Beers promising to shotgun 10 beers on stage.
The USMNT beat Australia 2-0 in Seattle without Christian Pulisic and the Pardon My Take crew is declaring them the best in the world. Big Cat and PFT make the case for why the World Cup bracket could set up a deep run — possibly to the semifinals.
George Kittle kept his mouth shut his entire first NFL season — learned everything he could — and only let his personality out once he'd proven himself. His coaching: no rookie should be known as the funny guy or the one with the cool car. Be known only for how you play.
George Kittle won't give away the trade situation, but he'll tell you this: he watched Brandon Aiyuk running over 22 miles per hour and stopping instantly in early morning practice about 8 months ago. The talent is still there.
Kevin Durant claims he joined the Golden State Warriors — the team that had just gone to back-to-back Finals and won 73 games — because he saw them as a losing franchise historically. The hosts call it the mental gymnastics of the century.
Fans at Shinnecock booed Wyndham Clark's every shot and cheered his misses — a level of hostility rarely seen at a US Open. The hosts break down the three strikes against him: smashing lockers at Oakmont, destroying a T-Mobile sign, and making a birth control joke at the Masters Par 3 tournament.
Memes attended the Knicks championship parade, estimated the crowd at 4 million (double the reported number), stood next to Mike Brown at the speeches, and ended up at Stone Street with a group of AWLs. Everyone greeted each other as 'champion.'
Green speed at a US Open can shift day to day based on wind and course conditions — and even the best professionals can be rattled by that unpredictability. Max Homa explains why pros, who are conditioned to perfectly manicured surfaces, become almost gun-shy when the speed changes mid-tournament.
George Kittle can't wait to retire and coach a hard-nosed high school football team in Nashville, Tennessee. He wants to run 2 and 3 tight end sets, outside zone, and gap schemes — and instill grit and effort into teenagers. Don't expect the Wing-T.
In 2006, Lionel Messi scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years, 11 months, wearing number 19. In 2026, Jamal Musiala scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years, 11 months, wearing number 19. And Messi once posed with Musiala as a baby in a charity calendar photo shoot.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading to Miami, and Big Cat argues the Bucks waited a year too long — costing them a better return. The Heat get Giannis and Bam together, a terrifying defensive front court, but an open question of who shoots the ball. Jimmy Haslam's reported reasoning for rejecting Jaylen Brown — not wanting another Giannis situation — adds a fascinating layer.
PFT Commenter goes all-in defending the Washington Wizards' 4-year, $212 million signing of Trae Young, dismissing critics — including ESPN's Brian Windhorst — as suffering from 'Wiz Derangement Syndrome.' He cites Trae's historic assist numbers (3rd all-time, behind only Magic and Stockton) and argues the Bradley Beal comparison is wrong because that deal had a no-trade clause.
The inaugural Mount Rushmore season kicks off with deli meats. Three teams — Big Cat & the Booth Boys, Hank & Zach, and PFT solo — snake-draft their four picks. The selections spark a heated debate about whether turkey is actually edible on its own and whether roast beef deserves a spot.
