Baker Mayfield has to prove he's better than Sam Darnold to start for Carolina Panthers
After months of on-again, off-again negotiations, quarterback Baker Mayfield is now a member of the Carolina Panthers after they sent the Cleveland Browns a 2024 conditional draft pick for him in Wednesday's trade. But does adding Mayfield make the Panthers a playoff team in 2022? Mayfield also will have to prove himself to first-year Panthers offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, who, in a 2018 New York Post story, rated Mayfield sixth among the top quarterbacks in the draft. If it works out, and the 27-year-old Mayfield is successful, Carolina could have the long-term solution at quarterback it has been looking for since coach Matt Rhule took over the team in 2020. If it doesn’t, Carolina will be back in the quarterback market – and possibly head coaching market in 2023.

Roger Federer drops out of tennis ATP ranking for the first time in 25 years; Djokovic, Kyrgios fall with no points awarded for Wimbledon
Federer had appeared in the singles rankings every week since he made his debut at age 16 in September 1997, tied for 803rd, and held the record for most time at No. 1 until Djokovic broke it.
Djokovic's drop and that of runner-up Nick Kyrgios from No. 40 to No. 45, despite reaching the first Grand Slam final of his career, are a result of the decisions by the WTA and ATP to not award any ranking points for Wimbledon in response to the All England Club's ban on athletes from Russia and Belarus over the war in Ukraine.

Tiger Woods misses cut after finishing the second round of the Open Championship 3 over
As Tiger Woods started his walk down the 18th fairway of the Old Course at St. Andrews on Friday, he noticed that his caddie, Joe LaCava, and playing partners, Matt Fitzpatrick and Max Homa, had stopped behind him. The trio were waiting for Woods, a three-time Open winner, to cross the famous Swilcan Bridge. As Woods slowly walked across the iconic stone landmark at the "home of golf," Woods, a 15-time major champion, even wiped away a few tears before reaching the 18th green. Woods, a three-time winner of The Open, including in 2000 and 2005 at St. Andrews, won't be around for the 150th anniversary celebration this weekend. He carded a 3-over 75 in the second round, and his 36-hole total of 9 over was well behind the leaders.
