Need to catch up with whats happening in the world of sports and pop culture? Dont worry, I got you.1. Pokemon Go: Love it or hate it? Ive avoided the craze, but this WNBA star is all-in.2. Per usual, the 2016 ESPYS didnt disappoint. I was most inspired by the unofficial theme of social change. NBA stars Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and LeBron James opened the program by speaking out against the recent tragedies that have gripped our nation. And WNBA rookie Breanna Stewart made a speech about gender equality in sports. Both had me fired up. What did you think of these athletes using the ESPYS as a platform to bring awareness to todays important issues??3.?Did you join me in sobbing like a baby while watching the ESPYS story of Zaevion Dobson, the recipient of the Arthur Ashe Courage Award? He sacrificed his life so others could live. Talk about a hero.4. What did you think of John Cena as the ESPYS host? I thought he rocked it! Kudos to the writers who have one of the most challenging jobs in showbiz.5. But where was the wild ESPYS fashion? Weve seen bolder looks before an Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Miami Heat game.6. First, Kobe Bryant retired -- and now Tim Duncan announced?his retirement. Some fans felt cheated by the timing of Duncans announcement because he didnt receive a farewell tour. While very deserving, are you really surprised he wanted to ride off into the sunset without much fanfare? Anything else wouldve been shocking and very unlike Duncan, to say the least.7. And speaking of players retiring, could Kevin Garnett be next?8.?NBA commissioner Adam Silver spoke out against super teams last week and suggested hes considering changes to the collective bargaining agreement in an effort to put a stop to them. Is death to super teams the right approach, or should players be allowed to move at will during free agency and play wherever theyd like, as long as the contract terms are fair??9. Could Blake Griffin be on the move? Hes popular in trade-talk circles, and Boston is rumored to be a landing spot for the Los Angeles Clippers forward, but his health remains a concern. But if a trade goes through, the East could be very interesting to watch next season.?10. After an epic final round at The Open, Phil Mickelson finished as a runner-up to Henrik Stenson. Its been 67 matches since Mickelsons last win, 10 of which included top-5 finishes. Because Mickelson has a history of coming up short, would you agree its fair to call him a choke artist?11.?Days after being praised for his thrilling performance at UFC 200, we find out that Brock Lesnar may have violated UFCs anti-doping policy. I hate to ask this question, but does any of this shock you?12. So, Victoria Azarenka is taking time off from tennis because shes pregnant? Yep. She announced the big news last week. Congrats to the mommy-to-be!13. How perfect is Katy Perrys Olympic anthem, Rise? I dare you to give it a listen and tell me you feel nothing.14. Who has a cooler job than these women? Certainly not I.?15. Can we officially declare this young Pittsburgh Pirates fan the winner of Sundays internet? This is me watching every Knicks and Jets game of my life, except it rarely has a happy ending.16. Since Tom Brady has agreed to accept his four-game suspension, that means weve heard the last of Deflategate,?right? Well, not so fast. Heres how it has the potential to linger on without Brady.17. And how about Brady reworking his contract to reduce his loses to $200,000 from about $2 million? Whether youre a Brady fan or not, you have to admit that was a brilliant move on his part.18. Is anyone surprised that the Denver Broncos finally came to terms with Von Miller and signed him to a monster contract? Nope. Me neither.19. Last nights return of Power and Ballers made my Monday-morning struggle worse than normal. But oh man, wasnt it worth it?20. And because Im still counting down, did you know were only 51 days away from the 2016 NFL regular season?Shana Renee is the founder and editor-in-chief of?All Sports Everything?and a passionate New York Jets, Knicks and Yankees fan.

Wholesale Fake Jerseys . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Fake Hockey Jerseys . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph has the talent, the numbers and the wins.Now, he has to step up as a leader.The 6-foot-5 junior is coming off one of the best seasons in Oklahoma State history. His completions, attempts and passing yards per game last season trailed only Brandon Weedens 2010 and 2011 seasons on the schools single-season lists. He posted those huge numbers, despite J.W. Walsh getting much of the action in the red zone and in short-yardage situations.Walshs presence loomed large last season. Instead of transferring when Rudolph was named the starter, Walsh stuck with the team, carved out a valuable niche and mentored Rudolph. With Walsh now a graduate assistant at TCU, Rudolphs biggest jump might need to go beyond the numbers.Ive been a leader as long as I can remember, Rudolph said. Theres no quiet quarterback, and you have to assert yourself. Its something my high school coaches instilled in me. You have to be the guy, the leader and the first guy in and the last guy out. Im excited to lead this team.The 21st-ranked Cowboys open the season Saturday against Southeastern Louisiana. By all indications, Rudolph has put in the work to win the team over.I think it is just an increase of overall fundamentals, Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. The mental side of it, the physical side of it -- hes done a nice job of getting work done, from film study to just fundamental work, individual instruction, understanding schemes, understanding defenses, just the whole picture. Hes done a nice job of improving himself overall.Walsh passed for 13 touchdowns and ran for 13 last season, mostly in the red zone and on short yardage. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy feels confident that Rudolph, a pro-style pocket passer, will be effective in those situations.Hes a good throwing quarterback inside the five-yard line,, Gundy said.dddddddddddd. Hes been pretty accurate. Well lean more toward those plays than trying to draw up something new, but he will get work because hell be the guy that gets it in practice.And just because Rudolph doesnt carry the dual-threat tag doesnt mean he cant move. He has excellent pocket presence, a quick release and an ability to manufacture time to throw. His strength and 235-pound frame make him difficult to bring down.Whatever these coaches want me to do, Ill do, Rudolph said. Im not as speedy as J.W. was, but Im just as strong and just as effective I think. Im looking forward to hanging out with these guys and utilizing all the weapons we have.Rudolph is a proven winner. He has a 12-3 career record as a starter. His freshman season, he led the Cowboys past Oklahoma in Norman, then helped Oklahoma State beat Washington in the Cactus Bowl. Last season, he helped the Cowboys open the season with a 10-0 record and climb to No. 4 in the AP poll.Against TCU last season, he passed for 352 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions on just 16 completions in a 49-29 win. In a loss to Baylor, he passed for 430 yards and three touchdowns. His career high of 437 yards came last season in a victory over Kansas State.Most of his receivers are back, including James Washington, a speedster who caught 53 passes for 1,087 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. With his combination of natural talent, skills and growing confidence, Rudolph is poised to be even better this season.Hes picking up the younger guys, even on days that were off, Washington said. Hell get the younger guys and us, and well go throw and get them ready for the season. Hes definitely picked up where he left off.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter (at)CliffBruntAP . ' ' '
