Wimbledon is replacing line judges with electronic line-calling, the latest step into the modern age by the oldest Grand Slam tennis tournament. The All England Club announced that technology will be used to give the “out” and “fault” calls at the championships in 2025, eliminating the need for human officials to make them. Wimbledon organizers said the decision to adopt live electronic line-calling was made following extensive testing at the 2024 tournament and “builds on the existing ball-tracking and line-calling technology that has been in place for many years.” “We consider the technology to be sufficiently robust and the time is right to take this important step in seeking maximum accuracy in our officiating,” said Sally Bolton, chief executive of the All England Club. “For the players, it will offer them the same conditions they have played under at a number of other events on tour.”  The move makes the French Open the only Grand Slam tournament without some form of electronic line-calling. The Australian Open and U.S. Open already had eliminated line judges and only have chair umpires on court. Line judges at Wimbledon were dressed in famously elegant uniforms and, for traditionalists, were part of the furniture at the All England Club. Bolton said Wimbledon had a responsibility to "balance tradition and innovation." “Line umpires have played a central role in our officiating set-up at the championships for many decades,” she said, “and we recognize their valuable contribution and thank them for their commitment and service.” Line-calling technology has long been used at Wimbledon and other tennis tournaments to call whether serves are in or out. At the U.S. Open, there have been no line judges—and only chair umpires—since 2021, with Hawk-Eye Live electronic line-calling used for all courts. Bolton said the moves have been made to ensure the day of the finals “builds towards the crescendo of the ladies' and gentlemen's singles finals, with our champions being crowned in front of the largest possible worldwide audience.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Foster spent just one season as the Wildcats’ coach. The move was announced in a brief statement from athletic director Derrick Gragg. The Chicago Tribune and WSCR-AM reported this week that Foster led a toxic culture that prompted several assistant coaches to quit, and that his bullying and verbally abusive behavior prompted a human resources investigation by the university. Northwestern went 10-40 under Foster. Assistant Brian Anderson will take over as interim coach. NCAA – Legal headaches could just be starting at Northwestern, WVU with Fitzgerald The legal headaches could only be starting for ex-Northwestern football coach Pat Fitzgerald and West Virginia’s Bob Huggins. Fitzgerald was fired this week following hazing allegations in the program. He originally was suspended for two weeks before the school changed course. West Virginia considers Huggins to have resigned after a drunken-driving arrest last month. Huggins says he never formally stepped down and wants to keep coaching basketball. Industry experts are puzzled by what happened. Marty Greenberg is an attorney specializing in coaching contracts. He says if Fitzgerald and Huggins fight back, it would be in everyone’s best interests for a quick resolution. NCAAMBB – March Madness expansion discussed by NCAA committee but no deal imminent The NCAA Division I men’s basketball committee discussed possible expansion of March Madness at its meetings this week but said no moves were imminent to increase the field beyond the current 68 teams. Earlier this year, the NCAA Division I board of directors approved recommendations by the DI transformation committee that included allowing one quarter of teams in bigger sports to compete in championship events. That could mean expanding the fields in both men’s and women’s basketball up to 90 teams. There are many in the sport who believe the 68-team field and three weekends of play are ideal. In 2016, the NCAA signed an eight-year extension of its TV deal worth $8.8 billion and running through 2032.

A Scottsdale Police Department spokesperson said Thursday that Galchenyuk was arrested Sunday on charges of private property hit and run, disorderly conduct, failure to obey, resisting arrest and threatening or intimidating. The spokesperson said the hit and run was only property damage and no injuries occurred. Galchenyuk was booked into the Scottsdale city jail on misdemeanor charges and released the next day on his own recognizance.

This will be the third title match for Jabeur in the past five Grand Slam tournaments. She is 0-2 so far after losing to Elena Rybakina at the All England Club last July and to Iga Swiatek at the U.S. Open last September. Sabalenka came into the match with a 17-1 record at majors in 2023. Jabeur’s opponent for the championship will be Marketa Vondrousova. Vondrousova became the first unseeded women’s finalist at Wimbledon since Billie Jean King in 1963 by eliminating Elina Svitolina 6-3, 6-3. Golf – PGA Tour and Saudi wealth fund drop poaching clause from agreement The PGA Tour deal with Saudi Arabia’s wealth fund is dropping a clause in their agreement over poaching. That’s after the Justice Department raised antitrust concerns. The agreement is for the PGA Tour, European tour and Public Investment Fund to become partners. A clause in the framework agreement was that neither side would try to poach players from other tours. The tour said Thursday that it believes the clause is lawful. But it says it has removed it because the clause isn’t needed as they work together in negotiating the final deal. No more players are likely to join LIV this season.           Golf – McIlroy says he’d retire if LIV Golf was the only place to play Rory McIlroy is laughing off a Saudi-backed idea that he and Tiger Woods own LIV Golf teams. McIlroy says he would retire if LIV Golf was the only place left on earth to play though he’d still compete at the majors. Those are part of his first comments since the Senate hearing on the PGA Tour’s agreement to partner with Saudi Arabia’s national wealth fund. One of the documents Congress obtained contained a series of dreamy proposals for compromise. McIlroy has not hidden his disdain for the rival circuit funded by Saudi Arabia.

It's the All-Star break and Patrick and Seth take a look at everyone's favorite (or least hated) star-studded exhibition game. Patrick breaks down the Home Run Derby action and how the betting has grown on the event over the years. Shohei Ohtani continues to leave us speechless but the Los Angeles Angels have started to fade begging the question as to whether they'll be sellers at the trade deadline. If Ohtani leaves what's his most likely landing spot? And despite risk of injury or trade, did Bovada actually settle Ohtani early as the AL MVP winner? And as Wimbledon draws towards its conclusion Pat and Seth look at the tournament gameplay so far and the potential awkwardness for the All England Club if a Russian or Belarussian ultimately wins the major.

It may be quiet around these parts when it comes to sports, but I'll be sure to come across loud and clear with my thoughts, opinions and analysis on what's happening as the latest podcast is here. On deck: (2:44) Us fans are ready for an intriguing 'second half' of a baseball season that has had a lot of surprise teams thrust in the middle of a playoff chase. The next two and a half weeks will be telling as the trade deadline is on August 1st. Which means, what will teams like the Orioles, Rangers, Reds, Marlins and Diamondbacks do to bring reinforcements and make a push for a playoff berth in October. I'll also break down all of the division and wild card races in the AL & NL. Why does Tony Clark want to tweak the pitch clock come postseason time? I'll review my over/under win totals to see where I'm at with my predictions regarding six teams dating back to late March. (31:36) Are the San Antonio Spurs serious? Putting prized draft pick, Victor Wembanyama on the shelf for the rest of the summer league? I must voice my displeasure on that, as well as, Zion Williamson saying that he wants to be out there playing instead of sitting on the sidelines. Why didn't he have that same energy toward the end of the regular season when his team was battling for a play-in spot? (38:13) We're down to the final few days at Wimbledon as we're one match away from an epic men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Will it actually happen? On the women's side, heavily favored Iga Swiatek was upset earlier in the week by Elena Svitolina. Who'll come out of top and take home a title at the All England Club? (41:26) HBO must be salivating at the thought of bringing their camera crews to the New York Jets practice facility next month. Will this be compelling television? Or will this end up being a dud?

NBA – Kobe’s legacy in the NBA lives on in a new way. Two players bear his name There’s Kobe, wearing the uniform of a team from Los Angeles. There’s Kobe, the last one on the court at practice and getting yelled at because the buses are waiting for him. How fitting. Just like old times. Kobe Brown of the Los Angeles Clippers and Kobe Bufkin of the Atlanta Hawks know there will never be another Kobe Bryant. But his namesakes are about to enter the NBA, the first players with that name to do so since the late Hall of Famer. Bufkin was drafted No. 15 overall out of Michigan by the Hawks. Brown was selected No. 30 overall out of Missouri by the Clippers. NBA – Morant’s lawyers cite self-defense in pickup basketball lawsuit The future of a lawsuit accusing Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant of assaulting a teenager during a pickup basketball game hinges on whether Morant will be allowed to say that he was acting in self-defense and can receive immunity under Tennessee law. A judge on Wednesday allowed Morant’s lawyers to proceed with their case that Morant was acting in self-defense when he punched then-17-year-old Joshua Holloway during a game at Morant’s Memphis-area home in July 2022.

Court records show the inmate, identified as Shane McMillan, was previously convicted of assaulting a correctional officer at a federal penitentiary in Louisiana in 2006 and attempting to stab another inmate to death at the federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado in 2011. Messages seeking comment were left with lawyers who’ve represented McMillan in his past cases. Tennis – Chris Eubanks’ magical Wimbledon ends against Daniil Medvedev Daniil Medvedev has ended American Chris Eubanks’ surprising run at Wimbledon in the quarterfinals.

Panama reached the final for the third time after losing to the U.S. in 2005 and 2013. The U.S. failed to reach the final for the first time since a 2015 semifinal loss. Soccer – Messi mania engulfs Miami ahead of Argentine soccer superstar’s arrival A hamburger and drink combination called the Lionel Messi. A huge sketch of the soccer star’s smiling face on a restaurant wall beside a meme that went viral during the 2022 World Cup.

Golf – Schauffele and Spieth say PGA Tour Commissioner Monahan has to earn back trust PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is set to return to work next week. Xander Schauffele says there are tough questions for him to answer about the tour’s stunning commercial deal with the Saudis. And he believes Monahan has some trust to earn back from the players because of the secretive nature of the deal with the Saudi Arabia wealth fund behind LIV Golf. Schauffele says Monahan had his trust and now has a lot less of it. Jordan Spieth also said Monahan will have quite a bit of trust issues with players. Scottie Scheffler says he wishes player representatives were kept in the loop. NCAA – NCAA head: 175 sports-betting violations since 2018, 17 active investigations, The NCAA has found 175 infractions of its sports-betting policy since 2018, and there are 17 active investigations.

The NCAA says less than 0.25% of its approximately 13,000 sporting events are flagged for suspicious betting patterns and far fewer actually have "actionable information.” ESPN – ESPN’s Dick Vitale diagnosed with cancer for a 3rd time Longtime ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale says he has been diagnosed with cancer for a third time. Vitale tweeted Wednesday that he had surgery in Boston this week, and tests revealed that he has vocal cord cancer. He said he will undergo six weeks of radiation treatments. He says he will fight to be ready to call games when the college basketball season begins this fall. The 84-year-old Vitale has previously been treated for melanoma and lymphoma. Vitale has been with ESPN since 1979, the year the network launched. He’s also a longtime fundraiser for cancer research.

There is no hiding the euphoria generated by Messi in Miami as he begins the new Major League Soccer phase of his career in one of the most Latino cities in the United States. Golf – Schauffele and Spieth say PGA Tour Commissioner Monahan has to earn back trust PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan is set to return to work next week. Xander Schauffele says there are tough questions for him to answer about the tour’s stunning commercial deal with the Saudis. And he believes Monahan has some trust to earn back from the players because of the secretive nature of the deal with the Saudi Arabia wealth fund behind LIV Golf. Schauffele says Monahan had his trust and now has a lot less of it. Jordan Spieth also said Monahan will have quite a bit of trust issues with players. Scottie Scheffler says he wishes player representatives were kept in the loop. NCAA – NCAA head: 175 sports-betting violations since 2018, 17 active investigations, The NCAA has found 175 infractions of its sports-betting policy since 2018, and there are 17 active investigations. That is according to a letter from NCAA President Charlie Baker that was obtained by The Associated Press. The NCAA says less than 0.25% of its approximately 13,000 sporting events are flagged for suspicious betting patterns and far fewer actually have "actionable information.” ESPN – ESPN’s Dick Vitale diagnosed with cancer for a 3rd time Longtime ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale says he has been diagnosed with cancer for a third time.

He says he will fight to be ready to call games when the college basketball season begins this fall. The 84-year-old Vitale has previously been treated for melanoma and lymphoma. Vitale has been with ESPN since 1979, the year the network launched. He’s also a longtime fundraiser for cancer research.

A rather slow sports week isn't going to stop your favorite podcast host to babble about what little is happening in the universe of competition. On deck: (2:27) I share how this is one of the slowest sports periods that I've experienced since I've started the podcast five years ago. (4:54) After my little soliloquy on the current barren landscape, baseball is what's getting us through this early part of the summer. Have the Mets started to turn the corner? In what was their biggest win of the year last night, they've won four in a row and look to sweep the first place Arizona Diamondbacks tonight? What is the most important thing for them to do (win, of course) to keep these good vibes going? I'll also get into other series that have taken place this week (Orioles-Yankees, Cardinals-Marlins, Cubs-Brewers roof debacle) and some series that have some punch this weekend before the All-Star Break (Braves-Rays, Orioles-Twins, Mariners-Astros, Mets-Padres, Angels-Dodgers, to name a few). Plus, a big lift in the bullpen for the Texas Rangers (acquiring reliever Aroldis Chapman from the Royals) and the Yankees will have to look for another reliever themselves as Jimmy Cordero has been suspended for the rest of the year due to violating the domestic violence policy. (26:01) The NBA free agency period has come to a screeching halt as we await where James Harden and Damian Lillard will end up. Grant Williams is part of a sign and trade from Boston to Dallas with San Antonio involved. But the Association is about to unveil a plan to have an in-season tournament, which from the surface, comes across as unclear and confusing. (31:27 ) There isn't much, if anything, going on in the NHL. Training camps in the NFL kick off in less than three weeks, but there's nothing to dissect at the moment. Wimbledon is a few days into its tournament. Not a lot of buzz has come out of the All England Club, unless you're Coco Gauff, who was bounced earlier in the week. Other than that, everything has been chalk as there have been no major upsets or developments out in London.

It's a tough day for the Halos, a happy return for a Reds hurler and the men's top seed and women's defending champ prevail at All-England Club. Correspondent Bruce Morton reports.

If it's early July, you know it's warm weather, cookouts and celebrating another holiday as I flex my independence as a producer and host of your favorite little podcast with all of the latest in the world of sports. On deck: (3:03) As of this moment, there is no question that the best team in baseball from top to bottom are the Atlanta Braves. I'll explain in great detail as to why, even over organizations like the Tampa Bay Rays, Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros. I'll get into some of the key series that played out over the weekend (Marlins-Braves, Red Sox-Blue Jays, & Astros-Rangers, to name a few.) and peek at the series over the course of the Independence Day holiday. (28:14) Free agency has begun in the both the NBA & NHL. First up, the Association. Not a lot of drama or intrigue with players changing addresses. In fact, quite a few players have stood pat with the teams they finished with last season (i.e. Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, Draymond Green, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Kyle Kuzma, Austin Reaves) among many others. The two big questions are where does James Harden end up as his departure from Philadelphia is forthcoming? And is there a destination for a one Damian Lillard (i.e. Miami, maybe?)considering his enormous contract and getting their worth for the perennial All-Star from Portland? (42:22) As for what's transpired off the ice, there has been plenty of wheeling and dealing in the NHL, but to me, nothing to write home about. I'll get into what has taken place as of this point. How much I love the few tough guys in the sport (i.e. Milan Lucic, Ryan Reaves & Pat Maroon) getting free agent deals or in Maroon's case a trade? Plus, the Islanders re-up on goaltenders Ilya Sorokin, Semyon Varlamov & Scott Mayfield. Did these signings make them a lot better? (47:53) Wimbledon has begun at the All England Club as the third major tennis tournament of the year has arrived. What will transpire on the women's side? Will Iga Swiatek continue her dominance? Will we have a better rematch between Carlos Alcarez-Novak Djokovic, but this time in a Final? (54:47) The NFL has cracked down on a few players violating the leagues gambling policy. I'll share my thoughts on that. Plus, NFL fans rejoice. Training camps open up throughout the sport in a little over three weeks as I can certainly wait for another NFL season to commence.
