I wish this had never happened. I wish this media circus was not happening right now." Simpson says in his summary statement to the parole board. Simpson is then told the 1995 acquittal for the Brentwood murders and the 33.5 Million dollar judgment against Simpson in the Goldman civil suit will not be considered in this case. Simpson nods with both affirmation and relief.

Brooks Koepka shot his seventh straight under par round in a major with a 65 in the first round of The Open. It was his first competitive round since winning the U.S. Open last month at Erin Hills. A U.S. Open-Open double has proved elusive, as Tiger Woods is the last player to do it -- in 2000. That year he won by 15 at Pebble Beach and by 8 at St. Andrews.

The Mets have several veteran hitters (Jay Bruce, Curtis Granderson, Asdrubal Cabrera and Lucas Duda) attracting varying degrees of interest as the trade deadline approaches.

Reed is having a strong year and is eligible for free agency in November.
