The TEN: 7/9/2025

(‘”The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

  1. The Dodgers 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers Tuesday night was their fifth straight defeat.
  2. The Phoenix Suns signed Devin Booker to a two-year, $150 million extension that will keep him with the franchise until 2030. 
  3. The Clippers, The Utah Jazz and the Miami Heat have agreed to a trade that sends Norman Powell to Miami, John Collins to Los Angeles, and Kevin Love, Kyle Anderson and a 2027 Clippers second-round pick to the Jazz. 
  4. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins said he felt misled in an episode of the Netflix series “Quarterback” after the Falcons drafted quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the number 8 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

    I don’t think it will affect the already miserly stipends given to coaches (especially football)

    Not to bring up politics, but this particular politics can have a significant impact on local high school football in the future. With Trump’s new “Big Beautiful Bill” being passed, billions of federal $ will be withheld from public schools throughout the country. This means schools will have to cut somewhere. And we all know it won’t be in teacher/admin salaries, class computers, or science labs.
