With the Cowboys holding their mandatory minicamp this week, George Pickens has arrived at The Star today to take his physical, per source. By taking part in camp, he avoids a fine. Brian Schottenheimer said last week Pickens’ work would be limited after missing voluntary work.

Incredibly happy for Casey Smith to win another NBA Championship last night. His first with the Knicks, and 2nd overall after being an important part of the Mavs’ 2011 run.
He's one of the most respected sports medicine gurus in the league, who was unimaginably fired in one of the biggest mistakes in Mavs history by the man who would eventually drive the entire franchise directly into an iceberg.
According to a report by @BannedMacMahon, Nico parted ways Smith over a video conference call while he was tending to his ailing mother, no less.
Let that sink in.
And after almost two decades with the organization doing work that was universally recognized as being best in class.
Words can’t begin to describe what a shitburger decision that was by Nico, who appeared to be dead set on playing cold-blooded corporate chess, removing anybody that could stand in his way or threaten his growing power.
Hmm, I wonder if removing anyone with veto power would end up mattering. 🤔
But back to 2011… Smith was instrumental in keeping the great Tyson Chandler healthy enough to be the anchor of their championship D. A man who won multiple gold medals representing his country with USA hoops, an extremely high honor. And a Basketball Hall of Famer.
Immediately scooped up by the Knicks, Casey led a staff that won NBATA Training Staff of the Year and finished first in the entire league in fewest games missed to injury.
The Luka trade gets all the attention, understandably. But the day that Nico parted ways with Casey Smith is also on the short list of worst days in team history.
Some things just feel like a karma boomerang. This is one of those things.

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence.
In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.
Ms. Rachel: I've had the honor of meeting with 10 absolutely precious children their wonderful families who have been locked in Dilley Immigration Detention Center in Texas. A prison that is neglecting, abusing, and traumatizing kids. There is no safe amount of time for a child to be in detention. Dilley immigration detention center must be shut down. We need to end the cruel policies of family detention and family separation.
Two helicopters collided over Rio de Janeiro on Sunday morning and crashed in the city’s western zone, killing all six people aboard, firefighters said.
Police said that American singer and comedian Oliver Tree was on the list of passengers handed to aviation authorities, but have not been able to identify the bodies of those killed in the crash. https://t.co/MFrUMfCDnI
Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro
Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it
Röbynn Europe, a Black woman and former personal training manager at Equinox, was awarded $11.25 million after a jury found she was fired due to race and gender discrimination.
Between 2018 and 2019, she was terminated after being late 47 times over about 10 months. Equinox claimed it was an attendance issue, but Europe presented evidence of a hostile work environment, racist and sexist comments from colleagues, and inconsistent enforcement of rules for non-Black employees.
A federal jury in New York sided with her in May 2023, awarding $1.25 million in compensatory damages and $10 million in punitive damages. This is what accountability looks like! 👏🏾
Twelve years ago, President and Mrs. Obama made history by visiting with young people, tribal leaders and community members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in Cannon Ball, North Dakota.
Iran just leaked the receipts on the new deal, and it looks like a total US capitulation.
According to Mehr News, Tehran claims Washington locked in a staggering $300 BILLION in direct reconstruction funds. Even wilder? They're allegedly getting $24B in frozen assets unfrozen, with $12B handed over upfront just to sit down at the table.
This completely torches Trump’s narrative that Iran wouldn't get a single cent.
Trump is trapped.
This is a massive checkmate.

Ghanaian Father, Japanese Mother, born in the United States.
His family relocated to Japan when he was very little.
The choice to use his mother’s surname and not his father’s surname is generally due to integration.
Since they were moving permanently to Japan, it only made sense to use that surname.
In Japan, family registration and daily life strongly favor Japanese surnames for smoother integration, schooling, legal matters, and obtaining/affirming Japanese citizenship (which he holds).
If they remained in US or moved to Ghana, he probably would have used his father’s surname, I assume.
Anyways, he went through Urawa Red Diamonds’ academy before going on loan in Belgium and then established himself at Parma in the Italian Serie A.
He’s one goalkeeper many clubs are monitoring, he was linked to Manchester United at some point, and I hope he gets a big move shortly.

The plane carrying the #Uruguay national team is unable to enter the United States for the #2026WorldCup due to missing permits.
Uruguay's trip to Miami, where they are set to play Saudi Arabia in their opening match tomorrow, has been delayed.
This World Cup is an absolute disgrace. You are responsible for this, @FIFAWorldCup.
