• Juan Soto won a million dollars tonight by winning the 2022 All-Star Home Run Derby.
• Albert Pujols, before extra time in an upset Round 1 victory, was surrounded by every All-Star being honored this week, all of whom revered the man and got advice from him over the course of Pujols' long career.

• The Euro 2022 women's tournament now has it's final eight nations.
• The United States won the CONCACAF women's championship and a Paris Olympic berth with a 68th minute penalty for a 1-0 win over Canada.
• The Big XII and Pac-12 are done -- they won't partner, so they will probably fall out of the top division of college football apart, rather than together!

• Ken Jennings has returned to host Jeopardy!  2022-23 tapings, with audiences, begin in about two weeks.

• A fourth group of sumo wrestlers is out of the July tournament with at least one COVID positive, but none of them are in the upper division.
