Admiral Lisa Franchetti has been chosen by President Joe Biden to become the first woman to serve as the esteemed position of the Navy’s top officer, which is a momentous move for the United States Navy. In addition to shattering the glass ceiling, this historic nomination demonstrates the administration’s dedication to development, equity, and diversity within the armed forces.

Admiral Lisa Franchetti provides a wealth of knowledge and leadership to her new position thanks to a remarkable career spanning a decade. She was appointed a Surface Warfare Officer in 1985, and since then, both ashore and at sea, she has excelled in a variety of assignments. Franchetti most recently as the commander of American Naval Forces in Europe and Africa. She has also held the position of commander of the Navy’s Sixth Fleet.

Her personal awards include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal (two awards), Legion of Merit (five awards), Meritorious Service Medal (five awards), Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal (four awards), and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal (two awards).

Biden said in a statement, “As our next Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Lisa Franchetti will bring 38 years of dedicated service to our nation as a commissioned officer, including in her current role of Vice Chief of Naval Operations.” “Throughout her career, Admiral Franchetti has demonstrated extensive expertise in both the operational and policy arenas. She is the second woman ever to achieve the rank of four-star admiral in the United States Navy, and when confirmed, she will again make history as the first woman to serve as the Chief of Naval Operations and on the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”

MLS News: CF Montreal use 2 early goals to push past Charlotte FC

CF Montreal scored two goals in a three-minute span in the first half en route to a 2-0 win against visiting Charlotte FC on Saturday.

Montreal (9-12-2, 29 points) snapped a four-match winless streak in which it was shut out in each match.

The loss ended a run of five straight draws for Charlotte (6-9-8, 26 points), which is 0-3-5 in its past eight matches.

The visitors had a chance to score early thanks to a corner in the first minute, but an attempted header from the goal area rolled just wide.

From then on, Montreal controlled the ball and finally broke through in the 29th minute.

Kwadwo Opoku scored his first goal with Montreal in his second match with the club for a 1-0 lead. Aaron Herrera controlled the ball from midfield up into the attacking third, sending a rolling pass into the box for Bryce Duke.

Duke then passed to Chinonso Offor, who connected for a shot from the right side that was stopped by Kristijan Kahlina. However, the rebound came right to Opoku in front of the goal for the tap-in.

It was Montreal’s first goal since it scored in a 1-0 win against Nashville SC on June 21.

Offor doubled the lead in the 31st minute. Joel Waterman lobbed a long feed from deep in the defensive end into the attacking third, where Offor got behind the Charlotte defenders. Kahlina came off his line to the middle of the area, but it was Offor who got to the ball first to make it 2-0.

Charlotte started to generate chances early in the second half and came close to getting on the board in the 57th minute. Patrick Agyemang took a right-footed shot from the right side of the 6-yard box, but his attempt was blocked.

Duke nearly added to Montreal’s lead in the 70th minute after taking a cross from Mathieu Choiniere at the right side, but his attempt went wide.

PGA News: Stephen Curry sinks eagle putt to win celebrity golf event

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry rolled in a long eagle putt on the final hole to win the American Century Championship on Sunday in Stateline, Nev.

Curry wound up two points ahead of former tennis player Mardy Fish in the celebrity golf event at Edgewood Tahoe Resort. In the tournament’s modified Stableford scoring system, Curry shot a 25 on Sunday for a three-round total of 75. Fish, who won the event in 2020, closed with a 26 to end up at 73.

Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski carded a 19 on Sunday and ended up in third place at 66. Mark Mulder, a former baseball pitcher who is a three-time American Century Championship winner, took fourth place at 59 after a final-round 21.

On Saturday, Curry made a hole-in-one on the 152-yard, par-3 seventh hole, just the fifth ace in the tournament’s 34-year history.

The only other basketball player to win the event was Vinny Del Negro in 2021.

LPGA News: Cheyenne Knight, Elizabeth Szokol set records at LPGA team event

Cheyenne Knight and Elizabeth Szokol broke a tournament record for alternate-shot play to grab a three-shot lead after three rounds of the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational on Friday in Midland, Mich.

Knight and Szokol teamed up to shoot an 8-under 62, the lowest round of alternate shot the event has seen in its four years of existence. That put them at 18-under 192, also a tournament record for 54 holes, with Finland’s Matilda Castren and Malaysia’s Kelly Tan in second at 15 under.

The 72-hole event features two-player teams. Alternate shot is used during the first and third rounds, while the second and final rounds are played using a four-ball format.

Knight sank a 25-foot birdie putt at the par-3 18th hole at Midland Country Club in order to set the record. The team birdied six of the final eight holes.

“I obviously didn’t know how low we were going,” Knight said. “We were just making a lot of birdies, which you don’t expect in alternate shot, but it was super fun.”

Knight, 26, has one win on the LPGA Tour, the Volunteers of America Classic in October 2019. Szokol, 29, has yet to win her first title and hasn’t finished better than 56th since March, when she tied for eighth at the HSBC Women’s World Championship.

“We’re really good friends, so I think we’re very comfortable playing together,” Szokol said of Knight. “We know each other really well, and I have so much trust in Cheyenne’s game, and that makes it so much easier for alternate shot.”

Castren and Tan remained steady by shooting a 68 on Friday. They finished runners-up at this event in 2022 and led after the first round earlier this week.

“I think this is one event on the calendar year that I look forward to, and I think we both look forward to together,” Tan said. “It’s just such a fun atmosphere, I feel like, compared to a normal event.”

Norway’s Celine Borge and Germany’s Polly Mack shot a 68 Friday to move to 13 under, tied for third with Jodi Ewart Shadoff of England and Emma Talley (70). Stacy Lewis and Mexico’s Maria Fassi (66) are tied for fifth at 12 under with France’s Celine Boutier and Japan’s Yuka Saso (70).

Paula Reto of South Africa and Amelia Lewis led the event after Thursday’s second round, but a 3-over 73 has dropped them back to a tie for seventh at 11 under with Ana Belac of Slovenia and Binaca Pagdanganan of the Philippines (66).

NCAAF News: Ex-players hire law firm to sue Northwestern over hazing

Eight former players so far have hired attorney Ben Crump to pursue legal action against Northwestern in the wake of the football hazing scandal that led to the firing of coach Pat Fitzgerald.

Crump is partnering with Chicago-based law firm Levin & Perconti in any action against the university. In a statement released Monday, Crump said an investigation uncovered “a vast array of incidents of abuse.”

“Whether the coaches at Northwestern approved or participated in the harassment of these players or not, they are responsible for allowing and enabling a toxic, disgusting, and damaging culture in their programs,” Crump said in a statement. “Sadly, our research suggests that this kind of abuse of student athletes may be far more common on college campuses than we know, because there is tremendous pressure to keep quiet. It’s time for a reckoning to protect young athletes.”

Fitzgerald was fired July 10 after initially being suspended for two weeks without pay. Fitzgerald is also mulling legal action against the school for breach of contract.

Crump and the firm expect more players to join the legal action.

Northwestern president Michael Schill said players were exposed to “forced participation, nudity and sexualized acts of a degrading nature, in clear violation of Northwestern policies and values” in announcing Fitzgerald’s termination.

Meanwhile, Northwestern is retaining all assistant coaches for the 2023 season. The school named David Braun as interim head coach for the entire upcoming campaign.

NFL News: Jets’ ‘Hard Knocks’ season to debut Aug. 8

The New York Jets open training camp Wednesday, and it won’t take long for fans to get a look at Aaron Rodgers at the helm of Gang Green.

HBO and NFL Films announced Monday that “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the New York Jets” will debut Aug. 8, the first of five episodes to run Tuesdays from 10-11 p.m. ET.

This is the 18th annual “Hard Knocks,” which featured the Jets under then-head coach Rex Ryan in 2010.

Although current head coach Robert Saleh said he didn’t want his team on the show, maybe it will bring the Jets good luck; the 2010 Jets advanced to the AFC Championship Game.

“NFL Films has a long and storied relationship with the Jets, from the early days of the AFL and Joe Namath’s ‘#1’ salute after Super Bowl III, to The Sack Exchange, and the team’s first appearance on Hard Knocks in the midst of back-to-back AFC Championship Game appearances,” Patrick Kelleher, executive producer of NFL Films, said in a news release. “The 2010 Jets changed the profile and the success of Hard Knocks forever. That Jets team made football fun for fans. And now we are excited for a new partnership with this iconic organization and HBO to create another chapter in both NFL and television history filled with great personalities and a roster striving to reach new heights of success.”

The final episode of this “Hard Knocks” will run Sept. 5, just days before the team’s Sept. 11 opener against AFC East rival Buffalo.

The Jets were 7-10 last season, their third consecutive last-place finish in the division. They have not made the playoffs since 2010.

CFL News: Dustin Crum, Redblacks hope for another big showing vs. Stamps

A 31-28 overtime win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers was one of the most stunning results in the Ottawa Redblacks’ history.

Ottawa trailed 25-6 after three quarters and was starting its third quarterback in five games. But Dustin Crum led the team to two touchdowns in the final three minutes of regulation and then ran 29 yards for the game-winner in overtime.

The Redblacks will try for an encore on Sunday in Calgary, where they play a Stampeders team coming off its own big win last week.

Ottawa (2-3) got 364 total yards from Crum, who threw for 261 and ran for 103. Crum rushed for a 12-yard touchdown on the final play of regulation and then connected with Nate Behar for a two-point conversion that forced overtime.

“I’m not going sideways, I’m going to go right through him,” Crum said of the scoring run to end regulation. “I wasn’t going to let it happen again. It was a whatever-it-takes mindset.”

Crum was stopped at the 2-yard line on the final play of regulation in the Redblacks’ previous game, a 21-13 loss two weeks ago at Hamilton. He relieved Jeremiah Masoli after the veteran sustained a season-ending Achilles tear in the second quarter.

Meanwhile, Calgary (2-3) got a road win it absolutely needed in Saskatchewan, holding off the Roughriders 33-31 as quarterback Jake Maier threw for 315 yards and a pair of touchdowns. A defeat would have given Saskatchewan the season series, which could have hurt the Stampeders’ playoff chances.

Calgary won despite another abysmal week on special teams. It permitted Mario Alford to run back two punts for touchdowns and has allowed seven punt returns of more than 30 yards, the most of any team in the CFL.

“We have to change, we have to find some different ways to get through,” Stampeders coach Dave Dickenson said. “We know CFL is a big field with a lot of returns. We had some nice returns ourselves, but when you’re at your best is when you’re dictating the pace of play and making him feel like he’s got to earn hard yards.”

Calgary and Ottawa played last month in Ottawa, with the Stampeders taking a 26-15 win.
