Mike Macdonald made the call. The Seahawks head coach picked up the phone and reached out to Denver's Sean Payton Wednesday, offering a personal apology after comments he made in a published video went viral. Macdonald kept it simple — lesson learned — and the league took note. Accountability in real time.
Shifting to the hardwood, Stephen Curry is in no hurry. The Warriors superstar still has one season left on his current deal, but he's been cooling down extension talk all offseason. Curry told reporters he doesn't want drama, doesn't want talking points, and fully expects Golden State to be a winning team heading into his eighteenth NBA season. The man knows his worth and he's playing it cool.
And over at Fenway, the patience has run dry. Red Sox left-hander Erik Miller is at the center of a bullpen crisis in Boston, and at twenty eight years old, he's admitted the clock is ticking on his own confidence. With the Red Sox fighting for positioning deep into September, Miller's struggles couldn't come at a worse time. Boston needs answers, and they need them now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
