The political world is crashing into college football tonight. Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is publicly calling on the Big Twelve conference to suspend Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby. It is rare, and frankly striking, to see a state's top law enforcement official step directly into a conference disciplinary matter, and the Big Twelve has not yet responded.
Meanwhile, the World Cup is here and Ghana is already dealing a serious blow before a single whistle blows. Midfielder Thomas Partey, facing rape charges, has been denied entry into Canada by the Canadian government, meaning he will miss Ghana's opener against Panama next week. It is a stunning development that casts a shadow over his nation's tournament before it even begins.
And in the NBA Playoffs, San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson is standing firmly behind De'Aaron Fox heading into Game Five against the Warriors, despite Fox's difficult Game Four performance. Johnson's confidence is deliberate and public, and the message is clear — he is not pulling back from his star when the series is on the line and the moment is biggest.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
