Panthers rout Maple Leafs in Game 7 to advance to conference final

The defending champion Florida Panthers are heading to their third consecutive NHL Eastern Conference final after another rout of the Toronto Maple Leafs in their home arena.

After a scoreless first period in Game 7, the Panthers got three goals in a little more than six minutes in the second period on their way to a 6-1 victory on Sunday. They’ll next face the Carolina Hurricanes, who they swept in the 2023 conference final.

The Panthers, who lost Game 6 at home, also beat the Maple Leafs 6-1 in Game 5 in Toronto. Florida had lost the first two games at Scotiabank Arena but rallied to win the series and extend the Maple Leafs’ playoff misery.

Toronto has lost seven consecutive Game 7s, tying the NHL record for futility. The Maple Leafs haven’t been to the conference finals since 2002 or won a Stanley Cup since 1967.

The game had a scary moment when referee Chris Rooney left the game in the second period after catching an errant high stick in the face.

Soon after, the Panthers got goals from Seth Jones, Anton Lundell and Jonah Gadjovich. After Toronto’s Max Domi scored in the third period, Eetu Luotsarinen, Sam Reinhart and Brad Marchand replied.

Jones and Marchand, brought in before the trade deadline, combined for two goals and three assists in Game 7. Marchand improved to 5-0 against the Maple Leafs in Game 7s, a record for domination by a player against a single opponent.

The Maple Leafs, booed by fans, have plenty of questions after a season in which they won a division title and reached the second round for the second time since 2004. Core Four members Mitch Marner and John Tavares are unrestricted free agents.

USA TODAY provided live updates for Game 7 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers. Here are highlights:

Maple Leafs vs. Panthers highlights

What’s next for the Panthers?

They will face the Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference final. They will start on the road for the third consecutive series. Florida went 2-1 against the Hurricanes in the regular season, winning their lone road game.

What’s next for the Maple Leafs?

The question after each Maple Leafs playoff exit is whether to run back with the Core Four of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander and John Tavares. That might be harder because Marner and Tavares are unrestricted free agents. So is Max Pacioretty.

Matthew Knies is due a big raise as a restricted free agent. Nick Robertson is also an RFA but he wasn’t used much in the playoffs. Goalie Joseph Woll has signed an extension and Anthony Stolarz has another year left on his contract.

Game 7 recap

Maple Leafs-Panthers final score: Panthers 6, Maple Leafs 1

That’s the same score as the Panthers’ Game 5 blowout win. The Maple Leafs have now lost seven consecutive Game 7s. The Panthers have won three Game 7s in a row on the road.

Maple Leafs-Panthers score: Brad Marchand gets empty-netter

Barring a miracle comeback, Brad Marchand will go 5-0 in Game 7s vs. the Maple Leafs. He has three points in this game. Panthers 6, Maple Leafs 1.

Seth Jones goal waved off

Seth Jones drives to the net and scores. The puck goes in off his skate, but it apparently was called goalie interference, per TNT. His other leg does hit Joseph Woll. The referee’s microphone wasn’t working so the explanation wasn’t evident. Still 3-0 Florida.

Panthers nearly get another

Carter Verhaeghe has a chance against an out-of-position Joseph Woll, but his shot hits the backside of Maple Leafs defenseman Brandon Carlo.

Second period underway

Still scoreless.

End of first period: Maple Leafs 0, Panthers 0

Interesting period. Florida controlled the play early (25-0 edge on shot attempts) but once Toronto got its first shot attempt, the Maple Leafs took over. Sergei Bobrovsky had to stop a couple breakaways. Toronto tied the shots at seven before giving up a few while killing a penalty. Shots are 9-7 Florida. Hits are tied at 16. Toronto has blocked 15 shots and after blocking 31 in their shutout win in Game 6.

Maple Leafs continue pressure

Scott Laughton springs Steven Lorentz for a breakaway, but Sergei Bobrovsky makes the save.

Toronto went 2-1 against the Hurricanes during the 2024-25 regular season, outscoring them 13-10.

How Panthers fared vs. Hurricanes

If the Panthers win Sunday, it would bring about a rematch of the 2023 Eastern Conference final. Florida swept that series with every game a one-goal victory.

Previous 2025 Game 7s featured third-period comebacks

The NHL’s other two Game 7s this postseason featured comebacks from two-goal deficits in the third period.

The Dallas Stars trailed 2-0 early in the third period, but Mikko Rantanen had three goals and an assist to defeat the Colorado Avalanche 4-2.

Winnipeg scored twice in the final two minutes to tie the St. Louis Blues 3-3 and Jets captain Adam Lowry won in double overtime.

Brad Marchand unbeaten against Toronto in Game 7s

‘These are the games you talk about forever,’ he told reporters.

Maple Leafs’ Matthew Knies ‘good to go’ for Game 7

Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube said forward Matthew Knies is ‘good to go’ for Game 7. His ice time had been limited later in Game 6 after he absorbed a few big hits. That doesn’t sound like the case heading into Game 7.

‘I anticipate using him,’ Berube told reporters.

Maple Leafs vs. Panthers predictions: Who will win Game 7?

Game 7 predictions from USA TODAY Sports:

Jason Anderson: Panthers 3, Leafs 1; The Leafs have lost six consecutive Game 7s, and it’s hard to imagine that streak ending against this Panthers team. Sergei Bobrovsky will step up his game, and the Eetu Luostarinen-Anton Lundell-Marchand line in particular will continue what has been a strong series. William Nylander will give Toronto fans hope, but look for Florida to grind out a road win.

Mike Brehm: Panthers 2, Maple Leafs 1. The Maple Leafs played a perfect style for an elimination game to stay alive on Friday. But they’ve done that before and then lost in Game 7. First-year Maple Leafs coach Craig Berube (2-1 in Game 7s) has Toronto playing better, but Panthers coach Paul Maurice is 5-0. Florida’s championship pedigree will win out.

Jace Evans: Panthers 3, Maple Leafs 2. I will not be surprised if the Maple Leafs win this game. They’re very good! But I can’t pick them until I see this group do it. They are 0-5 in Game 7s in the Auston Matthews/Mitch Marner era (and lost another winner-take-all game in the bubble in 2020). Florida is about as battle-tested as you can be, the bulk of this group winning Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last year.

The Best Five Sectors, #19

Sector Rotation Shakeup: Industrials Take the Lead

Another week of significant movement in the sector landscape has reshaped the playing field. The Relative Rotation Graph (RRG) paints a picture of shifting dynamics, with some surprising developments in sector leadership. Let’s dive into the details and see what’s happening under the hood.

  1. (6) Industrials – (XLI)*
  2. (4) Financials – (XLF)*
  3. (1) Utilities – (XLU)*
  4. (2) Communication Services – (XLC)*
  5. (3) Consumer Staples – (XLP)*
  6. (8) Technology – (XLK)*
  7. (5) Real-Estate – (XLRE)*
  8. (9) Materials – (XLB)*
  9. (11) Energy – (XLE)*
  10. (10) Consumer Discretionary – (XLY)
  11. (7) Healthcare – (XLV)*

Weekly RRG

On the weekly RRG, Utilities and Consumer Staples maintain their high positions on the RS-Ratio scale. However, there are signs of waning momentum. Staples has rolled over within the leading quadrant and is now showing a negative heading. Utilities, while still strong, are losing some of their relative momentum.

Financials and Communication Services are hanging on in the weakening quadrant, but their tails are relatively short — indicating potential for a quick turnaround.

The show’s star, Industrials, has made a beeline for the leading quadrant, climbing on the RS-Ratio scale while maintaining a positive RRG heading.

Daily RRG

Switching to the daily RRG, we get a more granular view. Utilities, Staples, and Financials are found in the lagging quadrant, but Staples and Utilities are showing signs of life, turning back up towards the improving quadrant.

Financials, meanwhile, are hugging the benchmark.

The daily chart confirms Industrials’ strength, mirroring its weekly performance.

Communication Services, however, is showing some worrying signs — it’s dropped into the weakening quadrant on the daily RRG, confirming its vulnerable position on the weekly chart.

Industrials

XLI flexes its muscles, pushing against overhead resistance around the $144 mark.

A break above this level could trigger a further acceleration in price.

The relative strength line has already broken out of its consolidation pattern, propelling both RRG lines above 100 and driving the XLI tail deeper into the leading quadrant.

Financials

The financial sector continues its upward trajectory, trading above its previous high and closing in on the all-time high of around $53.

Like Industrials, a break above this resistance could spark a new leg up.

The RS line is moving sideways within its rising channel, causing the RRG lines to flatten—something to watch.

Utilities

XLU has finally broken through its overhead resistance, approaching its all-time high around $83.

After months of pushing against the $80 level, this breakout is a clear sign of strength.

The RS line is still grappling with its own resistance, but the RS-Ratio line continues its gradual ascent.

Communication Services

While XLC is moving higher on the price chart, its relative strength is lagging.

The sideways movement in the RS line is causing both RRG lines to move lower, with the RS-Momentum line already below 100.

This sector is rapidly approaching the lagging quadrant on the daily RRG—definitely one to watch for potential risks.

Consumer Staples

XLP is approaching the upper boundary of its trading range ($83-$85), where it is running into resistance. The inability to push higher while the market is moving up is causing relative strength to falter.

The recent strength has pushed both RRG lines well above 100, but the current loss of relative strength is now causing the RRG-Lines to roll over.

The tail is still comfortably within the leading quadrant, but this loss of momentum could signal a potential setback.

Portfolio Performance

The model portfolio’s defensive positioning has led to some underperformance relative to SPY, with the gap now just under 6%.

However, the model is sticking to its guns, maintaining a defensive stance with Staples and Utilities firmly in the top five.

It’s worth noting that Healthcare has now definitively dropped out of the top ranks. Nevertheless, with Staples and Utilities holding firm, and Technology and Consumer Discretionary still in the bottom half, the overall positioning remains cautious.

These are the periods when patience is key. We need to let the model do its work and wait for new, meaningful relative trends to emerge. It’s not always comfortable to endure underperformance, but it’s often necessary to capture longer-term outperformance.

Trump reshapes US foreign policy with wildly successful, business-first Middle East trip

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald J. Trump’s Middle East swing was one big, beautiful business trip – and America foreign policy will never be the same. 

As we saw over and over again, Trump believes international relations work best when they consist of sharp-elbowed business deals. When countries are busy trading, launching construction projects, developing AI, etc., then ideology and military confrontation diminish and tolerance thrives. Of course, Trump’s battering of the Houthis with aircraft carriers and bombers greatly facilitated this trip. 

But make no mistake. This is peace through strength: economic strength. Commerce, not conflict. 

Way back in 1987, when the U.S. Navy was protecting oil tankers from Iran, Trump spent $95,000 on a full-page ad in the New York Times to tell America to stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves. ‘We are protective of Saudi Arabia. They should pay for it,’ Trump said to Larry King on CNN on Sep. 2, 1987.  

Forty years later, as a second-term president, Trump has swept away tenets that drove American foreign policy for the last hundred years. 

President Woodrow Wilson making the world safe for democracy as he led America into World War I in 1917? Gone. 

Foreign aid soft-power culture projects? All over.  

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama rabble-rousing the Arab spring of 2011 and ditching friends like Hosni Mubarak of Egypt? Not anymore. 

Russian military bases in Syria and China cutting deals across the Middle East? Not so fast. 

And you already know the new deal with NATO, an alliance dating from 1949. Going forward, America will remain the lead security partner deterring Russia, but trade deals will be squared up. 

Adding to the shock and awe, Trump expanded the roster of his national security team for this away game. The secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury and Commerce were joined by businessmen: Tesla CEO Elon Musk, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp and others. Why? Trump is putting businessmen on the field to run plays that boost the U.S. and knock back China. 

And not a moment too soon. For it is the rise of China and the technology threat of AI that has made Trump’s shift urgent.  

Here are six major scores from his Middle East trip.  

1. Investment in USA

Trump raked in over $2 trillion in investment pledges from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE. This is real money, coming directly to America. Check out the UAE investing $1.4 trillion in the U.S., ranging from natural gas in Texas to data centers to the first new U.S. aluminum smelting facility in 35 years.  

2. AI chip sales

Long-term, this may be the single most valuable outcome of Trump’s trip. You don’t want a world where China rules in artificial intelligence, and Saudi Arabia, the UAE and others end up in Xi Jinping’s lap. Trump has made AI leadership a priority for U.S. foreign policy.  

The UAE is going full AI and will import 500,000 Nvidia chips per year for AI datacenters. Allowing sales to Mideast partners will help U.S. companies gain global market share over China. You can bet Commerce has ways to monitor how chips are used, and restrictions remain on the most advanced chips, but let me be clear. It was us or China. I’m glad Jensen Huang, and not Xi Jinping, got that deal. 

3. Airpower

Playing to an American export strength, the trip yielded a gigantic order from Qatar Airways for 130 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, 30 777-9s, and options for 50 more jets, making this the biggest widebody order ever. Boeing says the order supports 400,000 American jobs throughout the supply chain.   

Qatar will also purchase some extremely advanced ‘Desert Viper’ F-16 Block 60 fighter jets with upgraded engines, the AN/APG-80 AESA radar and more. Saudi Arabia restocks vital AIM-120 missiles, with a big order that will also help the U.S. speed up production for our own stockpile to deter China.  

4. Syria

The 30-minute meeting with Syria’s President Ahmad Al-Sharaa was a direct application of Trump’s new policy. Al-Sharaa is a radical-turned opportunist, and by lifting sanctions, Trump is calculating that a better Syrian economy will be stabilizing.  ‘It’s not going to be easy anyway. So, it gives them a good, strong chance,’ Trump told leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh.  

Is Syria an ally or an enemy, wondered NBC News. Wrong question. Syria is neither; lifting sanctions is a chess move. ‘We do not want to be stuck with China being the only choice for Syria,’ Dr. Sharvan Ibesh of the Bahar Organization, a humanitarian NGO active in Syria, told Gordon Chang on May 7. Don’t forget that U.S. Central Command’s A-10s, B-52s and F-15Es knocked the stuffing out of ISIS weapons caches in Syria last winter.  

5. Iran

‘Iran can have a much brighter future,’ Trump said in Riyadh. You know the ayatollah gasped when Syria got its sanctions lifted. All the business deals were a vivid message to Iran. Dump the weapons program and ‘nuclear dust’ as Trump calls it and reap the economic benefits. Of course, Trump is keeping U.S. aircraft carriers, bombers and more pointed straight at Iran. 

6. Slap to China and Russia

Every move made by Trump in the Middle East is a tactical loss for China and Russia. Trump’s deals are far better than China’s underhanded Belt and Road projects. Bonus points for pouring cold water on China’s overtures in Syria. And Putin is writhing over the loss of Russian bases in Syria, which his Wagner Group cronies used to support military operations in Africa.  

Foreign leaders know what they are getting with Trump, and it works for them. ‘At the end of the day, President Trump is a businessman,’ UAE Foreign Trade Minister Dr. Al Zeyoudi commented to Gulf News on Friday. He wants to strike a deal. He is looking at added value to the U.S.’ 

Golden age foreign policy has just begun.

Biden speaks out for first time since cancer diagnosis

Former President Joe Biden is commenting publicly for the first time Monday after it was announced he was diagnosed with an ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer. 

‘Cancer touches us all. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us up with love and support,’ Biden wrote on X. 

Biden’s team revealed Sunday that the former president ‘was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.’ 

‘On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,’ it said in a statement. 

‘While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,’ the statement added. 

Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and President Donald Trump have since commented on Biden’s cancer diagnosis. 

‘Michelle and I are thinking of the entire Biden family. Nobody has done more to find breakthrough treatments for cancer in all its forms than Joe, and I am certain he will fight this challenge with his trademark resolve and grace. We pray for a fast and full recovery,’ Obama noted in posts on social media. 

Trump said, ‘Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.’

‘We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,’ he added in a post on Truth Social. 

Clinton said, ‘My friend Joe Biden’s always been a fighter,’ and ‘Hillary and I are rooting for him and are keeping him, Jill, and the entire family in our thoughts.’

Russia bombards Ukraine with drones hours after Trump announces talks with Putin

Russia targeted Ukraine with its largest single drone attack yet just hours ahead of President Donald Trump’s phone call with Vladimir Putin about ending the war. 

Russia on Sunday fired a total of 273 exploding drones and decoys targeting Ukraine’s Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, according to Ukraine’s air force. Of those, 88 were intercepted and 128 lost, likely being electronically jammed.  

The barrage was the biggest drone attack since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Yuriy Ihnat, head of the air force’s communications department, told the Associated Press. 

It came after Trump said he would be ‘speaking, by telephone, to President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Monday, at 10:00 a.m.’ regarding the war in Ukraine. 

‘The subjects of the call will be, stopping the ‘bloodbath’ that is killing, on average, more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. ‘I will then be speaking to President Zelenskyy of Ukraine and then, with President Zelenskyy, various members of NATO.’ 

‘Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war, a war that should have never happened, will end,’ Trump added. ‘God bless us all!!!’ 

The previous largest known single drone attack from Russia against Ukraine was on the eve of the war’s third anniversary, when Russia pounded Ukraine with 267 drones. 

Kyiv regional Gov. Mykola Kalashnyk said a 28-year-old woman was killed in Sunday’s drone attack, and three other people, including a 4-year-old child, were wounded, the AP reported. 

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also met with Zelenskyy in Rome Sunday for ongoing peace talks. 

‘During our talks we discussed negotiations in Istanbul to where the Russians sent a low-level delegation of non-decision-makers. I reaffirmed that Ukraine is ready to be engaged in real diplomacy and underscored the importance of a full and unconditional ceasefire as soon as possible,’ Zelenskyy shared on X regarding the meeting.  

‘We have also touched upon the need for sanctions against Russia, bilateral trade, defense cooperation, battlefield situation and upcoming prisoners exchange. Pressure is needed against Russia until they are eager to stop the war. And, of course, we talked about our joint steps to achieve a just and durable peace,’ he continued.  

World leaders converged in Rome this weekend for Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural mass at the Vatican on Sunday, with Vance leading the U.S. delegation. Zelenskyy also attended the mass.

White House says Trump ‘trusts his physicians’ following Biden’s cancer announcement

President Donald Trump remains confident in White House doctors despite the possibility that they missed a prostate cancer diagnosis for former President Joe Biden while he was in office, the White House says.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made the statement during a press briefing on Monday morning, saying Trump remains in good health. Speculation has exploded in the days since Biden he has stage 5 metastatic prostate cancer this weekend, a diagnosis that typically takes years to develop.

‘White House doctors may have missed the early stages of his prostate cancer. So is President Trump worried about the quality of care that presidents get here?’ Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked.

‘Not as far as President Trump is concerned. The White House physician we have here is phenomenal,’ Leavitt responded. ‘The team of physicians that take care of the president, particularly at Walter Reed Medical Center, are great. The president had his physical recently, as you know, he had, perfect results. He’s in very good shape.’

‘I think those of you who traveled to the Middle East with us last week can attest to the president’s endurance. And by the way, I will add, we returned home from a very long and tiring trip last week, and on Saturday, where was the president? In the Oval Office, working all day. He doesn’t stop. He doesn’t quit. He’s in great health and he trusts his physicians,’ she added.

Trump said he and first lady Melania Trump said he were ‘saddened’ to learn of Biden’s diagnosis and wished him a ‘fast and successful recovery’ in a post on social media this weekend.

‘Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis,’ Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. ‘We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery.’

Leavitt told reporters that she does not believe Trump has spoken with Biden since the announcement, but she said he would be open to speaking with him.

Biden’s office confirmed on Sunday that he was diagnosed with an ‘aggressive form’ of prostate cancer.

‘Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms,’ Biden’s team shared in a statement. ‘On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone.’

‘While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management. The President and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians,’ the statement said.

Biden, 82, remains the oldest U.S. president.

Iranian president calls for negotiation and dialogue as nuclear talks continue

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke over the weekend, reiterating Iran’s commitment to dialogue and desire for a civilian nuclear program.

The Iranian leader addressed navy officials in Bandar Abbas, discussing the ongoing negotiations for a deal with the United States.

‘We are not seeking war, we favor negotiation and dialogue, but we are not afraid of threats either, and we will in no way retreat from our legal rights,’ Pezeshkian said.

Compared to previous Iranian presidents, Pezeshkian has emerged as a more level-headed and reformist leader, aiming to reach new understandings with the West, according to Politico.

The United States and Iran have completed four rounds of indirect negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear program, though the public has received mixed messages on the path forward. While officials from Washington and Tehran have expressed optimism about the conversations, a number of technical details have yet to be discussed, including the specifics surrounding uranium enrichment and stockpile levels. 

Iran is insisting they will continue to enrich uranium for civilian and research purposes, while the Trump administration is calling for all enrichment to end. Right now, Iran is enriching uranium to up to 60% purity, well beyond the confines of the 2015 nuclear deal that President Donald Trump withdrew from in 2018.

Over the weekend, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi commented on the current situation, saying that Iran has received no written proposal from the United States about an agreement.

‘Mark my words: there is no scenario in which Iran abandons its hard-earned right to enrichment for peaceful purposes: a right afforded to all other NPT signatories, too,’ Ataghchi said in a post on X.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump spoke about the ongoing talks with Iran, opening up the possibility of trade with the country, if the talks lead to a deal.

‘Iran wants to trade with us,’ Trump told Bret Baier. ‘And I’m OK with it.’

Trump wrapped up a four-day tour of the Gulf last week, pushing for new normalization deals and an agreement with Iran. Any deal with the United States is expected to lead to much-needed sanctions relief for Iran.

‘I’ve told Iran, we make a deal,’ Trump said, ‘you’re going to be very happy.’

Antonio Brown ‘temporarily detained’ after boxing event altercation

Antonio Brown was ‘temporarily detained’ by police Saturday after an altercation in which gunshots were fired outside at a celebrity boxing event in Miami, the former NFL star announced on social media.

Miami Police Department spokesperson Kiara Delva told the USA TODAY Sports Network that Miami Police received an alert from ShotSpotter — a gunshot detection system — at approximately 3 a.m. ET Saturday. They arrived at the location the system produced and discovered an event, hosted by popular streamer Adin Ross, was being held there.

The police then initiated an investigation, which ‘included canvassing the area and interviewing several individuals.’ Delva could not confirm the names of the individuals at the scene at the time of the incident. No injured persons were located, nor were any arrests made as a result of the investigation, which is ongoing.

Video posted to social media showed Brown involved in a fight with several people. The 36-year-old could be seen jogging as he exited a garage. Gunshots can be heard off-camera near the end of the footage.

Brown claimed he was ‘jumped by multiple individuals’ who attempted to steal jewelry from him.

‘Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me,’ Brown wrote on social media. ‘I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED.’

Brown did not mention the gunshots in his statement. He did say he would try to press charges ‘on the individuals that jumped [him].’

Brown also told Ross he couldn’t remember what had happened during the incident in a livestream shortly after it occurred.

‘Yeah I got CTE, I blacked out,’ Brown said. ‘I blacked out, Adin. I don’t know what happened.’

Brown last played in the NFL in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played a total of 12 NFL seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots and Buccaneers.

Alex Noren to enter Sunday as a contender

Scottie Scheffler back on top

Jon Rahm reflects on third round

Jon Rahm finished the third round with a score of 67, his lowest score in a major since the Open Championship in 2023.

‘Every day is getting harder,’ Rahm said during an interview with CBS’ Amanda Balionis. ‘Things are going to go sideways, but you will also get good breaks. … I got two incredible bounces on (holes) 9 and 11 off the tee that should’ve been in the rough but ended up in the fairway.’

DeChambeau is the sole leader

Bryson DeChambeau sinks a four-foot birdie at Hole 15, taking the sole lead at eight-under.

The lead continues to change

Jon Rahm’s brief time at the top was quickly overshadowed as the leaderboard continued to shift. Bryson DeChambeau made a seven-foot birdie putt on the par-4 14th hole, bringing his score to seven under par. He is now tied for the lead with Jhonattan Vegas, Scottie Scheffler, and Davis Riley.

Jon Rahm joins the lead

Jon Rahm continues his excellent round and joins the leaders at 7-under. He is now tied with Scottie Scheffler and Jhonattan Vegas.

Vegas looks hot and back on top

Rahm nails a birdie putt at No. 14

Jon Rahm recovered from his frightening incident to birdie at Hole 14, moving to 6-under and tying for fourth place.

Kim shares the lead with Scheffler

Scottie Scheffler is tied for the lead after making a birdie at the seventh hole, recording his third birdie in four holes. He is now 7-under, alongside Si-Woo Kim at the top of the leaderboard.

Jon Rahm smokes fan on Hole 11

Through 10 holes, Rahm had played pretty well this Saturday, sitting at -3 on the day and 5-under for the tournament. However, that stellar play didn’t stop him from experiencing a rather scary moment on Hole 11. Rahm’s approach shot went far left, and appeared destined for the rough. However, Rahm’s ball struck a fan, with the ball ricocheting off the fan’s head, across the green, and into the right side rough.

Thankfully, the fan was alright. Rahm gifted them an autographed glove as an apology. Rahm wound up with a bogey on the hole.

Si Woo Kim takes the lead

Si Woo Kim now leads the leaderboard after making a birdie on the fourth hole. He holds a one-shot lead at 7-under par.

Tony Finau’s surge

Tony Finau is climbing the leaderboard and is now just two shots off the lead.

Bryson DeChambeau move into the top ten

Collin Morikawa birdie on first hole

PGA Championship predictions and picks

Experts made their picks ahead of the tournament:

NBC Sports: Bryson DeChambeau

Ryan Lavner writes, ‘Bryson DeChambeau. There’s no one on the planet – not Rory, not Scottie – who is driving the ball as well as DeChambeau is at the moment. And it’s difficult to conjure up a more perfect venue for him, a 7,600-yard behemoth that will play even longer after the heavy rain and place a premium on finding the fairways and avoiding the wet, dense rough. DeChambeau’s iron play continues to be a question mark – it’s the only reason he didn’t win the Masters last month – but his short game and putting remains tidy enough to give him a significant advantage. If he continues to drive the ball like he has for the past year-plus, this is a great opportunity for him to knock off major No. 3.’

BetMGM: Bryson DeChambeau

‘Including a near miss at Augusta National this past weekend, DeChambeau has now recorded four top-10s in his last five major championships. Over his last nine major championships, DeChambeau owns five top-10s and four top-5s. One such success came last year at Valhalla, the most correlative course to Quail Hollow, per datagolf.com.’

Gambling Nerd: Scottie Scheffler

‘Despite never winning the event, Scheffler has finished in the top 10 in four of his five PGA Championship appearances … Scheffler will solidify his standing at the top of the world rankings with a win at Quail Hollow Club this year.’

Newsweek: Rory McIlroy

‘Scheffler may lead the odds to win, but McIlroy’s track record at Quail Hollow can’t be overlooked. The Northern Irishman has won four of his 12 appearances in the Wells Fargo Championship (now the Truist Championship) there, to go with five other top 10s. Add to that the level of play he has displayed this season (three wins, one major).’
