Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was released from a Dallas County jail on Tuesday after serving a 30-day sentence for violating the terms of his probation, which stemmed from his role in a car crash that left multiple people injured on a Texas highway. The 26-year-old Rice had been booked into the jail on May 19 after testing positive for THC. Upon his release, Rice made a quick dash past a handful of reporters and into a waiting SUV, which whisked him away from the facility. Rice had surgery about a week before he was sentenced to clean up debris in his right knee, which had been causing inflammation. A judge approved a request from his lawyers to allow him to receive treatment at Parkland Hospital while serving his sentence. Rice missed all the Chiefs' voluntary offseason workouts and their mandatory minicamp, which concluded last week. But Chiefs coach Andy Reid said recently that he expects him to report on time to training camp at the end of July. "[Chiefs trainer] Rick [Burkholder] has talked to him more than what I have," Reid said, "just making sure that everything was set there where he could do some rehab with it and still do the time that he needed to take care of. So he's on top of that, and thank goodness that they're allowing him to do that. So, they've been great with that." The Chiefs are counting on Rice to help an offense that often struggled during a disappointing 6-11 finish last season. He's been valuable when he's been available, catching 156 passes for 1,797 yards and 14 touchdowns and helping the Chiefs win the Super Bowl in the 2023 season. But he's also missed games because of suspension and injuries, resulting in just 28 played in three seasons. "Were moving forward as normal, as we go here," Reid said during voluntary workouts. "When he gets back, weve got to get him caught up in doing what he needs to do, and make sure he gets it. Its not an easy thing hes going through. "Life lessons are important," Reid added, "but were all given chances to learn, and hes in that position now." Reporting by The Associated Press.

McIlroy wonders if the old way the PGA Tour operated was actually best as they prepare for major schedule changes in 2028

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. The last time Rory McIlroy played before fans on Long Island, it got ugly. Really ugly. Cursing, beer-throwing ugly.That was the Ryder Cup last September, and you might remember how that turned out. New York fans thought it was a good idea to insult, belittle and attack the wife of one of the most eye-for-an-eye players in the game.McIlroy and Team Europe had their revenge, winning on American soil, but the damage was done. The over-the-top blathering of a subset of New York fans stained the entire 2025 Bethpage Ryder Cup, along with the reputations (and, in part, the jobs) of many involved in the effort from the American side.Given that Shinnecock is only about an hour or so east of Bethpage, and that many of the same fans who were shouting themselves raw critiquing McIlroys parentage and Shane Lowrys waistline will be in attendance this week, its reasonable to wonder if hes concerned about fan behavior. McIlroy wisely opted for flattery rather than criticism.I love playing around New York, he said Tuesday morning. I love playing in this area. It's got some of the best golf in the world.Play Golf Pick Em now to make your predictions for the U.S. Open!Hes not wrong about that, but also, he can afford to be magnanimous after coming here and planting his flag on American turf. He doesnt expect this weeks U.S. Open to have the same kind of patriotic vitriol as the last time he was here.The Ryder Cup is us-versus-them, very partisan, he said. It's just a different beast.McIlroy wraps any lingering frustrations in a warm cocoon of eff-you. Was it a rough week for me at times? Absolutely. But it is what it is, he said. If that's a price to pay to live the life that I'm living, then I'm OK with that.Chances are hes right; the New York fans will likely embrace him. For one thing, theyre softened up from the Knicks victory, and for another, McIlroy is a counterpuncher, which they respect. Unless, of course, we get into a situation where its McIlroy versus an American like Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka or adopted local boy Cam Young. Then it could get ugly all over again.McIlroys been known to get a little salty at fans, particularly when his round isnt going well. Just last month at the PGA Championship, he pointed out a fan who chanted U-S-A! when McIlroy struggled at Aronimink, and he hasnt been shy about getting in the faces of fans who come at him. But for now, hes playing nice.New York is New York, and they're going to make their voices heard, but that's a good thing, he said. That's a good atmosphere to play in.Of course, thats what hes saying right now. Well see how his head is if Shinnecock pummels him later this week.

Rory McIlroy expressed concern that the "Track Two" events that the PGA Tour is attempting to create in its updated format will become "glorified Korn Ferry events."
