Gvardiol becomes the second City defender to commit his future this week, following Abdukodir Khusanov's new deal.Since joining from RB Leipzig in 2023, Gvardiol has developed into one of City's most important players. Comfortable at both centre-back and left-back, he has made 122 appearances, scored 13 goals and helped the club win six major trophies, including the Premier League and FIFA Club World Cup.The new contract comes after speculation linking Gvardiol with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Instead, the Croatian has reaffirmed his commitment to City as they continue to reshape their defence following the departures of John Stones and Nathan Ak ahead of the new campaign.

Why Marlins manager Clayton McCullough compared teams 12-game losing streak to The Odyssey originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Marlins were one of the biggest surprises in baseball, until they weren't.Miami went from 10 games under .500 and in playoff position to under .500 in an instant, losing 12 consecutive games after a dominant June. For manager Clayton McCullough, the journey was a reflection of one taken by Matt Damon.McCullough compared his experience during the team's losing streak to that of Odysseus in "The Odyssey," taking a lighthearted approach before the Marlins snapped the skid with a comeback win over the Phillies on Monday.Here's a look at why McCullough compared the Marlins' losing streak to "The Odyssey."MORE:16 players who could be traded by MLB deadlineClayton McCollough compares Marlins' losing streak to The OdysseyMcCullough told reporters he recently saw "The Odyssey" in theaters on an off day and found that Odysseus' journey mirrors his own in some ways."I feel a bit like Odysseus," McCullough said. "Like I'm away from home for 10 years. At some point, I'm going to return home. I don't know what baseball god I infuriated, but it's where we're at, so today is an opportunity.""Home," in this case, is the win column, and it's where McCullough and the Marlins returned on Monday when they overcame a ninth-inning deficit to walk-off the Phillies.Christopher Nolan might disagree that what the Marlins have been through directly mirrors what Odysseus endured during an arduous decade-long journey. Then again, McCullough had to watch his team lose 11 of those 12 games by three runs or fewer, six of which they led at some point. Odysseus couldn't say the same.MORE:Why the Tigers should (and shouldn't) trade Tarik SkubalMarlins losing streakThe Marlins were the talk of baseball after a terrific month of June, at one point reaching 10 games over .500 and moving into postseason position, but the wheels have fallen off in July.Miami was swept by the Guardians going into the All-Star break and couldn't get out of that rut in the three series that followed, suffering sweeps at the hands of the Brewers, Astros and Padres. Most games were close the Marlins only lost by more than three runs only once in that span, but their bullpen struggled to hold leads and their offense grinded to a halt.After seeing an early 5-2 lead slip away against the Phillies, it looked like the streak would be extended to 13. The Marlins instead rallied to load the bases with no outs and won after RBI singles by Heriberto Hernandez and Griffin Conine.GRIFFIN CONINE. BALLGAME. pic.twitter.com/tHJCmfZILU Miami Marlins (@Marlins) July 28, 2026Just like that, McCullough's long odyssey is over. The Marlins have plans to add on."As far as what this does, pressure's off," Conine said after his walk-off hit. "Now, we're on a winning streak. Now, we want more of it. So it's like forget the last two weeks and move on. I think we can learn from it, and I think that we will."McCullough told reporters everyone in the clubhouse is "feeling much different" than they did before the game and said winning the series is the team's next goal.Because the Diamondbacks lost Monday, the Marlins only find themselves two games out of a wild-card spot in the National League and could try to make another push after a report that they don't plan to trade any of their core pieces at the deadline.

A long era has come to an end for the Baltimore Ravens, as the franchise is set to embark upon its first season in nearly two decades without John Harbaugh as the head coach.Harbaugh took over as coach in 2008, leading the Ravens to the postseason in 12 of the 18 years he was in charge, including one Super Bowl win. Despite his long-term success in Baltimore, whispers of locker room issues and a losing season that kept the organization out of the playoffs brought an end to his tenure. Now, with a fresh face taking over in Jesse Minter, what is the ceiling (and the floor) for the Baltimore Ravens in 2026?Ceiling: 13-4Jesse Minter has been the architect of several elite defenses at both the college and NFL level for Jim Harbaugh, the brother of the man he is replacing. He also has one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL in Lamar Jackson. The Ravens won 13 games in 2023 and 12 games in 2024, and if Minter is up for the task as the head coach and he gets his defense right early, the Ravens could be right back at that level again this season.Floor: 8-9With a first-time head coach in place, there is no guarantee that things will go smoothly for Baltimore this year. And while Lamar Jackson is an elite talent, he has also dealt with injuries periodically throughout his career. In a world where Minter isn't ready for this level of responsibility, and Jackson struggles with injuries, the Ravens could struggle. It likely won't get worse than last year, but they could fail to take a step forward as well.This article originally appeared on Touchdown Wire: What is the ceiling (and floor) for the Baltimore Ravens in 2026?

The Official World Golf Ranking has been updated for the week of July 28, 2026 with Scottie Scheffler earning the title of the planet's best player. After his fifth runner-up finish of the season, Scheffler's lead on No. 2 has strengthened even more. Meanwhile, LIV Golf's Lucas Herbert has moved into the top 50 after his record victory in the UK. The OWGR system is calculated by awarding points from eligible tours and events to participating players over a rolling two-year period. Players are ranked weekly based on the amount of points they earn divided by the number of events they played in to reach an average total. Points hold their full value for a 13-week period and are then reduced in equal decrements. The current ranking for the Top 50 golfers in the world appear below.
