WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) After taking part in John Harbaugh's first training camp practice with the New York Giants last week, Jaxson Dart did not want to make too many premature judgements about the veteran coach's demeanor, which he expects to evolve with time.One thing the second-year quarterback has picked up over the past several months is Harbaugh's mentality.He just wants to, obviously, win, Dart said. He's got a chip on his shoulder.So does Dart, who chalks it up to his rookie year not going well. The Giants lost eight of his first 12 NFL starts, finished 4-13 and after an offseason of organizational upheaval, he is determined to avoid a repeat losing performance.That process starts in camp, where this time Dart is the undisputed starter at football's most important position, a long way from taking second- and third-team snaps behind Russell Wilson and sometimes even Jameis Winston a year ago. At 23, he's still young and inexperienced and leaning into those facts.Theres a lot that Ive got to still learn, Dart said. Im trying to keep everything around me simple: from the things that I give my attention to, to my daily (practice and) study habits. Thats just me trying to continue to grow because I saw what it was like last year for a tough season. It was new for my career, and I want to make sure that doesnt happen again.Also new for Dart are incoming offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, QBs coach Brian Callahan and a host of new wide receivers.With Nagy's arrival comes a system that is different from the one Mike Kafka ran last season while in that job and after taking over as interim coach when Brian Daboll was fired. Such a big change early in Dart's career provides another challenge, though it's one general manager Joe Schoen pointed out that Chicago's Caleb Williams and New England's Drake Maye handled smoothly.The lack of continuity makes it difficult to handicap expectations, though the Giants have high hopes for Dart regardless of who's calling the plays.Just continue to build off of last season," Schoen said. He played at a high level throughout last season, so, (we hope to) continue to see him to ascend. Really good staff, really good plan, scheme in place and excited for his Year 2 and how he does."Dart as a rookie completed 63.7% of his passes for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. He also ran for 487 yards and nine TDs and took a few big hits along the way including one that concussed and sidelined him for two games.Growing every day is how Dart answered a question about what he expects of himself, and that includes better risk-reward decisions that a lot of mobile quarterbacks figure out (or don't) along the way.With Nagy in charge, it also means more plays under center instead of out of a shotgun formation. That adjustment is ongoing."Its been something that weve really pushed and really got a ton of reps at this offseason," Dart said. There are a few things mechanically that are different. Probably just the biggest thing is a little bit of footwork landmarks in the pocket. (But) Im feeling really good with the track that were on, and Im feeling comfortable.That comfort is slowly building with new wideouts like Odell Beckham Jr., Calvin Austin, Darnell Mooney and JuJu Smith-Schuster. A similar familiarization process is also needed with Malik Nabers, who went down with a torn ACL in his right knee less than one full half into Dart's first start on Sept. 28.Dart said he and Nabers talked and watched a lot of video over the past few months, which he hopes will help the two establish a strong on-field rapport quickly when New York's No. 1 receiver is fully healthy.Being the face of the franchise and the leadership responsibilities that come with playing QB also make it incumbent on Dart to interact with teammates everywhere on the roster. His coach likes what he has seen so far in that department.Hes a charismatic guy, but he wants to win and he expects everybody else to want to win, Harbaugh said. Weve got a bunch of guys that respond, but also a bunch of guys that feel the same way, so I just think hes got a good relationship with the guys.___AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

Credit: MICHAEL CLUBB/SOUTH BEND TRIBUNE / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesAfter efforts from longtime rivals Notre Dame and USC to sell a neutral-site game to Netflix fell apart last year, the two schools could not find a path forward to schedule each other, leaving the series on hiatus.According to ESPNs Pete Thamel, that hiatus wont last long.Per Thamel, the Fighting Irish and Trojans will renew their rivalry via a home-and-home series starting in 2030. The first game will be played in Los Angeles with a return game scheduled for South Bend the following season.NEWS: USC and Notre Dame will renew their rivalry, with the series starting again in 2030. Theyll meet Week 1 in LA that year and play Week 1 in South Bend the next year. Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) August 3, 2026In May, theLos Angeles Times first reported that Notre Dame and USC were still in active talks to renew the rivalry, with one major sticking point being USCs desire to play earlier in the season rather than in its traditional October or November slot. Ultimately, USC got its wish, and the games will be played in Week 1 of the 2030 and 2031 seasons. The deal, which will also include matchups in 2032 and 2033, did not specify when the last two games will be played.One could presume that Fox, the lead broadcast partner for the Big Ten, would be in line to broadcast the 2030 contest in Southern California in what would be the final season of the conferences current media rights agreements. The 2031 game in South Bend is theoretically up for grabs; NBCs current broadcast deal with Notre Dame expires following the 2029 season, though the network has partnered with the Fighting Irish in every season since 1991.Media rights were central to the rivalry series going on hiatus in the first place. Last September, when reports first surfaced that the teams had approached Netflix about selling the games broadcast rights to the streamer, networks balked at losing such a valuable matchup. The workaround, as we recently saw Duke basketball implement to mixed success in a deal with Prime Video, was to schedule the game at a neutral site, where neither teams media partners had contractual rights to telecast it.That didnt pan out, and now the two teams are left with a four-year gap between games, ending what was a 78-year streak (excluding the pandemic-impacted 2020 season) of matchups.The post Notre Dame, USC to renew rivalry in 2030 after failed neutral-site talks with Netflix appeared first on Awful Announcing.

NFL training camps are underway and soon we'll be into fantasy football draft season. We've already had plenty of impactful news coming out of camp, most notably on the injury front with the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners have already lost WR Ricky Pearsall to season-ending knee surgery while TE George Kittle remains sidelined and on the PUP list. As a result, San Francisco brought back veteran WR Deebo Samuel Sr. to add some depth behind newly-signed Mike Evans and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling. Those three should hold down the fort until Kittle is 100%. Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL seasonBut this has been the theme for the 49ers a failure to stay healthy on offense.
