    Former FSU QB Thomas Castellanos Exploring Return to College Football

    Former Florida State Seminoles quarterback Thomas Castellanos plans to explore a return to college football for a fifth season of eligibility, according to On3's Pete Nakos. Castellanos, who went undrafted in the 2026 NFL Draft, is open to playing as a quarterback or 'athlete'. He has played in 38 games across FSU, Boston College, and UCF, throwing for 6,449 yards, 48 touchdowns, and 28 interceptions, while rushing for 1,984 yards and 24 touchdowns. Castellanos' return to Tallahassee seems unlikely due to FSU's full quarterback room, but he could enter the transfer portal and play at a new school.

    DSA Members Sign Pledge Supporting China

    Members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have signed a public pledge to 'support and defend' China, raising concerns about their alignment with a communist state. The pledge, organized by Friends of Socialist China, has been signed by at least 11 DSA members. Critics argue that this action may cross a line into treason, given China's status as a geopolitical foe of the U.S. The DSA represents a significant portion of the Democrat Party, with its leaders reportedly being groomed by the Chinese Communist Party. The pledge praises Chinese socialism and criticizes capitalism, stating that 'the global advance to socialism is indispensable' for humanity's survival.

    Impact of CBA Expiration and Contention on MLB Trade Deadline

    The 2026 MLB trade deadline, set for Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. ET, is approaching with many contenders looking to bolster their rosters. However, the expiration of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and the high number of teams still in playoff contention may limit trading activity. World Series champion Joe Girardi expects sellers to control the market, with teams like the Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants among those likely to trade players. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers, and Tampa Bay Rays are interested in Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, while San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller could also be on the move.
