At the first rookie minicamp practice, the first-round pick impressed both on and off the field. Dart commanded the offense with confidence, showcased a strong arm, and carried himself like a seasoned pro. He connected on 8 of 10 passes in 7-on-7 drills, made smart decisions under pressure, and displayed calm poise that belied his inexperience. Even before stepping onto the field, Dart showed leadership. After receiving the play script Thursday night, he organized a walkthrough with his offensive teammates on the…

While the judges’ scorecards — 115-113, 116-112, and 119-109 — clearly favored the Mexican superstar, Scull remains adamant that he should have walked away victorious.

Arsenal’s long wait for European glory goes on. Despite a brave, often breathless performance in the City of Light, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday night, falling 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes and 3-1 on aggregate.
