in practice yesterday, nick bosa, how many setups do you have to do to get abs like that? pretty much all day, i think. a lot of fans freaking out about how good or bad lands and the rest of the squad is doing in training camp. head coach kyle shanahan is not one of those people. >> i don't get caught up on the day, i get caught up in the process. even when stuff looks terrible, i am upset, but when you watch the film, it is the kind of the best thing that can happen, because stop will happen eventually and you have to put guys through situations. when everything goes right, it is kind of a fake deal, because it is not going to go right. chris: let's talk college football. the day before training camp for the bears as they get ready for uc davis. justin wilcox is entering his 60's it is head coach -- sixth season as head coach. u.s.c. is announcing their departure to jump to the big ten conference in 2024.

brooklyn after they had wondered at the warriors. so basically, get rid of the guy that i insisted you higher in the first place, ok. the owner later tweeted that he still supports his staff, and there is no way for the brooklyn nets to get equal value for kd, because he is that good. . meanwhile, the warriors are unveiling their new uniforms. this goes back to the run tmc key rack, 1988 to 1997. adding some style there. that is the fashionista. that completes the look. crazy finish in the intermediate little league world series. 13-year-olds in livermore, danville and west, seoul south korea in the final. game over. let's celebrate -- not so fast. first base umpire bama. he called the runner safe. they were celebrating when the ball was still alive. the foot came off the back, but

then the first baseman did touch the base. good night, game over. upon further review, danville wins, they are the intermediate little league champions. i mean, back in the day, who would have thought you would have replayed in little league! and it actually works. maybe better than major league baseball.
