Paris Saint-Germain defeated Real Madrid 3-1 last night before the "largest soccer crowd ever in Ohio," with 86,641 on hand at the Int'l Champions Cup match in Columbus. Ohio Stadium was an "electric environment not unlike something you'd find for a typical Buckeye home game." After the match, "multiple fans started running onto the field" (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 7/28).

Another ICC match last night drew 44,826 fans to Soldier Field, where AC Milan beat Bayern Munich on penalty kicks. The crowd was "filled with fans of both teams, although largely pro-Bayern." The Bundesliga club's manager, Carlo Ancelotti, said, "It was a beautiful atmosphere. There was a lot of support for Bayern." The game was part of a "blockbuster week" for sports in Chicago that includes a White Sox-Cubs series, Big Ten media days and tomorrow's Venezuela-U.S. basketball exhibition at United Center (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 7/28).

The city of Las Vegas today could "employ a full-court press" to convince a local committee that Cashman Center is the "best place for a 65,000-seat domed football stadium." The Southern Nevada Tourism Infrastructure Committee meets on the UNLV campus at 8:00am PT, and "finding a suitable location" for an NFL stadium is at the "top of the board's agenda." This will be the group's "first meeting" since Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval "agreed to extend the life of the committee" (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 7/27).

adidas this morning "raised its guidance for the fourth time this year, due to gains from the early termination of a partnership" with EPL club Chelsea and "strong quarterly sales." The company said that it "now expected currency-adjusted sales to grow at a percentage rate in 'the high teens,' up from the 15% it had earlier projected." It "forecast that net profit should increase" at a rate of 35-39%, reaching a number between $971.16M-1.1B for the full year. Quarterly earnings will be published Aug. 4 (WSJ.com, 7/28).

Tennessee college athletes today will make the case to a federal appeals court that they "should be paid for the use of their names and images in the big-money college sports industry and on television." The case, which is being argued before the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, is the "latest to present legal questions in the debate over compensating college athletes." A Nashville federal judge dismissed the case last year. The Tennessee group is looking to repoen the case as they "seek a ruling based on federal antitrust law in line with another case in California" (Nashville TENNESSEAN, 7/27).

The Baltimore City Council last night "held its first hearing on a record tax-increment-financing deal" for Under Armour Founder, Chair & CEO Kevin Plank's waterfront Port Covington development. There is a "ton of interest" in this deal as "more than 500 people packed into the War Memorial Building in downtown Baltimore to hear details" (BALTIMORESUN.com, 6/28). A SUN editorial notes in terms of "size, scope and potential to define Baltimore as a city of opportunity, it dwarfs anything that has come before." On this deal, "we need to get to yes. But we're not there yet" (Baltimore SUN, 7/27).

Callaway Golf reported "better-than-expected" Q2 earnings after markets closed yesterday, as "market share gains and the sale of a portion of an investment propelled" the company’s financials. Sales for the quarter were $246M, up from $231M in the year-ago period. Net income was $34M, up from $12.8M in Q2 '15. Callaway President & CEO Chip Brewer notes that this comes as "U.S. sales were weaker for the golf industry overall." The company's Q2 "got a boost from the sale of a portion of its ownership stake in Topgolf" (SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 7/28).

The Buccaneers and social media platform 15 Seconds of Fame today announced a multiyear deal to brings 15SOF's technology and social media app to Raymond James Stadium. 15SOF's platform will allow fans who appear on the stadium's videoboards to receive clips on their smartphones and share them on social media for the first time ever.

Golf Channel’s David Feherty appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” last night, and host Jimmy Fallon told him he was a “big fan.” Feherty: “I love people with low standards.” Feherty said with the Rio Games “coming up, I’m just hoping they don’t drug test announcers.” Feherty: “If they find a performance-enhancing substance for golf, do you know how pissed off I’ll be? I spent 20 years of my life looking for it and there isn’t one. Steroids gives you smaller balls and a worse temper. That’s not going to help you play golf. Amphetamines make you more nervous. Human growth hormone: You can hit it farther into the woods. But the one that I love is deer antlers. ... They‘re worried that one of the players is going to start head-butting another one.”

Feherty said his interview with Donald Trump was “phenomenal” and he “is ‘The Donald.’” Fallon: “It’s not a character, that’s him.” Feherty: “If you ask if that’s who he is, (he’ll say), ‘Yes, that’s who I am and I’ll be the same person tomorrow, possibly worse,’ and you’ve got to love him for that.” When asked if was going to interview Hillary Clinton, Feherty said, “I interviewed her husband and he told me everything about her.” Feherty noted during NBC’s coverage of the Rio Games Opening Ceremony, he will interview President Obama, but “I have no idea why” he was chosen to conduct the Q&A. Feherty: “It’s a great honor” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 7/27).

“I think the logo says Miami. ... Miami is all about flair, it’s all about color, it’s all about just great entertainment – and some hedonism as well" – Marlins President David Samson, on the logo for the '17 All-Star Game at Marlins Park (MIAMI HERALD, 7/28).

"It was something that deserved to be said. I think that's really taking on our platforms as professional athletes and using them the best we can" – Seattle Storm F Breanna Stewart, on WNBA players taking part in the "Black Lives Matter" movement (FOXSPORTS.com, 7/27).

Last night’s “Final Jeopardy!” category was “20th Century English Nobility.”

“In Africa on November 26, 1922, he anxiously asked Howard Carter, ‘Can you see anything?’”

Last night’s edition of “Jeopardy!” featured the category “Baseball.” Host Alex Trebek noted the “video clues were recorded at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where they were having a very special baseball exhibition.”

For $200: “In San Diego on August 4, 2007, Barry Bonds hit this ball 382 feet to tie the all-time home run record of this man, technically.”
For $400: “Here's the ball hit by this Yankee legend who broke a 44-game hitting streak record held by ‘Wee Willie’ Keeler.”
For $600: “No major leaguer will ever again be permanently assigned the number of the jersey worn by this man.”
For $800: “Here's the 1957 MVP Award for this Yankee. But that was a bit of an off year for him. He'd won the Triple Crown the previous year with 18 more home runs and 36 more RBIs.”
For $1,000: “Check out the incredibly rare 1909-11 T206 card of this ‘Flying Dutchman.’ In 2013, one went at auction for $2.1 million.”

NBC’s Fallon said, “Some more bad news for the Olympics in Rio. Apparently some Olympic teams are saying that the athlete housing is unsanitary. There's no hot water and there's a failing sewage system. When they heard that, New Yorkers were like, ‘How much is the rent?’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 7/27).

Last night’s edition of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” featured a recurring segment called “Three Things You Might Not Know.” The three things you might not know about the Rio Games were as follows: They will be “broadcast simultaneously on NBC and WebMD,” the most “anticipated part of the Opening Ceremony is the ‘Unfurling of the Giant Mosquito Net’” and the “water quality in Rio has just been downgraded from ‘toxic sludge’ to ‘hot tub on ‘The Bachelorette’’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 7/27).

Last night’s edition of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” featured sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez playing soccer against USWNT F Alex Morgan. Host Jimmy Kimmel said, “The great American soccer player has joined Team Chobani. And to show you how Chobani Greek Yogurt is helping athletes to achieve greatness, our very own Guillermo faced off against Alex in what many are calling the most lopsided match in the history of sports” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 7/27). Watch the full segment on ABC.com.

“Who is Lord Carnarvon?”

Correct responses to the “Baseball” category:

$200: “Who is Hank Aaron?”
$400: “Who is Joe DiMaggio?”
$600: “Who is Jackie Robinson?”
$800: “Who is Mickey Mantle?”
$1,000: “Who is Honus Wagner?”
