NFL
The Dallas Cowboys left Frisco Monday for their home away from home, Oxnard, California. With no traditional training camp last year due to COVID-19, the Cowboys were forced to hold camp at the Star in Frisco, with no fans. As a result, this camp will be the first traditional Cowboys camp for second-year coach Mike McCarthy. His team dealt with many injuries on defense and a rotating door at quarterback last year, finishing the year 6-10 and in third place of the NFC East.
Oakland City Council members voted 6-1. It favored a nonbinding term sheet for the Oakland Athletics’ proposed waterfront ballpark on Tuesday. However, the session ended with confusion about whether negotiations between the city and the team would continue.
OLYMPICS
Cat Osterman looked ahead, not behind, at the start of the United States’ quest to regain the Olympic softball gold medal, 13 years after losing the championship game.
