Qualifying for the knockout stages of Copa America just got a lot harder as U.S. men's national team winger Tim Weah was red-carded in only the 17th minute of play vs. Panama on Thursday in a game the Americans lost 2-1. Weah was sent off following a VAR review due to striking Roderick Miller during the match. It was a reckless moment from Weah as Panama were playing a game to wind up the USMNT and he fell for it. It's the first time a USMNT player was sent off in a major tournament since Michael Orozco in the third-placed game of the 2016 Copa America but it follows Sergino Dest's nations league red card in levels of poor decisions.

After an expected victory over Bolivia in their first Copa America Group C match on June 23, the United States Men’s National Team fell 2-1 to fellow CONCACAF rivals Panama last Thursday evening. It was a red card to winger Tim Weah that did much to seal the US’s fate.

Mexico’s Copa América hopes are already on the brink after a 1-0 defeat to Venezuela on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
El Tri began the Copa with an encouraging, yet damaging 1-0 win over Jamaica. Gerardo Arteaga’s late winner was exhilarating, but the victory also saw captain Edson Álvarez go down with a tournament-ending hamstring injury.
Still, there was a sense of optimism for Mexico heading into Wednesday’s game. In 13 games against Venezuela all time, Mexico had never lost, winning 10 of those matches.
Mexican newspaper Record ran a headline ahead of the game that put it succinctly: “Venezuela, I am your father.”

The Knicks extended their two-way qualifying offer to Toppin on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports. Toppin was a non-factor for the Knicks last season, during which he averaged 1.4 points and 0.8 rebounds across 4.2 minutes in nine regular-season games. However, the 24-year-old averaged 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 blocks across 36.7 minutes per game with the team's G League affiliate. Toppin has shown promise, but he will likely not see a significant uptick in NBA playing time next season.

The Pistons didn't extend Flynn a $5.81 million qualifying offer Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Flynn notably dropped 50 points off the bench in an April 3 game Atlanta, but that was essentially the only highlight of his season. All told, the 26-year-old averaged 5.5 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds across 12.7 minutes in 69 regular-season games while bouncing around between the Raptors, Knicks and Pistons. Flynn will look to catch on elsewhere in free agency as a reserve guard.

USA were left dumbfounded in their backyard as they were nipped 2-1 by a plucky Panama team to leave their quarter-final hopes in the balance of the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024 at the Mercedes-Benz on Thursday. Folarin Balogun, in his second start of the tournament, collected a neat give-and-go with Antonee Robinson; Balogun caressed the return pass expertly before slamming home a left-footed shot from the left side for a 1-0 lead. César Blackman restored parity with a right-footed shot from outside the box through a sea of white shirts to the bottom right corner past a stunned Matt Turner, assisted by Huston Dynamo’s Adalberto Carrasquilla. José Fajardo drove the final nail in USA's coffin with a well-taken right-footed shot to seal a 2-1 victory.

In a match that saw the American’s play down a man for over 70’ minutes thanks to a brutal decision by Tim Weah early in the match that tipped the field in Panama’s favor for the remainder of the contest it could be hard to judge the quality. Frankly, there was not much to be seen as the US seemed happy to concede possession throughout and they struggled greatly on the few occasions where they did have the ball. Three subs at halftime, including an injury substitution for starting goalkeeper Matt Turner further complicated the situation. A late goal to Panama means that the US will need to play for the win against Uruguay on Monday in hopes of advancing in the Copa America as Panama was happy to concede fouls to prevent the US from finding an equalizer.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Suter will be bought out of the last year of his contract by the Stars, Jeff Marek of Sportsnet reports Thursday. Suter is still on the books for the Wild after they previously bought out his contract and will now potentially be costing three different clubs cap space -- assuming he signs elsewhere when the free-agent window opens Monday. During his three-year stint with the Stars, the veteran defenseman played all 246 regular-season games, in which he tallied 12 goals and 62 assists. Given his age, the Madison, Wisconsin native could also opt to hang up his skates rather than extend his career.
