Westerholm Twins Join Vålerenga
Westerholm-tvillingene (34) har signert for Vålerenga og kommer med imponerende meritter fra SHL og finsk eliteserie. Sportssjef Morten Ask bekrefter at klubben har fulgt tvillingene lenge og var offensive da de ble tilgjengelige.
Med SM-gull og Champions Hockey League i sin merittliste, har brødrene levert på toppnivå i over ti år. De ankom Oslo i helgen og gjennomførte sin første trening med Vålerenga mandag. Ifølge Ponthus Westerholm var samtaler med Henrik Larsson avgjørende for valget. tbzikra.com

George Lombard Jr. made a memorable MLB debut by hitting a 392-foot homer in the fifth inning off Hunter Dobbins, giving the Yankees a 2-0 lead. At 21 years old, the shortstop became the sixth-youngest Yankees player since 1985 to debut and helped Ryan Weathers pitch six strong innings.

A.J. Epenesa not inclined to discuss "weird situation" with Browns
Before Eagles defensive end A.J. Epenesa landed in Philadelphia, he had a one-year deal worth up to $5 million in place with the Browns. Until he didn't.
The Browns pulled out of the agreement, due to concerns regarding his physical.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Epenesa didn't want to say much about the Browns. He made it clear that he's happy to be with the Eagles.
"Cleveland, you know, it was a weird situation," Epenesa told reporters. "But I don't necessarily want to go back and talk on that in just a weird sense but I'll just leave that in the past and just be happy that I'm not a Brown and that I'm an Eagle."
Is Epenesa healthy now?
"Very healthy," he said, "feeling good, and happy to be here."
His contract with the Eagles pays much less than his contract with the Browns would have entailed — one year, $1.402 million.
A second-round pick in 2020, Epenesa spent his first six seasons with the Bills.
