Harris Yulin was one of those actors you would recognize, but never quite know his name. His devout fans certainly would, but for most, Harris was one of those actors who embodied his part fully and gave his all to each role he had. Besides a career that lasted over 50 years, Harris got his start in theatre. He appeared in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Richard III in the 1960s before his screen debut in 1970.

Packers HC bothered by rookie's 'unacceptable' behavior during preseason game
Green Bay Packers right tackle Anthony Belton had a forgettable first half against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday when he committed five penalties in the first half. The rookie was called for a false start, two illegal formation penalties, a face mask and unnecessary roughness. Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was peeved by the unnecessary roughness penalty, which the second-round pick was called for when he pushed Colts cornerback Johnathan Edwards from behind after the play. Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, LaFleur "let Belton have it" at halftime. Following the game, LaFleur explained to the media why that behavior bothers him — it hurts the team. “That’s the one that really bothers me because that is — I mean, they all bother me — but you can’t be getting personal fouls because that really hurts the team, puts you in a really tough position,” LaFleur said. “That is completely unacceptable in my mind. I appreciate the effort that he plays with and I thought he did a really nice job … I love the effort. It’s just, you got to be smart in those situations.” Belton's penalties were costly for the Packers. One of the illegal formation flags took away what would have been a touchdown pass from quarterback Taylor Elgersma to tight end Ben Sims. The 15-yard penalty on the unnecessary roughness call turned a manageable 3rd-and-5 into a 3rd-and-20. Saturday's preseason game is a learning experience for the 2023 third-team All-ACC offensive lineman. The Packers can't have Belton on the field if he's going to commit that many penalties, and the unnecessary roughness mistake would have been easy to avoid.
Dallas Cowboys' top-rated players for NFL preseason Week 2 vs. Ravens
A 31-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens dropped the Dallas Cowboys to 0-2 this preseason. While the records don't matter, it's still unsettling to see the Cowboys lose a game in such fashion. As was the case in their Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Cowboys were bullied at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. They also saw quarterback Joe Milton III continue to struggle with accuracy. The good news, however, was that several players stood out with solid individual play. Here's a look at which Cowboys graded the highest on offense and defense, according to PFF. Cowboys top-5 rated players on offense Princeton Fant, TE (83.4) Malik Davis, RB (74.6) Jonathan Mingo, WR (70.3) Deuce Vaughn, RB (67.1) John Stephens Jr., TE (66.2) The offense was responsible for just six points, but there were still some bright spots. Princeton Fant had a 33-yard reception and held his own in blocking. Malik Davis showed some burst when he was on the field, and Jonathan Mingo had an excellent catch to set up a field goal. Unfortunately, Mingo was injured on the play but has been one of the bright spots throughout the offseason. Cowboys top-5 rated players on defense Andrew Booth, CB (91.8) Troy Pride Jr., CB (83.8) Jack Sanborn, LB (79.2) Earnest Brown IV, DT (76.7) Kemon Hall, CB (75.6) Andrew Booth not only led the way on defense, but was the highest-graded player on the team. Two other cornerbacks, Troy Pride Jr. and Kemon Hall, made it into the top five as well. Linebacker Jack Sanborn and defensive tackle Earnest Brown IV were there as well. Sanborn had three tackles while Brown recorded two. —
Former UFL MVP Bryce Perkins signs with NFL team
Reigning UFL MVP Bryce Perkins has parlayed his success into an NFL job. Perkins, a former Arizona State and Virginia quarterback, is signing with the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move comes with Panthers backup Andy Dalton dealing with an elbow injury. Perkins won UFL MVP for the Michigan Panthers this past season, throwing for 1,342 yards and rushing for 269 more in seven games. He was a key factor as Michigan reached the UFL championship game. This will not be the first time Perkins has garnered some time on an NFL roster. He spent three seasons on the Los Angeles Rams roster as a depth quarterback, and even played in five games during the 2022 season as the Rams were hit hard by injuries. The 28-year-old dual-threat quarterback is the latest in a group of players who have raised their profiles with success in one of the various football leagues that are played in the NFL offseason. PJ Walker turned a successful stint in the XFL into four NFL seasons. Notably, the Panthers were the ones who signed Walker out of the XFL as well. Dalton suffered a right elbow injury during Saturday’s preseason game against the Houston Texans. It is unclear how serious the injury is, but the Panthers are concerned enough that they wanted to shore up their quarterback depth.
Sooners HC Brent Venables gave fans the perfect news they needed after having some PTSD from an eerie 2024 situation
We all remember what happened last season – the Oklahoma Sooners had maybe the worst injury luck of any team in the entire country last year. I’m sure I don’t have to remind you all, but let me know another team that had their best five receivers out all at the same time. And that was just the beginning of it for Brent Venables. The offensive line dealt with so many injuries, too, so much so that they never had the same combination of a starting five more than one or two times last year. Every week, it was a new guy starting, and every week, those injuries showed their biggest impact on the team. There was no cohesion at all. On the defensive side of the ball, it wasn’t as bad, but they still dealt with injuries in their secondary and in the linebacker room. Sure, these injuries provided some good members and learning experiences for the Sooners, but ultimately, it’s one of the biggest reasons they were as bad as they were. In 2025, that simply can’t happen. So, you can see why fans are starting to freak out with some of the things we are hearing coming out of fall camp. Sooners are all good on the injury front We have heard so many things about players like Eli Bowen and others who haven’t been full participants in fall camp. For Bowen, he’s dealt with a foot injury and hasn’t really done anything in fall camp. Then there are the two Gibson receivers, whom you can say the same about. Some of the offensive line have dealt with injuries in fall camp, as well as Jayden Ott at running back, and a few other skill positions players, enough to make them miss a few practices. So, yes, fans started to get worried, because why wouldn’t they after what happened last season? They have PTSD. According to reporters on-site at fall camp, Venables told them all during a media scrum that the injuries they have are all just some bumps and bruises here and there. Their health as a team is “good.” And, that’s the perfect update for fans of the Sooners.
