Washington’s All-Star point guard recently hit back at the criticism from media members, and his teammate Marcin Gortat, for saying that the Wizards don’t need Wall to find success. “They say what they say. I know what I do, and what I bring to a team," Wall said on “SportsCenter” on Tuesday. “I know I’m a team player. I average almost 10 assists a game — I’m very prideful, and finding my teammates and getting these guys easy shots....

The endorsement of Biden from the New Hampshire Union Leader came as President Donald Trump heads to the Eastern state on Sunday to rally supporters there. The newspaper, which was established after the merger of two Manchester papers in 1913, had previously only endorsed Republican presidential candidates until 2016, when it backed Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson—the former GOP governor of New Mexico. The Union Leader is New Hampshire’s largest newspaper and the only paper circulated statewide....

The administration had planned to restart repayment requirements for federal student loans and federally-held student loans from February 1, but there has been widespread anger about the plan and criticism from some Democrats. A spokesperson for the Department of Education indicated in a statement on Tuesday the department was considering extending the interest-free payment pause, with a decision possible as early as this week. “Since day one of the Biden administration, we’ve been hard at work delivering meaningful relief to student loan borrowers,” the statement said....

The latest CBS News/YouGov poll released Sunday found presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Biden leading Trump overall by six percentage points in Florida (48 percent to 42 percent), trailing Trump by one point in Texas (45 percent to 46 percent), and tied with the president in Arizona (46 percent). Trump won all three states in 2016, but has only maintained a lead over Biden in those states among just two demographics: men and white voters without a college degree....

Speaking to the crowd in Rockville, Maryland, Biden frequently mentioned his predecessor Donald Trump and his MAGA loyalists while suggesting that voters must decide in November whether they want a country that “moves forward or backward.” Biden added that he believes the U.S. is at an “inflection point,” which occurs every few generations, and voters must now decide which direction they want to go in. “Will we build a future or obsess over the past?...

According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 6.4 million American households were behind on rent by the end of March. As of July 5, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey reported roughly 3.6 million people in the U.S. were facing eviction within the next two months. Biden called on “Congress to extend the eviction moratorium to protect such vulnerable renters and their families without delay.” The Supreme Court ruled against allowing further extensions of the moratorium, which the Biden administration cited as its reason for being unable to extend it without Congress’ approval....

That’s about the only positive to be found in Geno Smith’s season-ending ACL tear. STEELE: Fitzpatrick reeks of entitlement Legendary Jets quarterback Joe Namath prematurely criticized Smith during Sunday’s win over the Ravens as the quarterback stood on the sideline in the second half with a knee injury. He asked, “How bad can it be?” Pretty bad, as we learned Monday. Whoops. Namath issued his apology to Smith via Twitter on Tuesday....

Pavelski suffered the injury when he took a check from Vegas forward Cody Eakin and subsequent contact from Paul Stastny before hitting his head on the ice during San Jose’s Game 7 win in their first-round series over the Golden Knights. He was left bloody on the ice before being helped off by teammates. Eakin was assessed a five-minute cross-checking major for the hit. Pavelski disagreed with the penalty call....

The company was sold earlier this month to WME-IMG; Fertitta will no longer be with the company but White is staying on. Due partly to the latter staying, so will Rogan.

And now we’ve seen a traditional favorite, not just from the Combine and not just from the NFL: the prospects being compared only to players of their own race. To be perfectly clear (and fair to Ian Rapoport), he was relaying somebody else’s comment. Somebody whose job it is to evaluate future NFL players in extreme detail … and who uses the laziest, most superficial description possible.

“I think that’s one of those race tracks that will probably be fairly negative toward me,” Logano said at a tire test Tuesday at Richmond (via NASCAR.com). “But you know, I guess over the years there are only certain people that know who I really am. I don’t really take that stuff too personal. I know there’s only one person who can judge me. So I don’t get worried about it....

As for the director himself, while he’s known almost exclusively for some legendary movies, he’s also a keen gamer. In fact, it was just last year when John Carpenter said he would like to make a Dead Space film. However, this wasn’t him admitting that one was currently being made. It was more something he would hypothetically be interested in, and it would make sense if he were to direct an adaptation, as the game and the director’s previous work go hand in hand in terms of their body horror themes....

Denver’s general manager intended to thank coach John Fox, who mutually parted ways with the team on Monday, but ended up thanking himself. Literally.

First off, sincere apologies to the Batman fandom out there, if I have in any way hurt your sentimental feelings by producing an alternate version of a historic quote to be used as a title for this article.
