Win or lose, any football game is sure to include some standout individual performances.
Luckily for us, the Jacksonville Jaguars obliterated the Cleveland Browns in Week 1, and there are plenty of game ****** to pass around.
Trevor Lawrence threw 4 touchdowns; Parker Washington had the coolest one of them; Foye Oluokun logged an interception and another pass breakup; Ventrell Miller had a team-high 9 tackles plus a sack and a forced fumble; and Josh Hines-Allen stuffed the stat sheet with 5 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery (on different plays!).
After the final whistle, we asked Jaguars fans to pick Big Cat Country's Player of the Week.
81% of voters chose Trevor Lawrence.

The lights at TDECU Stadium briefly went out with less than two minutes left in the first half of Saturday's game between the University of Houston and Southern.
After a brief delay, game officials opted to continue the game in semi-dark conditions as the sun began to set around 7:32 p.m.
The scoreboard and video ribbons around the stadium continued to function.
Power was restored shortly thereafter. The outage was due to a power surge, per school officials.

Shaneil Buckely scored once and **** isted another to lead No. 18 Florida State soccer to a 2-2 tie with North Carolina State in both programs' ACC opener at Seminole Soccer Complex on Friday, Sep. 11.
The Seminoles (4-1-2) twice came back from a goal down to earn the draw, with Buckley at the heart of it.
FSU trailed 1-0 almost immediately, as Erica Roberts scored the opener for the Wolfpack in the second minute. Roberts cut off the right wing, dribbled inside, and launched a shot from outside the box that arrowed into the top left corner.
FSU trailed for 20 minutes before Buckley sent in a cross from the right wing to find a leaping Wrianna Hudson, who headed home her third goal of the season to tie the game at one. Despite chances on both ends, the game remained tied going into halftime.
While it took longer than the opening goal of the game, the Wolfpack regained the lead quickly in the second half thanks to a 57th-minute goal from Daisy Duda. She bent a ball across the penalty area and into the top left corner to put NC State ahead 2-1.

Paige Bueckers sends Team USA message after Italy scare at FIBA World Cup originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After flirting with disaster against Italy, United States star Paige Bueckers chose to look on the bright side while acknowledging the Americans had a few things to polish in order to win a fifth consecutive FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup.
"To be challenged like this early, for our group, I think it's great for us in the long run," Bueckers told reporters Sunday after Team USA held off Italy, 55-52, in the second of three group games.
"Long run" is a relative term; the World Cup ends next Sunday, one way or another.

As the calendar flips to September, we're officially in the quiet zone of the NBA year. Not much will go on until the final days of the month. All of the major offseason moves have already happened. Teams across the league enjoy some serenity before the marathon starts back up again.
The Oklahoma City Thunder will enter the 2026-27 season as co-title favorites — alongside the San Antonio Spurs. Even with their offseason departures, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren should keep them in the middle of the ***** le hunt.
With nothing else happening, Thunder Wire will regularly conduct Thunder Mailbags over the remainder of the offseason. In this edition, a social media user asked in the DMs — could Alex Caruso's regular-season role change with so many departures?
The Thunder added Caruso in a rare one-for-one player trade with the Chicago Bulls in June 2024. It was one of two offseason moves made that summer that signaled their readiness to take the next step as a serious ***** le contender. Safe to say the win-now move paid off. OKC won the 2025 NBA championship in his first year there and almost won another this past year.
In those two playoff runs, Caruso has been one of OKC's five most important players. Especially when you compare his pedestrian regular-season numbers. He's averaged 6.6 points on 43.3% shooting, 2.9 rebounds and 2.2 ***** ists in the regular season. He's shot 32.2% from 3. And in the playoffs, those numbers jump up to 9.9 points on 46.2% shooting, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 ***** ists. He's shot 42.7% from 3.

The Arizona Cardinals announced the completion of their 17-player practice squad. As expected, they signed cornerback D'Shawn Jamison after he had a visit on Wednesday.
Jamison is a 5-10, 185-pound cornerback who has been in the league since 2023, when he signed with the San Francisco 49ers as a rookie free agent out of Texas. He has spent time with the 49ers, Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers. We have more about him in the original report.
The Cardinals now have a full practice squad, and it likely won't change before the season opener, unless someone gets hurt and creates a need for a particular position.
Here is the full practice squad for the Cardinals:

You can find wisdom in the most unexpected places. Even watching Michael Scott attempt to run a successful sales team on The Office offers a valuable lesson IDP managers can appreciate. Every offseason, we are searching for trends, evaluating production and asking the same question:
"Who is actually good, and who just looks busy?"
It is a fair question, and one that applies perfectly to IDP fantasy football. The 2025 fantasy football season provided plenty of valuable lessons for defensive player managers. While raw fantasy points tell us who finished as a top producer, the underlying numbers often explain why those players succeeded and which trends could shape future seasons.
From the decline of every-down linebackers to the continued importance of green-dot defenders and tackle efficiency, several themes stood out throughout the year leading up to this offseason and Real IDP Hunter has you covered.
Here are some things that stood out in the 2025 season that should translate into this season.

The Green Bay Packers' initial 53-man roster entering the 2026 season has been finalized, and it contains an oddity in that Green Bay opted to keep seven defensive tackles.
That is more than they have rostered in Brian Gutekunst's tenure as general manager and the most since 2013. It is a different world from where the Packers were a year ago, as the defensive tackle position looked thin entering the season and was decimated by the end of it.
The fact they have decided to keep so many this time around is perhaps a consequence of wanting to avoid such a situation again, but it is more so a testament to the work done to fortify the room this offseason, as well as some impressive growth by various preexisting players.
Javon Hargrave via free agency and Chris McClellan were the headline additions and along with Devonte Wyatt and Karl Brooks, made the position look stronger.
Beyond those four, no one else was certain of a roster spot entering training camp. In the end, so many other players impressed that the Packers had no choice but to keep seven.

Aug. 29—GRAND FORKS — High school recruiting has traditionally been the lifeblood of college athletics.
The advent of NIL (name, image, likeness) payments and the transfer portal hasn't changed that. Yet for some basketball teams in the Summit League, the new variables are transforming how coaches recruit high school athletes.
"High school is incredibly important," Oral Roberts coach Kory Barnett said. "It's huge for you to be able to still build out that one, two, three years of getting to know a kid and the ones that really fit you. That's incredibly important. But with where the portal stands ... you have to be ready to adjust."
Coaches nationwide face massive attrition from season to season. UND, for example, will enter 2026-27 with just three returning players. North Dakota State lost eight players to the transfer portal.
Each spring, programs are forced to rebuild on the fly. The portal provides myriad options, with players entering from every division of college basketball.

NEW YORK - Cam Schlittler likes the big stage, and don't the Red Sox know it.
Eleven months ago, Schlittler entered pinstriped lore by blanking Boston over eight scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts, advancing the Yankees to the AL Division Series in a wild card elimination game.
On Friday night, Schlittler (11-6, 2.16 ERA) gets the ball to open an important, four-game series at Yankee Stadium against the rival Red Sox, the team he grew up rooting for in Walpole, Mass.
He'll be opposed by Patrick Sandoval (1-2, 4.54), as the Yankees are due to face a spate of lefties after a long run against right-handed starters.
It'll be interesting to see how Yanks manager Aaron Boone plays it this weekend, with a hot-hitting lefty in Luis Garcia Jr., and with lefty-hitting second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. lately picking up steam.

Royals A Lot Blue Jays Not Much
That was bad right from the start. Spencer Arrighetti gave up two runs in the first (one in a game opening home run) and two runs in the second. He ended up going four innings, with four runs (three earned, Arrighetti made the error), five hits, two walks and four strikeouts. He did show some good pitches at times, but when he was hit, he was hit hard.
Braydon Fisher pitched a scoreless inning.
Simeon Woods Richardson had just an awful inning, giving up five hits, six earned, 2 walks, with one strikeout. I'd say it was like pitching batting practice, but I think you'd want better pitches in BP.
Michael Lorenzen got into his first game with the Jays, giving up three hits, one earned, one walk, with two strikeouts in two innings.

Bob Myers gets real about how LeBron James picked the hardest path by signing with Philly originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
One of the biggest storylines of the 2026 offseason was definitely LeBron James' next destination. He decided to exit the Los Angeles Lakers, so almost every team in the league wanted to sign him. Despite the fact that he is 41, no one truly cared because they wanted the four-time Finals MVP.
Amid all the interest, James joined the Philadelphia 76ers. After seeing them trade for Jaylen Brown, it was already a loaded team, but they managed to land James. Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment's Bob Myers, formerly of the Golden State Warriors, was integral to sealing the deal to get Bron to the City of Brotherly Love.
Throughout his career, James has made a lot of smart decisions when it comes to joining teams. He joined the Miami Heat in 2010 and immediately became contenders. They made it to four consecutive NBA Finals, winning two of them.
He made his return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and they made it to the Finals from 2015 to 2018. James led them to the win in 2016, coming back from a 3-1 deficit. The same can also be said about him joining the Lakers in 2018, managing to lead them to a **** le in his second year there.

If it's Devdutt Padikkal and Dhruv Jurel that have emerged as India's batting stars of the future in this series, Sonal Dinusha is making a similar statement for Sri Lanka. The left-hander followed his scores of 100 and 84 in Galle with an unbeaten 85 (137b, 2x6) to lead a gritty fightback on a rain-hit third day of the second Test at SSC on Tuesday.

Dinusha found an able ally in fellow youngster Pasindu Sooriyabandara, who struck 80 (133b, 9x4) in only his second Test innings, as Sri Lanka frustrated India for large parts of the day before ending on 265 for eight. The hosts still require 38 runs to avoid the follow-on after India posted 503 for nine declared, but the resistance shown by their young batting brigade has ensured they remain in the contest.

Dinusha, now the leading run-scorer of the series with 269 runs at 134.50, was closing in on a second Test century in as many matches when rain and bad light forced an early finish to the proceedings. Together with Lahiru **** ara (8 batting), he added an unbeaten 35-run stand for the ninth wicket, after earlier sharing a crucial 57-run partnership with Keshara Nuwantha (18).

The 25-year-old has now registered three consecutive 80-plus scores in the series, underlining his credentials as a long-term solution to Sri Lanka's batting woes in the middle order. With Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis and Dinesh Chandimal unavailable, Dinusha has shouldered responsibility admirably.

India had appeared well placed to secure a sizeable lead and potentially enforce the follow-on after reducing Sri Lanka to 216/7. However, Dinusha and the lower order displayed plenty of resolve to blunt the visitors' bowling attack.

Earlier, Sri Lanka showed intent from the outset. Sooriyabandara and Kamindu Mendis (32) stitched together an 87-run third-wicket partnership, helping the hosts add 122 runs while losing only two wickets in the opening session. Sooriyabandara brought up his maiden Test fifty off 76 **** before falling to Ravindra Jadeja while attempting a late cut.

Prasidh Krishna was India's standout bowler, returning figures of 3/57. The pacer provided the early breakthrough when debutant opener Kamil Mishara (19) gloved a sharply rising delivery to wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel. Prasidh later removed Kamindu with another short ball.

Manav Suthar then dismissed captain Dhananjaya de Silva for 8 with a delivery that spun away sharply, while Mohammed Siraj accounted for Niroshan **** wella, who gloved a leg-side catch to wicketkeeper Jurel for a duck.

Yet, Sri Lanka refused to surrender. Aided by interruptions and determined lower-order resistance, Dinusha ensured India were left waiting for the final two wickets.

Caitlin Clark gave a very typical Caitlin Clark answer when asked about the incident after the Indiana Fever's win over the Chicago Sky.
Caitlin Clark put on a show against the Chicago Sky, dropping 37 points and burying eight three-pointers to lead the Indiana Fever to a 113-90 blowout.
Before tipoff, she caught up courtside with soccer icon Robert Lewandowski, sharing a warm exchange and posing for photos that blew up online.
Ever since entering the league, Clark has been under an intense spotlight, dealing with media noise, physicality on the court, and non-stop hot takes. Yet she has always managed to handle it with complete class, brushing off drama and keeping her focus strictly on basketball every time she steps in front of a microphone.
And that was no different after the Natasha Cloud and Enes Kanter altercation.

Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (ankle) is believed to have suffered a sprained ankle, and while he will miss time, it is not considered a long-term injury, according to sources.
SOURCE: ESPN - Adam Schefter
Why It Matters: It appears Jeanty has avoided a major injury that would force him to miss extended time. It remains to be seen if he will be ready for Week 1, but all things considered, this is a good outcome. As long as he isn't expected to miss more than a game or two, Jeanty remains a RB1 option.

The New Orleans Saints will want to move on quickly from Saturday's preseason matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. New Orleans was shut out 34-0 at SoFi Stadium, falling to 0-2 in the preseason. Most of the Saints' established starters didn't play after getting plenty of work during joint practices with the Rams and Dallas Cowboys this week, but that doesn't make the rest of the roster's performance any less concerning.
Preseason results, from a win-and-loss perspective, don't mean much on their own, but how players perform certainly does. With roster cuts approaching after the third preseason game, the Saints have plenty to clean up from Saturday's loss. Here are four areas where New Orleans must improve:
This one starts with the quarterbacks. Zach Wilson and Spencer Rattler are competing for positioning behind starting QB Tyler Shough, and neither helped themselves with a costly interception.
Wilson finished 6-of-12 for 55 yards and an interception after putting together an impressive performance against Jacksonville. Rattler was more productive through the air, completing 14-of-23 passes for 141 yards, though his interception was returned 100 yards for a Rams touchdown.
The Saints can't afford to give away possessions. That becomes even more important when the offense is struggling to consistently move the football.

"We are trying to prove people wrong."
Hull City certainly managed to support their manager Sergej Jakirovic's desire as they shocked Manchester United - and many neutral observers - with a 2-0 win on their return to the Premier League.
The Tigers have been predicted by many to finish bottom, having only squeezed into the Premier League via last season's Championship play-offs.
After finishing third in the previous campaign, United were again being tipped to finish at least in the Champions League places.
But Jakirovic's side claimed a memorable first league win over United since a Second Division success in 1974 thanks to first-half goals from Semi Ajayi and fellow defender ****** el Mendy - one of 11 summer signings and with more to come.

The first week of the 10th season of Dana White's Contender Series kicked off on Tuesday at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. The fight card featured five fights with 10 athletes competing for a spot on the UFC roster.
The fight card was headlined by a welterweight bout between Namo Fazil and ormer two-time Oktagon Welterweight Champion Kaik Brito. Fazil entered the but riding a seven-fight winning streak. Brito was coming off back-to-back victories.
After two entertaining and eventful round, Brito scored a stoppage early in the final round. He connected with an overhand right that rendered Fazil unconscious on the canvas. The walk-off KO earned the Brazilian a UFC offer.
Following the event, UFC CEO Dana White awarded six UFC contracts. Along with Brito, Roman Puga, Taner Trembley, Alik Lorenz, Trent Miller, and Cristian Pérez received offers to join the UFC roster.
Trembley became one of the rare fighters in the series history to get a UFC contract after losing. The featherweight kicked off the fight card against Roman Pug and was defeated via unanimous decision.

There is a reason why the Royal Rumble is still a big draw in the WWE, and it's not just about who is left standing at the end. The start of the match sees some of the lesser known and sometimes flat out mediocre wrestlers bouncing off of each other and all fighting in the midst of pure chaos. It's beautiful in its own way.
Speaking of which, the AFC and NFC South will crown a champion this season in the NFL.
It's not to say that the winner from either division can't go on to a deep playoff run and possibly even a Super Bowl. But there is almost certainly going to be a brawl to even reach the postseason with basically every team arguing a legitimate point on why they can be division champs.
The AFC South feels like it is entirely composed of teams that both need to put up or shut up and would scare just about any other team in the postseason. The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of a resurgent season and appear comfortable with both their head coach and quarterback. The Houston Texans are clearly all in on the season and will need to return to their 2024 level of play. The Indianapolis Colts hope a fully healthy season can keep their talent at a higher level and get back to the postseason. While the Tennessee ******* ans hope to surprise the world with a big step forward.
The NFC South has been the punchline of the NFL for a few years now, but with a division full of young teams it could be the year one of the teams break's out as a real contender. The Carolina Panthers shook things up last year by winning the division and hope their young quarterback can continue to progress. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers believe they have the pieces but this might be the final year of their window. The Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints are both building back their roster full of young players in a division that they could take.

The mystery surrounding Jameson Williams' unexpected absence from Detroit Lions practice did not last long, and the news appears to be about as good as Detroit could have hoped.
Lions coach Dan Campbell revealed Monday evening that Williams is dealing with a shoulder injury, but he made it clear the issue is not considered serious.
"He's got a little shoulder (injury), he's good to go, though," Campbell said Monday.
Williams was not expected to participate in Monday night's practice, and Campbell did not provide a specific timetable for his return. Still, his description of the injury should ease some of the concern that developed when Williams unexpectedly missed Sunday's padded session.
Any injury involving Williams is going to get the attention of Lions fans considering how important he has become to Detroit's offense.

The NFL preseason has begun and every team has played at least one game. We have some idea as to what teams will look like competitively in 2026.
NFL.com's Nick Shook has new preseason power rankings. We have to figure that the Arizona Cardinals are fairly low on the list, but let's see what the NFC West as a whole looks like, compared to the entire league.
You've heard the sound bites, read the headlines and drowned in the tidal wave of optimism. The Rams are Lombardi Trophy favorites, seemingly destined for a march to a Super Bowl that will be played in their home stadium, the same location in which they won their last ******* le. It's never that easy, of course, but GM Les Snead has built a monster in Los Angeles. With Myles Garrett trading brown and orange for royal blue and sol, Aaron Donald nearing a potential return from retirement to hop back onto the bandwagon he once captained, and Matthew Stafford coming off an MVP-winning season, this is a year the Rams go for it all. It will be up to them to make it through to the other side of a season-long gauntlet in their attempt to claim the throne.
This is no surprise. With the return of Matthew Stafford, an offense that was fantastic, and with the defensive additions of Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie, the Rams are the team to beat in 2026.
The reigning champs lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency, don't yet have his former running mate, Zach Charbonnet, available as he continues on his journey back from a torn ACL, and are placing a lot of backfield responsibility on the likes of rookie Jadarian Price and backup George Holani. Star defender Nick Emmanwori remains on the physically unable to perform list, too, although there's hope Mike Macdonald's ultimate chess piece can return in time for Week 1. Otherwise, everything is great for the Seahawks. Continuity will reign early in 2026, thanks in large part to the return of a familiar starting offensive lineup. The suffocating defense lost some pieces to free agency in the offseason, requiring reinforcement that could be tested, but there's little reason to think the 'Hawks will be anywhere but right back in the thick of the NFC race.

The Philadelphia Eagles opened their preseason with a 24-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but the final score only tells part of the story. With Philadelphia holding out many of its key players, the preseason opener was primarily about evaluating young players and roster competitions. Still, several areas stood out after the Eagles managed only 159 total yards and six first downs.
Here are takeaways from the loss.
Philadelphia finished with just 83 passing yards and 76 rushing yards. The Eagles averaged 4.0 yards per play and went 0-for-9 on third down.
Andy Dalton completed 3 of 6 passes for 20 yards, Tanner McKee went 6-of-10 for 35 yards, and Cole Payton completed 4 of 9 passes for 37 yards and a touchdown. Payton also led the Eagles with 45 rushing yards.
The numbers show how difficult it was for Philadelphia to sustain drives.
