The Green Bay Packers are battling to earn a "Thursday Night Football" victory over the Carolina Panthers to open Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season.
The Packers' efforts to do so are being witnessed by a group of Milwaukee Brewers players, who are celebrating the franchise's first World Series win.
The Brewers' presence came just one day after the team wrapped up its World Series ******* le with a 4-1 Game 5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. They came onto the field after the first quarter with the Commissioner's Trophy in tow and were greeted by a chorus of cheers by the crowd at Lambeau Field.
Brandon Woodruff carried the trophy onto the field for the Brewers while players like Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick were also on-hand for the celebration. Frelick took his opportunity on the field to try a Lambeau Leap, and he was greeted warmly by the crowd.
Below is a look at the mid-game festivities:

Glentoran manager Declan Devine is set to leave the club amid the east Belfast outfit's poor start to the Irish Premiership season.
An agreement over his departure was reached on Monday with the Glens winless in their past three league games and sat eighth in the table with seven points from their opening six fixtures.
Devine's last game in charge was a frustrating 1-1 draw with Bangor at the Oval on Saturday and the full-time whistle was met by a chorus of boos from the home faithful.
Former Glens goalkeeper Devine took over at the 23-time league champions initially as interim boss in March 2024 after Warren Feeney was sacked.
He was given the role as permanent boss the following month and guided Glentoran to the County Antrim Shield in the 2024-25 season, their first trophy in five years.

Your replacement for Saturday morning cartoons or that warm cup of coffee has arrived. Or you can just enjoy those things on top of what I'm about to bring to your digital doorstep.
Yes, it's Madden Sim season again.
For the uninitiated, every Saturday morning before a Sunday Detroit Lions game, I'll hop on our YouTube and Twitch channels and fire up a game of Madden 27. I will do my best to adjust the roster as closely as they will be during the actual game, but then I let the computer take over the rest. I do not grab the sticks, I do not call the plays or take over for a specific player. I let the game simulate the result completely, all while providing my own live commentary.
It's also an opportunity for live viewers to do a Q&A. I like to answer any questions you may have about the upcoming game, the Lions' season, or anything else that's on your mind.

It appears Kyle Shanahan will pass Bill Walsh. And keep on going and going.
The San Francisco 49ers head coach signed a contract extension in the offseason, Netflix's Tom Pelissero reported, although his previous deal – that owner Jed York said on March 30 that he was through 2028 – wasn't close to expiring. The length of this new deal has not yet been disclosed.
"I think Kyle's got three years left (on his contract)," York said then. "I want Kyle to be here for a long time. He's been here for a long time. I want him to be here even longer."
Shanahan, 46, will match Walsh as the longest-tenured 49ers head coach if he finishes his 10th season with the team in 2026. Shanahan and the Rams' Sean McVay are the NFL's second-longest tenured head coaches. They trail only Kansas City's Andy Reid, who is in his 14th season with the Chiefs.
Shanahan has an 83-67 regular-season record with the 49ers and a 9-5 mark in the postseason. His regular-season win total ranks third in franchise history behind George Seifert (98) and Walsh (92). His postseason total ranks third behind Seifert and Walsh, who each have 10. Shanahan's playoff winning percentage (.643) ranks ninth in NFL history (minimum 10 games). In Shanahan's first nine seasons, the 49ers won two NFC **** les, three NFC West crowns, made five playoff appearances and had four 12-win seasons.

When a team makes a trade in sports, one doesn't really know how it's going to turn out.
Sure, fans react — or overreact, oftentimes — 30 seconds after a deal is made.
It could take years before the impact of a trade is determined. For teams who are usually in contention for a division ****** le/playoff appearance, the hope is that impact is sooner than later.
For those teams who are not in contention, it helps provide a glimpse of what the future may hold.

All three players arrived during a frantic final 24 hours of business before UEFA's registration deadline, but will not be available for the Hoops' eight league-phase fixtures.
Martin O'Neill faced a difficult selection call after Celtic's late transfer activity left him with more non-homegrown first-team players than he was permitted to register.
The Celtic boss could name only 17 of his 20 non-homegrown options, meaning three players were always going to miss out.
O'Neill has ultimately opted to omit three of the younger and less experienced additions in Emenalo, Mheuka and Van den Berg.
Celtic confirmed their European squad on Thursday afternoon, with the list now locked in for the league phase ahead of their opening fixture against Ferencvaros later this month.

Former LSU women's basketball forward Kate Koval posted a statement to her social media account on Wednesday about why she left the team. She confirmed suspicions that her departure was due to the Tigers signing Russian forward Anna Minaeva.
According to Koval's statement, she learned in April that Minaeva would be signing with LSU. The news came after the transfer portal closed, meaning Koval couldn't go in search of another program. Koval hails from Ukraine and her father serves in the Ukrainian military.
"The timing of this situation and the deeply personal effect it has had on me, my family and those we care about who continue to live through and fight this war ultimately made me question whether LSU remained the right place for me," Koval said. "This decision has not been easy. While I understand and respect that roster decisions are a part of college basketball, I have to remain true to myself, my values and my country."
Koval said she felt like she "found a home at LSU" after transferring there ahead of her sophomore year. She played in every game with 17 starts, averaging 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. As a junior, she was in line to start at the five and play a major role for LSU inside.
Instead, Koval issued a call to action for the NCAA. In her statement, she made a plea to play for another school for the upcoming season.

On Wednesday, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes spoke to the local media for the first time since the team made the decision to cut Terrion Arnold following his arrest in connection with an incident earlier this year that resulted in eight felony charges. It was an opportunity for Holmes to face some criticism on the way the Lions handled Arnold's situation and built the cornerback room behind him.
One of the main lingering questions was why the Lions' opinion on Arnold shifted throughout the process. When his name was first connected to the incident—before his arrest—the Lions organization backed Arnold and his version of the story.
"We got all the information that says he wasn't involved," coach Dan Campbell said during the owners' meeting in April. "That's what we know, that's all we know, and that's really all I can say. As far as I know, it's not a big deal. It seems like he still wasn't involved with this."
The Lions then opted to waive him days after his arrest. Holmes didn't offer many details on what changed, simply noting that when they got more information, they made the move they felt was right.
"The whole situation obviously was unfortunate. Look, the kid made a mistake," Holmes said. "The more information that we got throughout the process, that was the result of us doing what the best and right thing was for the club, which was: move on and move forward."

Clark Lea lost his first-ever game at Vanderbilt football to an FCS team, East Tennessee State, five years ago.
Lea hasn't forgotten that. A few players on the team were even still there for that 2021 game.
Since that day, the program has improved a lot. Lea has led the Commodores to two bowl games and has won his season opener in four straight seasons. That includes wins over Virginia Tech to kick off both the 2024 and 2025 season.
Vanderbilt's opening opponent this season, Austin Peay, is an FCS team. Like ETSU, though, the Governors are a well-regarded FCS team that is usually ranked in its division. That game will take place Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. CT at FirstBank Stadium and be televised on SEC Network+.
There's already been a slight concern pop up for Lea. He didn't like the way the team practiced Sept. 1, saying the team lacked attention to detail and let the heat get to it.

NASCAR's championship format changed for 2026, so before the final 10 races begin, let's make The Chase make sense.
Following the 26-race regular season, the top 16 drivers in the Cup Series standings advance to The Chase. Unlike the previous playoff format, winning a race does not automatically secure a spot. Drivers must earn their way into the championship battle through points.
Once the field is set, the standings reset based on each driver's regular-season position. The regular-season champion begins The Chase with 2,100 points, followed by the second seed at 2,075 and the third at 2,065. From there, the total decreases by five points per position until the 16th seed starts at 2,000.
That creates a 100-point gap between first and 16th before the postseason even begins, rewarding drivers for an entire season of consistency rather than treating every qualifier equally.
Then, it becomes a 10-race sprint to the championship.

The Seattle Seahawks on Saturday officially signed cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is facing felony charges in Florida and will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list while the case plays out.
Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in June, when the Detroit Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
Arnold will not be permitted to play or practice with the Seahawks as a result of being on the exempt list, but while the league investigates his case he can be paid and attend team meetings. It is not known when he might be able to play.
The Seahawks agreed to terms with Arnold two weeks ago. Coach Mike Macdonald said at the time that the team understood the ramifications of signing Arnold.
"We also understand that it's a serious situation with a legal matter. There's a process behind it, so we respect that," Macdonald said. "That's how we'll operate, just letting that process play out and let the league decide if and when his return to play is. We'll understand that that's at play, but there's also an opportunity to bring him and give him an opportunity to earn a position here."

NFL All-Pro cornerback Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner is suing a Farmington Hills construction company for $1.4 million claiming breach of contract and fraud related to the planned renovation of a Detroit investment property.
Sanborn Construction Group has also sued Gardner, claiming the Detroit native and former Detroit King High School star misled the company and breached the contract because he wanted his "friends" to serve as general contractor on the project.
The dueling lawsuits center on the vacant 1920s era Bonita apartments building at 69 Seward Street. The 44-unit building is just west of Woodward, about five blocks north of the Fisher Building.
Nick Sanborn, CEO of Sanborn Construction Group, declined to comment on the case.
"We filed our breach of contract lawsuit first and our complaint is public info," Sanborn told the Free Press in an email. "Other than that we have no comment."

Martin O'Neill and his squad have agonised over the defeat in Austria over the past couple of days, and that sense of disappointment will no doubt linger over the coming weeks.
However, there is still a lot of football to be played this season, not least a Europa League campaign which will see Celtic welcome Marseille to Glasgow and also head out to Lisbon to face Benfica.
Before any of those European ties, however, the Hoops return to domestic action this weekend when they play host to Falkirk and looking to make it three wins out of three in the Premiership.
Speaking at Lennoxtown today, Martin O'Neill said: "It was really disappointing on Tuesday night, but we just have to try and get over it if we can.
'It can be difficult in the immediate aftermath to take it all in and ***** yse your disappointment with a bit of time that's passed.'

With the relationship between MLB and the MLB Players ******* ociation already tense, the league is continuing to make suggestions that the union is not happy about. On Thursday, MLB reportedly proposed drastic changes to the offseason, including a shortened free agency window, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Thursday.
Under the proposal, per Passan, the free agency window would open the Monday after the Winter Meetings in early December, and would close Dec. 21. No free agency signings or trades would be allowed until the first Monday in February, at which they would be allowed to resume.
The period would be preceded by a "dead period" where players can negotiate with players, but not sign — similar to the NFL's "legal tampering" period.
The somewhat radical proposal would slash the amount of time that players could sign in the offseason, making it much more difficult for players to leverage deals between teams, meaning that money is left on the table.
Additionally, the shortened offseason period relates to the contentious issue of the proposed salary cap, something that MLB has been heavily pushing for in the new collective bargaining agreement while the union has strongly pushed back.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Ukrainian center Kate Koval is leaving LSU less than two weeks after the Tigers brought in a player from Russia.
LSU coach Kim Mulkey said Monday night that the 6-foot-5 Koval was leaving for "personal reasons," adding that the program will "respect her privacy on her decision."
"We had a long talk about it, and it was a hard decision for her," Mulkey continued. "I know it is hard because she loves LSU. Kate is a great person. She has to do what she feels is right for her, and we fully support her in that. We all wish her the best."
Koval, who was born in Kyiv, began her college career at Notre Dame. She transferred before last season to LSU, where she averaged 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- The San Diego Padres (71-61) dropped an ugly offensive battle to the Pittsburgh Pirates (64-69) in 12 innings, falling 3-2 on Monday night.
What was supposed to be the start of a new era under new ownership ended on a sour note.
The game reached the 12th inning when Jeremiah Estrada gave up a single to Nick Gonzales that brought Jared Triolo home for the eventual game-winning run in the Pirates' 3-2 victory.
"Seems like we were just kind of playing ping pong back and forth for a few innings there, and obviously they took advantage of their opportunity there in the 12th," second baseman Jake Cronenworth said.
Monday night's game looked like the pre-All-Star break Padres, as they went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position.

The Washington Commanders' 2025 season was a complete 180-degree turn from their 2024 season. In 2024, the Commanders made their first NFC Championship appearance in over 30 years. Jayden Daniels earned Offensive Rookie of the Year honors, and the Commanders looked like an entirely different team than what we had seen in the previous 25 years.
Then came 2025, which we won't rehash here. It wasn't pretty, so Adam Peters set out to make changes during free agency. His early focus was on the defensive side of the ball, as it should have been, and the improvement on that side of the ball is already visible. He spent less time on the offense, but did make some changes, including signing Stefon Diggs during training camp.
The Commanders have a ton of depth at wide receiver in 2026, giving Jayden Daniels plenty of tools to work with. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer recently noted that depth in his review of the Commanders' 2026 training camp practices.
One thing that'll certainly help Daniels is Washington's depth at receiver. The Commanders believe they have eight NFL-quality receivers in camp, which will force tough decisions in a couple of weeks. Terry McLaurin, without last year's contract drama, is back to being Terry McLaurin. Interestingly, the difference-maker here has been Stefon Diggs, who's immediately stepped into a leadership role, one he deftly handled last year in New England, and set a high bar for the room (as McLaurin always has). Among the young guys, Luke McCaffrey's taken another step, and rookie Antonio Williams is one to watch, already capable of playing both the Z (split end) and F (slot) positions, which have made him a really good fit for the new system.
When it comes time for final 53-man roster cuts, the Commanders are going to have some serious decisions to make. Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin are the anchors in the room. Luke McCaffrey, Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, Jaylin Lane, and the rest of the receivers in the room are doing an excellent job of making a case for themselves. Unfortunately, not all of them will make the final roster.

George Russell has said he has "nothing to lose" in his ******* le bid against Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli, returning to track action feeling "way more relaxed" after F1's summer break and pipping the Italian to the front row of Sunday's Dutch GP grid.
Russell's campaign to catch his teenage teammate began with a victory from Pole in the Sprint Race on Saturday, taking him to within 56 points of Antonelli, and closer to Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton in second place. Russell's strong Zandvoort weekend continued later on in the afternoon,beating a frustrated Antonelli to P2 by 0.03s behind pole sitter Lando Norris.
Asked on whether the Dutch GP could represent a turning point in his championship hopes - having suffered a string of bad luck with DNFs and power unit struggles for much of the season's first half - a measured Russell replied: "I'm just going to take it race by race. I'm not going to come away from this weekend and say all issues are resolved.
"I do think I made some big changes going into the Barcelona weekend, and as I said earlier this morning, I had some good races, Barcelona and Austria. Then Silverstone and Spa, we had the PU issue, and Budapest was just not a competitive weekend on my side. So, I think it just hasn't been a clean run this season. It has not been a clean season whatsoever with all of the issues that we've had."

Daniel Palencia had a good year as Cubs closer in 2025 despite some injury issues. He had more time on the IL this year, first with an oblique strain and then a flexor injury.
Today, the Cubs activated Palencia from the injured list after five rehab outings, the last two of which were pretty good. He is not expected to immediately return to the closer role, instead serving as what manager Craig Counsell calls an "out-getter" in whatever situation he's needed. Overall this year in 19 MLB games, Palencia has a 2.70 ERA, 1.380 WHIP, three saves and 19 strikeouts in 16.2 innings.
To make room for Palencia on the 26-man active roster, right-hander Javier ******* ad has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa. I don't need to explain to you how this makes most Cubs fans feel. The only thing I can say is that ******* ad is likely back on Sept. 1 when rosters expand.
In addition, the Cubs added infielder Gabriel Arias, acquired Wednesday on waivers from the Mets, to the 26-man active roster. To make room for Arias, infielder Owen Miller was designated for ******* ignment. He's likely to clear waivers and will almost certainly be given the opportunity to remain in the organization.
As always, we await developments. Today's game preview will post at 7 p.m. CT.

The Seattle Seahawks traveled to Nashville for a joint practice with the Tennessee ****** ans on Friday morning. They'll then meet the ****** ans on Sunday in Week 2 of the preseason. Tennessee is a rebuilding team, but they should provide the Seahawks' interior offensive line with a worthwhile challenge.
The Seahawks return all three starters across the interior, with Grey Zabel, Jalen Sundell, and Anthony Bradford slated to start. Joint practice with the ****** ans should test their preparedness for the regular season. The interior defensive line is the strongest area of the ****** ans' roster.
Even though Seahawks DT Leonard Williams was named ESPN's No. 1 interior defender this past offseason, many critics believed ****** ans DT Jeffery Simmons deserved the spot. Simmons led all defensive tackles in the NFL in sacks last season. He'd get more recognition if the ****** ans weren't 3-14.
The ****** ans also signed productive DT John Franklin-Myers to a three-year contract worth more than $20 million per season earlier this offseason. Together, Franklin-Myers and Simmons could form one of the best interior duos in all of football this season. Defensive-minded head coach Robert Saleh is excited to have them.
If both Simmons and Franklin-Myers participate in Friday's joint practice, they'll push the Seahawks' interior to the limit.

Wigan Athletic have signed Chelsea midfielder Reggie Walsh and Manchester City midfielder Charlie Gray on season-long loan deals.
Walsh, 17, has made four senior appearances for the Premier League side and became their third-youngest player when he made his debut against Djurgarden in the Conference League in May 2025.
Gray, 20, has been with City since he was an under-9 and made his senior debut against Brentford in the Carabo Cup last December.
Both players could feature for Gary Cadwell's side in Saturday's League One game at home to Leyton Orient.
"It's the perfect stepping stone I need in my career. Being 17, I need to play men's football, and I believe this is the perfect environment for me to be in and build my career," Walsh told the club website.

"I think he feels comfortable. We are super happy that he is with us," the 52-year-old told reporters about the England captain as he was awarded the Golden Shoe as Europe's top scorer on Wednesday.
"Now we just have to clarify the details that are part of football too. But I don't think the parameters are that bad."
Kane's deal runs out at the end of this season, but he has consistently indicated he is happy in Munich.
The 33-year-old has also said his urge to return to England at some point has lessened.

After a blistering start to their domestic season, Celtic will begin their Champions League campaign on Wednesday night by hosting LASK in the first leg of the play-off round. The spirit must be high in the camp after the weekend's thumping 4-0 League Cup win at Tannadice Park against Dundee United. But the Austrian heavyweights, who won their first league ****** le in 61 years, would be more resolute in deep defence.
Meanwhile, the LASK boss Dietmar Kühbauer considers the home side favourites for this European encounter. However, he calls for a balanced and proactive performance in Glasgow rather than a purely defensive approach, and this midweek contest would be a tactical battle between two domestic champions in their first-ever competitive meeting for a lucrative league-phase spot in this coveted tournament.
The Hoops are weighing up a move for another goalkeeper. But they are not in a rush, thanks to Viljami Sinisalo's command and composure ever since replacing the injured Kasper Schmeichel between the sticks earlier this year.

Alistair Johnston's injury is a massive blow, and the gaffer Martin O'Neill is likely to rely on Colby Donovan down the right, having preferred him over Anthony Ralston in recent fixtures. Liam Scales got the nod against the Tangerines as a left fullback, but could make way for Kieran Tierney, who remains the preferred choice for his flair, finesse and trademark crosses. The USMNT duo Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty should continue as the first-team central defensive pairing.
