RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Mark Jankowski scored in the third period for a three-goal lead, Pyotr Kochetkov made 24 saves and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Thursday night.
Kochetkov improved to 9-0-0 and set the franchise record for longest season-opening winning streak. Jordan Martinook and Logan Stankoven also scored and Seth Jarvis added two ******* ists as the defending Stanley Cup champion Hurricanes won for the fourth time in five games.
Jet Greaves stopped 24 shots for Columbus. Denton Mateychuk and Kent Johnson scored in the third period.
Jankowski's goal, 16 seconds into the third period, felt like added insurance, but turned out to be the difference in the game.
Martinook beat Greaves from the left circle to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead with 4:09 left in the first period.

Manchester United drew 1-1 with Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils went ahead after 35 minutes when Bryan Mbeumo completed a fine move to put United in the lead going into half time.
Unfortunately, United's frail defence was once again exposed when Dominic Calvert-Lewin bullied his way into the penalty box and scored an equaliser.
The draw in isolation was not a poor result, but the fact that United now have one league win in seven very much heaps the pressure on Michael Carrick and his team.
The Belgian has not been everybody's cup of tea since joining the club in the summer, but he is certainly playing regularly, proving how important he is to Michael Carrick.

Geno Smith and the New York Jets were efficient, effective and mostly productive on offense in their season opener.
Wait, who are these guys?
After trotting out one of the NFL's worst offenses last year, Aaron Glenn and the Jets made several significant changes in the offseason to revamp that side of the ball. Among them: They acquired Smith, who began his career with the franchise in 2013, from Las Vegas; hired Frank Reich as offensive coordinator; bolstered their offensive line; and added a few young playmakers in tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., a pair of first-rounders.
They all helped lead the Jets to an impressive 23-10 victory over the **** ans in Tennessee on Sunday.
"Our offense, how balanced we were — running the ball, throwing the ball," Glenn said Monday. "Very efficient on how we wanted to operate. The O-line was outstanding, giving Geno time to be able to create some of these explosive plays down the field."

Oklahoma football panic meter: Can Sooners still make CFP push despite ugly Michigan loss? appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Oklahoma football faced, arguably, the most questionable 1-0 team in the nation Saturday. Now fans are questioning coach Brent Venables, quarterback John Mateer and company. Michigan stunned the No. 11 Sooners 17-10 in Ann Arbor to spark early panic out of OU.
And the Wolverines pulled off the upset following a widely scrutinized week. Michigan became criticized and ridiculed following its controversial finish against Western Michigan. Quarterback Bryce Underwood then faced a potential benching following some strong words from head coach Kyle Whittingham.
But now it's the Sooners who'll face the critics. Including determining if the panic meter is high already in Norman.

Arsenal may have just won the Premier League and reached the final of the Champions League, which means the club has been making significant amounts of money in recent campaigns.
However, the Gunners are also keen to ensure that they have their house in order financially, and the club has reportedly employed BCG to audit its finances in a bid to cut out waste.
Arsenal are one of the clubs that laid off staff during the COVID pandemic, and they also sacked their scouts and reorganised that part of the club despite the many successes it had achieved previously.
They came under significant criticism for that decision, and the Gunners will continue to do what they can to ensure the team remains the main focus of their operations.
The Daily Mail reports that BCG managing director Jean Paul Petranca is leading the review, and it has caused staff to become annoyed and shocked.

The NFL has suspended free agent linebacker Xavier Thomas for the first three weeks of the season, according to the league's personnel notice.
It is unclear why the NFL suspended Thomas.
Thomas, 26, was waived from injured reserve by the 49ers on Aug. 26.
He spent time in the offseason with the Texans before reaching an injury settlement with the team May 20. He signed with the 49ers on Aug. 12.
The Cardinals picked Thomas in the fifth round in 2024, and he played 14 games as a rookie and four last season.

Cooper Rush is about as good of a third quarterback as you'll find in today's NFL, and is certainly one of the most experienced. That said, when you're staring down the barrel of starting your QB3 in Week 1 of the NFL season, something has gone terribly awry.
We'll get more updates tomorrow, but that seems like a real possibility after Tua Tagovailoa left practice today with what the injury report classified as an oblique injury. He was listed as a limited participant—because he did participate before he got injured!—but we have no idea how significant that injury is at this point.
11Alive's Reggie Chatman Jr. got footage of the injury and aftermath.
If Tua's fine, he's starting against the Steelers in Week 1. If not, Cooper Rush will take the start with Jack Strand as his backup, and it would not be stunning to see the increasingly snakebitten Falcons adding another veteran quarterback to the practice squad. Things are getting real grim, real fast.
If Rush is up, he'll be making his 17th career start. He's completed 364 of 596 passes for 3,766 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with 62 rushing attempts for 20 yards. The Falcons will be a little more likely to attack downfield with Rush under center in theory, but in practice I imagine he'll get an ultra-conservative gameplan that features a lot of Bijan Robinson.

It was recently reported that **** nal have an option to recall Ethan Nwaneri from his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund during the January transfer window.
However, local outlet Ruhr Nachrichten has now provided further clarity on the situation and revealed two key details of the agreement.
According to the German publication, **** nal are contractually unable to activate the recall clause at short notice during the transfer window and must "announce the recall well in advance".
While there is no specific deadline, the London club must make their intentions clear "well before the start of the transfer window".
Another important detail is that, should **** nal choose to exercise their recall option, the loan fee would be reduced to zero. In addition, the Gunners would have to cover the full salary of the England U21 international.

Lewis Hamilton says it is "far too late" for Ferrari to give him priority over team-mate Charles Leclerc in the championship fight, following a disappointing weekend at their home Italian Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion, who started fourth and finished sixth, was pushed on to the grass by Leclerc on the opening lap, slipping him down to 10th, as the pair battled wheel-to-wheel at the exit of the first chicane.
Leclerc then suffered a high-speed crash at the Parabolica shortly after to leave Hamilton as Ferrari's only hope of a top-three finish.
Once the race restarted following the red-flag period caused by Leclerc's crash, Hamilton never fully rejoined the fight at the front, and with Mercedes securing a one-two finish at Monza, he has fallen further back in the championship fight.
The 41-year-old, who was level on points with second-placed Russell in the standings before Sunday's race, is now 10 behind his old Silver Arrows team-mate, and 76 points adrift of **** le leader and race winner Antonelli.

Oregon State football is 0-1.
The Beavers opened their season Sept. 5 at No. 24 Houston, falling 33-20 in the opening game of the JaMarcus Shephard era.
It's the second year in a row the Beavers lost their opener.
This season's first-game loss feels a bit different, though. A late comeback push and a flurry of youth finding ways to impact the contest with Houston — especially on the offensive side of the ball — leave Oregon State with several positive takeaways.
Sophomore starting quarterback Braden Atkinson delivered a stellar performance in his OSU debut. He completed 29 of 48 passes for 376 yards and a touchdown. Atkinson flashed capabilities in both the pass and the scramble, showing Oregon State fans a bit of what might come as a gunslinger.

Fans going to Georgia football's opening game on Saturday will want to prepare now for the heat.
Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Ashley Kramlich says Saturday could be the hottest home opener on record.
The temperature is expected to be 97 degrees when Georgia and Tennessee State kick off at 3 p.m. If it gets that high, it would break the record of 96 degrees set during the 1911 and 1933 home openers.
Here is the current top 5:

LAHINCH, Ireland – Multiple players on the U.S. Walker Cup team are dealing with stomach issues ahead of the 51st edition at Lahinch Golf Club.
William Jennings, a rising junior at Alabama, and Oklahoma State senior Ethan Fang, who competed in last year's Walker Cup at Cypress Point, did not join their other eight teammates for on-course practice on Thursday morning as they recover from stomach illnesses.
"They're good," U.S. captain Nathan Smith said. "They're just going to get a little rest and should be good to go."
This is not the first time that a stomach illness has stricken Walker Cup competitors the week of the competition. In 2021 at Seminole, 16 members from both teams, including the two captains, contracted stomach bugs, with some gastrointestinal issues so severe that they required players be sent to the emergency room.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the two teams had alternates on site, and two of them – American Mac Meissner and GB&I's Jake Bolton – were subbed into action. It marked the first time in the event, which dates to 1922, that alternates were used.

How Reds' Sal Stewart has MLB history on his side for NL Rookie of the Year award originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
While the 2026 season for the Cincinnati Reds has been a bit of a mess, there has been one major positive takeaway: rookie slugger Sal Stewart.
After an impressive debut in 2025, he's turned his game up a notch in 2026 and now, as September begins, looks to be the clear favorite in the NL Rookie of the Year race.
MLB.com's Jason Foster revealed this, with 24 out of 40 MLB experts voting him as the NL ROY favorite. But Foster also revealed that MLB history is on his side, as he might have already done enough to win this award.
"When a rookie pops 30+ homers and leads the Majors with a 105 RBIs at the end of August, it's hard to argue against him as the ROY frontrunner," Foster writes. "In fact, every rookie to compile a 30-homer, 100-RBI season since the award began in 1947 has taken home the trophy."

Carnell Tate officially ended the preseason without a catch after playing in all three games. All of the reports from practice were that he was performing well. That didn't translate to the games. It did, however, translate in last week's joint practice against the Chicago Bears. He had a really good day.
Maybe that is why most fans aren't letting his preseason performance change the outlook for his rookie year:
I love that the people voting in these polls this offseason have been so reasonable. That has not been the case with a lot of the issues floating around on Twitter. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is how these guys perform in the regular season. Sure, we would have loved to see them go off and put up massive numbers in the preseason, but even that doesn't always translate. Real football is finally here!

NEW YORK — As the clock struck midnight in Queens, Sofia Kenin and Venus Williams had yet to play a single point on Arthur Ashe Stadium, as the previous five-set match between Novak Djokovic and Mariano Navone went four hours and 36 minutes, with the 24-time Grand Slam champion being sent packing in the first round of a major for the first time in 20 years.
The ladies took the court a mere 10 minutes after the calendar turned to Aug. 31, and when the crowd had finished rubbing their eyes, yawning, and trying to stay awake, Kenin dispatched the 46-year-old two-time US Open champion 6-2, 7-6.
Because of the late start, the match was supposed to be moved to Louis Armstrong Stadium, but both players said they wanted to stay at the original venue at Ashe.
Williams was making her 26th main-draw appearance at the US Open and still had a doubles tournament to play in with her sister, Serena, after receiving a wild card to compete, just as in her singles entry. She was also making her 96th Grand Slam appearance, the most in the Open Era.

Sunderland have yet to conclude a deal to sign Igor Paixao (26) from Olympique de Marseille, and according to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, they now face competition for the Brazilian's signature.
Paixao joined OM from Feyenoord last season for a €30m fee and, just 12 months later, the Brazilian could leave. Marseille and Sunderland are in talks regarding a transfer for the forward, although there is not yet any agreement between the clubs. There are also talks between the Premier League side and Paixao's representatives. Get French Football News understands that the player's representatives were in London for talks on Thursday.
OM cannot close the door to a departure, even if Bruno Genesio is desperate to retain the player, the only recognised senior left-winger in the squad. The chances of Paixao leaving have now increased, even if Sunderland are no closer to concluding a deal. He is seen as an option for Al-Ittihad, should the Saudi side fail to wrap up a deal for Ritsu Doan.

Lionel Messi is unstoppable. The Inter Miami star once again had a night to remember on Saturday, scoring four goals as the Herons thrashed CF Montréal 7-1.
With the haul, Messi hit 17 goals on the season, a number that pulls him to a lead in the MLS Golden Boot race. The Inter Miami captain tied and then passed FC Dallas forward Petar Musa for the sole spot at the top of the scoring standings.
Two of Messi's goals came off free kicks, one of the veteran forward's specialties. Messi pulled Miami back into the lead in the 40th minute with a curving shot that was mishandled by the Montéal defense.
Early in the second half, Messi found the back of the net again, staying upright through traffic before sending in a powerful shot.
In the 83rd minute, Messi timed a chip past Montréal goalkeeper Thomas Gillier, who surged to meet the captain but didn't get there in time.

Summer might be winding down, but fantasy football season is only beginning to heat up.
We have entered the busiest weeks of the year for fantasy drafts as the NFL preseason comes to a close. Millions of drafts will take place in the final two weeks before the regular season kicks off on Sept. 9, primarily because it eliminates the need to worry about in-game injuries during the preseason.
And if you didn't learn your lesson from the Andrew Luck shocking retirement in 2019, perhaps Ashton Jeanty's injury scare or Ja'Marr Chase's departure from practice was enough to do the trick in 2026.
Rosters are almost set and you'll never have more information ahead of the selection process than you do now – so pick carefully. After all, fantasy football rosters aren't too far off from a teacher receiving the class list before school begins. One way or another, this is your team until the season ends – for the most part.
Fortunately, you just have to worry about the drafting. We'll take care of the naming rights because in between the back-to-school rush and final summer vacations, it's the least we can do.

EAST LANSING — A Michigan State football player is being investigated for ****** ual ****** ault, according to a police report obtained by The Detroit News.
Allegations have been made against Nick Sharpe, an offensive lineman, over a July 17 incident at his apartment in East Lansing, but he has not been charged in the matter. The victim's name was redacted in the police report, but it does list the woman as a resident of Dallas, Texas.
Sharpe, 23, did not respond to a request for comment, nor did he respond after The Detroit News left a message with his family. Michigan State did not have an immediate comment when reached by The News.
According to the police report that lists the alleged offense as third-degree criminal ****** ual conduct, the woman says she flew to Detroit on July 17 and took an Uber to Sharpe's apartment, where she says she entered his room to watch a movie.
The two began kissing, and Sharpe allegedly began touching her genitalia. She claims she told him to stop, but he continued. He only ceased when she started performing oral ****** on him, she says, which she consented to due to nervousness. Sharpe recorded her during the act. She slept in Sharpe's bedroom that night while he slept on the couch because he "could not control himself." She returned home to Dallas the next day.

High school football is back in the Gadsden area starting this week and the action is starting up Thursday, Aug. 27.
The AHSAA season officially got started last week, but a few Gadsden-area teams waited until this week to get going. That group is led by Hokes Bluff, which starts with Southside on Thursday, and Westbrook Christian, which travels down to Ashville. Cherokee County and Sand Rock both get started with traditional rivalries with Piedmont and Spring Garden, respectively.
The season runs through October before the playoffs start in November. The AHSAA Football championships are December 1-5 in Mobile, one of many changes this season. The biggest shakeup was the public-private split and ensuing fallout that created two classes and got rid of 7A.
Keep up with coverage closer to kick off on Thursday and Friday.

Aug. 26—GRAND FORKS — A year ago, all six home UND football games exceeded 10,000 fans for the first time.
UND officials expect to continue that trend to kick off the 2026 season, although the school will still rely on a walk-up turnout when the Fighting Hawks take on Long Island University at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Alerus Center.
As of late last week, UND was sitting at roughly 3 percent attrition for season tickets compared to 2025. Early this week, that number started to improve, according to UND deputy athletic director Erik Martinson.
UND's season ticket sales have fluctuated in recent years around approximately 5,000 to 6,000, with the North Dakota State home-road matchup often the key variable between totals.
The Bison are no longer on UND's schedule as NDSU moves into the Mountain West Conference this season.

The Rays had their chance to take control of this one in the fourth inning with the bases loaded and just one out. Jackson Jobe, the Tigers' starter, was floundering having allowed three hits, a walk and a run in the first five batters. Nonetheless, the Rays were able to muster just the one run as Richie Palacios was unable to put the ball in play, instead striking out looking, and Taylor Walls grounded to first to officially end the threat. Jobe escaped allowing just the one run; the first and only run the Rays would score the entire game.
And that is pretty much the storyline for this one. The pitching was fine. Not great, but certainly serviceable. If nothing else, Legumina and Seymour combining for all eight innings gives Kevin Cash a lot of options for the series finale on Wednesday. The bats were quiet. Four of their five hits came in the first four innings and their last hit came in the eighth. They tallied four singles and a double.
Legumina opened this one and tossed 2.1 solid innings of work allowing just one hit while punching out a pair. Seymour followed and threw the final 5.2 innings. He allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits. He punched out five and walked none.
After the Rays failed to break this one open in the fourth, the Tigers jumped out to a three-run lead in the fifth and never looked back. Torkelson singled to start the inning and later scored on a two-run shot off the bat of rookie Max Clark. The final run scored on a 2-out error.
Then, in the seventh inning the Tigers tacked on another run to make it a 4-1 lead. After allowing a leadoff triple to Javier Baez, Seymour was a pitch away from escaping the threat, but allowed a 2-out RBI-single to Hao-Yu Lee.

It was one of the riskiest singles Dhruv Jurel would have taken in his Test career. Anxious to complete his second Test century — and first overseas hundred — after being stranded on 99 for 12 ******* and made to wait by rain while on 95, Jurel punched the ball towards mid-off and sprinted for a single that just wasn't on.

The ball travelled quickly to the fielder after bouncing. But luck smiled on the 25-year-old batter. The fielder missed the direct hit and Jurel dived to complete the run and his century, which came off 171 ******* and had the entire Indian dressing room applauding as they shared the tension. Mohammed Siraj celebrated wildly, giving Jurel a bear hug.

Powered by Jurel's composed and flawless unbeaten 115 off 177 ******* , with nine fours and two sixes, and Rishabh Pant's entertaining 63 off 89 ******* , with six fours and two sixes, India declared at 503 for nine. Then, they reduced Sri Lanka to 8/2 on Day Two of the second and final Test in Colombo on Monday.

The hosts were clearly unhappy about being asked to bat in fading light. Yashasvi Jaiswal pulled off a brilliant diving catch at gully to send back Lahiru Udara for one off Prasidh Krishna in the second over.

In the third over, the hosts suffered another blow when nightwatchman Prabath Jayasuriya was trapped LBW for two by a fast, full delivery from Manav Suthar. Jayasuriya's agitated reaction after being dismissed reflected Sri Lanka's unhappiness at being asked to bat so late in the evening.

Kamil Mishara was batting on five when stumps were drawn at 5:51pm after an extended session. Shubman Gill and Co. deserve credit for their bowlers' early blows, as they did not leave the field even when the covers were being brought on because of the dark, wet conditions a few minutes earlier.

With the hosts trailing by 495 runs, India are now in control of the Test.

Jurel was involved in two vital partnerships, adding 112 for the seventh wicket with Pant, which lifted India from 307 for six, and 39 for the eighth with Manav Suthar. During his stand with Pant, Jurel played the ideal foil, reaching a patient fifty off 97 ******* .

Like Devdutt Padikkal, Jurel has enjoyed a breakout series. Having arrived in Sri Lanka without a fifty in eight innings and under pressure from Sarfaraz Khan for the No. 6 spot, he made a crucial 51 in the first Test and now has 173 runs in two Tests at 86.50.

Rishabh Pant, meanwhile, struck his 21st Test half-century and became India's leading run-scorer in World Test Championship history, surpassing Shubman Gill. Pant now has 2,948 runs in 42 WTC Tests, ahead of Gill's 2,917.

Earlier, India resumed on 300 for five and lost debutant Saransh Jain early for six.

There was a number of spectacular goals on show, on Sunday as Celtic FC Women ran out 3-0 winners over Montrose.
In what could have been a frustrating afternoon for the Hoops, Grant Scott's side showcased their quality with three superb strikes late on in the win at their new home in Kirkintilloch.
Casey Howe was the first to get the scoring underway, with her 82nd-minute strike firing the Hoops in front.
It was a special strike from the winger, who grabbed her first in green and white in style, powering an effort home off the underside of the bar.
And that was followed by another sublime strike going in off the underside of the woodwork, this time from Maria McAneny.

The wait is over; in two days, Roma will take to the field at the Olimpico. The Giallorossi's first opponent of the season will be Fiorentina, who have undergone a revamped squad.
On the eve of the match against the Lilies, Gian Piero Gasperini held his first press conference of the season. In addition to the match presentation, the coach also addressed the transfer market.
The coach began by listing the players: "Numerically, something is missing. We don't have the capacity to have 23 players on the squad, especially for the Champions League. We have two free slots. Four players have arrived; Molina is an important player coming off the World Cup final and has come in to replace Celik. Dovbyk left and was replaced by Castro. Koulierakis is an addition; we needed a backup for Hermoso. Finally, Rodrigo Mora arrived, but El Shaarawy, Venturino, and others have left."
"Players with a great desire to join Roma have arrived; Castro took the train just to come. Salaries have been lowered to meet our needs. We have 10 days left, and we hope to complete everything."
Roma, like Fiorentina, have chosen to focus on young players. The coach expressed his thoughts on this matter: "Often, focusing on young players is a necessary path, but it can have its advantages. As for Mora, he has a lot of experience despite his young age. He was an investment by the owners with a view to the future, but I can't give him too much responsibility, being a 2007 player; he needs to follow certain steps. He has all the characteristics to emerge."

If Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), was looking for a reason to pull its money out of the LIV Golf tour, he reportedly found it in Sergio Garcia's outburst at the Masters in April.
That's the claim in Friday's edition of The Financial Times.
"In April, as LIV golfers floundered at the Masters, golf's most prestigious tournament, Spanish star Sergio Garcia damaged the Augusta National course during a fit of rage in the final round," read the Times. "People familiar with the matter say Rumayyan's embarrassment at the sequence of events helped lead to his decision to pull the plug on PIF's financing of the rival tour, as the fund focuses more on its huge domestic commitments in the kingdom."
Now, one's first thought is likely that many factors led the PIF to pull its funding from LIV, which has consistently lost money amid poor ratings and bad PR since its brief moment in the sun. However, when you look at the timing of everything, it kinda checks out.
Garcia's meltdown, which included him slamming his driver in frustration, tearing out chunks of grass, and breaking it against a cooler, took place on Sunday, April 12, the final day of the 2026 Masters.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever continued to deliver record-breaking TV viewership numbers as they soared up the WNBA standings with their wins over the Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream.
Clark and Indiana's Aug. 14 win over the Dallas Wings on Ion last Friday averaged 1.62 million viewers to become the most-watched WNBA game ever on the network. It was also the most-watched telecast of any kind on Ion since Aug. 30, 2022. The game peaked with 2.2 million viewers.
Two days later, Clark and the Fever's overtime win over the Atlanta Dream on ESPN averaged 2.58 million viewers and peaked at 4 million viewers. That marked the largest-ever WNBA audience on cable. It beat the previous high of 2.54 million for Fever-Sun Game 2 in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, which is Caitlin Clark's most-recent playoff game.
The most-watched WNBA game this season was the Indiana Fever versus the Las Vegas Aces on NBC on July 12, which averaged 2.64 million viewers, making it the second-most-watched WNBA regular-season game since 2000.
Overall, the 12 largest WNBA audiences since 2000 have all occurred in the past three seasons and each have involved Clark. Nine Fever games, Clark's two appearances in the All-Star Game and the 2024 WNBA Draft in which Clark was selected first overall.
