Mumbai Indians on Friday announced their new-looked support staff for IPL 2027, appointing Robin Uthappa as batting coach, Mitchell McClenaghan as bowling coach, T. Dilip as fielding coach and Dhawal Kulkarni as development bowling coach.

The four will work alongside head coach Kieron Pollard, who replaced Mahela Jayawardene last week, as Mumbai Indians put together a new coaching group ahead of the next season.

Uthappa, McClenaghan and Kulkarni have previously represented Mumbai Indians as players. Pollard, meanwhile, has been ******* ociated with the franchise for 16 years.

Uthappa was part of India's squad that won the inaugural ICC Men's T20 World Cup in 2007. He represented Mumbai Indians in 2008 and brings experience from Indian domestic and franchise cricket.

McClenaghan was part of Mumbai Indians' ******* le-winning campaigns in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. The New Zealand pacer represented the franchise between 2015 and 2020 and will now take charge of the bowling group.

Dilip joins Mumbai Indians after working with the India men's team. He was part of the coaching staff during India's ******* le wins at the 2024 and 2026 ICC Men's T20 World Cups and the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

Kulkarni, a two-time IPL champion with Mumbai Indians in 2013 and 2020, returns to the franchise after representing the team in two spells — from 2008 to 2013 and again in 2020-21.

The former Mumbai pacer will work closely with the coaching staff during the season, focusing on the development of the team's bowling resources, particularly young Indian bowlers. His role will continue throughout the year, providing support to players and helping the franchise strengthen its pool of bowling talent.

The coaching overhaul comes after Mumbai Indians, who are five-time IPL champions, performed below-average last season.

American Olympic gold medalist and PWHL star Kendall Coyne Schofield has announced that she is pregnant with her second child.
The 34-year-old, who married former NFL offensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Michael Schofield in 2018, shared the news on social media.
The announcement sheds light on Coyne Schofield's absence from the ice on Wednesday night, when Team USA faced off against Team Canada in Windsor, Ont. While named to the national team's fall training camp rosters, Coyne Schofield, a staple of the U.S. program since 2011, did not dress for the game.
A four-time Olympian, Coyne Schofield won her second gold medal at the Milan Cortina Winter Games in February. She has won seven IIHF Women's World Championships and established herself as one of the foundational figures in women's professional hockey and a key player in the creation of the PWHL.
Coyne Schofield gave birth to her first child, son Drew, in July 2023. Six months later, she was back on the ice for the PWHL's inaugural season in January 2024 as captain of the league's Minnesota franchise. The team won the first Walter Cup championship, and then another in 2025. Individually, Coyne Schofield has been one of the very best players in the PWHL over the last three seasons. Only Canadian captain Marie-Philip Poulin and teammate Taylor Fox (née Heise) have scored more career points than Coyne Schofield's 63 career points in 77 games, all scored with the Minnesota Frost since the PWHL's inaugural season in 2024.

After getting shut out in the first half, the Dallas Cowboys finally put up points on their first drive of the second half on a one-yard touchdown run from running back Javonte Williams, cutting the Green Bay Packers' lead to 17-7.
Here is a look at Williams' touchdown, courtesy of the NFL's official social media:
On Green Bay's opening drive of the second half, they were forced to punt. However, Dallas' defense struggled to stop the Packers on their second drive, including allowing a conversion on fourth and three and they would ultimately kick a field goal to make it 20-7 late in the third quarter. If the Cowboys cannot figure out a way to consistently stop this Green Bay offense, they are not going to be able to come back in this game.

Class of 2027 Nebraska football commit Jailen Hill has been suspended for the rest of his senior year. This comes as he was ruled ineligible through August 2027.
The infraction came after it was found that Hill participated with Miami Carol City before he was officially enrolled. In addition, he lived with a representative of the school's athletic program.
He officially committed to Nebraska on June 16 and began practicing with Carol City in mid-July. He officially enrolled on August 13.
In addition to practicing early, an FHSAA investigation found that his eligibility paperwork was not signed by his legal guardian. Instead, someone else ****** ociated with the football program signed the paperwork. USA Today's Alex Martin reported this.
The corner is currently a member of a Nebraska football recruiting class that ranks 18th in the country according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.

A full day came down the final hole Friday in the 20th Solheim Cup.
And, once again, Carlota Ciganda delivered.
Wide off the tee on the par-4 18th and even farther right with her second shot, the 2023 Finca Cortesin hero, saved par from 12 feet to tie her match and keep the overall competition even entering Day 2.
Europe and the U.S. are knotted, 4-4, after the opening two sessions at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. In danger of falling behind on home turf, Ciganda added to her Solheim legend in teaming with fellow Spaniard Julia Lopez Rameriz, a cup rookie, to secure an improbable tie against Nelly Korda and Lauren Coughlin.
The sides split the morning foursomes, with the U.S. capturing the first two matches and the Euros claiming the latter two.

SOUTH BEND — Forty-two weeks since suffering the second left ACL tear of his career, Notre Dame football linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa could return this week against Rice in the home opener.
"Kyngstonn's done a great job," Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said Thursday, Sept. 10 on his Zoom update. "He's practiced well. He'd been working to the point where he can play. He's had a really good week of practice. Right now, we're optimistic he'll be able to go on Saturday and be able to help us some."
The junior standout from Inland Empire, CA wore his Shamrock Series jersey but otherwise was in civilian clothes for the season-opening win over Wisconsin on Sunday, Sept. 6.
Viliamu-Asa appeared to practice throughout August at near full capacity as he worked back from the Senior Day injury against Syracuse last Nov. 22.
A preseason All-America candidate, Viliamu-Asa averaged 40 defensive snaps per game in his 11 outings last season. He tied for fourth on the team with 48 tackles and ranked second with 7.5 tackles for loss, including three sacks.

Draymond Green wrapped up a rocky 2025-26 season that saw the Golden State Warriors fall in the play-in tournament, with the veteran forward starting all 68 games while averaging 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 ******* ists.
This offseason, Green has used his podcast to speak freely, and this week he turned his attention to one of the NBA's biggest storylines. However his take has already caught plenty of attention around the league, there is more to why Green feels this way.
Green's comments on his podcast reflect a recent pattern of him weighing in publicly on league matters, from a warning he sent the NBA over Damian Lillard's shooting display to issues touching his own Golden State Warriors locker room. This time, the target was the structure of the salary cap itself, not just the punishment handed down.

"Why is there a salary cap? Why are guys being prevented from making money from team sponsors or league sponsors, or whoever else?" Green said.

Michigan's win over Western Michigan and the Big Ten's ensuing explanation are further proof that it's long past time for the NFL and college football to use game clocks that show fractions of a second.
The No. 16 Wolverines beat the Broncos 13-12 on Saturday night on Bryce Underwood's Hail Mary to JJ Buchanan as time expired. It's an incredible throw and catch; Underwood fired a rocket as he was getting hit and Buchanan went up in traffic to make a fantastic contested grab. But it's also a play that isn't getting the appreciation it deserves because of the way the end of the game unfolded.
Underwood's throw was his second Hail Mary attempt. His first sailed out of the back of the end zone and didn't touch WMU's Micah Davis until there was no time remaining on the clocks that NBC viewers saw at home. As WMU celebrated, it was clear to anyone watching the game from their house or local sports bar that one of the biggest upsets of the season had just happened.
Except, it didn't.
Officials declared that there was one second remaining on the game clock when Davis, who jumped from out of bounds, touched the football. Hours after the play was over, the Big Ten issued a statement explaining the decision and showing a video of the game clock synced to an angle of the play where you can't conclusively see exactly when Davis touched the football. However, it is clear from that footage that the Big Ten's official clock was still showing 0:01 after the ball made contact with Davis.

BECKER, MN — Entering the fourth quarter with a slim lead on Sept. 3, Becker took a commanding nine-point advantage with 7:48 left on the clock. In an outing that had been far from perfect, the Bulldogs could taste victory up two scores in the waning minutes of the game.
Then Orono senior quarterback Finn Dyvik found senior receiver Owen Paulson along the sideline for a 68-yard pitch-and-catch to score the first of 23 fourth quarter points for the Spartans to suck the out of Dwight Lundeen Stadium and escape with a win.
While it may not have been the storybook beginning to Becker's head coach Dwight Lundeen farewell tour after 57 seasons, the two most recent 4A champions did not disappoint as Orono bested Becker 35-28 thanks to its big fourth quarter effort.
Becker got the scoring started in the first half with a 14-0 lead heading into the locker room behind two first-half interceptions and a 40-yard touchdown reception from senior RJ Houle.
The reigning champs stayed calm, though. Coming out in the second half and scoring two unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter, including a second interception by Becker's senior quarterback Tristan Kowalkowski.

Barcelona have emerged from one of their busiest transfer windows with almost the same Financial Fair Play margin they had when the summer began.
According to SPORT, despite spending €182.5 million on new players, the club's remaining Financial Fair Play (FFP) room is estimated at around €65-70 million.
That gives sporting director Deco meaningful flexibility ahead of the January 2027 transfer window, where the club can move for Julian Alvarez.
The figure is striking because Barcelona began the summer with approximately €65 million available under the relevant financial controls.
Their heavy spending has therefore been largely offset by the financial room created through departures, loans and other sources of income.

We're almost there, Miami football fans. The Hurricanes take the field for the first time in the 2026 season this weekend, granted on a weird day for college football on the West Coast against ACC opponent Stanford.
That combination of words isn't as wild as last year's run through the College Football Playoff and all the way to the national championship game. Now Mario Cristobal is ready to secure the program's sixth ****** le with quarterback Darian Mensah and jack-of-all-trades receiver Malachi Toney as his big stars. The restructured defensive front built around run-stuffing defensive tackle Ahmad Moten and former Missouri edge rusher Damon Wilson has a lot to live up to.
They'll get their first test against Stanford, who opened last week with an exciting 37-27 win over Hawaii. Davis Warren, who missed last season after tearing his ACL with Michigan, threw for 310 yards and a touchdown in his debut with the Cardinal, while Micah Ford ran for three TDs and came just shy of 100 yards. This will be Miami's first game in California since East Coast fans woke up to find Cam Ward had led a thrilling 25-point second-half comeback in 2024 over Cal.

Before purchasing the Los Angeles Lakers with Bob Iger, Josh Kushner and his company — Thrive — were at the center of another major purchase. Kushner was expected to be one of the main characters at the center of Gianni Infantino's plan to sell stakes in the World Cup to private investors.
That plan turned out to be a disaster. Opposition from member **** ociations, strongly-worded statements and boycotts turned the soccer world against Infantino, who continues to face criticism and calls for his job today.
FIFA eventually announced that plan was scrapped and Kushner purchased the Lakers a few weeks later.
Until Monday, Kushner had not commented on his involvement with the FIFA proposal. He finally broke his silence, telling Axios he would not have gotten involved at all had he known how much member **** ociations would oppose the deal.
"Money in football has historically been concentrated amongst a small group of countries. The idea behind FFE was to direct more capital and equity equally amongst all 211 member countries, providing significantly more investment to underdeveloped nations to nurture local talent, support grassroots football, enhance the fan experience, and ultimately grow the global game everywhere.

A new chapter of Michigan State football is about to start this week, with new head coach Pat Fitzgerald set to lead the Spartans for the first time on Friday night.
Fitzgerald and the Spartans will begin the 2026 season on Friday in a home matchup against the Toledo Rockets of the Mid-American Conference. This will be the season-opening matchup for both the Spartans and Rockets, who both are under new coaching staffs this season.
Ahead of Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Fitzgerald held his pregame press conference with the local media to preview this non-conference tilt. Here are the notable takeaways and comments from Fitzgerald during his press conference previewing this week's matchup against the Rockets:
Fitzgerald started off the press conference talking about this excitement for game week finally arriving, noting Friday will be fun with all of the pageantry that comes with Michigan State home games.
Fitzgerald noted that there's a different "buzz in the air" now that students are back on campus and it's officially game week.

Marc Ehudin had to wait more than seven hours on Sunday to see if he had reached the match play portion of the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship at Baltimore Country Club in Lutherville.
The wait is over — temporarily.
Ehudin, a Pikesville native and Gilman graduate who now lives in Potomac, learned he will take part in a playoff to determine whether he will be among the top 64 golfers in the match play round. He and 12 others will compete for three spots on Monday at 7:30 a.m. beginning at Hole No. 9 on the East Course.
"To not know where I stood the entire day and then find out, 'OK, I've got to kick it back into gear tomorrow and focus and get ready to play again,' I've got some mental adjusting to do tonight, but I will be very excited tomorrow," said Ehudin, who turned 63 last Monday. "This is a really new experience for me. Didn't get this far two years ago. So a mixture of wishing I had done better yesterday and excitement for what could be tomorrow. We'll see."
Ehudin carded a 5-over 75 on Sunday after opening with a 6-over 76 on Saturday for a two-day total of 11-over 151. That put him on the bubble until about 7 p.m. when he learned he was tied for 62nd.

The footballing day has produced major headlines in Spain and beyond. Real Madrid are looking to make it three wins out of three in LALIGA, while FC Barcelona are facing the final hours of the transfer window at full speed.
Meanwhile, Atlético de Madrid made a statement in Seville, Leo Messi delivered a historic performance in MLS, and the Premier League saw Liverpool held in a thrilling draw.
Real Madrid host Málaga at the Bernabéu aiming to make it nine points from a possible nine at the start of the league campaign. After two convincing victories, Los Blancos want to seal their flawless start to the season in front of their fans before the international fixtures.
FC Barcelona are focusing their efforts on finalising the squad in the closing stages of the transfer window. With Héctor Fort's departure to Real Sociedad already confirmed, the club's sporting department is working against the clock to complete more exits and secure the arrival of a No. 9 to complete Hansi Flick's attack.
Atlético de Madrid put doubts and uncertainty behind them with a significant 3-1 win at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Amid constant rumours surrounding Julián Álvarez's future, Diego Simeone's side beat Sevilla thanks to a brilliant collective display led by Ademola Lookman and Alex Baena.

Even though he'd just showered, Montorie Foster Jr. was already sweating.

Memphis football coach Charles Huff said at his news conference on Aug. 25 that motivational speeches don't mean much once the game actually starts.
But he also said that after Memphis basketball coach Penny Hardaway delivered an impassioned one to the football team about what it means to play at Memphis.
"We carry the city," Hardaway said in a speech that was posted on social media. "We win, it makes our whole entire city better. The people are more happy. The crime goes down, it's already been documented. So when you have that on you, it should mean something. Whether you care about the city of Memphis or not, it should mean something to you. That pride should mean something."
Hardaway would know. He's a Memphis native who played for the Tigers before going to the NBA, eventually returning to Memphis as head basketball coach. He and Huff have built a strong relationship in the time since Huff was hired in December. He already has visited a football practice and said he plans to be around more during the season.
Memphis football has an entirely new coaching staff and a roster made up mostly of transfers. Huff has talked throughout the offseason about using Hardaway to explain to those players what it means to play for the Tigers.

Although the Bundesliga season is about to begin, Borussia Dortmund are still in the hunt for defensive reinforcements. According to Ruhr Nachrichten and numerous other sources, the BVB front office is in negotiations with FC Barcelona for right-back and La Masia graduate Hector Fort. While a deal has not yet been reached, the club is reportedly confident that the transfer will go through soon.
The transfer fee will likely be within the €10-20 million range, with Barcelona willing to go a little lower if Dortmund is willing to add a sell-on clause. While other clubs including Real Sociedad are interested, Fort apparently has a clear preference for Dortmund.
Fort has not had much senior experience. He spent last season on loan at Elche, where he played about 500 minutes, missing most of the season with a shoulder injury. At least he suffered this injury while celebrating a spectacular goal which was apparently voted the La Liga Goal of the Month for December.
While Fort is viewed highly in Barcelona, there is little room in the squad with Eric Garcia, João Cancelo, and at Xavi Espart all ready to play at right-back. With the departure of Yan Couto to Como, BVB desperately need reinforcements at right-back. Hopefully Ole Book can get the move across the line soon.

The India-Sri Lanka series shifts venues for its decider, moving from Galle's spin-friendly track to the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, which is a ground known for offering a very different kind of contest.
Batting first has historically paid off at this venue, with teams regularly posting big totals early in matches, which makes Wednesday's toss potentially decisive.
Rain looms as a genuine concern too, with forecasts suggesting interruptions across all five days, while Colombo's heat is expected to sap energy from the bowling attacks. Spin has still had the upper hand recently, as spinners have picked up 45 wickets across the last three Tests here, compared to 35 for the pacers.
India arrive full of confidence following their commanding 165-run win in the series opener. Devdutt Padikkal, KL Rahul, and Manav Suthar were the standout contributors in Galle. They will fancy their chances of completing a 2-0 sweep, a result that would also strengthen their push toward the 2027 World Test Championship final.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Antoine Griezmann scored two second-half goals Saturday night to help Orlando City beat Real Salt Lake 2-1 to extend their winless streak to seven games.
Maxime Crépeau had three saves for Orlando City (7-11-3), which snapped a three-game winless skid.
Griezmann back-heeled a shot that was deflected and then tapped in the loose ball to give Orlando City a 2-1 lead in the 81st. The 35-year-old, who signed with the club in July, had his first career multi-goal game in MLS and his five goal contributions (three goals, two ****** ists) in six games.
Dominik Marczuk scored his first goal this season to give Real Salt Lake (8-8-4) a 1-0 lead in the 36th. Sam Junqua played an arcing first-touch cross from 35 yards out on the left side to the back post and Marczuk gently rolled in the volley.
Griezmann made it 1-1 in the 53rd minute. On the counter-attack, Daryl Dike's shot from the top of the 6-yard box was knocked away by goalkeeper Mason Stajduhar but Griezmann tapped the putback into a wide-open net.

On the right flank, Molina will make his debut for the Giallorossi.
The Argentine will likely not be the only signing to start.
