Franco Morbidelli will serve a long lap penalty in Sunday's Misano Grand Prix. The FIM MotoGP Stewards judged him guilty of "riding slowly online disturbing another rider," this time impeding Enea Bastianini at Turn 13 during Friday afternoon practice, according to the stewards' penalty notice.
The Stewards classified the incident as MGP-SR3, "Dangerous slow riding during any session," and made clear the punishment reflected a pattern rather than a single lapse. "Taking into account the rider's multiple offences during the season, the appropriate penalty in this case is a Long Lap Penalty," the notice read. Crucially, the sanction applies only to Sunday's Grand Prix and not the Sprint on Saturday. To serve the penalty, Morbidelli will need to ride through a designated path off the racing line, which can typically add 2 to 5 seconds of lap time.
"I know it's a pity and I know a lot of people will hate, but I can **** ure you that my intention is never to be dangerous or to impede," Morbidelli posted on Instagram. "Let's be honest it happens because I'm not clever enough on those slowing down moments."
The penalty puts a damper on what may be Morbidelli's final home Misano weekend in the premier class. Morbidelli is leaving the VR46 team at the end of this season, and is expected to race for Ducati's World Superbike team in 2027. Squandering a Q2 starting berth with a long lap in front of his home crowd is exactly the kind of complication he didn't need on a farewell weekend on the Riviera.

Nico Schlotterbeck and Ramy Bensebaini have resumed team training after their injuries and are available for the match against Paderborn. "They are fit, healthy, and ready to play this weekend. I can count on both of them," said Kovac.
Konstantinos Karetsas will not be involved after having to be substituted in the match against FC Villarreal due to circulatory problems. Sporting director Ole Book had said of him: "He is doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Further tests are being carried out, and we want to get to the bottom of it very thoroughly."
Also unavailable are Emre Can (torn ACL), Filippo Mane (muscle injury), Giannis Konstantelias (torn ACL), and Samuele Inacio (suspension following a red card).
Kovac also had words of praise for new signing Ethan Nwaneri, who came on as a substitute last weekend against Hoffenheim and on Tuesday against Villarreal. "He has settled in superbly. He's a great lad, very calm, down-to-earth, friendly, helpful, and a very good footballer," said Kovac. "In those two brief appearances, he showed that he can help us. I'm very satisfied with him."

Tennis icon and 18-time Grand Slam champion Chris Evert has been away from her broadcasting duties since her ovarian cancer returned for the third time following her initial diagnosis in 2021. Evert is currently undergoing treatment and has stepped away from broadcasting at Wimbledon and the ongoing US Open.

"Hearing her voice on the USTA Foundation commercials reminds us that ChrissieEvert is a) so thoroughly decent and charitable and oozing with grace b) so thoroughly missed here," Wertheim wrote on X.
Evert was quick to share a couple of responses to Wertheim's heartfelt post.

Former Arizona State star running back Cam Skattebo said he thought about walking away from the NFL a month after suffering a serious leg injury during his rookie season last year with the New York Giants.
"Yeah, definitely," Skattebo said during an appearance on the "Up and Adams" podcast with Kay Adams that aired on Thursday, Sept. 3.
"I would probably say a month in, like the first month was kind of like, 'Damn, do I really want to do this?'"
Skattebo told Adams earlier during the podcast that he had decided on that contingency plan once he left the Sun Devils and joined the Giants as a fourth-round draft pick.

WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue volleyball coach Dave Shondell was celebrated Tuesday night at Mackey Arena after the Boilermakers swept Texas A&M.
It was Shondell's 513th career victory at Purdue, surpassing Hall of Fame men's basketball coach Gene Keady's total of 512. Shondell's achievement was announced and promoted as a Purdue record for most head coaching victories.
While it is a Purdue record for a coach in one sport, according to Purdue record books, that career win total ranks second in Boilermaker history.
Rising up: With All-American out, Purdue volleyball duo 'played beyond expectations' to beat reigning champs
Ward "Piggy" Lambert is credited with 371 wins in 29 seasons as men's basketball coach (1917 and 1919-46) and 163 in 20 seasons (1917, 1919-35, 1945-46) as baseball coach, giving Lambert 534 career victories leading Purdue programs.

More and more NFL figures are addressing the current chaos in college football. And most of them don't like it.
Texans G.M. Nick Caserio joined the chorus on Tuesday, with two observations.
"First of all, it's ridiculous," Caserio told reporters. "Secondly, it doesn't really impact our job. The whole concept, we could spend an hour having that discussion. It doesn't necessarily materially impact kind of what we're doing specific to training camp and those types of things. If they are in college, if they go back to college, you just evaluate them as if you would through the college lens, through the college process. We didn't have any players that fell under that restraining order so it wasn't really going to affect us. Conceptually it's affected basketball as well. There was a kid that went back to Alabama that was in the G-League. Look, if you're a professional player then you're a professional player. To go from being a professional player to a college athlete or amateur athlete, the whole thing is kind of ridiculous."
But is it really ridiculous to expect the NCAA to adopt a five-year rule while also denying a fifth year to those who didn't have access to one? Plenty of players who entered the draft would have stayed put if they'd known they'd have another year.
All problems in college sports trace to a system that denied compensation to players for as long as possible and the problems the reckoning has created. The players are simply reacting to the circumstances, and attempting to secure fair treatment under the relevant rules.

With 19 more losses, the 2026 San Francisco Giants would become just the second team in franchise history to lose 100 games.
Does the three-digit number matter? To some, yes.
"I would say it does," starter Landen Roupp said. "That's not something we want to do. Regardless of whether we're in it or not, we still want to win baseball games and compete. I would say it's a thing that we don't want to hit."
Others believe once a team drops out of contention, the actual number of Ls is beside the point.
"To me, what difference does it make if you lose 95 or 100 games?" shortstop Willy Adames said. "You're out of the race, what's the point of the discussion? I see it as a disappointment either way."

Lexie Hull lands multiyear deal with Unrivaled before WNBA break originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Lexie Hull's season will not end when the Indiana Fever play their final WNBA game. Unrivaled announced Friday that Hull signed a multiyear contract with the three-on-three league, securing her place in the expanding offseason competition.
"Lexie Hull is Unrivaled," the league announced on X, adding that the Fever guard would return for the league's third season.
The timing made the news even sweeter for Hull. It arrived before Indiana's final game ahead of the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup break and during a promising turnaround in what has been a challenging individual season.
Hull entered the weekend averaging 5.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 ****** ists. Those numbers were down from her averages of seven points, four rebounds and two ****** ists during the previous campaign. Her production, however, recently began moving in the right direction.

Brandon Staley is heading into his second season as the Saints' defensive coordinator, but his previous experience as an NFL head coach has him thinking about what a second chance in that spot might look like.
Staley earned a reputation for being ultra-aggressive while going 19-15 in his first two seasons as the head coach of the Chargers, but the weight of some of those decisions misfiring and a blown 27-point lead against the Jaguars in the playoffs put him on the hot seat when the 2023 season started badly. The Chargers wound up firing him after Week 15 and Staley spent the 2024 season with the 49ers before joining Kellen Moore in New Orleans.
Staley said "as tough and impossible as it was at the end" of his time with the Chargers, he feels he has to use them the right way to grow as a coach. He shared what he thinks he would do differently if given another opportunity to run a team.
"I would have a lot more poise and composure in terms of knowing when to push and when to pull," Staley said, via Jeff Howe of TheAthletic.com. "I was trying to push it, and I was trying to get us there as fast as we could. When you have more experience, you know when to do both of those things. You just have a better feel and understanding, and that's in all aspects of being a leader. That's why the next time, I just have so much more experience now — I didn't have any back then. I could have done a better job. I know for a fact I would do a better job just with more turns at it, living through more — little decisions and big decisions."
There's high hopes for the Saints heading into this season thanks to a strong finish to last year after handing the offensive reins to quarterback Tyler Shough. If Staley's defense can help push the team even further this fall, he could get a chance to expand on his new coaching philosophies with teams looking for a new head coach.

Tony Romo has received three new citations stemming from his arrest in Milwaukee on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
According to online court records, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback and current CBS Sports **** yst was cited for first-offense operating while intoxicated, unsafe passing on the right side and possessing open intoxicants in his vehicle. Romo had already received a citation on July 27 for refusing to take an intoxication test after his arrest.
Romo is reportedly due in court for all four citations on Sept. 21.
His camp also released a new statement to the Journal-Sentinel:
"Tony accepts full responsibility for his actions and has taken proactive steps to ensure that this isolated civil matter is properly resolved. We are working with local authorities to bring this matter to a close and we are communicating with CBS about next steps."

Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell make WNBA history as Fever's unstoppable duo originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Indiana Fever did more than dismantle the Chicago Sky in a 113-90 victory Sunday. They watched Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell add another entry to the WNBA record book.
Clark scored 37 points and handed out 10 ******* ists, while Mitchell added 30 points in the lopsided win. It marked the third time the teammates have each scored at least 30 points in the same game.
According to the Fever, no other duo in WNBA history has accomplished that feat three times.
Indiana celebrated the achievement by making a bold declaration on social media.

Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong struggled at the plate in the series opener against the D-backs at Chase Field on Monday night, going 0-for-5. The closest Armstrong came to a hit (potentially an HR) was a deep fly ball to center field, but it was easily caught by the outfielder just before the warning track.
Armstrong, already rounding the bases, had just touched first base when he saw the flyout and, in frustration, slammed his helmet onto the infield dirt track. Dan Clark, an MLB ******* yst and the founder of Dan Clark Sports, known for sharing unbiased opinions on the latest in baseball, criticized Armstrong for his reaction.
"More immaturity from PCA last night, wildly throwing his helmet in anger after flying out. IMO, this is setting a terrible example for young kids watching baseball. MLB needs to stop promoting this guy and his reckless behavior," Clark wrote on X.
While the star CF had a quiet night at the plate, the Cubs piled on runs, with Michael Conforto and Carson Kelly hitting home runs and four other batters recording an RBI each. The pitchers, led by starter Kevin Gausman, were absolutely clinical, sealing a standout 7-0 shutout win in the series opener against the D-backs.
In 132 games this season, Armstrong maintains a .278 batting average, with 33 home runs, 83 RBIs, and a .929 OPS. He's projected to hit 41 home runs and drive in 102 RBIs by season's end.

When asked to identify college football programs that have elite talent at receiver even as freshmen, the first answer that crosses most people's minds is the Ohio State Buckeyes. The USC Trojans, however, aim to change that narrative with their most recent recruiting class. The Trojans also have a couple of talented freshmen who will be positioned to contribute to the offense.
Here are some freshmen on offense who could make a big impact for the USC Trojans:
Redeaux has track speed at the running back position. If he gets any carries this season, there is a good chance he will find his way to the end zone with his speed alone. With his breakout in fall camp, It is very likely he ends up as the 3rd back on the depth chart. Having to deal with thunder and lightning in King Miller and Waymond Jordan, and then having to deal with Redeaux's home-run-hitting speed, spells trouble for Big Ten defenses.
Boobie Feaster is a big play waiting to happen, and he has showcased that already in much of the Trojans' fall camp footage. There is a good shot that he will be the starting slot receiver, and with that, he will make many big plays for the Trojans this season. It is players like this that will be so necessary when facing defenses like Oregon, Ohio State, and Indiana. Lincoln Riley will love getting the ball in Feaster's hands. More often than not, Feaster will make both Riley and Jayden Maiava right.
Mosley will be a guy that Lincoln Riley will try to get involved, given how much of a playmaker he can be with the ball in his hands. He has game-changing speed and was already dubbed this year's potential Adoree' Jackson for the Trojans. His skill set will be useful on special teams, and if the Trojans can get production in that area to complement their offense, that could make a difference in some pivotal games this year.

Will Ospreay didn't know if he would ever wrestle again almost a year ago. The All Elite Wrestling's "Aerial ***** assin" suffered a terrifying injury with two herniated discs at the C2 and C6 vertebrae that required serious neck surgery in September 2025. However, given the 33-year-old's track record and overall, not returning to the ring was out of the question.
The English star trained like a mad man with the hope of making it back to perform in front of fans and family during All In on August 30. He ended up coming back miraculously in March. And not only will the Owen Hart Cup winner compete at historic Wembley Stadium, he's in the main event challenging Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship.
It's a dream scenario where expectations are high for the two to deliver one for the ages. Ospreay feels the weight on his shoulders, but also the excitement at reaching the top of the proverbial mountain. Here the Londoner sits down with us ahead of the biggest match of his career.

Put into perspective the journey in the last year from having this surgery that brings a number of uncertainties to now gearing up for this huge night in Wembley.

Last week, ABC broadcast its coverage of the 2026 Patriot Games, an event United States President Donald Trump announced last year as part of the country's America 250 celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.
The event, which promised to include "the greatest high school athletes" in the country as they competed for scholarship money, was broadcast in a primetime slot on ABC, was attended by Trump himself, and was praised by ESPN star Pat McAfee, who also attended the event alongside the president.
Despite all of that, the television ratings suggest that the event was an overwhelming failure, and Trump has been openly mocked as a result.
Trump unveiled the Patriot Games in 2025 as a first-of-its-kind athletic competition intended to celebrate America's 250th birthday.
"In the fall, we will host the first-ever 'Patriot Games,' an unprecedented 4-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes, one young man and one young woman from each state and territory," Trump said at the time.

The story of Armando'Hormiga' González with Chivas began long before his goals at AKRON Stadium. In 2018, at just 15 years old, he joined Guadalajara's youth academy to play for the U-15 team, also driven by a family story: his father, Armando GonzálezBejarano, wore the red-and-white jersey and passed down his love for these colors from an early age.
That is how the journey began for 'Hormiga', who grew up surrounded by stories of the Rebaño and went on to create his own within the Club.
His path through the Red-and-White Academy took him through different age groups and was marked by several achievements: he won championships with Chivas at the U-15 and U-17 levels, before enjoying one of his best tournaments in the Apertura 2023 with the U-23s, when he claimed the Golden Boot with 13 goals in the regular season and was also a key player in helping the Rebaño win the category ****** le, scoring 5 more goals in the playoffs, including the opening goal in the Final against Tigres. Earlier, on November 18, 2020, he had taken his first steps in professional soccer with Tapatío in Liga de Expansión MX.
On January 13, 2024, the time came to officially wear the First Team jersey and make his Liga MX First Division debut. That afternoon, Armando came on as a substitute in the 84th minute against Santos Laguna on Matchday 1 of the Clausura 2024, and from then on, he began turning everything he had learned over the years into goals, prominence, and moments that will remain in the memory of the red-and-white fans.
His breakthrough came in Apertura 2025. With 12 goals, he became Liga MX's Golden Boot winner, and in Clausura 2026 he scored another 12 to reach 24 goals for the soccer year.

With the Portland Fire's 82-79 loss to the Toronto Tempo on Friday, the Indiana Fever became the fourth team to clinch a berth in the WNBA playoffs.
Indiana joins the Minnesota Lynx, Golden State Valkyries and defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces in ****** uring spots for the postseason. The Fever lost an opportunity to directly clinch a playoff bid with a 91-85 defeat versus the Dallas Wings on Thursday.
Indiana has now made the playoffs for the third consecutive season, coinciding with Caitlin Clark joining the team as the WNBA Draft's No. 1 overall pick in 2024, after a seven-year absence from the postseason.
Last season, the Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream in the first round of the playoffs before losing to the Aces in a five-game semifinal series.
At 24-13 going into Saturday's matchup with the New York Liberty (22-15), the Fever currently hold the No. 4 seed in the WNBA standings, a half-game ahead of the Atlanta Dream. Following their 124-88 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday, the Dream (23-13) play the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday.

Noche UFC, the mixed martial arts and fighting promotion's celebration of Latinos in the sport set for Glendale, Arizona, on Sept. 12, has adjusted its main event due to an injury.
José Delgado is in the main event of Noche UFC after Yair Rodriguez pulled out due to an injury, Rodriguez said in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Delgado faces Jean Silva in a featherweight bout at Desert Diamond Arena.
Rodriguez (21-5-0) has not fought much over the past two years, and now it looks like he will have to wait until 2027 to fight again.
"I wanted this fight, and I know many of you did too," he said in Spanish on Instagram. "Now my job is to fully recover and return ready to compete at the level you expect of me and that I expect of myself."
Delgado, from Mexico, is 4-1 and has been in UFC for only about a year and a half. He made his professional MMA debut in March 2022.

LIV Golf members all packed into the Chatham Hills clubhouse on Tuesday night to meet with CEO Scott O'Neil and the new, still unnamed, investor that is supposedly set to bankroll the venture next season.
But after that meeting, even with very little actual info coming out, it doesn't sound like everyone is on board with the league's future plans.
"The investor is excited, but obviously there's a few things that need to be figured out," Martin Kaymer said, via ESPN's Paolo Uggetti. "It's still early to tell what next year will look like, but they're working very hard to get more specifics."
LIV Golf's future has been uncertain for weeks, ever since Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced that it would no longer fund the startup league after the 2026 campaign. The season will end after this week's tournament in Indianapolis, too, after the team championship was called off. It marked the second canceled event of the season.
The league is now facing multiple lawsuits, and some players are still waiting on payments from the Bedminster tournament in New Jersey earlier this month, according to the Sports Business Journal. The league has reportedly been running on loans for months.

The Blue Jackets are still negotiating a contract extension with star center Adam Fantilli and haven't revealed details about their new NHL-produced television broadcast, but they have released plans for training camp and the preseason.
More: Columbus Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski wants to stay with team 'long term'
Following the Blue Jackets' participation in a prospect tournament Sept. 12-15 in Detroit, they'll open NHL camp Sept. 16 with player medical evaluations. The first day of skating will be Sept. 17, followed by the preseason opener against the Detroit Red Wings on Sept. 21 at Nationwide Arena.
The Jackets will play only four preseason games before hosting the Buffalo Sabres to start the 84-game regular season Oct. 1 at Nationwide Arena.
Fantilli, 21, is the lone Blue Jackets player without a contract. He's a restricted free agent for the first time and is due a large pay raise coming off an entry-level contract signed shortly after the Blue Jackets selected him third overall in 2023.

On Monday, Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who agreed to purchase the majority share of the Los Angeles Lakers that Mark Walter bought last October, became set to also purchase the share of the team that the Buss family still owns.
The family voted to sell its stake in the franchise to Kushner and Iger, but that transaction has hit a snag because Jeanie Buss, the governor of the Lakers, is contesting that vote, according to ESPN.
"Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss is contesting her siblings' vote to sell the family's remaining 17.8% share of the Lakers, according to a letter from her lawyer obtained by ESPN," wrote Ramona Shelburne.
"ESPN's Shams Charania reported earlier Monday that the Buss family voted to sell their remaining shares to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger at the same $12.5 billion valuation that Mark Walter agreed to last week. They believe they have the right to sell based on a tag-along provision that had been included in the previous sale to Walter in June 2025. Sources told ESPN that provision gave the family rights to tag along on any sale and valuation Walter secured for his shares."
Per the original transaction involving Walter, Kushner and Iger, Buss was set to remain the Lakers' governor through 2030. But if the Buss family is to sell its stake, she would no longer hold that role.

The news that the Seahawks and cornerback Devon Witherspoon reached agreement on a contract extension over the weekend was celebrated in Seattle and it caught the attention of many people in New England as well.
Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez is also in the market for a new deal and a common reaction to Witherspoon's extension was that it paves the way for Gonzalez to get his own contract situation settled. Gonzalez has not been practicing for the last week, which the Patriots have said is due to a physical issue and head coach Mike Vrabel said on Monday that he thinks the corner's case is not directly tied to Witherspoon.
"Everything is pretty unique to itself," Vrabel said. "Whether that's negotiations, players, the play that we're running — certainly those are unique and individual situations. We'll try to focus on Christian's and I know he'll focus on his own situation. We'll continue to work through that and he'll continue to try to improve and try to get back out on the field."
Gonzalez and Witherspoon share an agent, so there's some link between the cases of two players who will wind up at the top of the pay scale at the position even if it might not be as easy as dominos falling one after another. For now, though, Gonzalez remains off the field as the Patriots prepare for their Week 1 trip to see Witherspoon and the Seahawks.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alec Bohm had five hits, Jesús Luzardo pitched 6 2/3 dominant innings and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Minnesota Twins 9-1 on Saturday night.
Bohm doubled in the second, fourth and ninth innings and singled in the fifth and seventh for his first career five-hit game.
Bryce Harper had two hits and Bryson Stott homered for the Phillies.
Luzardo (11-5) struck out nine and walked two while allowing just one run to continue his outstanding season. The first-time All-Star has allowed two or fewer earned runs in 15 of his last 17 starts dating to late April.
Connor Prielipp (4-5) allowed eight runs on eight hits while walking four and striking out six over five innings.

Torquay United manager Jimmy Ball says his side "won a fight" as they scored late on to win 2-1 at Tonbridge Angels.
Matt Jay's 83rd-minute winner secured the Gulls' first National League South victory of the season after last week's 1-1 draw at home to Horsham.
Torquay debutant Kian Jenkins scored direct from a 17th-minute corner to give Ball's side the lead.
Callum Morton hit the post with a long-range effort early in the second half that almost made it 2-0, but the hosts struck back midway through the period thanks to Ethan Sutcliffe's close-range strike.
But Jay was on hand to get the winner as substitute Sean Robertson played in the former Exeter City forward to score from 10 yards.
