If you thought Philip Rivers' return to become the Colts' starting quarterback last season was a shocking development, Purdue football great Drew Brees reportedly discussed an even more improbable return.
ESPN reported Brees and Denver Broncos coaches discussed Brees returning to play for the franchise in last year's AFC Championship Game. The Broncos lost quarterback Bo Nix to an ankle injory in their AFC Divisional Round victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Brees, 47, had not played a game since his retirement from the New Orleans Saints after the 2020 season. According to ESPN, he wanted to work out prior to making any commitments. After doing so, he said he encountered wrist pain and decided against pursuing a return.
ESPN's report said even Broncos coach Sean Payton -- Brees' coach with the Saints -- did not know of the discussions until the summer.
The Broncos instead went with their actual backup, Jarret Stidham, in a 10-7 loss to the New England Patriots.

When a collapse this spectacular happens, every mistake deserves a second look.
For Ohio State, there were plenty to examine.
The Buckeyes spent three quarters looking every bit the best team in the country their No. 1 ranking warranted. Then came the the final 15 minutes that saw them blow a 20-point lead in a stunning 24-23 loss to Texas.
The Longhorns deserve credit for a furious fourth-quarter rally. After digging themselves into a deep hole with a series of early mistakes, they responded with 21 unanswered points to pull off one of the season's biggest comebacks.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — It was that deep for Missouri football.
Before Friday night's Border War matchup, the second in the revived rivalry between two of college football's fiercest foes, Kansas posted a video to its social media accounts that made blunt, hardly subtle references to the rivalry's roots and the Civil War.
There were snippets of various Civil War-era figures, including John Brown and William Quantrill. Included in the 90-second clip narrated by former KU nose tackle Gilbert Brown, was the phrase "there's right and wrong, there's Kansas and Missouri."
It went viral. The Jayhawks played it again on the videoboard shortly before kickoff at David Booth Family Memorial Stadium.
That, in no uncertain terms, rubbed Mizzou and its head coach the wrong way.

India continue to make their presence felt at the top of the Women's T20I bowling rankings, with Sree Charani holding on to the No. 1 spot and Deepti Sharma making a two-place jump to sixth following her strong showing at the Asia Cup 2026.

Deepti has been one of India's standout performers in the tournament, claiming eight wickets in three matches as the team booked its place in the semi-finals.
The right-arm spinner's consistent performances have earned her a significant rise in the latest rankings. Deepti, who had previously reached the top spot in December last year, is now within 60 rating points of Charani. Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Nonkululeko Mlaba and Lauren Bell are the four bowlers positioned between the two Indian stars.

With Charani and Deepti occupying the top two positions, India continues to dominate the upper reaches of the T20I bowling rankings.
Several players also made significant gains in the latest T20I rankings after their performances at the Asia Cup. Bangladesh's Marufa Akter was among the biggest movers, climbing 19 places to 18th in the bowling rankings. Chamari Athapaththu moved up five spots to 28th, while Sultana Khatun gained nine places to share 37th.

Thailand's Thipatcha Putthawong rose four places to 47th, while teammate Suleeporn Laomi jumped 10 spots to 53rd. There were also gains among Bangladesh's batters, with Sobhana Mostary moving up three places to 36th and Dilara Akter climbing five spots to 62nd.
The latest ODI rankings also saw notable movement following England's home series against Ireland. Stand-in England captain Charlie Dean moved up one place to jointly occupy ninth in the ODI all-rounders' rankings. She also climbed two spots to share 11th among ODI bowlers after taking three wickets in the three-match series.

England's Lauren Filer made an impressive 14-place jump to 39th, while Ireland's Cara Murray rose 16 places to 50th in the ODI bowling rankings.

Ireland youngster Amy Hunter emerged as the biggest winner among ODI batters, moving up nine places to 11th. England's Maia Bouchier climbed 13 spots to 42nd, while Sophia Dunkley made an even bigger leap of 26 places to reach 43rd.

All of the hype and the hoopla of the offseason was quickly wiped away for Notre Dame. Despite the "leave no doubt" mantra and the focus on starting fast — the football gods had something to say about it with Wisconsin and Lambeau Field. In the end, however, the Irish put in enough work to get a 41-13 win over Wisconsin in the season opener.
Both Notre Dame and Wisconsin started the game with a 3 and out and followed them up with a field goal each. Spencer Porath's three pointer was the first Irish field goal since October of last year.
Notre Dame's offense just looked apprehensive and way too conservative with a quarterback like CJ Carr, and they tried **** ing and dunking to no real success. The Irish caught a big break, however, when Wisconsin fumbled the kickoff after the Porath field goal, and Ko'o Kia recovered the ball (seemingly) inbounds. A few plays later, Carr found tight end James Flanigan for the first touchdown of the season.
Wisconsin, however, fought back and Badger WR Malachi Coleman put a move on Jayden Sanders to get wide open and Colton Joseph found him in the corner of the end zone to tie the game up at 10 a piece. Notre Dame answered that Badger score with another field goal, but looked basically inept on offense for the rest of the half. The Irish went into the locker room up 13-10, and they had a lot to discuss.
To their credit, Notre Dame found new life at the start of the third quarter with the opening possession of the half. The Irish went 70 yards on 9 plays, and Aneyas Williams found the end zone with a shifty three yard run. The momentum looked real because on Wisconsin's ensuing possession, cornerback DJ McKinney intercepted a Colton Jospeh pass and took it 55 yards for a touchdown to make the game 27-10.

A man born without arms has had his first taste of life as a racing driver, after taking his newly adapted race car out on a circuit for the first time.
Callum Smith, 23, was spotted by recruiters at Team BRIT earlier this year, but it has taken several months to adapt a race car for him, adding a steering wheel that can be controlled with his feet.
Now the rookie driver has had his first opportunity to take the car out for a spin at Donington race circuit and said the "raw emotion" of the day was "just completely different to how I had it planned out in my head."
"I don't think there's too many words to describe the feelings and the sensations of it all", Smith added.
Paul Fullick is Team BRIT's GT3 driver and was in the passenger seat for the track day giving advice on the circuit and car.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Offensive linemen rarely receive much promotion or have preseason marketing campaigns built around them.
However, with three NFL draft candidates, the University of Cincinnati is trying to change that.
Left guard Evan Tengesdahl, left tackle Joe Cotton and center Taran Tyo aim to turn Nippert Stadium into the Football House of Pancakes. The trio anchors an offensive line that was among the best in the nation last season.
The linemen have been featured on billboards throughout Cincinnati, along with television and radio advertisements, ahead of Saturday's game against Boston College.
"They deserve the promotion. They were one of the top offensive line units in the country last year, and you've got a bunch of them back," coach Scott Satterfield said. "Most of the time, you don't give O-linemen much love. They never get to score, they don't get to make catches or carry the ball. They get their joy in seeing running backs score or blocking for the quarterback."

Pablo Torre, the journalist whose reporting led the NBA to crack down on the Los Angeles Clippers for circumventing the league salary cap rules, said he is not done with the story.
"There is more to come than is in the NBA report,'' Torre said Wednesday, Sept. 2 during his podcast, Pablo Torre Finds Out. "This is not everything.''
Torre, 40, and his two co-hosts did not provide specifics. But Torre did offer a couple of hints while pointing to the findings of an investigation conducted by referring to a law firm hired by the NBA, Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz
The investigation has centered one player, Kawhi Leonard, and how the Clippers funneled him money in violation of the league's salary cap rules after signing him in 2019, according to a summary of the law firm's investigation. Torre cited mention in the summary of an unidentified second player.
Torre also pointed out the investigation findings did not include Dennis Wong, the Clippers' co-owner. Steve Ballmer, the team's controlling owner, has been suspended from all league and team activities for a year.

I feel as though I have already written this recap about 20 times this season. The Dbacks starting pitching was able to keep the team in the game, but the offense never got going in this one as they have yet to get a hit with RISP this series.
Perhaps the tone of the day was set before the game even started when the team announced the reinforcements have finally arrived! In the form of Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Blake Walston…. Yawn. Definitely not what the fans had in mind when the reinforcements kept getting brought up going into the trade deadline. Feels a lot like the game today, yawn.
Eduardo Rodriguez was ok allowing 3 runs, but labored through a couple of long innings that knocked him out of the game after just 5 innings. He threw 31 pitches in the first inning alone.
Gerardo Carillo really struggled in this one as he came in and could not throw strikes and wound up walking a batter and giving up 2 hits resulting in 3 ER. The Philles were really able to execute on offense tonight as they were able to do the job and put the ball in play with runners on base and hit sac fly RBI's to go along with 13 hits against the Dbacks pitching staff.
The top 4 of the Dbacks order Perdomo, Carroll, Moreno, and Marte went a combined 1-15 tonight. This group flat out needs to start producing if this team is going to contend. And specifically Corbin Carroll continues to really be struggling as of late as he is just 1-9 in the series so far and 2-19 since the start of the Giants series. Its also worth noting that Carroll appeared to be grimacing while running up the line in the 6th inning and may be worth monitoring as he may be playing through something. According to Torey in the postgame, Carroll has some low back discomfort the last couple of days but in Torey's words "its that time of the year" and is "in there tomorrow".

With the 4-0 win against Lecce behind them, it's already time for Roma to focus on their next league match against Atalanta. At Trigoria, all eyes will be on Evan Ndicka's condition.
The defender was expected to start at the Via del Mare on Monday evening, but a problem he picked up during the warm-up forced Gian Piero Gasperini to make a last-minute change to Ghilardi.
According to Il Tempo and Il Romanista, Ndicka will need to be evaluated upon the resumption of training to determine the full extent of the problem and his availability for the match against Atalanta.
Positive signs are emerging regarding Devyne Rensch.
The Dutch winger, who missed the Lecce match, is expected to be close to returning to the squad and could be available again during the week.

The Philadelphia 76ers will be a much different-looking team when they take the floor in October after the moves they made in the offseason. The Sixers were able to add two decorated players in Jaylen Brown and LeBron James in an effort to make life easier for Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid to get Philadelphia to the mountaintop of the league.
The Sixers have been the clear winners of the offseason with both Brown and James winning championships and finals MVP awards. That new star duo will look to help the Sixers end a long ******* le drought and give this team the boost it needs to finally get over the hump and end some long droughts in the playoffs, which has been noted plenty of times this offseason.
Jason Williams, who won a championship with the Miami Heat in 2006, gave his thoughts on the James-Brown duo for the Sixers as he believes they're the two best players for Philadelphia:
They're the best two players on that team. If LeBron James is in the league, he'll be number one on my list, every list, till I die. That's just what it is with me...You can never fix your mouth to say that Maxey is better than LeBron James, you can't.
As talented as James and Brown are, and they will certainly make a difference for the Sixers, it will likely come down to Maxey and Embiid as this is still their team. James and Brown are here to help them get the job done rather than the other way around. Williams makes a point, but the Sixers will need Maxey and Embiid to be great for this group to make the leap they need them to make in order to win that championship.

Barcelona made it six points in two games with their win over Athletic Club last night as they took the Basque giants down with a 2-0 scoreline at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Pedri, Pau Cubarsi and Anthony Gordon entered the starting lineup on the night and the team looked comfortable, yet threatening from the get-go.
Raphinha eventually scored the opener with some wonderful footwork and Barcelona toiled to earn the second goal to pull free of the competition.
Eventually, a bit of luck and Fermin Lopez's lethality helped the team secure the 2-0 win and helped them back to the top of the table.
Barça Universal brings you three takeaways from Barcelona 2-0 Athletic Club.

One of the busiest teams in this NBA offseason is bringing a sharpshooter and four-time NBA champion to its roster. Klay Thompson is joining the Miami Heat.
On August 21, four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson agreed to sign with the Heat. That's after he reached a contract buyout with the Dallas Mavericks.
Thompson becomes the final key piece in the Heat's contending team build for the upcoming season.
As previously reported, the Mavericks' numerous offseason moves put the team into a corner. Klay Thompson was clearly the solution to their current roster issue.
Before Klay Thompson was bought out, Dallas had 16 players under standard contracts, one over the NBA's roster limit.

Even for the Cleveland Browns, their quarterback situation is an unmitigated disaster.
Two days after he lambasted Browns fans for being "disrespectful" and booing him during their exhibition game, Deshaun Watson has been named the starting quarterback heading into the 2026 season.
The 30-year-old, who was accused of ****** ual misconduct and ****** ault by dozens of women during massage therapy sessions, then missed the 2025 season rehabbing a twice-torn right Achilles tendon, beat out Shedeur Sanders, who ended last season as the starter. Head coach Todd Monken had said on Sunday that Watson's comments wouldn't be a factor in the decision.
"I think the whole world knows it has nothing to do about the performance," Watson said on Saturday about the fan reaction. "It's a little bit [more] personal than that. So I think it's a disrespectful thing. So yeah, I mean, I'm going to keep whatever I feel with me and my family internally on how I feel about that. And yeah, just move on."
On Monday, Watson started his press conference with a two-minute statement apologizing to fans.

Richard Petty has collected just about every honor the racing world has to offer. His next one will extend well beyond NASCAR.
North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein announced that Petty will receive the North Carolina Award, the state's highest civilian honor, during a ceremony at the Lenovo Center in Raleigh on Nov. 17.
Petty is one of six North Carolinians selected for the honor in 2026, but his inclusion comes with another distinction: The seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion will become the first motorsports figure ever to receive the North Carolina Award.
For a man whose career and life have become almost inseparable from the state's racing identity, it is a fitting piece of history.
Created by the North Carolina General ****** embly in 1961, the North Carolina Award recognizes significant contributions to the state and nation in literature, public service, science and the fine arts.

Michael Penix Jr. has been cleared for 11-on-11 competition, Atlanta Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters Saturday after his team's 34-6 road win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 of the preseason.
"He'll practice Monday in team periods," Stefanski said.
Penix had been limited this offseason while recovering from a partially torn ACL that required season-ending surgery last year. That setback marked the 26-year-old's fifth season-ending injury in the span of eight seasons between his college and NFL careers.

Rewind a few weeks and Liverpool were facing a centre-back crisis.
Virgil van Dijk didn't travel for the preseason tour to the United States leaving head coach Andoni Iraola with a dearth of viable options.
Jeremy Jacquet was still struggling with injury - along with Giovanni Leoni - while Joe Gomez's injury on tour added to the problems.
With Ibrahima Konate departed for Real Madrid we saw Mor Talla Ndiaye, Ifeanyi Ndukwe and even Luke Chambers all entrusted with starting duties.
Given Ndukwe wouldn't be eligible for the season ahead owing to visa issues this was a far from ideal scenario. But the picture has eased somewhat since then.

HLN are reporting that Barcelona are now joining Chelsea and Manchester United in monitoring Club Brugge striker Nicolo Tresoldi. The young German forward has already been the subject of serious interest from AS Roma, who had a bid of around €35m rejected by Club Brugge. For Barcelona, they had been hoping to bring in Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, but the Argentinian forward will remain in Madrid for the time being. Hansi Flick is said to be keen on Tresoldi joining Barcelona, with the German head coach having already seen the striker up close when he scored against Barcelona for Club Brugge during the Champions League last season.
However, Barcelona will have to submit an offer that Club Brugge simply cannot refuse if they want to secure Tresoldi. The Belgian champions are keen to keep the striker for at least one more year, as they believe his value will only increase after a stellar first season with the club. They have also already lost a key player from last seasons ***** le winning side in Christos Tzolis and, while they would sell if the offer was astronomical, have ambitions of going deep in Europe and regaining the ***** le, with Tresoldi a key component in those ambitions. Club Brugge clearly understand that the young German forward will not be with them forever, but they are also hoping to maximise their returns from him on the pitch before turning to those potential returns off the pitch.

The Giants are set to sign running back Najee Harris and his arrival will reportedly result in the departure of one of his former Steelers teammates from the NFC East team's roster.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Giants plan to release wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in a corresponding move. Smith-Schuster and Harris were both in Pittsburgh during the 2021 season.
Smith-Schuster signed with the Giants in early June, but is listed as a fourth-string receiver on the team's depth chart. He did not play in the team's first preseason game.
Smith-Schuster, who was a 2017 second-round pick in Pittsburgh, had 33 catches for 345 yards and a touchdown while with the Chiefs in 2025. He also played in Kansas City in 2022 and 2024 with a one-year run in New England splitting up his two stints in the AFC West.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) — While the University of Evansville women's volleyball coach, Zach Weinberg wants to continue to build the foundation of his culture he also wants to compete in year two with the Purple Aces.
UE welcomes a class of five new-comers this season including four freshman and one transfer.
After a (6-22) season in his first year at the helm of the program he said he focused on adding players with a lot of success to the group to bring a more competitive edge.
"We don't set out every single match to say alright, we're playing today let's go win," Coach Weinber said. "We set out to compete and the wins are a byproduct of that. But we feel like we're in a better position this year to win more matches. Our squad is deeper than it was a year ago, so for us it's about being more competitive more of the time and seeing those results translate to the court."
Despite losing some star players from a season ago and accepting that there will be hiccups this year his team echoed the sentiment about wanting to play at a higher level this upcoming season.

Belfast Wolves CEO Neil Maxwell believes the new European T20 Premier League is a "wonderful opportunity" to grow the game across the continent.
A former Fiji international who played his club cricket in Australia and New Zealand, Maxwell has observed the success of the Indian Premier League [IPL] and feels the ETPL can make a similar mark in Europe with non-traditional cricket nations.
The fledgling competition will see six teams, two from each of Ireland, Scotland and the Netherlands, battle it out of four weeks to be crowned winners with top team after the round robin advancing to the final, while second will play third to join them.
It all begins on 26 August with Voorburg, Netherlands hosting the first phase before the action moves to Malahide in Dublin from 9 September, all culminating in the final on 20 September.
"It's a way for grassroots cricket to connect with international cricket and an opportunity to bring top-class players to Europe to expose the game to everyone," Maxwell told BBC Sport NI.

The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly agreed to sign former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. The signing is not yet official, as the franchise is still working out details with the league on the timing and viability of the signing, while Arnold continues through the legal process involving eight felony charges from an incident in Florida earlier this year.
"We have an agreement with him, and we'll see," Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said. "But I just really don't know how we're going to do it."
On Sunday, Lions coach Dan Campbell was asked about the league's interest in Arnold following Detroit's decision to cut him shortly after the first-round cornerback was arrested in June. Campbell was completely understanding that several teams—reportedly at least eight—were doing their research on Arnold.
"No, I'm not surprised. Every team is going to do their due diligence," Campbell said. "So it's like we would if we were in their seat, like Seattle or New York or whatever; we would've done the same thing. Let's see what we can find out, whatever we can.
Arnold was selected by the Lions in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 24th overall. While his career never budded in Detroit, there were flashes that he would reach his full potential. As defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard put it a few weeks ago, Arnold "had number one cornerback potential, but it was still untapped."

NBA 2K27, the latest installment in the popular video game franchise, is scheduled to be released on Sept. 4, with some people getting early access starting on Aug. 28. With a few weeks to go before it becomes available, some of its player ratings are being leaked.
Walker Kessler, the Lakers' new starting center, is considered an elite shot-blocker and rebounder, and he should considerably help the team in both categories right away. In NBA 2K27, he is rated as the ninth-best shot blocker with a rating of 93 in that category. San Antonio Spurs superstar center Victor Wembanyama is first in that department with a 99 rating.
Overall, however, Kessler only has an overall rating of 81, which ranks 100th overall among all players.
A few fans on X (formerly Twitter) felt Kessler should have been rated a bit higher.
The 25-year-old has career averages of 9.5 points on 68.1% shooting, 9.3 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 25.3 minutes a game. He has never been a big offensive threat other than converting on lob passes and offensive rebounds grabbed near the rim, but in the five games he played last season, he showed very early signs of adding a 3-point shot by hitting six of eight attempts from that range.

The brass at Real Madrid have been responsible for the best part of half of the spending on the transfer market in Spain's top-flight across the summer to date.
This of course comes as Florentino Pérez and co. continue work towards building a squad capable of wrestling back La Liga supremacy from arch rivals Barcelona this coming season.
Los Blancos, thus far this summer, have secured the signings of six players. Two have come in the form of free transfers, namely Ibrahima Konaté and Bernardo Silva.
The other four, though, have required those in a position of power at the Santiago Bernabéu to open their chequebook.
To tie up deals for Denzel Dumfries, Marc Cucurella, Yan Diomandé and Carlos Espí, Real Madrid have been forced to part with a collective €225 million. And as since revealed by Spanish outlet Diario AS, putting this outlay into perspective:

Folarin Balogun has given the green light to join Tottenham Hotspur this summer, according to French journalist Santi Aouna. The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club want to sign the AS Monaco striker, and the former ****** nal forward is open to joining them. However, Spurs have yet to table any any official bid, but talks are ongoing between the North London club and Balogun's camp. The 25-year-old American did not get an opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League while with the Gunners.
He spent time on loan in the Championship with Middlesbrough and in Ligue 1 with Reims. The Tottenham target left permanently in 2023 to join Monaco but is now relishing a chance to return to England and prove himself. Balogun ended last term with 19 goals in 43 games for the French club and could be the perfect competition and cover that Spurs need for Dominic Solanke.
The Englishman is struggling with fitness issues and Tottenham simply need to sign another striker this summer.
