NFL rumors: Cowboys named Joey Porter Jr. trade fit, and it makes sense appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
It was a tough Week 1 for the Dallas Cowboys. The same can be said for Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. The Cowboys have been named a trade fit for Porter, and it makes even more sense after the disaster against the Giants.
The Cowboys landed at the top of Fowler's list of potential partners, according to ESPN.
"Dallas has been looking for cornerback help, though more so in the bargain bin to this point," Jeremy Fowler wrote. "The franchise has trade-market rapport with Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan. The sides have reached deals in back-to-back offseasons, as Dallas traded for wide receiver George Pickens in May 2025 and offensive tackle Broderick Jones on Aug. 29.

Down 23-3 in the fourth quarter. Twenty-one unanswered points - against the No. 1 team in the country. A Heisman Trophy campaign that roared back to life. The return of Texas football's running game, redemption for a quarterback and a program, and a huge win over the Buckeyes that has Texas in place to possibly become the new No. 1 team in the country.
Saturday night's 24-23 thriller had it all.
Texas Longhorns' tight end Spencer Shannon (83) dives after Texas Longhorns' defensive back Kade Phillips (8) after Phillips recovered a fumble as the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes face off at Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin on Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026. (Mikala Compton/Austin American-Statesman)
As bad as Texas' start was, as bad as things looked at halftime and the third quarter, as unlucky and plodding as the Longhorns looked, all that turned around in the fourth quarter. After surviving what was probably the worst first quarter of the Steve Sarkisian era, No. 4 Texas produced perhaps the biggest win ever at Royal-Memorial Stadium.
Here are some observations we saw from Saturday's win:

MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers are heading to the playoffs, and baseball's best team left no doubt.
Garrett Mitchell hit the Brewers' first grand slam of the season, one of four homers for Milwaukee in a 20-0 rout of the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night that secured a playoff berth that had long been inevitable.
Manager Pat Murphy celebrated with a toast to his players and clubhouse staff. Afterward, the locker room was subdued, because these Brewers (92-56) hope to accomplish much more.
This will be Milwaukee's fourth straight trip to the playoffs and eighth in nine seasons.
"It's not something to take lightly because it's really hard to do," Murphy said. "We want to see how far we can go and how complete this can be. Remember that the message to the team is that we checked off one box, but we've got a lot more to go."

GUILFORD - New seasons bring new faces. Those new faces could determine the success or failures of teams.
For the Guilford football team, it was a mix of new and old which made a difference in its season opener against Amity.
Behind 86 yards and a touchdown on the ground by junior Shane Connelly, 123 yards and a touchdown in the air by sophomore quarterback Ryan Lynch and a tough as nails defense, Guilford topped Amity 21-7 in a Southern Connecticut Conference contest at Kavanaugh Field at Guilford High Thursday evening.
"We practiced, we knew what they were going to do," Connelly said. "We knew their concepts, and what they were planning to do on us. I think we handled it perfectly."
For Amity, it was the story of missed opportunities as the Spartans could not capitalize until Colt Snowden connecting with Tyler McDaniel on a 10-yard touchdown with 4 minutes, 40 seconds remaining in the game to cut the deficit to 14 points.

The University of Cincinnati send a strongly-worded letter to former guard **** le James, the son of former NFL star running back Edgerrin James, telling him to stop using the school's name and likeness.
"As you are no longer a member of the University of Cincinnati men's basketball program, you are no longer authorized to use, represent, or commercially promote the University of Cincinnati basketball program, including the use of the University's name, logos, uniforms, jerseys, or other team-related likenesses," a message from the school read.
James responded, "I have my own merch I made. I don't need y'all jerseys, and [expletive] Cincinnati for all I care."
The comment came just a few weeks after the Charlotte basketball program issued a roster update without the guard. Now his father, a Pro Football Hall of Fame running back, is adding unfortunate context to the situation.

With the points race secured on Saturday, Sunday's American Flat Track Springfield Mile II SuperTwins race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds was simply riders racing to win.
For Davis Fisher, it was a chance to gain momentum for his 2027 campaign.
Fisher put his KTM 790 Duke motorcycle past Australia's Tom Drane by just 0.009 seconds to win the season finale, his first win since 2021.
"We had seven podiums this year, (but winning) feels great," Fisher, of Warren, Oregon, said. "Going into Springfield, the team worked as hard as they could. They knew what we had and said, 'It's up to you.'
"How we finished (Saturday, fourth place), it was kind of hard on me, but coming on top in the last race of the season, feels pretty good carrying it into next season."

LSU Blowout of Clemson by the numbers: Kiffin's Tigers dismantle opponent in every facet of game originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
In a relatively underwhelming slate of games for Week 1, Saturday night's showdown between the No. 11 LSU Tigers and Clemson was expected to make up for the overall lackluster day of games. To amp up the anticipation, the game was delayed over two hours thanks to lightning and storms in the area that pushed kickoff to 9:40 p.m. ET.
LSU entered as 10-point favorites but ended up winning by 41, winning by a final score of 51-10. If the final score wasn't indication enough, LSU completely dominated Clemson in virtually every statistical facet of this game.
Let's take a deeper look at the numbers to show just how dominant LSU was.

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed Wednesday that Shohei Ohtani's knee pain after a slide on Tuesday isn't significant enough to keep him off the field, but the accumulating injuries are still having an impact.
Roberts weighed in on Ohtani's health when speaking with Dodgers Nation's Ava Brand and other reporters on Wednesday.

"I know there's times that people talk about him wincing around third base, but everything that he's told me and the training staff, he feels good," Roberts said.
That said, Roberts confirmed that Ohtani's injuries are keeping him from pitching — and from possibly playing in the outfield as well.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic is widely considered one of the NBA's best players. After winning the scoring ******* le in the 2025-26 season, Doncic firmly established himself as one of the best scorers. But where does he rank as a playmaker in all-time conversations?
The NBA has seen its fair share of great point guards. As one of the most vital positions on the floor, the NBA's list of great point guards features an extensive collection of the league's most creative and intelligent players, with some even redefining the rules of the game.
During a recent appearance on "3's and Ones," former NBA player Lance Stephenson was asked to share his list of the top five point guards in NBA history. While some of Stephenson's answers seem justified, one in particular stood out, as he shared:
"Isiah Thomas. This is not in order. Magic Johnson. Jason Kidd. Stephen Curry. That's four? I got Luka."
For the most part, the first four names mentioned on his list were players that the panel agreed with, and given their accomplishments, the selections seem justified. Still, the mention of Luka Doncic in Stephenson's top five turned some heads, with former NBA player Michael Beasley even referring to it as a "hot take."

It was that time of year again when the early rounds of the English League Cup were being played in the midst of a hectic Premier League schedule. Sunderland had played their first four games of the season following promotion and, despite an exciting victory over Tottenham Hotspur on the opening day, had failed to win since, picking up just one point from their next three games.
Included in that run was a dismal 3-0 defeat away to Wigan Athletic, a result that shocked supporters given the inept nature of the performance. A home defeat to Liverpool compounded the misery before Roy Keane's side travelled to London to face Luton Town in the League Cup.
Keane made just four changes to the team that had faced Liverpool and, in hindsight, the decision did little to ease the growing frustrations surrounding the side. Sunderland were comprehensively beaten 3-0 by the Championship outfit, who took great delight in their victory as chants of "Premiership, you're having a laugh" rang around Kenilworth Road.
Greg Halford's dismissal certainly didn't help Sunderland's cause, but this was now four consecutive defeats and, more concerningly, the manner of those defeats was beginning to cause genuine concern among the fanbase.
On the very same evening, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest were also meeting in the League Cup, with Sunderland loanee Clive Clarke lining out for Leicester.

Alvaro Cortes appears increasingly close to leaving Barcelona, with journalist Gerard Romero identifying Elche as one of the possible destinations for the young defender.
Cortes has decided to bring his time at the club to an end this summer after Barcelona's plans to strengthen the left side of their defence changed his prospects of earning regular opportunities in the first team.
The academy graduate had hoped to remain at the club he has spent his career with and fight for his place in the senior squad.
Instead, Barcelona's decision to search for a specialist left-footed centre-back has altered the sporting picture around him.
His departure is now believed to be only a matter of time, with Elche emerging as one of the options available to him.

The Premier League is back but clubs remain eager to add players and move them on with the pressure of early results tipping the balance.
The Premier League has spent over £2.5bn this summer, with Morgan Rogers at £117m the biggest signing of the summer.
Other big signings that topped the £100m mark include Elliott Anderson (£116m) to Man City and Sandro Tonali (£100m) to Tottenham.
But more big-money deals could go through before the window closes, with Liverpool eager to spend big on a winger, and linked with Bradley Barcola, while ****** nal have also been linked with the PSG star.

Tadej Pogacar produced another peerless performance as he soloed to victory from 50km from the finish on the mountainous fourth stage of the Vuelta a Espana.
The Slovenian, who is riding the Vuelta for only the second time in his career and for the first time in seven years, was the overwhelming pre-race favourite and had been widely expected to put the competition to bed in the opening week.
Stage three's cancellation due to severe hailstorms prevented him from making a late raid on the final climb to Font Romeu and delivering that statement of intent.
But he made up for lost time on stage four, attacking on the second of three category-one climbs, the Collada de Beixalis. None of his rivals had any response to his acceleration on the 6.5km, 8.5% climb, and they were left scrapping among themselves for the minor places over the remaining 50km.
Victory in Andorra la Vella marked his longest solo victory at a grand tour, at the only one of the three which he is left to win, and his second in four days, having claimed victory and the leader's jersey on stage one's individual time trial.

When addressing speculation regarding a potential homecoming to European basketball, particularly within the EuroLeague, the 32-year-old playmaker made it clear he has no intention of simply bolstering an established continental powerhouse. "People often ask me if I could come back to play in Europe, especially in the EuroLeague," he noted during a recent appearance on the OMR Podcast. "But in that case, I'd be helping another club become bigger. I prefer to return to Braunschweig, where it all started, and play here."

ONE SAMURAI 3 has been bolstered by another massive addition, as four-time Muay Thai World Champion Ryuya Okuwaki collides with Chokdee Maxjandee in an atomweight Muay Thai showdown built for fireworks.
Their high-stakes clash emanates live from Yokohama Buntai in Yokohama, ****** an, on Saturday, September 12, further fueling the buzz around a card already featuring some of ****** an's finest martial artists — reigning ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Nadaka, former ONE Flyweight MMA World Champion Yuya "Little Piranha" Wakamatsu, Hyu "Mister Pepper" and Shimon Yoshinari.
That evening, Okuwaki, who trains out of EIWA Sports Gym in Yokohama, will have a chance to improve to 4-0 inside ONE Championship on home turf.
The 25-year-old brings an eight-fight winning streak into this matchup, a run built on speed, explosiveness, and a knack for picking his shots with surgical precision. Since making his promotional debut in August 2025, Okuwaki has proven himself every step of the way.
He opened his account with a second-round head kick knockout of Nueaphet Kelasport, followed that up with a clean unanimous decision over Pet Suanluangrodyok, and most recently folded Hern Looksuan with a vicious body-shot barrage in the second round.

Progressive Insurance announced Tuesday that Colorado is one of 13 programs included in a new college football sponsorship agreement that will place the company's branding on the field. The deal, arranged through Learfield, will also include video board features, LED signage, digital content and other game-day activations.
Colorado joins Boise State, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Purdue, SMU, Syracuse, Texas Tech, USC and Wake Forest in the agreement. Progressive's on-field placement will vary by school, with logos expected near sidelines or at the 25- or 50-yard lines. Financial terms were not released, but Sports Business Journal reported the arrangement is expected to be a multiyear deal.
The logo will debut during the 2026 season, giving Colorado another corporate presence at Folsom Field as the athletic department continues to pursue new revenue. That has been a priority for athletic director Fernando Lovo, who has discussed expanding sponsorship opportunities as college sports move deeper into revenue sharing and NIL-driven roster building.
"We are excited to be a part of the college football landscape with this investment," Progressive media business leader Sean Freeman said in a release. "It is an opportunity to support the collegiate student-athletes at these storied institutions."
For Colorado, the agreement is less about a logo on the turf than the money behind it. The Buffs are competing in an era when every additional revenue source can affect facilities, staffing and athlete resources.

There was plenty to be positive about for Hearts fans after their 6-2 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
New signings got a chance to stake a claim and plenty delivered, with Ugandan winger Rogers Mato and French midfielder Tom Renaud impressing.
But one of the best showings came from a player who was already at the club last season. Well, for half of it anyway.
After returning from a loan spell at Tottenham Hotspur, where he made no first-team appearances after joining in January, James Wilson looks to have a future at Hearts.

Your recap for the Cubs' 11-4 loss to the Cardinals Sunday is basically in the headline. Edward Cabrera returned from injury, got hit hard and didn't have command, and then Dansby Swanson took a swing in the third inning and immediately came out of the game.

UNCASVILLE, CT – The celebration surrounding the careers of Chamique Holdsclaw and Candace Parker as the latest members of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame is a welcome reminiscence of Lady Vols basketball incredible history.
It is also, unavoidably, a stark reminder of where the Tennessee is right now.
The Lady Vols recorded the worst winning percentage in program history at 16-14 last season, which ended with an eight-game losing streak. All eight returners entered the transfer portal following Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell's second season, and Caldwell had to rebuild her entire roster.
Holdsclaw, who led the Lady Vols to three straight national championships during her career from 1995-99, was asked for her perspective on the state of the program a day before the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame enshrinement for the 2026 class on Aug. 15 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Holdsclaw said it has been "a common conversation" amongst former Lady Vols.
