ONTARIO — When the Ontario Warriors needed a big play the most, junior Cardae Brown wanted his number called.
In the Warriors' 17-7 Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference victory over the Clear Fork Colts in a battle of unbeatens, the Warriors were stuck with a decision to make. Leading 14-7 and looking at a long third-down play, coach Aaron Eckert was contemplating what to do. Then, Brown piped up.
"Cardae is a tremendous athlete who will have opportunities to play beyond high school," Eckert said. "He came to me and said to put him on a post and lets go win this game and as a coach, you have to listen to your players. He made a catch over two guys and made the game-winning play."
HOW'D WE DO? Tables have turned for NJ Pickers as they make Week 4 football picks

Stephen A. Smith Calls Out Drake Maye and Romeo Doubs After Patriots Loss originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
With A.J. Brown expected to be out for the next four games, there is going to be a lot of focus on multiple players in New England's offense.
At the top of that list will be Romeo Doubs, who finished Wednesday night's game, his Patriots debut, with zero catches on three targets.
This was about as ugly of a start to the year as anybody could have imagined, though it's also important to recognize that it was just the first game of the season and Doubs will get more comfortable as the year goes on.
Despite that reality, it doesn't sound like Stephen A. Smith of ESPN is giving him much grace or time to figure things out. In fact, Smith had a lot to say about what could happen if Brown is injured, and none of it was very kind to Doubs.

The NFL season starts this week and Fox Sports' Nick Wright is ramping up his defense of Patrick Mahomes' honor. Wright has taken on the unenviable task of fighting the good fight against the haters and losers who disagree that Mahomes is the GOAT. He wants people to know that Mahomes, the two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl MVP is the best quarterback alive. And to do that he's ready to have to tear down some false idols like Josh Allen in the process.
That's exactly what happened on Wright's latest podcast. His new point of contention is that Allen cannot be the best because he doesn't have any signature wins. And if you try to remember a signature win, you'll actually think about a loss.
MORE: 1 question facing all 16 AFC teams entering 2026-2027 NFL season
"Close your eyes," Wright said into the camera. "Tell me what comes to mind when I say this: Josh Allen's greatest win in the NFL. You thought of a f—ing loss. You thought of the 13 seconds game. Do it again. What's his signature win? Beating Trevor last year in Jacksonville in round one? Each of the last four years, when the Bills' season comes to an end, the quarterback on the other side of the thoroughly outplayed Josh."
Wright then looked at who Allen has won and lost against in the playoffs.

STATE COLLEGE – Shortly before coaching his first football game Saturday at Penn State, Matt Campbell stood and surveyed Beaver Stadium while trying to soak in the atmosphere.
He didn't feel the formidable responsibility of leading the Nittany Lions weighing on his shoulders. He felt more thankful than anything else.
"It was really special to come out, watch our fans and watch what this place feels like," Campbell said. "You look up and see those teams on the press box (suites above the east stands) and you think about some of the great coaches and players who have been here.
"You're just grateful to have the opportunity to lead this football team and represent this program the right way."
Campbell's debut in blue and white couldn't have gone better as Penn State routed Marshall 45-0 before an announced crowd of 108,489.

Round 13 of the 2026 Formula 1 season heads to Monza, the home of Ferrari, for the Italian Grand Prix, from 4-6 September.
McLaren's Lando Norris took his second win in a row in the first race back from the summer break in a chaotic farewell to the Dutch Grand Prix.
Norris has since signed a new contract with McLaren that will keep him with the team until the end of the 2030 season.
He was joined on the podium by Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli, who extended his lead in the drivers' championship to 59 points over team-mate George Russell, who finished third, and Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton.
Mercedes say Antonelli will have a grid penalty at Monza because of fitting a new engine. Doing so will mean he has exceeded the permitted number of engine parts over the season.

Now that the Houston Rockets have locked up Amen Thompson with a five-year, $208 million contract extension that runs through the 2031-32 season, they can rest easy knowing their young core is secure for several seasons.
Thompson, Alperen Şengün, Jabari Smith Jr., and Tari Eason all have agreed to contract extensions over the past two years that can keep them together through at least the next three years until Şengün reaches the player option in his contract that he can pick up for the 2029-30 season.
The Rockets' entire roster actually is pretty secure for the next two seasons. Of the players expected to be in the rotation, only Fred VanVleet and Bogdan Bogdanovic definitely will be a free agent next offseason. Kevin Durant has a player option for $46.1 million he can pick up to play another year in Houston, and Marcus Smart, who signed with the team in July, has a $6.3 million player option for 2027-28.
Here's a look at the contract for each Rockets player entering the 2026-27 season ...

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling will take the field for his first NFL regular season game inside of a cricket pitch in Australia roughly 7,900 miles from Levi's Stadium.
While Stribling surely hopes to leave Australia with a victory, he has a much different hope for the one thing he's hoping to see or do while the team is in the Southern Hemisphere.
"Yeah, I kind of want to see a kangaroo," Stribling told reporters in the locker room after Tuesday's practice. "Just because. You know, see how big they are. So that's really it."
There's a pretty good chance Stribling will get his wish, particularly if he goes looking for one. As of 2023, there were around 35 million kangaroos living in Australia per the Australian government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (h/t GoEco.org).
Stribling should have plenty of time to go out searching for a kangaroo since they're not particularly difficult to find and the 49ers will have a ton of time in Australia before their game on Friday in Australia (Thursday in the United States). The 49ers arrive in Australia on Friday (Australia time), they have a bonus practice Saturday and then some down time until their practice week begins.

PARIS, FRANCE - JANUARY 23: Sandro Mamukelashvili of San Antonio Spurs slam dunks in the NBA game between San Antonio Spurs and the Indiana Pacers at The Accor Arena on January 25, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images)
The Indiana Pacers currently sit somewhere that they are rarely found: over the luxury tax.
In fact, the Pacers haven't been a tax paying team since the 2004-05 season. In the two decades since, the franchise has always finished with a team salary below the luxury tax line and received a distribution of money from the league's taxpaying teams.
Since 2005, the only NBA teams to never cross the luxury tax threshold are the Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons, Charlotte Hornets, and Sacramento Kings. Reporting suggested that the Pacers may have been willing to do so in the 2025-26 season after their run to the NBA Finals, but Tyrese Haliburton's injury changed everything before Myles Turner left in free agency.
Since 2001-02, the Pacers have finished a season above the luxury tax barrier three times. Yet right now, they are in a position where if no money saving moves are made between now and the last day of the league year, that streak would end at the conclusion of the 2026-27 season.

Quarterback Connor Bazelak fell behind rookie Jalon Daniels on the Buccaneers' depth chart this offseason and he's now off the roster altogether.
Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports that Bazelak is being waived as part of the team's moves to get to the 53-player limit by Sunday afternoon's deadline.
Daniels started the Bucs' final preseason game after making a push for the No. 2 job behind Baker Mayfield this summer. Jake Browning is the other quarterback on the roster in Tampa.
Auman reports that the Bucs are also waiving running back Barika Kpeenu, tight end Kenny Fletcher, guard Nash Hutmacher, defensive tackle Travis Shaw, and linebacker John Bullock.

Jermall Charlo was supposed to finally return to the ring in July after fighting just twice in the last five years, but visa issues prevented him from traveling to Australia, so his fight with Koen Mazoudier was canceled.
The boxer, who grew up in Alief and lives in Sugar Land, will finally get his shot at Mazoudier when the two face each other on the undercard of the super welterweight ***** le fight between reigning champion Sebastian Fundora and Ermal Hadribeaj on Oct. 17 in Las Vegas. The tripleheader, which also includes Weslaco's Brandon Figueroa defending his featherweight ***** le against Tomoki Kameda, will be broadcast on TNT.
Charlo (34-0, 23 KOs) is still undefeated, but he's been out of action since he stopped Thomas Lamanna in May 2025.
Taking on Mazoudier (16-4-1, 6 KOs), who is a relative unknown outside of Australia, should be a tune-up fight for Charlo, who has his sights set on bigger fights down the road if he can knock off the ring rust that's accumulated from years of little action.
The 36-year-old was one of the best boxers in the world, winning the middleweight ***** le in 2015, then successfully defending it three times before moving up to super middleweight and winning that ***** le as well. He won five straight ***** le defenses at super middleweight, but after beating Juan Macias Montiel in front of a raucous hometown crowd at Toyota Center in June 2021, Charlo faced several hurdles outside the ring, including a bout with depression.

Aston Villa's summer planning has taken another intriguing turn, with Athletic reporting that the club have "made an approach to Bayer Leverkusen for striker Christian Kofane". It is a move that says plenty about the market Villa are working in, and even more about the uncertainty surrounding Ollie Watkins.
According to the report, Villa are "long-standing admirers of the 20-year-old, with interest pre-dating his transfer to Leverkusen in 2025". That line matters. This does not read like a rushed reaction to a difficult week, it feels more like a name already established on the club's internal list, now pushed forward by events.
The central issue remains Watkins. The report states he "has made clear he wishes to join Al Hilal", a significant development for a player who has carried so much of Villa's attacking burden. Villa's stance, for now, is firm. "Last week, Villa rejected a fourth offer worth £45million for the 30-year-old and do not wish to sell him." Even so, the article adds that "Villa are stepping up contingency plans, with Kofane among the options to replace Watkins."
Photo IMAGO
Leverkusen's position appears equally clear. They "do not wish to sell Kofane and do not intend to do so after club-to-club contact was made by Villa." That leaves Villa in a familiar transfer-market balancing act, admiration on one side, resistance on the other.

ATLANTA (AP) — The PGA Tour is reshaping its postseason for 2028 by ending the year with a Tour Championship played over two weeks at different golf courses involving match play.
PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp announced the changes Tuesday before the Tour Championship, which currently is 72 holes of stroke play for the top 30 players. Whoever wins the tournament is declared the FedEx Cup champion and earns $10 million in official money from the $40 million purse.
Starting in 2028, the BMW Championship — the only postseason event that rotates is being held that year at Olympia Fields near Chicago — will be for the leading 90 players on the points list. Points from the season continue, and the leader will be the season champion and bonus money distributed accordingly.
The top 32 after the BMW Championship will be broken into eight groups of four-player pools. The leading two players from each pool advance to the final event, which will be match play over four days. Even players eliminated early will play through Sunday to determine final positions.
That means the BMW Championship will offer three trophies — the BMW Championship, the Western Golf ******* ociation and the PGA Tour Championship Series Finale.

Christopher Bell knew something had gone wrong almost immediately.
What he did not know was exactly what had happened behind his No. 20 Toyota.
Bell's pit stop during Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway produced one of the day's most frightening moments when right-side tire changer Blake Houston was knocked to the pavement as Bell pulled out of his pit stall.
Bell went on to recover and finish fourth. But after the race, his attention returned to the moment on pit road and, more importantly, Houston.
Bell explained that the sequence began with the signal he uses to leave his stall.

Superb strikes by Benjamin Nygren, and Camilo Duran have put Celtic within touching distance of the money laden group stages, but admittedly Celtic did ride their luck at times, as the Austrians had two goals ruled out for offside, as well as passing up a host of other chances.
The Finnish International said: "I think we can be better, as weird as it may sound. The big moments went for us and there's a lot that we can do better.
"Ultimately we've come away with a 3-0 win so we've got to be happy, but I think there's a lot more to come from the group."
Despite Duran, and Nygren taking the plaudits thanks to their magnificent strikes, Sinisalo played his part by pulling off a couple of vital stops that went a long way in maintaining our three goal advantage.

In the summer of 1997, I was a young sports reporter in Salt Lake City and got an ****** ignment that, at the time, didn't exactly feel like covering the Super Bowl. I was a sideline reporter for the Utah Starzz during the inaugural season of the WNBA. Yes, Starzz. With two Z's. It was Utah in the '90s. Apparently, everything needed to rhyme with Jazz.
I remember standing in the arena during that first season. Looking around some nights at what felt like a few hundred people scattered throughout a building designed for thousands more. The official numbers were better than my memory makes them seem. Utah averaged 7,611 fans that first season, but the Starzz still ranked dead last in attendance in an eight-team league.
I remember thinking something that, almost 30 years later, I can safely admit. This thing isn't going to make it.
Great call, John. Thankfully, social media didn't exist yet to preserve that take for eternity.
The WNBA began in 1997 with eight teams and a 28-game schedule. I respected the players and the basketball, but I certainly didn't see what was coming. I'm pretty sure ****** ody standing next to me in Salt Lake City was whispering, "Just wait 30 years until these franchises are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and Amazon is fighting for streaming rights."

Dana White and Eddie Hearn continue to be at odds with one another.
For much of 2026, White and Hearn have been engaged in a public feud, with the two even briefly discussing boxing each other. The primary friction between the two stems from White's move into boxing promotion with Zuffa Boxing — taking some of Hearn's fighters — and Hearn's move to take on a few high-profile MMA fighters to manage. But lately, their biggest issue has been the planned heavyweight superfight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Fury and Joshua are supposed to fight in their long-awaited matchup before the end of the year, and earlier this year, White claimed to be the promoter of the fight. Hearn disputes this claim, and when rumors began circulating on Tuesday that an announcement was imminent for the fight to take place in November at Madison Square Garden, Hearn shot that down.
"Actually, I should be suing Dana White, because what he's doing is, he's actually purporting to have the ability to stage the fight there, and he's using my client to do a venue deal that he has no rights to," Hearn told About Boxing. …
"The reality is, now, TKO are coming on, asking me if they can be involved. So Dana White's gone from being the promoter of the event to asking if he can be involved. And rather than going, 'Fuck off!' I'm saying, why? Why should I let you be involved in this event? Break it down for me. Tell me how it benefits Anthony Joshua. Tell me how it benefits Matchroom. Tell me how it benefits my fighters. What do you want to do? Do you want to do Matchroom vs. Zuffa 5 v. 5 on the undercard? OK, if it gives my fighters an opportunity.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy joked Tuesday that he had the blessing of his wife, Mia, to return to the team after she was shot at their Virginia home because, well, "I know I was driving her and a bunch of my family members crazy in the house."
Mia was shot the evening of July 26, and the couple's 27-year-old son, Elijah, was arrested. Eric left the Chiefs right away to help his family through the crisis, and he returned to camp last week ahead of a preseason loss to the Rams.
"First and foremost, yes, she's on a great road to recovery. Yes, she's doing great," Bieniemy said of his wife, speaking to reporters for the first time since she was rushed to the hospital with multiple wounds. "It is one of the main reasons that I am back here, because of her recovery. She's truly a soldier. She's a saint. And it's been incredible to watch."
Bieniemy was never far from camp, even while he was back home in Ashburn, Virginia. He was able to watch streams of practice from Missouri Western State University, and he was often conferenced into team meetings before and after the workouts.
At one point, he called Chiefs general manager Brett Veach — who he knew was seated beside coach Andy Reid — and told him to give Big Red the phone. Bieniemy proceeded to remind Reid to get on one of his players for a seemingly minor coaching point.

The Dodgers needed a get-right game, and apparently all they needed to do was come to Coors Field.
After going 5-11 in their last 16 games, being swept by the Red Sox and Cubs, while also dropping series to the Diamondbacks and Brewers, the Dodgers looked their regular selves on Monday, hitting three homers, while Blake Snell held the Rockies to two hits and one run in six innings on the way to a 11-5 blowout.
To summarize the vibe of the night, through eight innings, the Rockies had as many hits — two — as fielding errors and the best part of the broadcast was the footage from the Savannah Bananas takeover of Coors Field over the weekend.
At least the Rockies tried to come back, putting up a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't nearly enough.
It only took nine pitches for Tomoyuki Sugano (菅野 智之) to retire the mighty top of the Dodgers lineup — Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Andy Pages — on three ground ***** in the first.

Former Detroit Lions fan favorite Craig Reynolds has found a new NFL home, and it comes with a familiar organization.
According to ESPN Commanders reporter John Keim, Reynolds is signing with the Washington Commanders after working out for the team over the weekend.
The move comes just days before Washington travels to Ford Field to face the Lions in Saturday's preseason matchup.
For Reynolds, this is actually a return to where his NFL career began.
The former Kutztown running back entered the league as an undrafted free agent with Washington in 2019, appearing in three games before stops with Atlanta and Jacksonville eventually led him to Detroit.

So many rehabs! As we round the stretch of the 2026 season, the Red Sox will be getting reinforcements from several long-injured players (though in the case of some of these players, it's an open question as to whether they're improvements over the current options). First up is Trevor Story, who is planning on playing today for AAA Worcester. Then comes the big guy: Roman Anthony is slated to play on Tuesday for AA Portland. Then it will be Isiah Kiner-Falefa making his rehab debut on Wednesday alongside Story in AAA. (Alex Speier, Boston Globe)
The rehabs come at an opportune time, as it looks like the Red Sox just lost another bat to injury. Masataka Yoshida left last night's game with a strained left hamstring and is likely headed to the IL. "I think he's going to be down for some time," said Chad Tracy. (Ian Browne, MLB.com)
To be frank, losing Masa isn't much of a blow, as he's barely contributed this season. Losing Sonny Gray, on the other hand, would be a major blow, as he's turned himself into the team's ace in the absence of the injured Garrett Crochet. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)
Jake Bennett hasn't turned himself into an ace like Gray, but he has turned himself into an unexpected key contributor at the back end of the rotation. In the midst of an outstanding season, he has struggled a touch lately, but neither he nor Chad Tracy sounds all that worried at this point. (Sean McAdam, MassLive)
Speaking of aces, the Sox were scheduled to face Paul Skenes today. But Skenes, who has had a shaky season this year, is being pushed back to later this week. The Sox will instead matchup against reliever Lake Bechar in what looks like it's going to be a bullpen game. (Rodney Knuppel, NESN)

Newly minted Devon Witherspoon — who agreed to a record $132 million contract extension with $101 million guaranteed Saturday morning — plus Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp, Leonard Williams and the Super Bowl-champion starters did pregame warmups in full pads.
All 22 expected starters on offense and defense when Seattle begins defense of its Super Bowl **** le Sept. 9 in the NFL season opener against New England on this same field watched this preseason game from the sideline in their jerseys, no pads and white team caps.
The fullest action the starters are likely to get this preseason will be Friday when they scrimmage the Tennessee **** ans' starters in a joint practice in Nashville.
They spent Saturday night running off the sideline, jumping up and down and celebrating big plays by their backups.
One of the two biggest one was wide receiver Rashad Rochelle's 52-yard punt return weaving through Cowboys late in the third quarter. Middle linebacker Ernest Jones and Witherspoon were the first Seahawks off the sideline to congratulate Rochelle, an undrafted rookie from Indiana State. Jones slapped at him with a towel.

In competition with Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson started the first preseason game for the Browns on Saturday against the Bears and played the entire first half.
The results were middling.
Watson ended his two-quarter outing 11-of-15 passing for 126 yards. The Browns scored a field goal and a touchdown with him in. But Watson was not particularly impressive, at times looking uncomfortable in the pocket and firing inaccurate passes. He was also strip-sacked on a fourth-and-2 from the Chicago 40 as the Browns were trying to extend a drive early in the second quarter.
Most of Watson's yardage came on a 43-yard screen pass to Dylan Sampson late in the first period. He attempted just one pass over 10 yards in the air.
Head coach Todd Monken mentioned to reporters during the week that the Browns would do everything they could to get a two-minute drill, and they had that opportunity when rookie corner Michael Coats picked off Tyson Bagent late in the second quarter. But Cleveland did nothing with it, as Watson threw a pair of incompletions on second and third down on the ensuing possession.

There was a lot to like for the Raiders in their home opener. Especially if you were stil struggling with PTSD from watching their disaster of an offense last year. But there was also plenty of issues and players who didn't make a great first impression on the new coaching staff. Do they fall down and stay down? Or do they get up, dust themselves off and come back stronger next week? We shall see. For now, they are...
The two drafted rookies have been battling for the starting left cornerback job. They came out together with the second team defense in this game, Masses on the left and McCoy on the right. And proceeded to get torched for much of the game.
Their first drive of the game, Masses gave up a nine-yard catch on third and four and missed a tackle on an 11-yard run on third and one. The next play McCoy gave up the touchdown catch.
Next drive, Masses gave up a 14-yard catch on third and six and a few plays later, McCoy gave up another touchdown catch. Coming out the half, Maxxes gave up a first down catch on fourth and two and two plays later, McCoy gave up an 11-yard catch that put them back in field goal range.
He too came in with the second team defense. The first drive -- which was the second TD drive for the Cards -- he was flagged for unnecessary roughness when he tried punching at the ball well after the runner was ruled down and the play was over. Two plays later he gave up a nine-yard catch. On the third TD drive of the game, between catches given up by Masses and McCoy, Eichenberg gave up a ten-yard catch, a seven-yard catch, and missed a tackle on a run to set up a third and short.

The Chicago Bears were back on the practice field at Halas Hall on Tuesday for their 12th practice of training camp ahead of Wednesday's scheduled off day.
Things weren't as intense of physical as initially teased, according to the media, and Tuesday's practice lasted just short of two hours. The offense started off strong, where running back D'Andre Swift had some nice long runs. But the defense closed the gap near the end of practice. Defensive back Cam Lewis was spotted going through individual work at practice, a positive sign as he recovers from injury. Linebacker Devin Bush also had the "play of the day" against backup quarterback Tyson Bagent.
Here are some observations, from media members in attendance, following Tuesday's training camp practice:

Georgia annually produces some of the nation's best high school football talent, and the 2026 season is loaded with proven stars, elite recruits and future college standouts. Before kickoff, Rivals recognizes the players expected to define the season with its preseason All-State team, highlighting the top talent at every position across the Peach State.
Quarterback: Kharim Hughley, Gainesville – The Clemson commit finished his junior season with 2,400 yards passing and 33 touchdowns. Hughley is good with his legs to extend plays, he can throw the ball on the move and he took Gainesville to state championship game last season.
Running Back: Gary Walker, Creekside – This time a year ago, Walker was not being talked about the way he should have. After a junior season where he rushed for over 1,600 yards, was a key part of a record-breaking offense, and scored 20 touchdowns. The Clemson commit is a star.
Running Back: Moonie Gipson, Kell – Gipson has been one of the top running backs in the state since his freshman season. The Georgia Tech commit ended the season last year with a tough injury, but that was after he rushed for 1,918 yards and 25 scores.
Wide Receiver: Taurean Rawlins, Mount Vernon – The Georgia commit finished his junior season with almost 70 receptions, 1,395 yards and 25 touchdowns. He quickly rose up recruiting boards last fall and emerged as a top playmaker in the Peach State.
