Florida State soccer beat Duke, 2-1, on Thursday, Oct. 29, at the Seminole Soccer Complex for the program's 500th win.
It's a critical win for the Seminoles (8-2-3) as the program currently sits just outside of the top six in the ACC standings. Those six programs make the ACC tournament. With results elsewhere in the league, FSU sits in eighth place, level on points with Miami, which it faces on Sunday, and one point behind Louisville in sixth.
First-half goals from Shaniel Buckley and Tanner Strickland put the Seminoles ahead in the opening 15 minutes. Both goals came within minutes of each other.
Moments after a Kate Ockene save forced a Duke corner kick, Buckley dribbled the length of the field before she calmly slotted her finish home past Blue Devil keeper Molly Vapensky in the 10th minute.
In the 13th minute, Strikland was first to react to a corner kick fired into the box, and her volleyed strike deflected off a Duke defender and into the net to double the lead. The Seminoles remained in control for much of the half, but errant communication between Ockene and Bridget Mutipula gifted the Blue Devils a goal.

The controversy surrounding Farid Basharat's UFC release continues to grow, with the former bantamweight now hitting back at Dana White's remarks. The 29-year-old was let go despite remaining unbeaten, finishing his UFC run with a perfect 7-0 record and an overall MMA record of 16-0.
One of the biggest talking points since Basharat's release has been his lack of finishes. Six of his seven UFC victories came by decision, but he consistently got the job done against tough competition. His most recent outing was a win over John Garza in July, adding to a resume that includes victories over Jean Matsumoto, Chris Gutierrez, and Taylor Lapilus.
White was asked why Basharat was not offered a new contract during the UFC Edmonton post-fight press conference. The UFC CEO suggested that a fighter's record is not always the only factor behind such decisions, pointing to possible issues with the matchmakers and fighters turning down bouts. He also hinted that there was a specific reason Basharat was not brought back.
Dana White hints there may be MORE to Farid Basharat’s UFC exit
“If you’re 16-0 with seven wins in the UFC and don’t get re-signed, there’s definitely a reason.”

Steelers rumors: Pittsburgh s 'open' to trade offers for Joey Porter Jr., with a catch appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers opened up their season with a relatively comfortable home win over the Atlanta Falcons. While the Steelers' offense didn't exactly blow anyone away, the defense was solid in this one, taking full advantage of Atlanta's dire quarterback situation to largely shut down the Falcons' offense.
Not in uniform for this game was Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who sat out despite being healthy as he looks for a new contract, which has prompted numerous trade rumors as the new season gets underway.
Now, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has stopped by The Pat McAfee Show to give the latest update on those rumors.

No. 4 Notre Dame rolled over the Rice Owls, 52-0, in the season's home opener for the Fighting Irish.
Notre Dame avoids the trap of falling to a heavy underdog early in the season, as it has in previous years. Instead, the coaches had the chance to get depth players game action, and the Irish should be well set up as the schedule gets harder going forward.
With a win like that, there are plenty of stars -- we have our top five stars below.
Notre Dame took the ball away four times as Rice struggled to hold on to the ball. Some fumbles were forced, some were not, but Notre Dame defenders hopped on four of them, including a Boubacar Traore scoop and score early.
Quarterback CJ Carr's favorite target took over the game early with two touchdowns. He had just four catches for 54 yards, but he was far more productive than the numbers indicate.

Defending champion Lando Norris narrowly beat championship leader Kimi Antonelli to claim pole position for the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix on Saturday.
The McLaren driver topped the timesheets with the best time of 1 minute 31.824 seconds on the new Madrid circuit to take his third pole of the season.
Antonelli was just 0.011 seconds behind, while Max Verstappen of Red Bull completed the top three, 0.140 seconds off the pace.
Lewis Hamilton thought he would recover from a crash in the final practice session in style as he had provisional pole with the fastest time after the first flying laps.
But the seven-time champion was beaten by Antonelli, who then lost the top position to Norris.

One of the best play-by-play broadcasters in American professional sports is the incredible Kevin Harlan. No matter what you are watching, the entertainment is raised exponentially if Kevin Harlan is on the call. Wednesday night's season opening game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots was a defensive thriller, coming down to an interception in the end zone to preserve the Seattle victory.
Already, the situation was dramatic enough. The Seahawks survived losing their starting quarterback, and despite being without two starting safeties (three, if you want to count Bud Clark who was lost in the preseason) the Seattle defense was just as suffocating as ever. Seattle successfully defended home turf against the team they crushed in the Super Bowl on the night they were celebrating their championship.
Little did I know the ending was actually more exciting than it was, and I give all the credit to Kevin Harlan who was calling the game for a radio audience. Harlan's final call of Jobe's interception was actually caught on film, and the video of his epic broadcast is one that needs to be seen.
What makes this video extra entertaining is seeing members of the Patriots coaching staff in the next booth over, looking incredibly dejected.
Seattle's defense was sublime on Wednesday. They intercepted Drake Maye on all three final possessions the Patriots had. Two led directly to Seahawk points, and the third ended the rematch. Drake Maye only had one multi-interception game all last season: Super Bowl LX. Now, he begins the 2026 campaign having thrown three in the first game.

Due to some sporadic runs of form and a very big helping hand from the footballing Gods, Liverpool found themselves qualifying for this season's Champions League and so the dream of more European nights at Anfield again became reality. For all of us Reds supporters and club it's the bare minimum requirement, and this writer has been luckily enough to have watched all six finals that Liverpool won, the first in 1977 when I was eight years old.
More importantly in the present moment, Wednesday evening is going to be the very first European game for head coach Andoni Iraola as head coach of any club, and let's hope that it will be even more than he could ever imagine because it's at Anfield and against one of the most difficult opponents in the Champions League in recent years in Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid.
Everyone involved in European football probably knows about those Famous European Nights at Anfield under the lights, but it's not all up to the supporters—the players will need to start in the right mood as they did against Ipswich, with intensity from the first whistle but unlike in that game the players won't be allowed to ease up until the final whistle is blown.
There is history between Liverpool and Atleti, with the Reds winning three of the seven times the clubs have faced off in the Champions League whilst Atletico have won two and then two draws between them. More than the match ups being fairly even there are the tough tactics of Simeone, who has a knack of getting under the skin of opposing managers as well his players being very physical in their play. It's going to be an interesting test for Iraola and the players but especially Liverpool's head coach as this will be his first experience of the Champions league and a congested fixture list.
"Big game, the first Champions League for me as a coach," Iraola noted during the post-Ipswich match interviews when he was asked about the approaching match against Atletico. "At Anfield, under the lights. I love to play at night."

49ers' George Kittle gets major status update for Week 1 vs. Rams after $2M roster cut originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The San Francisco 49ers will face their division rival, the Los Angeles Rams, in the season opener. There are still some important questions surrounding the status of Nick Bosa and George Kittle as they try to make it back in time to play.
Kittle suffered his injury during the playoffs last season, tearing his Achilles against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Niners tight end George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles in the second quarter of Sunday's 23-19 wild-card win over the Eagles, head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters postgame," NFL.com's Bobby Kownack wrote.
Earlier in the week, Kittle received a major update on his chances of playing in the season opener. He traveled with the 49ers to Australia with the possibility of making his return.

When Greg Dortch signed with the Detroit Lions in March, he seemed destined to spend the duration of the 2026 season with the team.
At the time, he was seen as a one-for-one replacement for Kalif Raymond, the scrappy slot receiver and return specialist who had just defected for the Chicago Bears at the dawn of free agency.
He also had a history of working under new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who called the plays during the final three seasons of Dortch's tenure with the Arizona Cardinals.
Throughout training camp and the preseason, the 5-foot-7, 183-pound Dortch appeared to be the leading candidate for the fourth receiver role and was among the top players under consideration to serve as the Lions' primary punt returner. Then, just like that, he was dumped Sunday when the team trimmed the roster to 53 men.
After resurfacing on the Buffalo Bills practice squad earlier this week, he told a group of reporters he was blindsided by the Lions' decision.

With active rosters expanding from 26 to 28 players now that it's September, the Mets have recalled outfielder Nick Morabito and right-handed relief pitcher Dylan Ross from Triple-A Syracuse.
Morabito made his major league debut in a brief stint with the Mets earlier this season. He went without a hit in 12 plate appearances over the course of the five games in which he appeared. In Syracuse, though, he's hit .254/.355/.388 with 13 home runs and 42 stolen bases in 46 attempts. That line is good for just a 96 wRC+ given the context of the International League.
Ross has yet to make his major league debut. Drafted by the Mets in the 13th round in 2022, he made his professional debut with one appearance in Single-A in 2024 before throwing 54.0 innings with a 2.17 ERA and a 3.32 across High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A stints in 2025. This year, he's thrown all but a few of his innings in Syracuse, and he has a 6.94 ERA and a 5.90 FIP in his time at that level. His walk rate—7.68 per nine or 16.8 percent—has been a significant problem, and he's given up quite a few home runs.

When Cincinnati Reds National League Rookie of the Year favorite Sal Stewart hit his 31st home run of the season in the seventh inning of their series finale against the Cubs at Wrigley Field, Stewart celebrated with a tribute to New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson as he rounded the bases.
It got the attention of celebrity Knicks fan Ben Stiller, who tweeted, "Love this."
After the game, when Stewart was asked during an on-field NBC interview about the celebration, he said he had told teammates he would "do the Brunson" when he homered.

The Colts are adding an offensive lineman to the roster on Sunday.
Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports that the Bills have agreed to trade center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger to Indianapolis. The Bills will also trade a 2027 seventh-round pick with the Colts sending a 2027 sixth-rounder back to Buffalo.
Van Pran-Granger was a 2024 fifth-round pick by the Bills and he played in 31 regular season games for the team. He started two of those contests and also appeared in three playoff games.
Tanor Bortolini is the starting center for the Colts and Van-Pran Granger will likely be slotted into a backup role with his new team.

Hamburger SV continue to pursue the signing of KRC Genk right-back Zakaria El Ouahdi as sporting director Claus Costa seeks to resolve one of the squad's most obvious remaining deficiencies before the transfer deadline. According to the Hamburger Abendblatt, HSV have already reached a basic agreement with the 24-year-old Moroccan international.
Belgian transfer reporter Sacha Tavolieri reports that the Bundesliga club are now preparing a third offer for Genk after their first two approaches failed to produce an agreement. El Ouahdi himself reportedly favors the move. Kicker identifies the defender as Hamburg's preferred solution and reports that a deal could cost approximately €13m plus bonuses.
The Morocco international offers substantial attacking production from the right flank. El Ouahdi registered eight goals and five **** ists in 34 league appearances last season, adding another four goals across nine Europa League outings. His potential arrival would also address a weakness that Get German Football News' 2026/27 Hamburger SV tactical preview identified as one of the club's principal unresolved personnel issues.
Following the departures of William Mikelbrencis and Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Bakery Jatta currently stands as the only established option for Merlin Polzin on the right wing-back position. HSV have consequently been seeking a player capable of moving ahead of Jatta in the hierarchy.
Bayer Leverkusen full-back Arthur remains the alternative should HSV decide that El Ouahdi's overall package is too expensive. Florian Plettenberg previously reported that Hamburg had reached a basic verbal agreement with the 23-year-old Brazilian over a season-long loan without a purchase option. GGFN covered Arthur's potential departure as part of Leverkusen's extensive late-window restructuring. Die Werkself are themselves attempting to sign Strasbourg right-back Guéla Doué and are prepared to sanction Arthur's temporary departure.

The Cincinnati Bengals front office went all in this offseason to rebuild the defense as quickly as possible going into 2026.
The Bengals traded for Dexter Lawrence and also brought in multiple free agents like Boye Mafe, Bryan Cook, Jonathan Allen, and others.
Cook is an exciting addition after playing college football for the Bearcats and winning multiple Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cook is an exciting addition after playing college football for the Bearcats and winning multiple Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes may be forced to limit his phone time due to bad service during training camp, but there's one person he always makes sure to text — his wife, Brittany Mahomes.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 30, revealed his communication priorities during a press conference on Tuesday, August 25, while discussing Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz, whom Mahomes previously praised for helping him through his ACL recovery.
"St. Joe's dorm rooms, man, you don't get a lot of text messages," Mahomes joked, referring to the rooms at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Mo., where the Chiefs hold training camp. But Brittany, 30, is the exception.
"I just try to make sure I text Brittany," he added. "If I text Brittany, I'm usually in a good spot."

The vibes surrounding Auburn football are high ahead of the 2026 season as Alex Golesh takes over the program, which has been absent from postseason play the last two seasons.
Experts across the country believe Auburn football will return to bowl season in 2026, but two from ESPN have differing opinions on how much the Tigers will improve this season.
ESPN's Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach return to make weekly bowl projections and have released their debut forecast for the 2026 season. Both experts expect Auburn to earn a bowl bid, but neither is high on Auburn playing in a prestigious bowl game or even making the College Football Playoff.
Bonagura's first projection pits Auburn against TCU in the Kinder's Texas Bowl, which is scheduled for New Year's Eve at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Horned Frogs were a solid program in 2025, going 8-4 in the regular season and earning an overtime win over USC in the Alamo Bowl. TCU opened its campaign by upsetting North Carolina in Chapel Hill, 48-14, spoiling the home opener for NFL head coach legend Bill Belichick.
Schlabach is less optimistic in Auburn, as he projects the Tigers to stay in their home state this postseason to face Duke in the JLab Birmingham Bowl at Protective Stadium on Tuesday, Dec. 29. Duke upset the Virginia Cavaliers last season to win the ACC Championship, which kept them out of the College Football Playoff. The Blue Devils defeated Arizona State at the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl in El Paso, capping a four-game winning streak to end the season.

BEREA ― Browns fans who are still missing Myles Garrett some two-and-a-half months since the June trade sent him to Los Angeles Rams, just know this. You have someone to commiserate with in Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins.
Sort of. Maybe?
"I'm sad too," Dawkins said following the Aug. 20 joint practice with the Browns. "I'm sad too, man, because Myles is over there in LA and we got to see him. Week what, 5 or 6. So wish Myles was here."

Although the guy the Browns received from the Rams in exchange for the two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year isn't exactly someone Dawkins would say he's thrilled to go against. Jared Verse, also a defensive end, is a 25-year-old who already has two Pro Bowl appearances and was 2024 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Spanish champions Barcelona have spent the summer strengthening different areas of their squad.
They have signed Rodri from Manchester City, which meant adding a Ballon d'Or winner and World Cup-winning captain to a midfield already packed with talent.
They have added pace and width in their attack with Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi, while Belgian winger Jesse Bisiwu, 18, has arrived as a longer-term investment.
But there is one notable gap - Barcelona do not have an established striker.
With their first La Liga fixture away to Elche on Sunday, 23 August, Hansi Flick's side could go through the campaign without a number nine if they do not sign a striker before the window shuts on 1 September.

Former Cincinnati Reds great Joey Votto generated buzz on social media with his responses to questions on "MLB Now" from MLB Network's Brian Kenny about whether he's interested in working for his former team.
Votto's response to the question about becoming the Reds' GM sounded drenched in sarcasm, but you be the judge.
"Do you want to coach or manage or get back in the game officially?" Kenny asked Votto.
"No, I don't," Votto replied. "Thank you for the confidence. It's very kind. Any time you're wanted, it's an honor. But I get to do this. I get to come here and hang out. And, no I'm just not motivated to hop on a plane and head all over the country. And, most importantly, to serve the hitter, you have to spend time in the minor leagues."
"How about front office?" Kenny asked Votto.

The St. Louis Cardinals have momentum, but would that translate into a sweep of the day/night doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds Monday night? The ball was in the hands of Andre Pallante who's turned into one of the Cardinals most reliable starters this season. The question was if the Cardinals bats would give him the run support he needed. The answer would come from the bat of Herrera and the hits and hustle of Jordan Walker, but the outcome would eventually fall into the hands of the Cardinals bullpen.
The Cincinnati Reds were the first to score Monday night in the bottom of the 1st inning when Elly De La Cruz, Sal Stewart and JJ Bleday hit back-to-back-to-back singles to open their half of the inning loading the bases. Eugenio Suarez lifted a sacrifice fly to center to give the Reds a 1-0 lead, but that's all they would get in the 1st after Pallante was able to nurse a double play out of Toglia.
In the top of the 4th inning, the Cardinals would begin their own rally when Iván Herrera (who had just remarkably thrown out Elly De La Cruz) blasted a 93 mph sinker into the right-centerfield seats to tie the game 1-1.
Alec Burleson and Jordan Walker hit back-to-back singles before Joshua Báez grounded into a fielder's choice advancing Burleson to third. Alec would then score when Masyn Winn slapped a single into right field giving St. Louis a 2-1 advantage.
The Reds would squander a great scoring chance in the bottom of the 4th inning when Bleday and Suarez hit back-to-back singles leading off the inning giving Cincinnati runners at 1st and 3rd with no outs. However, they would get nothing when Pallante struck out Toglia and McLain before getting Rodriguez to weakly ground out to Burleson at first to end the inning. No soup for you!
