Luke Kuechly spent his playing career making sure he never had to guess where the ball was going. But these days, the harder question is guessing which network has him next.
CBS announced Monday that the newly enshrined Pro Football Hall of Famer will make his debut as a CBS game ****** yst in Week 3, calling Raiders-Saints from New Orleans alongside play-by-play voice Chris Lewis and sideline reporter Amanda Balionis.
A radio ****** yst for the Carolina Panthers, Kuechly's stock skyrocketed in recent months as he became Netflix's top NFL game ****** yst after auditioning with Noah Eagle at NBC's Stamford, Connecticut studios in early July. Eagle said Kuechly's football knowledge was never in question — that much was obvious from his playing days — but what stood out during their audition, a mock call of a game from the previous season, was how quickly he got comfortable in the chair given he'd never done the job before. Eagle told Sports Media Watch that it felt like Kuechly "could see things happening before they happen."
He justified that faith in his Week 1 debut, as Awful Announcing's Megan Armstrong wrote that he dazzled alongside Eagle in Melbourne, with the reaction across sports media running overwhelmingly positive.
The streamer is expanding its NFL package from two games to five this year, including the opening-week matchup in Australia, a Thanksgiving Eve game, and a Saturday night game in Week 18, and Kuechly is expected to anchor most of that slate. Between Netflix and his new CBS ****** ignments, he's on pace to call somewhere in the range of eight to 10 games as a game ****** yst this season, on top of his usual Sunday work as a Panthers radio ****** yst. Kuechly is also replacing Bill Belichick opposite Peyton Manning on The Breakdown.

Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker officially introduced himself to the grander college football world as a budding superstar on Saturday in his team's upset home win over No. 6 Oregon.
Taking down the Ducks is no small feat, particularly for an unranked program like the Cowboys. However, Mestemaker's heroics and stellar stat line (317 passing yards, two touchdowns; 109 rushing yards, one touchdown) buffeted a Cowboys offense that scored 39 on Oregon's vaunted defense.
One touchdown saw Mestemaker quite literally take air and fly into the end zone, which feels like the defining moment of his college football career so far. It's a majestic play; no wonder the NFL may be keen on this guy.
This is the statement play every breakout game demands; what an afternoon in Stillwater for Mestemaker.

A serious team requires serious stats by which they'll be evaluated. Over the last calendar year, the Chicago Bears have become a serious team led by a serious head coach in Ben Johnson and a serious quarterback in Caleb Williams. Which means that the world of ****** ytics in football will be more relevant for them in 2026 than we have perhaps seen in years past.
While not as robust (or widely utilized) as their counterparts in the baseball world, advanced stats have progressively become more relevant for the NFL and its players in recent years. Pro Football Focus is sort of a driver of this increase, and it's here that we begin our journey into this world.
PFF, as it's known colloquially, ****** igns a grade for every action that a player completes on the field. These grades occur on a scale from +2 to -2, with zero representing the average in between the two ends of the spectrum. These grades don't just occur in a vacuum, either. Positional context and the game situation itself are each taken into account as part of where a given play lands on the scale.

A 24-year-old man accused of taking part in a series of high-end home break-ins in the Philadelphia suburbs appeared in a Montgomery County courtroom Thursday.
Jabir Hanif Parker is accused of burglarizing homes from June through August, focusing on master bedrooms and closets in search of expensive jewelry, watches and other valuables.
Investigators say the cases involve three residential burglaries and an attempted burglary at the home of Eagles star Saquon Barkley in Malvern.
Two homeowners were home during the incidents, including Barkley and his family, while two were not.
Authorities say the crimes were sophisticated and appeared to involve planning.

Every player on the Detroit Red Wings roster for the club's upcoming NHL Rookie Tournament has carved their own path to get to this destination. They've all written a unique hockey story along the way.
Here's a look at just a few of these tales.
Defenseman Justice Christensen signed an AHL contract with the Grand Rapids Griffins. He also played in last year's rookie series against the Dallas Stars, back then as a free agent.
Christensen is a hockey world champion, which in itself isn't necessarily unique among the NHL prospects that will be on display at this tourney. That is, until you learn how he won his world ******* le.
In the summer of 2025, Christensen, then a defenseman with the WHL Prince Albert Raiders, captained Canada to the World U20 ball hockey gold medal. He talked about his other hockey passion in an interview on the Raiders' Facebook page.

Twenty-six races are in the books. The points have been reset. And now the real fight begins.
NASCAR's 16-driver Chase field opens its 10-race championship run Sunday night with the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. But the regular season left behind more than race winners and a postseason field.
There were run-ins, rivalries, manufacturer battles and even a legal fight away from the track.
Before the green flag falls on NASCAR's first Chase since the championship format was overhauled, here are six of the biggest feuds, clashes and tension points that helped shape the 2026 regular season.
One of the season's wildest confrontations came at Martinsville.

Donovan Mitchell could have been part of one of the great Villanova teams. He revealed how legendary head coach Jay Wright's honesty ended up changing that.
Donovan Mitchell has become one of the modern NBA's best scorers, he is already a 7-time All-Star at the age of 29. The Cleveland Cavaliers man is yet to win a championship, but he could've had one in college.
Mitchell played for two years with the Louisville Cardinals between 2015 and 2017 before declaring for the NBA Draft. However, there was a chance he could have joined Villanova instead.
As with any top high school player, Mitchell met with various head coaches before deciding where to commit. And his meeting with Jay Wright is what led to him not joining the program.

Miami star receiver Malachi Toney has a big new NIL deal to show off just before the 2026 campaign officially begins for the Hurricanes. He's now got an endorsement deal with Adidas.
According to a post on social media from Nice Kicks, Toney signed with Adidas, joining an elite roster that includes the likes of Patrick Mahomes, Fernando Mendoza, Travis Hunter and Jeremiah Smith. Former Miami players Rueben Bain, David Njoku, and Braxton Berrios also rep the brand. Toney is one of the most electric receivers in the game, set to enter his sophomore season this fall.

The goal for the Braves will hopefully be to get to Lord as fast as possible to get the the subpar Nationals bullpen that has the third worst ERA in MLB this season. The Braves need to win games they are supposed to win to stay in first in the NLE, and this is one of those games.

Looking to bring some perspective to all he's accomplished, Jalen Hurts channeled his inner Rocky in hopes of returning to Super Bowl glory. Following their beatdown of the Chiefs, Hurts reached the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps at the end of the Eagles' championship parade, but the demands surrounding that moment prevented him from completely absorbing it.
He returned during a quiet June morning to search for a feeling he missed the first time.
GQ's recent wide-ranging profile of the star quarterback opens with Hurts climbing the steps shortly after 5 a.m., with the crowds, speeches and championship celebration long gone. It was his first visit since the Eagles completed their Super Bowl parade there in February 2025. The decision offered rare insight into how Hurts processes success. His attention typically shifts toward the next challenge before he has allowed himself to appreciate the previous accomplishment.
That mentality has helped him survive disappointment and remain focused in a demanding market. It can also make the rewards of winning feel temporary.
Hurts led the Eagles past Kansas City in Super Bowl LIX, earning game MVP honors and avenging Philadelphia's defeat two years earlier. The victory secured his place in franchise history, but the quarterback quickly returned to work. His early-morning visit was not about recreating the parade. It was an attempt to appreciate what the team and city had experienced together without the responsibilities that came with being at the center of it.

Citing threats, Red Sox radio play-by-play man Will Flemming apologized Monday for saying Boston pitcher Jovani Morán should drill catcher Austin Wells and start a fight with second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr., because he thinks Chisholm is a "bush league player" that "doesn't play the game the right way."
"Since I have been receiving nonstop calls and threats, I felt like it was important to hop back on here and say: My comments during yesterday's broadcast crossed a line. I'm emotional and a fan at heart and that bled into the broadcast," he posted on X,
"I meant no disrespect to the Yankees players or organization. I could and should have used different words. These rivalry games get me fired up; I apologize for letting the emotion of the moment get the best of me."
Knicks guard Josh Hart also posted on X: "Yo redsox your idiotic announcer got to go."
With the Yankees up 7-1 in a game they won 16-1, Chisholm stole a pair of bases to get to third base.

Novak Djokovic is out of the US Open after a first-round defeat, saying he "despised" every moment of the five-set and near five-hour ordeal.
The 39-year-old looked physically spent, was repeatedly sick and regularly doubled over in pain, but still took Argentina's Mariano Navone the distance.
The 24-time Grand Slam champion later admitted the underlying health issue he first revealed two weeks ago was "serious", although he remains intent on getting the problem fixed.
However, he could not prevent a 7-6 (5) 5-7 4-6 6-2 6-1 defeat and first exit in the opening round of a major since Paul Goldstein beat him at the Australian Open in 2006.
"I think it was obvious that it was an awful feeling on the court for me," said Djokovic.

Chelsea have been signing players all summer, but it looked like a new goalkeeper wouldn't be among them.
That all changed this week, when rumours of interest in Emi Martinez quickly turned to reality. It was really impressive how fast the deal was done, and many fans and pundits are putting it down to new manager Xabi Alonso and his decisiveness.
"There was some uncertainty about whether Emiliano Martinez would feature given his arrival was only confirmed this morning but the goalkeeper was registered in time," Nick Wright wrote for Sky Sports.

Daytona International Speedway had been unusually quiet Saturday night. Then, with five laps remaining, everything changed.
Carson Hocevar lost control of his No. 77 Chevrolet late in the ****** e Zero Sugar 400, slamming the outside wall before collecting Erik Jones in a violent crash that brought out just the third caution of the night.
The wreck instantly changed the complexion of NASCAR's regular-season finale after the field had spent much of the race avoiding the kind of late-race chaos that has become synonymous with Daytona.
Hocevar was racing in the pack in the closing laps when his car suddenly broke loose and shot toward the outside wall.
The No. 77 Chevrolet made heavy contact, and Jones had virtually nowhere to escape as the incident unfolded directly in front of him. Jones' No. 43 Toyota was collected in the crash and also sustained a significant impact.

The Cleveland Browns have until Sunday at 6:00 PM ET to make roster cuts and announce their initial 53-man roster. Some of those cuts or rumors about roster moves might leak early, though. The Browns may also announce them in waves — for example, some cuts may be announced Friday, some on Saturday, etc.
All players who are released with less than four years of service must go through waivers and are eligible to be claimed by any other team until 1:00 PM ET on Monday. After that, any unclaimed player can be signed and teams will begin to fill out their 16-man practice squads.
Veterans with more than four years of service can sign immediately after being released.
You can also use the comments section to discuss cuts around the NFL that may be of interest to Cleveland. According to FanDuel, the Browns are 225/1 odds to win the Super Bowl, heading into final roster cuts.
7:30 AM: Reminder that the Browns are scheduled to practice today, with players speaking to the media at 11 AM, with Todd Monken following at 11:50 before the 12:15 practice. It would be somewhat strange, unless there was some secret plan with a player or two, for more than 53 players to be practicing today. Then again, Monken can do what he wants until the players are cut. Would also be risking injuries for players who are going to get cut and could sign elsewhere. Just seems unlikely, so stayed tuned here to the tracker all morning!

Former coach Urban Meyer understands Kyle Whittingham's point. He just thinks Michigan's new head coach is approaching the Ohio State rivalry with a little too much common sense.
After Whittingham rejected the idea that he needs to personally hate Ryan Day and Bryce Underwood called Ohio State "just another game," Meyer offered a very different philosophy. For the former Buckeyes coach, hatred does not have to be personal to be useful.
During a recent The Triple Option podcast episode, Meyer said he never personally hated Jim Harbaugh or Brady Hoke, but that distinction disappeared once Michigan became the opponent.
"Do I hate them? Absolutely, I hate them, and that's your job to hate them," Meyer said. "You got to play the game."
Meyer predicted Whittingham may develop more of that edge after his first trip to Columbus as Michigan's head coach. More importantly, he argued that a coach at either program has to understand what the rivalry means to the people around it.

Gennaro Gattuso was grateful to his Lazio players for their solid performance in Bologna, reserving special praise for new signing, Davide Frattesi.
The Biancocelesti began their Serie A campaign on a positive note, beating their Emilian hosts at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara thanks to Frattesi's solitary strike. This victory came just eight days after the shocking Coppa Italia elimination at the hands of Mantova.
In his post-match press conference (via Il Messaggero), Gattuso explained that the team showed more determination off the ball, especially Boulaye Dia and Kenneth Taylor, who pressed high.
Nothing has changed in a week. We simply have to believe in what we are doing, without staying halfway. If you press the ball carrier half-heartedly, you leave yourself exposed to counter-attacks in open **** e.We worked well with Taylor and Dia in the first press, then we often risked one-on-ones and the centre-backs did well. I'm happy with the group I'm coaching.
The Calabrian manager also applauded Christos Mandas for his formidable display between the sticks, while urging his players to improve in the final third.

Entering the summer, wide receiver John Metchie III was far from a lock to make the Carolina Panthers' initial 53-man roster. But now, it feels like he may be angling for more than just a spot on the program.
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton named the biggest winners and losers from Week 2 of the preseason. Metchie was listed amongst the former group following his productive performance in Carolina's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday night.
And with fellow wideout Xavier Legette currently dealing with an ankle injury, Moton opines that Metchie could even crack the starting lineup come September:
If Legette's injury lingers, Metchie could carve out a role in three-receiver sets alongside 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen ***** er. Because of the Panthers' injuries at the position, he's almost certain to make the roster after signing a one-year, $1.9 million deal in March.
That didn't seem like a realistic prospect when training camp began, as Metchie was one of a handful of receivers competing for the backend of a relatively crowded room. But the setback to Legette, as well as to 2026 third-round pick Chris Brazzell II, may breed some opportunity for the former second-round pick.

The announcements of Tigers finding their way on to watch lists continued on Friday. Princewill Umanmielen, Whit Weeks, and DJ Pickett were each named to the Bednarik Award preseason watch list.
The Chuck Bednarik Award is given annually to college football's best defensive player. The honor is presented by the Maxwell Football Club, the same club that bestows the Maxwell Award to the top overall college football player. Both are two of the most distinguished honors in the sport.
Named after Chuck Bednarik, a former All-American at the University of Pennsylvania and Pro Football Hall of Famer, the award is chosen by a wide variety of voters including NCAA head coaches, sports writers, sports casters, and the members of the Maxwell Football Club. It was established in 1995 and was won most recently by linebacker Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech.
Only two players in LSU's program history have earned the honor and they came in back-to-back years. Patrick Peterson won it in 2010, followed by Tyrann Mathieu in 2011.
Princewill Umanmielen came over with Lane Kiffin from Ole Miss and is poised to give Blake Baker a legitimate pass rusher, which they were missing a year ago. The senior defensive end was #3 in the SEC in 2025 with 9.0 sacks. The last time LSU had a player record at least 9.0 sacks was 10 years ago when Arden Key set the program's single-season record with 12.0. Umanmielen is also a force against rushing attacks, finishing #8 in the conference with 13.0 tackles for loss. He was a Third-Team All-SEC selection last year and has already been named to the Preseason Coaches All-SEC Team.

ST. LOUIS – As Rory McIlroy settled into a chair to be interviewed by Golf Channel's Kira K. Dixon, he summed up his bogey-free 6-under 64 at Bellerive Country Club on Thursday – good enough for a share of the lead with four other players at the BMW Championship — in one word.
"Unexpected," McIlroy, the world No. 2 and reigning Masters champion, said.
"I knew you had it in you," Dixon shot back with a smile.
McIlroy was coming off a dismal performance in the sweltering heat of Memphis at a TPC Southwind course that he's on record as saying isn't his cup of tea. The Northern Irishman got lapped by winner Scottie Scheffler, finishing 66th and beating just two players in the field who bothered to complete 72 holes.
McIlroy left Memphis deflated but he flew home and got back to work on Monday with his longtime swing coach Michael Bannon and caddie Harry Diamond.

For those wondering why Ilja Dragunov has been missing from WWE programming for months, there's apparently one very simple answer: ***** ytics.
Per WrestleVotes Live on Fightful Select, the Mad Dragon's name has reportedly not been mentioned backstage "in weeks," and one major factor for his ongoing absence is WWE's reliance on ***** ytics. Basically, WWE operates under a "Moneyball" approach these days, ***** ysing numbers, clicks, view time, etc when looking at which talents to feature on TV. As TC of WrestleVotes put it in regards to Dragunov, "they don't click on his name," and that WWE nowadays uses such ***** ytics "more than anyone will ever know".
It's not just Ilja Dragunov who's been impacted by this approach, as TC suggested the former United States Champion is one of several names in a similar position. Likewise, it was also pointed out that Ilja has minimal merchandise on WWE Shop, which makes it tricky for fans to order his merch when, well, there's only one Dragunov t-shirt to buy; a t-shirt that (potentially) ominously is on clearance right now, with nearly 50% off.
In the case of Ilja Dragunov, he last wrestled on the SmackDown before WrestleMania 42, where he was involved in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal that was won by Royce Keys. Since then, the 32-year-old Russian has been completely absent from TV. In fact, Ilja has only had eight main TV matches in 2026 so far, though he has also worked the odd WWE Main Event taping or live event match.
For those wondering whether there have been any injuries at play for Dragunov, all reports suggest he's been fit and healthy this entire time, and he's also been shown training at Natalya and TJ Wilson's Dungeon numerous times in the four months he's been away from TV.

As Hall of Famer Deion Sanders prepares for his fourth season as the head coach at Colorado, the Buffaloes are stumbling and ****** bling as a TV attraction.
Via Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports, the ratings for Colorado games on ESPN fell 67 percent from 2023 to 2025.
It's no surprise. In 2023, Deion was the next big thing in college football — even as a 3-0 start melted to a 4-8 finish. In 2024, the Buffaloes turned it around, going 9-3 in the regular season. (The Buffaloes lost to BYU, 36-14, in their bowl game.)
Last year, without Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, the backslide began. The Buffaloes went 3-9, capping the season with a five-game losing streak.
It's no surprise. Colorado hasn't parlayed the Coach Prime effect into the kind of recruits that can win more games than they lose. This year, the program is fighting a narrative that the players look too small.

Atlético Madrid head coach Diego Simeone on Tuesday made use of the opportunity to send another unwavering transfer message the way of Barcelona. This of course comes amid the latter's ongoing pursuit of Rojiblancos star Julián Alvarez.
It is of course Spanish football's worst-kept secret that the Camp Nou brass have set their sights on the signature of frontman Alvarez with a view to next season. Amid an ongoing search for a long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski, the 26-year-old has been identified as the ideal fit for Hansi Flick's setup.
Efforts to make the transfer a reality have, in turn, been ongoing for several months now.
Barca's push, however, has been met time and time again with complete resistance on the part of those in the boardroom at La Liga rivals Atlético Madrid.
And if the latest comments on the part of the aforementioned Diego Simeone are anything to go by, then this stance looks unlikely to change over the weeks ahead.

O.J. Brigance, a former Baltimore Ravens linebacker and their longtime senior adviser to player development, has died, the team announced Monday evening.
Brigance battled ALS for the past 19 years. He was 56.
"For 22 years, we've been blessed to have O.J. as a teammate, friend and brother. It's a sad day, but also a celebration of all the gifts that O.J. bestowed upon our team and our city and the entire NFL community." Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said in a statement. "O.J. inspired us with humility, faithfulness, determination, competitiveness and love for humankind.
"We never once saw O.J. angry or frustrated by his disease. Instead, we all witnessed a hero who influenced so many people through his unwavering optimism and grit. O.J. Brigance is the definition of what it means to live like a Raven. I will miss his smile and the twinkle of joy in his eyes."
Brigance, one of the most revered figures in the organization and a source of inspiration to players, coaches and team officials, was diagnosed with ALS at age 38 following a seven-year NFL career with the Miami Dolphins, Ravens, St. Louis Rams and New England Patriots.

The Miami Dolphins may have left their visit with the Washington Commanders officially carrying a loss from their preseason meeting and unofficially from their joint practice, but an early preseason meeting isn't all about the overall stats. The Dolphins, the youngest team in the NFL, including 13 drafted rookies this year, are trying to establish a new identity under first-year head coach Jeff Hafley. After years of focusing on speed, finesse, and mismatches, Miami is now trying to bring back physicality.
According to the South Florida Sun Sentinel's David Furones, they showed it against the Commanders. When providing a review of the team's weekend in Maryland and Virginia, Furones highlighted Miami's improved physical play:
Blocking and physicality
The Dolphins' first-team offensive line kept a clean pocket for Willis. That unit also got a push up front in the run game.
The two young guards, Kadyn Proctor and Jonah Savaiinaea, looked good in their first in-game action this season, so that's a plus. New reserve lineman Caedan Wallace had a nice day in his Dolphins debut after being picked up in a trade with the New England Patriots.
Physicality is one of the keys Hafley is trying to instill early on, and it's working.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Dalton Knecht don't appear to be a good fit.
The Tennessee alum showed flashes of an NBA-level sharpshooter in his rookie season, but fizzled out of the rotation in his sophomore year, spending most of his time either in the G League or warming the bench. That was despite Lakers head coach JJ Redick hyping him up as a key piece of their future on several occasions.
With 16 players on the roster, the Lakers need to trim the fat entering the new season. One intriguing Lakers trade idea won't cut down the roster size, but would add a piece that could really help Redick's team fill a void at the wing position.

Debbie Kent first went to the Lansing Laurels softball clinic when she was just 13. She was still too young to try out for the squad, but she became the batgirl.
Little did she know then that eventually she would become one of the best pitchers to ever wear the Laurels jersey, and now Kent will be honored as part of the Greater Lansing Sports Hall of Fame's 2026 class.
"I found out that my friends had nominated me for it, and it's a great honor," Kent said. "I really am very appreciative of it. My teammates and coaches are really the ones who should be getting it."
As soon as Kent was old enough to participate during the Laurels clinic in the early 1970s, her pitching prowess was quickly noticed. She made the team and thrived on the mound from ages 16-18, and her entire family got to travel with her to see the Laurels play across the Midwest.
"That was the most important thing to me, having my family there to support me," Kent said. "We always knew when my dad arrived because he had a cowbell and he would start ringing it and you could hear it from two blocks away so everyone would know he was there."
